MONEY MARKET.-(TIIIE DAY.)

On o'OLuas.

The English funds were in demand this morning,
and experienced a fresh rise of A per cent., but
have since relapsed to the cloning prices of yester-
day upon sales to realise profits. It is asserted
that most of the recent purchases have been on
account of speculators, while the public have been
selling stock bought much lower prices
last year, when the feeling of distrust
with regard to most other securities *as
much greater than now. This statement is
to a great extent confirmed by the demand for
money in the Stock Exchange amongst the dealers,
who are freely offering '2 to '2i per cent, for loans
on Consols. Railway stocks also opened at an
improvement, but have given way in sympathy
with the funds, with one or two exceptions. Some
of the foreign bonds are better. Attention is
chiefly directed to the fortnightly settle-
ment, which has just commenced, and
will be completed on Friday. The rates of
"continuation" on most of the British railway
stocks range from 4to 6 per cent. per annum but
on Brighton a " backwardation" of per cent. is
quoted.

The demand for mom/ to-day has somewhat
Unproved ; but the supply is large, and good three
months' bills are still taken at I per cent. below
the Bank minimum.

Consols are now quoted 94a to 3, ez div., for
money, and 94/ to ex div., for the account
(July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 93j to 94.
The purchase by the government broker to-day
for the Sinking Fund is 13,000/. New Three per
Cents., at 9n.

Foreign stocks are firmer, with transactions to a
good extent. Spanish Passive Bonds and Turkish
of 1865, are in prominent demand, and
had risen / per cent. Turkish of 1862
are higher, and Greek and Mexican, *.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 60 to 61 ;
ditto Five per Cents, of 1865, 34} to / ; Greek,
15/ to 16; Spanish Passive, 25 to *; ditto Certifi-
cates, 141 to ; Italian of 1861, 52g to ; and
