MONEY MARZET.-THIS DAR

Two o'CLocK.

The funds showed a little flatness at one period of
the morning; but, upon the whole, have exhibited
a decided increase of business. Prices are

now quoted at the beet point of the morning, and
about per coat higher than they closed yesterday
Consols are marked as low as 911 for money.
and 911 for the 6th November, but are now quoted
911 to 4 for cash, and. 92/ to for the new account.
Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at de. to 10a.
prem.; Exchequer Bonds at 99; and India Bonds at
Bs. to lle. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. have ranged between 97
and 971, and the Guaranteed Four per Cents.
between 991 and 99/. ;Other foreign securities
are quiet. The sales include Brazilian Old Five
per Get. (Small Bonds), at 101 ex. div.; ditto, Four
and-a-Half per Cent., at 974 and 98; Chilian
Six per Cents., at 104; Russian Four.and-a•Half per
Cents. at 961; Sardinian Five per Cents., for ao.
count, 17th October, at 89; and Swedish Four per
Coate. at 86.

The report of the Minister of F ivanoe, just pub-
lished in Paris (and given in another column),
is evidently intended to give a check to the
the serious fall on the Bonne; but although Mtge-
don is called to the gratifying increase in the rovr
sae, and although the Minister regards the ewe
of public money in his hands as large, no list is,
thrown out tending to confirm the late rumours Mail
the payment of the future instalments on the int I
lean is to be postponed, or any other measure of
relief adopted. The only point upon which the
Minister affords any new information has reference
to the exportation of silver from France. From
the language in which he alludes to this
subject, we must infer that the Cabinet actually
entertains an idea of prohibiting under " severe
penalties " the exportation of that metal. Bo long
am silver commands • higher price In the other
European markets, prohibitions will probably prove
ineffectual as a bar to the Max ; and the public
estimate of the financial capacity of the men who
now rule the destinies of France will not be raised by
the discovery that, at a period of crisis like the pre-
sent, they are devoting their energies to the imposing
of shackles upon the current of commerce, instead of
addressing themselves to the checking of that spirit
of speculation to which the monetary difficulties of
the country are primarily due. The Finance
Minister seem, to overlook the important fact
that, in payment for the silver withdrawn from
Franca, gold is introduced in large quantities into the
country. In the event of the exportation of silver
being forbidden and of the prohibition being prac-
tically enforced, we do not see how the French re-
serves of the precious metals will derive any accession
from the interference of the government, for if silver
is not to be taken out of the country gold would not
be remitted thither to pay for it. The 'peculators in
Paris have for weeks put been looking anxiously

to the official jeninal for some encourage-
ment, and, •now that it has at length
spoken, the smallness of yesterday's rally on the
Bourse must be interpreted as signifying that, low
although the prices of most description of French
securities now are, the remarks of the Konitar have
excited a feeling of disappointment amongst parties
who were waiting to purchase. A serious check

upon speculative operations for higher prises is at the
same time imposed by the new severities jut
_ _ _

forged by the Bank of France, which refute to /end
more than 40 per cent. of their value upon the
Ranee, or more than 20 per cent. upon railway
emarititm and restrict. all such loans to a period of
one month.

The Great Western Railway Company have jut I
pat forward a notice offering 4i per sent. per an-
num %tenet for loans on debentures for three or five
years.
The directors of the National Diaoonnt Company
announce that the company is now fully registered
nudge the Joint Stock Companies Aet of 1856.
An extraordinary general meeting of the British
Land Company (limited) is called for the 22nd inst.
to nodes the directors' report on the purchase of
sundry estates, to authorise the borrowing of money,
and to determine on the registration of the company
under the Joint stock Companies Act of 1856.

TVIISDLT Evuixi.

The feeds sustained a fresh fall of about g per seat
this morning, upon a pressure of sales for the account
now *losing, the provration of the Paris Bourse yes-
terday afternoon tending to increase the gloom hue.
This fall led, however, to some large purchases of
Console for the November account, besides one of
80,0001. for to-murow, and a decided rally set in. At
the close of the recognised hours, prices were quoted
I per oent. higher than they left off yesterday; but
the appearance of the market was still un-
settled.
The most unfavourable feature, as
regards the stock market, is the high rats
of “ continuation" current upon Consols at the pend-
ing settlement. The rate has risen to-day to i to per
cent., and indicates that the outstanding speculation
foe higher prices was much more 'considerable than
was generally inhered. The investments of the
public, however, are steadily continued at the reduced
priers now quoted.
Is the discount market today there was an active
demand for money, and the enhanced rates lately
established are fully maintained. It results from a
mere deliberate diecuesioo of the measure adopted
rheay by the Bank of England that its propriety
llr: admitted in nearly all quarters. Some little
time suet be permitted to elapse before a reliable
The
of its probable effects OM be arrived at.
The fatelge exchanges are better, but fresh with-
drawals of gold from the Bank took place to day to
the extent of about 180,0051. oa continental wont.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 91 to / for
money and tomorrow, fell this morning to 901, and
thence rallied to 911 to 1, finally closing at 91i to 1.
For the new account of the 6th Nov. the closing
' quotation was 911 to 1. After the recognised hours
the market was a little flatter. The official busioses
report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 91. 911, 901, 91, OIL 911; ditto, for account,
Bth Oot., 901, 91, 901, 911, 911, wt. Three-and.a-
Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable is
1858, 99; ditto, 1859, 99, 981.
Exchequer Bills were again a little flatter today,
at 6s. to 9s. prem. Exchequer Bonds have receded
to 981.
It is symptomatic of the very unsettled state of the
Stock Exchange markets that Turkish Guaranteed
Four per Cents.--en undoubted government security,
guaranteed both by England and France, and re.
deemable at par—fell to-day as low as 981. The
closing quotation was 99j to t. Here is, cense•
quently, a British government stook offered at a
price which will yield a clear return of more than 4
per cent. per annum to the purehuer, whilst Consols
at 90 would yield less than 31 per rout. per annum.
Torkish Six per Cents. experienced to day very
severe fluctuations, ranging between 961 and 98. The
closing quotation was 971 to 1, being 1 to f per cent.
worse than yesterday. Peruvian Four and-a. Half
per Cents. fell 1 per cent., and Spanish Deferred Three
per Cents. 1 per cent. Other foreign securities show

no signs ora`rally.
The immediate result of the rise in the value of
money here is an improvement in the Continental
exchanges. With the exception of Frankfort, bills
on all plates were quoted this afternoon sensibly
higher. In numerous instances the quotations are
unusually wide, owing to the unsettled state of mo-
netary affairs on the Continent.
