MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

:T

Two o'CLoor.

The funds today are dull, and the improvement of
1-16 per cent. which occurred yesterday in Consols,
has been lost. The share markets, in which this is
" settling day," are likewise quiet, and prices show
rather a drooping tendency. Canadian Railway
shares have fallen.

To-morrow, being the Ist of November, the
Stock Exchange will be closed, by order of the
Committee.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates were quoted
69fr. 15c., showing a fresh improvement of per
cent.

Compels are officially marked 94 and
93 for money, and 93 for the account.
The present quotation is to 93 both
for money and the Bth of November.
The official business report is as follows :—Bank
Stock, 232 ; Three per Gents. Reduced, 901,
; New Three per Cents., 911, ; Thirty
Years' Annuities, expiring in April, 1886, 10 3-16 ;
India Stock, for account, 222; Five per
Cent. stook, 1859, 103; ditto Four per
Cent. Debentures, 1858, 94 ; ditto Bonds,
3s. dia. ; Five per Cent. " enlaced" rupee paper,
96, f ; Exchequer Bills, 25., ls. dia.
The Turkish Loan of 1868 is in better demand,
, and the price has advanced to 651 to 66. The Loan
lof 1854 is steady, at 70} to t. Other foreign stocks
exhibit no alteration. dales are recorded as
follows :—Mexican Three per Cents., 221 ; Peru-
vian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 941 ; Portuguese
Three per Cents., 1853, 441 ; Spanish Three per
Cents., 44, 4 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 701 ;
ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 54
The discount market yesterday was well supplied
with money. The best short bills were taken
somewhat below the Bank minimum, but for long
Iperiods high rates continue to be demanded. The
'activity observable amongst the Greek and other
merchants in the foreign oorn trade contributes
materially to keep up the commercial demand for
money. The bills maturing on the 4th November
are now being prepared for. At the Bank of Eng-
land to-day the applications were very moderate.
In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans
on Consols was as low as 1.1 to 2 per cent.
About 16,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank
yesterday for exportation.
The New York advice. mention that the Vander-
bilt had left for Southampton with nearly 180,0001
in specie, but nearly the whole is believed to be on
French account.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
rather fiat in tendency, but there was little altera-
tion in the rates. Subjoined is our usual lint :

The accounts from Paris report an increased de-
mand for money. The drain upon the Bank of
France is probably affecting the market generally.
At a numerously attended meeting of the cre-
ditors of Messrs. Robert Davies and Co., bankers,
of Shoreditch, held on Monday, it was resolved to
hold a public meeting on Thursday next, "for the
purpose of taking such steps as may be considered
advisable to protect their interests.
"
In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday, Mama R.
C. Davies and J. N. Troughton, the partners in the
failed Shoreditch Bank, surrendered to the adju-
dication and obtained protection from arrest. The
sitting for the choice of assignees is fixed for the
12th November.

gage Loan of 1852, which will be paid off at par on
the lot Dec.

The fourth ordinary general meeting, of the Halts-
dorf Mills Company (Ceylon) was held yesterday.
The profit upon the revenue account to the 30th of
June last is 3,8231., notwithstanding the depressed
state of tLe oil market during the year. This
amount, however, is not at present available for
dividend, in consequence, as the directors state,
"of the expenditure, by the managing director in
Ceylon, of a large sum in purchases for the use of
I the mills, and the absence of remittances expected
from the agents in that island. Representations
have been made to them on this subject, and it is
hoped that shipments or remittances will soon be
receivel /here to meet the home engagements.
Under these circumstances, it will be proposed at
the meeting to adjourn to a day in December, to
Ibe hereafter duly notified, by which time the di-
rectors expect that arnuigements will be made for
, the payment of the dividend which the accounts
show has been actually earned." The repo* and
accounts were adopted, and the meeting was ad-
journed till the 12th of Dec.
