MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DA Z)

Oil &Mom.
The 'here markets sve firm to-day, and prices
are again better in several instances. Fresh busi-
ness, however, is checked by the intervention of
the fortnightly settlement, which will be concluded
to-morrow. There is little inquiry for the funds,
which are unchanged, but some of the British
railway stocks have experienced a fresh advance
upon additional purchases by the recent " bear "
speculators. Metropolitan stock is in chief demand,
and has improved nearly 1 per cent. In the foreign
department, the principal feature is a rise of per
cent. in Italian of 1861, in consequence of the more

favourable tenor of the advices with reference to
the financial position of the government. Banking
and financial shares are still neglected.

The tendency of the discount market is still
towards lower rates, owing to the superabundance
of money and the small supply of bills offering.
Good paper is freely taken at 4 per cent., and in
exceptional cases at 31. The impression that the
Bank minimum will be reduced from 44 to 4 per
cent. this or next week has consequently become
stronger, especially as the applications at that esta-
blishment are upon a very moderate scale. In
the Stock Exchange loans are offered at 2 per cent.

Consols are quoted 891 to a for money, and
891 to f for the account (Nov. 8).
Italian bonds of 1861 are in strong request, and
have advanced a per cent. Turkish of 1865 have
also improved a, and Spanish Certificates 1. On
the other hand, Mexican have declined /. Turkish
Bonds of 1862 are quoted 65 to 56 ; ditto, 1865,
291 to ; Greek, 131 to 14/ ; Spanish Passive,
2111 to 3 ; ditto Certificates, 14 to 1 ; Italian of
1861, 643 to 55}; and Mexican, 15} to 3.
United States 5-20 Bonds have receded a per
cant., viz., to 70} to ; but Erie and Illinois Central
Railway shares are unaltered, at 501 to 511, and
781 to 791, respectively.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted
15/ to 16 ; and Atlantic Telegraph, 5 to 1, show-
ing no movement in either case.
The Tasmanian, from the West Indies, has

brought 139,5001. in specie.
International Financial shares are quoted 1i
to 13 dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 1511 dia. ;
General Credit, 21 to 2a die. ; Credit Fonder,
4i to 41 dis. ; National Discount, 8; to 9 prem. ;
land Hudson's Bay, 161 to 17.

The influx of gold to the Bank continues limited,
in the absence of supplies in the market. The
amount sent in on Saturday was only 6,000/.
The Java, front New York, has brought 18,5001.
in specie.
The following notice, dated the sth inst., has
been issued to the holders
of securities of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company :
I sin directed by the board to inform you that in con-
sequence of all the receipts of the company being now held
by the receivers ardor the Court of Chancery, subject to
the order of that court, they regret to say the usual divi-
dend payable on the 15th October cannot now be paid, but
must await the order of the court, before which the matter
will be brought in the course of next month.
A further extension is about to be given to the
operations of that exceedingly useful under-
I taking the Improved Industrial Dwellings Com-
pany (Limited). The chairman of this com-
pany is Mr. Alderman Waterlow, whose la-
bours for the improvement of the dwellings
of the working classes of this metropolis are
well know a, and all the directors are highly
respectable. The project was originated in 1863,
and through the investment up to the present time
of about 40,0001. in the erection of five blocks of
dwellings, 280 families have been accommodated,
comprising between 1,400 and 1,500 persons. It
is not too much to say that the result is
a great boon to the artisan class. It must
not be imagined, however, that this is an
eleemosynary society, for it is both self-supporting
and remunerative. During the past three half-
years dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum were paid upon the subscribed capital of
the company, and a sum equal to 25 per cent. of
the net profit was carried to a reserve fund.
Moreover, the directors state that from their expe-
rience of the investment, they believe that there is
a fair prospect of a permanent annual profit of at
least 6 per cent., after putting by liberal allowances
for contingencies. The original capital is 50,0001.,
of which 40,8001. is already subscribed, in 100/.
shares, and applications are now invited for a pro-
posed further issue of 200,000/. in 25/. shares,
making the total capital 250,0001. The directors
have already secured the option of leasing and pur-
chasing two sites near the Gray's-inn-road and at
Westminster, which will enable them toafford accom-
modation to about 500 families at an outlay of '
100,000/.
The Great Luxembourg Company hare notified
that the dividend of 7fr. 50c., or Gs. sterling, per
share (less income-tax), for the half year ending the
30th June last, declared at the general meeting
held at Brussels on the 11th inst., will be paid on
the 19th.
A general meeting of the Smyrna and Cassaba
Railway Company (Limited) is called for the
29th instant.
Owing to the extent to which merely speculative
gales have lately been pressed in the railway market,
the preparations on Saturday for to-morrows set-
tlement showed a diminished supply of stuck, lead-
ing to a decline in the rates of " continuation " on
Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and North
Western, and Midland stocks. As regards other
stocks the rates were moderate. Erie Railway
shares proved scarce, and at the close a " hack-
wardation " of ss. a share was given for the loan of
them. At the last there was likewise a scarcity of
United States 5.20 Bonds. The following shows
the opening and closing rates on a number of the
principal stocks :

were paid to effect fresh insurances upon the ship
General Grant, which has now been at sea 162 days
from Melbourne, with 10,5001. in gold. In the

the underwriters will be settled.
The subjoined report on the bullion market is
from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins :
Waco oar last there has been no alteration in the prices
of either bar silver or Mexican dollars, which remain
respectively at ss. 14. per canoe etandard and 4s. 11 id.
per oases. Ne actual tram/Akins have as yet taken

place for shipment to the Fort, though the probability al
such shortly occurring appeals daily to increase, the maim
market remaining extremely Inn, and the latest telegrams
from Bombay reporting an advance in the exchange. The
next allotment of Indian Council Bilis is looked for with
coniderable interest, as the actual need for Indian rabb-
i tennis call then become more apparent. Par gelds* have
no export demand, and all arrivals are oonsequently taken,
to the Bank of England.
