MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLocz.

The funds remain firm, and a further improve-
ment of per cent. has taken place. The
purchases have been partly to cover pre-
vious speculative sales. In the other
markets business is inactive, but general
firmness is observable. British railway stocks, in
two or three instances, aro again rather better ;
but South Eastern exhibits an unfavourable re-
action.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter§ opened at
68fr. 8&c. ex div., but receded to 68fr. 75c. being It
per dent. lower than yesterday.
_ _

Consols are officially marked 931 ex div. for
the account. The present quotation is 931 to
The official business report is as follows :—B►uk
Stock, 234+; Three per Cents. Reduced, 93, 921 ;
New Three per Cents., 93, 924, 93k, 924 ; Thirty
Years Annuities, expiring in April, 1886, 16 ;
India Four per Cent. Debentures, 1868, 901 ;
Exchequer Bills, 55., 45., 2e. dig.
Foreign stocks are steady. The transactions
have been rather limited. The Turkish loan of
1854 is quiet at 714 to 721, and that of 1858
at 574 to 581. Sales are recorded as follows :
Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1858,
864 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
98 (exchange 251 r.) ; Chilian Six per Cents.,
102 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates,
1001; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
for account, 96 ; Portuguese Three per
Cents., 1863, 474; ditto for account, ca ;
Spa-
nish Three per Cents., for account, 514 ; ditto New
Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 421, 1 ; ditto
Passive, 231 ; the Committee's Certificates, 61, 1 ;
Turkish Six per Cents., 1868, 574.
The steamer Kangaroo, for New York, has taken
82,0001. in specie.

There was a good demand for money yesterday at
41 to 5 per cent. for bills of a high class. The appli-
cations at the Bank were to a fair extent. The de-
mand at the close of the week will probably be
brisk, owing to the intervention of the holiday on
Monday and Tuesday.
The Roxburgh °ladle, from Melbourne, with
167,0001. in gold, has now been at sea seventy
days ; and the Great Britain, with 474,0001.,
61 days. The latter, being a steamer, may soon
arrive.

The Indus, which will sail to-morrow, will
take 208,4151. in specie, of which 53,5381. is gold
and the rest silver. Subjoined are the particu-
lars : For Alexandria, gold, 15,5001. ; Mauritius,
gold, 25,0001. ; Ceylon, gold, 2,0001. ; Madras,'
5,5,9961. ; Calcutta, silver, 90,2101., and gold,
421. ; Singapore, gold, 2,0001., and Elver,
4 0001. ; Hong Kong, silver, 32001. ; and for
Shangha, silver, 8,8671.
The Mexican dollars by the Tamar have been
sold at se. 2td. per ounce, being id. below the
price recently current.
It appears from the New York advices that the
rates of discount for the best bills still ranged as
high as from 12 to 18 per cent. per annum. The
transactions in bills on London were not large, the
market retaining an unsettled appearance, and the
tendency of the rates at the close was downwards.
The quotation was from 102 to 104 for
good bills. Some of the private advices
express an anticipation that the resnit of the
quarrel between the North and the South will be
the arrangement of a convention, in accordance
with the spirit of the President's Message, charged
to amend or authoritatively explain the constitu-
tion, in the sense of a compromise. Meanwhile
the continuance of the difficulty exercises a power-
ful effect upon business transactions in every
quarter.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally steady. The rate on Hamburg was rather
lower, and that on Frankfort higher. Subjoined is

Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.174 to 4 ; 3 days, 11.15

journment for a month was ordered in the ease of

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway

responding week of last year.
The report of the directors of the Namur and
Liege and Mona and Manage Railways comprises
chiefly an &Bunion to the burtheu imposed upon the
compel.), through the claims for compensation
arising out of the serious accident which
occurred on the 31st May, 1868. Fourteen actions
have been decided, and 25 have been arranged.
The amount adjudged against the company is
3,6501. Sixteen more actions are still pending,
upon which the company may be required to pay
to the additional extent of 4,250/. The directors
will appropriate to this purpose the whole of the
half-yearly rental receivable from the Belgian
government, as well as 2,0001. arising from sales of
stores and land. There will, therefore, be nothing
for the January dividend on the original shares,
but the directors believe that these resources will
enable them to satisfy all the claims referred to
without infringing upon any future dividend.

pany have issued an advertisement offering S per
