In the field assigned for milch conceit large busmen has been
done, and best descriptions of beast,. have made high
figures. In the bone fair • good ihow yet remained
on view, and an active demand prevailed for Welsh
foresters and Iriali coltii. The breed of the latter has
been greatly improved of late years, and many very
promining and useful horses were selected at figures varytnz
from 18 to 30 guineas; cart homes, sound and young, wen.
readily sold. Welsh ponies ranged in price from if to 14
gnineas. There was, as usual, • good minter of the touting

MONEY MARKET.-7HIS DAY.

Two o'CLouic.

The funds to-day are steady at yesterday's prices,
with little business. The market is checked
by the continued flatness of the Paris
Bourse. The transactions in the other
departments of the Stock Exchange have been upon
a limited scale, but prices generally are steady.
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway stock has again
advanced. Canadian railway shares are heavy.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened
at 67fr. 90a, showing a fresh decline of 6c.
Console are officially marked 93i and 1 for
money, and 931 for the 11th of October. The present
quotations are 931 to for cash, and 9313 to
for the new account. The official business report
is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced, 931, 1,
; New Three per Cents., 931, ; ludic
Stock, 218, 216 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock,
1859, IX3 ; India Bonds, Ba., tw. dis. ; Exchequer
Bills, ls. prem., par.
. . .

. -
The foreign stock market is quiet, but steadi-
ness prevails, except as regards Mexican Bonds,
which remain flat. The rise in Buenos Ayres
Active Bonds continues. Transactions are re-
corded at 96. There is also a steady inquiry for
Venezuela Three per Cents. The Turkish Loan
of 1854 is quoted 73} to 74, and that of 1858,
574 to 58, ex div. Sales are recorded as follows :
Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 96 ;
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 9t, (exchange
23fr.) Chaim' Six per Cents., 1032 ; Mexican
Three per Cents., for amount, 214 ; New tirauada
Deferred, 5 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 484 ;
ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 40 ;
the Committee's Certificates, 51, ; Turkish
Six per Cents., 1834, for account, 73/, ; ditto
Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 57i, ex div. ;
Venezuela Three per Cents., for account, 24, 23i.
The Edinburgh has arrived from New York with
182,0001. in specie.

The commercial demand for money yesterday
was only moderate, both at the Bank and in Loin-
bard-street. Thu best bills were negotiable at 32
per cent.

The numerous bills which fell due on the 4th
(Tuesday) have been extremely well met, but a
failure of some importance was announced yesterday
afternoon, and in one of the branches of trade
which have latterly been regarded with caution.
The house referred to is that of Messrs. Smith,
Sinclair, and Co., linen factors and general
agents, of Pancras-lane. The bills drawn by them
have been accepted in the north, chiefly at Dundee.
The amount of the liabilities is believed to be about
150,0001. The circumstance is the more regretta-
ble at the present moment, because it is calculated
to revive the feeling of distrust lately shown in
several departments of business. Subjoined is the
circular issued. One of the causes assigned for the
stoppage—'the pressure in the money market"—
reads rather strangely :
10, Pancras-lane, London, EC., Sept. 5, 1860.
The extraordinary stagnation under which our trade has
suffered during the pest few months, coupled with the pres-
sure in the money market, has so embarrassed our opera-
tions, that we have been reluctantly compelled to suspend
payment. We have placed our books in the hands of Mr.
C. F. Kemp, accountant, 7, Gresham-street, with instruc-
tions to prepare a statement of our affairs, to submit to a
general meeting of the creditors, which will be convened at
the earliest porible period. Meanwhile solicitmg year in-
drigenoe, we are, !cc., SKIM SLICLAIR, AND CO.

The Vienna Bourse remains fiat. The exchange
on London rose on Tuesday from 129.11 to 130.25.
The following are the days appointed for the
shutting and re-opening of tho transfer books at
the Bank of England :

Transfer Books. Shut. Re-open.

3 per Cent. Reduced „ 7 ... „ 19
New 3 per Cents. Tuesday „ 11 ... Tuesday „23
Annuities„Aprd 188.5 Friday 7 ... Friday l9
The amount of gold bought by the Bank yester-
day was 32,0001., making a total of 380,0001. since
the date of the last return. The Adriatic, from
New York, has brought 40,0001. for England.
The demand for money on the Continent con-
tinues limited. The present quotations may be
given as follows :—Paris, 3 per cent. (bank rate,
3i) ; Vienna, 4 (bank, 5) ; Amsterdam, 3 (bank,
3) ; Berlin, 3i (bank, 4) ; Hamburg, 11 ; Frank-
fort, 2 (bank, 2) ; and Brussels, 21 per cent.
(bank, 3).
The accountant to the estate of Messrs. Pereira
and Grant, a small house in the wine trade, who
failed a day or two ago, sends WI the following :
