MONEY MAXIM-MB DAY.

Two otOwoc

The additional intelligens, from China has not
affected the fund?, which remain quoted about the
same as at 4 o'clock yesterday, with very little busi-1
nem. In the other departments of the Stook Ex-
change there is also an entire absence of animation,
but prioes generally are fairly supported. The set-
tlement in the share market has commenced this
morning, and attracts some attention.
Consols are quiet, at 961 to 1 for money and the
7th September. The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 971 to 1; the New Three
per Cents., at 971 to ; the Indian Four per Cent.
Debentures, of the first issue, at 981; the Scrip
of the second issue, at 98 to 981 ; Exchequer Bills,
March, at 31s. to 345. Fem. ; ditto, June, at 225.
to 25e. prem.

Turkish Six per Cents. are again rather flatter,
at 961 to f. This is the only feature of the
slightest interest in the foreign stock market,
scarcely any business having been done. The
scrip of the New Brazilian Loan is quoted to /
prem. Sales are recorded as follows :—Portuguese
Three per Cents., 1863, 461; Spanish Three per
Cents, 441; ditto New Deferred, Three per Cents.,
281; Turkish Six per Cents., 961, 951; ditto for
account (Sept. 16), 96, to 951; ditto Guaranteed
Four per Cents., 1041.
At Paris to-day (Saturday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened
at 70fr. for the account, exhibiting no alteration
compared with the latest price of yesterday.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday,
inclusive of 44,0001. in Russian coin just imported,
was 69,0001. ; making a total of 143,0001. since the
date of the return given below. Having regard to
the firmness of the exchanges, and to the expected
receipt of a large amount of specie from New York,
as well as of between 600,0001. and 700,0001. from
Australia, of which two-thirds is long overdue, and
the rest nearly due, it is believed that the importent
sum of a million starling, or thereabouts, will ° tea
speedily added to the stock in the Bank of England.
The high range of the Continental exchanges has a
most important bearing upon the money market,
sine, it ensures the retention here of nearly,lthe
whole of the gold imported. A similar state of
affairs has not been witnessed since the late crisis.
The demand for money in commercial channels
was rather more active yesterday, and only in very
exceptional cans could the best bills be discounted
below 21 per cent. As long, however, as this rate
prevails in the open market there is no inducement
to carry bills to the Bank, and, accordingly, the ap-
plications at that establishment yesterday presented
no increase.

The final instalment of 21 per oent. falls due on
the Brazilian lean of 1,628,5001. on Wednesday
next. To-day a mill of U. on the Extension B
shares of the East Indian Railway Company will
require 3711,0001.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
fully supported at the late advance. As regard. bill
on Amsterdam. Antwerp, Frankfort, St. Petersburg,
and short paper on Paris, even more favourable
quotation were in some eases current. The remark-
able fall in the Austrian exchange, however, has
made further decided progress. The quotations are
below

The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this
week a decrease of 1,1881.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Aug. 26, compared with the pre-
vious weekly return, shows the following results:

The private le braids, continue to decrease, and
the general deposits to increase. Through the gain
on each branch, the Bank are enabled to show as
addition of 272,2661. to the reserve of notes and coin.
The total under this head has now reached
an extraordinarily large amount. During the
week referred to, 270,0091. in newly im-
ported gold, is known to have been sent
into the Bank; and as the total increase in the
metallic stock is only 209,9081., it follows that the
Bank, on balance, must have parted with upwardsof
80,0001. in coin, which is absorbedin the provinces.
We understand that the temporary withdrawals of
coin for harvest wages and other purposes of a kin-
dred character have of late been extraordinarily
large. It is important to remember that the whole
of this money will flow back.
The Gatetts statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday last
gives the following totals, viz. :—lmports of gold,
368,4381. ; exports of gold, 154,8511. ; impacts of
silver, 3,9931. ' • exports of silver, 116,0711. The gold
movement is evidently favourable.

The funds to-day were flatter, owing to bond fide
sales, some of which are said to be connected with
the payment of the balf-yearly dividend dad this
day on the stock and other securities of the London
and North Western Railway Company. The decline
in Console, however, did not exceed per coal. In
the other departments of the Stock Keelung" bui-
-1
ness remains stagnant. In the share markets atten-
tion wee directed to the fortnightly settlement
which will commence to-morrow. _
