MONEY MARKET.-(TffIS DAL)

Ora o'Ouraz.

In the Stock Exchange to-day, the transactions
are still chiefly confined to the settlement of the
fortnightly account. The tendency of the markets
generally is firm, a favourable view still being
taken by the majority of the dealers with regard to
the future course of Italian affairs. The events of
the next day or two in the Peninsula will probably
fully confirm or utterly dissipate these impres-
sions, and meanwhile there is little disposition on
the part of many of the speculators to enter
into fresh operations, although, as may be
inferred from the firmness of quotations, the
dealings show a preponderance of purchases.
Consols are strong, at the advance of yes-
terday. Some of the foreign bonds are better,
but the only movement in railway stocks is a
further decline in Caledonian, upon a rumour that,
through a disagreement with the directors, the
committee of investigation has resigned.
There is no new feature in the discount market,
and the charge for short loans in the Stock
Exchange is still I per cent.

Consols are quoted 04 to i both for money and
the account (Nov. 7). The Three per Cents.
Reduced and New Three per Cents., are at 921
to /, being firm.

exception of a fresh reduction of 1 per cant. in Ca-
ledonian, viz., to 894 to 90. Metropolitan is quoted

North Western, 114 to ; Midland, 118 to 1 ;

Eastern, 661 to 67 ; Great Eastern, 321 to ; Great
Northern, 109 to 110 ; ditto A., 1141 to 115 ;
London, Chatham, and Dover, 171 to 18 ; North
British, S 3 to ; and Brighton, 53 to 1.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are in demand, and have
improved per cent., viz., to 631 to 64k. Spanish
Passive are better, at 181 to 19, and the Com-
mittee's Certificates firm, at 16k to 1 ; Turkish of
1865 are quoted 311 to 32 ; Italian of 1861, 441
to 45 ; Chilian Scrip, Ito dis. ; Egyptian, 1864,

HALF-PAST THREE ()TEO( K.

Consols improved about 2 o'clock to 94i to
both for money and the account, but have since
relapsed to 941 to f. Other securities are steady.
About 67,0001. in bar gold hays been withdrawn
from the Bank for exportation.
No telegrams have yet been received from the
Paris Bourse, it being stated that the telegraphic

affairs.

Friday next, the Ist of November, being the day
for striking the half-yearly balance at the Bank of
England, the transfer offices at that establishment
will be closed, and the Stock Exchange is expected
to be likewise shut, unless in the improbable event
of some intelligence arriving of sufficient gravity to
cause the usual practice to be departed from.

The subjoined circular, announcing a final call of
1/. per share, has been issued by the Credit Foncier
of England (Limited)
The directors of the Credit Foncier of England (Limited)
have much pleasure in being able to inform the sham-
holders that the liquidation of the old company has been
completed, with the exception of the payment of the
amount due to debenture holders and depositors. As the
shareholders are probably aware, the new Joint-Stock Com-
panies' Act, which has just come into operation, pro-
vides, among other things, for the issue of shares to bearer
when fully paid up. With the two-fold object of com-
pleting the liquidation of the old company without a dia.
advantageous realisation of securities, and of availing
themselves, in accordance with the wish expressed by
many shareholders' of the advantage conferred by the act
of issuing shares to bearer, the directors have this day made
the final called U. per share on the company's shares, thus
making them fully paid up, and thereby terminating the
shareholders' liability. The directors think that they are
justified in believing that, when the shares are fully
paid up, and capable of being transferred from hand to
hand by simple delivery, an influential class of investors
who have hitherto avoided the possession of shares entail-
ing liability or requiring registration, will be found to
invest in the company's stock, and thus enhance it.
market value. With a view of meeting the convenience of
all claws of shareholders, the directors, as will be seen
by the enclosed notice, have divided the payment of the
call into two instalmenta, viz., 10s. per share, payable on
the 20th November next, and 10s. per share on the 20th
day of December next ; and the directors have further
given an option to any shareholder who may desire it, to
postpone the payment of the instalment due on the 30th
November until the 20th December, subject to
the payment of 5 per cent. interest for the
time of such delay. On the other band, to meet the desire
of those shareholders who may prefer to have their shares
fully paid up at as early a period as possible, the directors
will permit the payment due on the 20th December to
be made on the 20th November, such shareholders
receiving discount at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
for the period of such prepayment. While thus announ-
cing the immediate and satisfactory termination of the
liquidation under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, by
which the original liability on the old shares of the com-
pany has been reduced to the extent of 121. per share, the
directors take this opportunity of expressing their satis-
faction in being able to state thr.t the position of this
company, and of its assets is, in their opinion, by the
progress of the various undertakings in which it is inte-
rested, steadily improving.—By onler,
