MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CiooK.

- - --- ---
The funds remain perfectly stationary in price,
and very little business is going forward. Until the
Indian Loan is announced, little movement is
looked for. The other departments of the
Stock Enchange are also very quiet, but fairly sup-
ported. English railway stocks are again somewhat
firmer.

Consols are quoted the same as they closed on
Saturday, viz., at 96! to I for money, and 961 to
97 for the Bth April. India Stock, though shut, has
been dealt in at 220 ; Exchequer Bills at 365. to
39e. prem. ; Exchequer Bonds (falling payable in
May next);at 991; ditto, in May, 1869, at 1001 to
1001; and India Bonds, at 28s. to 295. prem.

furkiah Six per Cents. are dull, at 1011 to 1.
Peruvian Bonds continue to meet with some inquiry.
Other foreign stocks are quiet, but steady. Sales are
are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. 101 ; Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents. 66
(exch. 128.) ditto Four per Cent. Carts., 1001; Mexi-
can Three per Cents., for account, 191 to 20. Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for account, 811 to 811,
ex div. ; ditto Three per Cents., for account,
661 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001,
Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 911; Spanish
Three per Cents., for account, 441; Turkish Six
per Cents., for account (March 29), 1011; ditto
Guaranteed Foar per Cents., for account, 104.
At Paris to-day (Monday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram,:the Three per Cent. Recites opened
at 69.76 for the account, showing a fresh improvement
of nearly 1 per cent., compared with the closing
quotation of Saturday. The Bourse is described as
" very firm and animated."

The check to the upward tendency of prices
rests almost exclusively with considerations connected
with the internal and external policy of the French
government ; but the maintenance of amicable rela-
tions between England and France is of such vital
importance to the interests of both nations that there
is a. disposition in most quarters to soout the ides of
a serious and permanent disagreement. The Paris
Bourse continues to be closely watched, and its in-
creased firmness contributes materially to a like
effect here.

The amount of gold sent into the Bank on Saturday
was 28,0001. In addition, a further parcel of
80,000 sovereigns was returned from Ireland. The
total known to have been sent in since the date of
the last Bank return is 350,0001.
The half-yearly dividends fall due on the Danish
Three per Cents., on the 31st instant; on Brazilian
Five per Cents., Peruvian Three per Cents., and
Dutch Four per Cents, on the let of April ; and on
Turkish Six per Cents., on the 10th of April.
There is an unpreseion that some of the insurance
offices, and perhaps some of the banks, may take up
a considerable portion of the coming Indian loan.

The import; of the precious metals last week
were extraordinarily large. Our lift includes
272,3001. by the Blackwell, and 192,8001. be
Bent, both from Melbourne; 294,2501. by the Tyne,
from the Brazils; 192,3791. in Australian gol ,by
the Teviot, from Alexandria ; 18,8801. by the Africa,
and 1,4001. by the City of Washington, both from
New York ; 4,7281. by the Ripon, from Alexandria ;
242,5001. by the La Plata, from the West Indies, &c.;
2,8701. by the Alhambra, from the Peninsula ; 1 box
of specie by the Sarah, from Bahia; 2 boxes of
sovereigns by the antra, from Lisbon; and 8 calm
and 16 boxes of silver coin by the Vesta, from
Oporto.
'The total value of these supplies is not less than
1,225,0001 of which 857,0001. consists of Australian
gold. The imports of silver from the Continent are
known, in addition, to have exceeded 100,0001.
The custom-house weekly statement of the ex-
ports of the precious metals from the pat of London
includes 48,240 ors. of gold, despatched entirely to
Boulogne ; and 378,180 ors. of silver, representing a
total value of nearly 180,0001. The particulars are
as follows, vie :—Gold coin: to Boulogne, 29,540 ozs.
Gold bars: to Boulogne, 18,700 ozs. Silver coin :
to Boulogne, 8,200 on. ; to Rotterdam, 221,800 ozs. ;
to Belgium, 30,000 ozs. ; to Hamburg, 119,780 ozs.
Silver ban : to Boulogne, 400 on. A supplement to
the official statement of exports for last week men-
tions also 5,000 ozs. of gold coin and 30,000 ore. of
silver coin transmitted entirely to the Mauritius.
The other shipments have comprised 105,8071.,
nearly all in silver, by the Pere, for Alexandria and
the Rad; 3,0101. by the Tagus, for the Peninsula;
8,5801., by the Orinoco, for the West Indies ; and
15,0001. in silver, by the Dolphin, for Antwerp.
The steamer Countess of Lonsdale also sailed from
the Thames on Saturday for Hamburg, with 53,5001.
in silver.

The total ascertained shipments of the week, as
officially reported, are thus raised to 363,0001., of
which fully onehalf consisted of silver. In addition
large quantities of newly imported gold have been
despatched privately to the Continent. The imports
of the latter metal, however, have been so enormous
as to oonaiderably exceed the immediate continental
demand. Hence the large increase in the stock of
bullion in the Bank. The extensive remittances of
silver made to the Continent this week have more
than counterbalanced the amount drawn thence.
These circumstances are calculated to influence the

continental exchanges in a favourable sense.
The advioes from some of the continental markets,
including Hamburg and Paris, report more firmness
in the exchanges on London. At Paris on Fri-
day the rate on London was quoted 26.71 to
10 for short, and 24.871 for three months' bills; at
Amsterdam, 11.70 for short; at Hamburg, 13.3/ for
short, and 13.21 for three months ; and at Vienna,
10.17.

The following statement exhibits the gross traffic
receipts of a number of the leading railways since
the commencement of the current half-year, com-

.
pared with those for the corresponding six months
et 1887. In every case there is a decline, except in
the Caledonian, Great Western, Midland, and Great
Northern :

London and North Wafers £664,185
London and South Wanton 129,643
Groat Waters 268,661
Midland 322,893
South Eastern 98,664
