demand, and has risen to 931 to I. Ber-

MONEY MARKB7-2711.9 DAY.

Two o'CLooz.

The funds opened with steadiness this morning,
owing to the Parliamentary explanations
last night, but influential sales succeeded, and
a fall of per cent. took place. The market
is now somewhat firmer again, and the
reduction, compared with the closing quotations of
yesterday, does not exceed i per cent. The govern-
ment brokers have made another small investment.
The share markets are dull, the settlement
occupying the attention of the dealers. The rates
of " continuation " in this department are very
sit moderate.

Consols for the 3rd of June opened at 974 to Z,
fell to 974 to I, and are now quoted 971 to 4. For
money the present quotation is 974 to f. The
Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in
at 95; to 964 ; the New Three per Cents., at 964
to NI ; Bank Stock at 2214 to 223 ; India Stock
at 2264 ; Exchequer Bills, both March and June, at
40s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bonds, 1869, at 101
to 1014.

The New Indian Loan Debentures have been
dealt in at 1001 to 1. The Scrip remains quoted
1001 to 1.

Turkish Six per Cents. remain heavy, and have
fallen to 97 to 4. Venezuela Active Bonds are also
weaker, being offered at 37. Other foreign stocks
are dull, and in some cases sellers predominate.
Sales are recorded as follows:—Buenos Ayres De-
ferred Three per Cents., 18 ; Chiliaa Six per Cents.,
103; to 103*; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates,
100 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 864;
ditto Three per Cents., 814, 82, 814 ; Turkish Six
per Cents., 974, 974 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per
Cents., 104 ; Venezuela Four-and-Three-Quarter
per Cents., 364, 37.
At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented,
opened at 89fr. 75c. for the account, showing a
decline of sc. compared with the closing price of
yesterday.
The arrival of about 300,0001. in specie, princi-
pally gold, is announced to-day. The steamer
Teviot, from Alexandria, has brought 207,0001. in
Australian gold ; the Avon, from the Brazils, about
90,0001. in specie ; and the Istanboul (with refer-
ence to the safety of which some fears were enter-
tained), 4,8001.
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank yes-
terday for exportation was 88,0001. The continental
exchanges now stand at a point at which a steady
flow of gold from this aide may be looked for, but
there is ground to believe that the foreign demand
will ere long be fully satisfied from the incoming
supplies.
The Coleroon, from Melbourne, has now been 101
days at sea, with 79,7001. in gold; the Roxburgh
Castle, 94 days, with 201,0001.; the Morning Star,
92 days, with 19,1001. ; the Sydenham, 92 days,
with 106,7001. ; the Swiftsure, 76 days, with
320,2001. ; the Medway, 71 days, with 38,4001.; the
Indemnity, 87 days, with 44,6001.; awl the Red
Jacket, 63 days, with 160,9001.
Within the last two days about 2e,0001. in silver
has arrived in the Thames from the Continent.
The foreign exchanges yesterday experienced
little alteration, but there was a fair demand for
bills on most places, and the tendency was not fa-
vourable to this country. The rates for bills on
Hamburg and Frankfort were a trifle lower. The
current quotations are shown below, viz. :
Amsterdam, three months, 11.17 to 4 ; do., ;sheet,
11.144 se 16; Rotterdam, three: month*. 11.17 to 3,
Ant three months, 26.274 to 324 ; Hamburg, aisrio

The shares of the Pernambuco Railway Company
experienced a further decline yesterday, owing to
the continuance of the controversy between the di-
rectors and Mr. E. de Mornay. It is to be hoped
that the forthcoming report of the Committee of Con-
sultation will put a stop to this paper warfare, which
seems far too much influenced by mere personal
motives to accord with the real interest; of the share-
holders.

A 'Pedal meeting of the Bast Beat Railway
Company is called for the 25th inst., to consider the
bill for enabling the company to extetid their rail-
way from Strood to join the Mid-lent Railway
(Bromley to St. Mary s-Cray); also to consider the
bill for the construction of a station near Victoria-
street, Pimlico, and of a railway to connect it with
the West London and Crystal Palace Railway at
Battersea.

A special general meeting of the New Brunswick
and Railway and Land Company is called
for the 18th inst., "to consider the advisability of
modifying the designation of the land shares of the
company by defining the relative interest of each
such share in the lands of the company by a money
value, instead of by statute acres."

The annual general court of proprietors of the
New Zealand Company is called for the 27th inst.
The steamer Euzine left Malta on Monday for Mar-
seilles, with the light portion of the homeward Cal-
cutta and China mails. The Indus, with the heavy
portion of these mails, also sailed from Malta on the
same day for Southampton. The Sultan, with the Lon-
don mail for Bombay of the 28th ult., arrived at Malta
on the sth inst., and the Panther, from Marseilles,
on the 7th. Both vessels sailed again for Alex-
andria.

Tv !ENDA T Evintnia.

The funds to-day were almost solely influenced by
varying rumours respecting the position of the Mi-
nistry. In the morning the speculators were very
desponding, and Consols fell per cent., the appre-
hension of a dissolution of parliament, and of a pro-
longed period of political disquietude, being the
ostensible cause. In the afternoon a more cheerful
feeling was displayed, hopes being expressed that
the difficulties of the present political situation will
be found susceptible of solution without the adop-
tion of so extreme a measure as a &solution. The
funds finally closed the same as at 4 o'clock yester-
day. Whilst recording the fluctuations of opinion in
that very impressible body, the members of the Stook
Exchange, we ought also to mention that increasing
disgust is manifested in all impartial circles at the
eager faction-fight which is now going on upon a
subject which of all others requires to bu ap-
proached in a calm and dispassionate spirit.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange
depression prevailed, especially in the morning.
English railway shares were apparently prejudiced
by the approach of the settlement, which will com-
mence to-morrow. Recent settlements, however,
have indicated r►ther a scanty than an abundant
supply of floating stock. Indian railway shares
have again receded, the cause assigned being the
numerous new creations. The East Indian Railway
Company are about to issue another two millions for
the inbbulpore Extension line.
