MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Oars d'Osuaz.

The disquieting aspect of the Luxemburg affair,
the prospect of a rupture of our relations with
Spain, and a fear that a defeat of the government
on the reform question may lead to a dissolution
of parliament and its concomitant check to trade,
caused the stuck markets to open this morning with a
very heavy [appearance, and an important and
almost general fall has since occurred in prices.
The amount of business is considerable, and
includes many sales on Continental account. It
would be still larger but) for an indisposition on
the part of some of the dealers to enter
into fresh operations. Consols as well as the
New Three per Cents., and the Throe per Cents.
Reduced have declined about It per cent. F. reign
stocks have been forced fur sale, and the fall in
many of them is severe. For instance, Italian
Bonds of 1861 have 'given way to the extent of
nearly 4 per cent. The reduction in British rail-
ways ranges from 1 to 2 per cent. Attention is .
directed to preparations for the monthly settle-
ment in Consols on Wednesday.

the dividends to-morrow, and there is an in-
