HONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Otnt efteoz.
In consequence of the absence of business, very
few variations have occurred to-day in the stock
markets, but the tendency is rather firm. The
additional news received to-day has strengthened
the belief that no serious political disturb-
ance will arise in Italy through the arrest
of Garibaldi, while it is expected that a consider-
able amount of gold will be sent into the Bank
next week. But for these favourable considerations
the transactions would probably exhibit a slight
preponderance of sales. Consols and most of the
British railway securities are quoted the same as
yesterday, and the changes in foreign stocks,
though in an upward direction, are not important.
There is no new feature in the discount market,
the supply of money being still very large, the de-
mand moderate, and the rates for choice bills with_
out change.

Consols are quoted 94 to for money, and
94} to ;1 the Bth October, and the Three per
Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 92„
to e, ex div. _
