MONEY MARKE2THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocs.

The funds are quite unaltered in price, and the
market is steady in character, although :he Paris
Bourse has given way this morning. The announce-
ment of the Indian loan is hourly expected, but no
authentic particulars have yet transpired.
Console are quoted 97 for money, and 97 to for
the Bth April. Exchequer Bills have been dealt in
at 38e. to 41s. prem., showing a rise; Exchequer
Bonds, falling payable in May next, at 99; ; ditto,
May, 1869, at 1011 and 101.
The foreign stock market remains quiet. Turkish
Six per Cents. are well supported at 1011 to
102. Buenos Ayres Bonds are rather more
offered, whilst Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese,
meet with a moderate inquiry. Sales are recorded
as follows:—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents.,
for account, 78; Eqnador New Consolidated
Bonds, 141 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863,
461; Russian Five per Cents., 110/ to 111, ex div. ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Sardinian
Five per Cents., 911; Spaaish Three per Cents., 441 ;
ditto for account (March 29), 441; the Passive Bonds,
81; Turkish Six per Cents. for account ((March
29), 1014.

At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Roams
opened at 69fr. 60c. for the account, showing
a further decline of nearly I per oent.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 27,0001,

In the discount market there was yesterday a fair
demand for money, at 21 to 2j per cent, on choice
bills. At the Bank the applications were upon the
limited scale lately witnessed.
At Hamburg the rate of discount has advanced
from 2 to 21 per cent.
The steamer Colombo, which is expected to arrive
at Southampton at the end of the week from Alex-
andria, with the heavy portion of the China and
Ceylon mails, has 51,6281. in specie from China, of
which 45,3281. consists of silver and the rest of gold.
The Mexican dollars ex the steamer La Plata were
disposed of yesterday at 4s. llid. per ounce, show-
ing a decline of compared with the price realised
for the previous remittance. The entire amount has
been taken for transmission to Holland, there being
little or no demand for China.

It is believed that the shipments of silver for Bom-
bay by the steamer Ripon on the 27th inst. will be
even below the limited amount taken out by the last
vessel.

News of the arrival of the Australian mail steamer
at Sues is expected to reach London at the end of
the month. The dates by this vessel will probably
extend to the 11th Feb. from Sydney, and to the
13th ides from Melbourne. She is expected to
bring a large amount of gold, and news of consider-
able shipments by sailing vessels.
Owing probably to the recent large remittances
of gold and silver to the Continent, coupled with the
diminution in the withdrawals of silver thence, the
exchanges yesterday afternoon were sensibly firmer.
More favourable quotations were established as regards
bills on Holland, Vienna, and Trieste, and short
paper on Paris. Drafts on Hamburg were in de-
mand. The current rates are shown below—viz. :
Amsterdam, three months, 11.171 to 4 ; do., shot,
11.14 to 16 ; Rottedam, three months, 11.174 to 4 ;
Ant three months. 26.30 to 6 ; Hamburg, minim
beam, thee. months, 13.64 to 61 ; Paris, three days eight,
26.74 to 16 ; ditto, three months, 26.36 to 40 ; Franilort-on-
ths-MaMs, three mouths, 1184 to 4 ; Petersburg, per
rouble, duns months, 344 to 364; Vienna, ed. do., three month!,
10.32 to 34 ; Tried., do., three months, 10.33 to 36
Madrid, three months, 484 to 49 ; Cadiz, three months, 49

1244 to 126; Lisbon, 90 days, 614 to I ; Oporto, 90 days,

The stock of specie in the New York banks, al-
ready extraordinarily large, is still rapidly increas-
ing, but the exchange on London has declined to a
point at which remittances of specie to this side are
suspended. The America, however, comes from
Boston.

The United States frigate Niagara has arrived at
Plymouth. This vessel is to take part in the laying
down of the Atlantic telegraphic cable; an event
which is expected to take place as early
in June as the necessary preparations will
admit of. H.M. ship Agamemnon is i already
in her position in the Reyham steam basin at Devon-
port; and the coiling of 50 miles of the cable on her
upper deck has thus far been accomplished. The
Niagara will be laid in dock nearly alongside of the
abandoned powder magazine at Keyham, the use of
the magazine having been granted to the Atlantic
Telegraph Company ever suioe last August, when
the accident to the cable occurred. The new issue
of capital authorised at the meeting of shareholders
on the 18th ult. has been taken up to a considerable
extent by the existing holders ; and we understand
that sufficient funds have been provided to pay for
the additional length of 300 miles of cable which the
directors in their report considered it desirable to
take to sea this year. This additional 300 miles will
make the total length to be taken out for this year's
operations 2,885 miles. It is hoped, however, that,
if the weather be favourable, a large proportion of
the provision for " slack" will be saved.
The decrease shown in the weekly traffic return
of the Great Western Railway of Canada is 2,0271.

raltar, Halifax, Hoag Kong, Jamiuca, Kingston

Tv ESDAT EVIUFINO.

The royal assent was given to the Indian Loan
Bill yesterday. As the authorities were extremely
urgent for the prompt passing of the bill through
both houses, upon the plea that the East India Com-
pany are absolutely running short of money, it is
inferred that the loan will be immediately issued.
Pending its announcement, business throughout the
Stock Exchange remains extremely languid. Firm-
ness, however, prevails, and the general tendency
seems favourable, owing to the superabundant
supply of money. The funds were to-day almost
stationary in price, at an advance of about 1-18 per
cent. upon the closing quotations of yesterday. The
government broker bought 14,0001. Console for the
sinking fund.
Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
exactly 97 for the Bth April, opened this morning at
97 to 1, which was also the closing quotation. For
money the last price was 97. The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols,
for money, 981, 97k, 97, 97j; ditto, for account
(Bth April), 97, 97#; India stock, for account, 222,
