MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Om o'Oiooz.

The Stock Exchange presents but few signs of
animation, and there is only a thin attendance,
the attractions of Wimbledon and those of the
Naval Review at Spithead having drawn away a
considerable number of members. The inactivity
of business is further increased by an unwillingness
to effect engagements until the course of the Bank
directors is known with regard to the rate of dis-
count, as their movements may probably be fol-
lowed by corresponding movements at the principal
financial centres on the Continent. Under these
circumstances the funds are stationary, yet mode-
rately firm ; but railways are weaker, Midlands
and Brightens being a shade lower than at the
final close yesterday. Foreign stocks are a little
stronger, but they present no other feature.
The expectation is almost general that the Bahl(
directors will to-morrow lower the rate of discos nt
to 2 per cent. ; and this anticipation has further
lessened the inquiry, which was previously unim-
portant. There is also a partial expectation that if
the Bank directors reduce te-morrow, the Bank of
11 France will immediately follow the example. On
the Stock Exchange money is quite out of demand,
and the terms for the best commercial bills in
Lombard-street do not exceed per cant.,
though the nominal quotation remains at 2 per
cent.

Consols are steady at 541 to 1 for money, and
941 to 95 for account. Reduced and Nov Three
per Cents., 94 to I.

India Five per 6enta. are quoted at 111 to 1,.

The railway market is a little weaker, especially
for Midland and Brighton stocks, as well as
for Great Northern A's ; blit there is no pres-
sure of sales. The following are the quotations :
Metropolitan Stock, 122 to ; Great, Western,
421 to 2 ; London and North Western, 1122
to 2 ; Midland, 115 to ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 128 to ; Caledonian, 110 to 111 ; South
Eastern, 642 to .11 ; Great Eastern, 264 to it ;
Great Northern, 113 to 114 ; ditto A, to
; London, Chatham, and Dover, 182 to 2 ;
North British, 30 to 31. Loudon and Brighton
stock is quoted at 50 to
_ . . .

Foreign stocks are a little more firmly held, but
for the moat part quotations remain the same as at
the close of yesterday's business. Turkish Bonds
of 1862 have advanced 4, being now quoted at 57
to 4. Those of 1865 remain at 314 to / ; Greek,
144 to I ; Spanish Passives, 22 to ; Certifi-
cates, 154 to 164 ; Italian (1861), 494 to ;
Mexican, 16 to 4.

American securities continue dull. The 5-20
Bonds are quoted at 721 to 1. Erie Railroad,
46 to 47 ; Illinois Central steady, at 761 to 77i,
ex div. ; Anglo-American Telegraph, 181 to 1, being
advance ; Atlantic Telegraph S per cent. Prefer-
ence, 4g to A ; and Hudson's Bay, 15 to 1, showing
an improvement of /.
. .

The shares of the financial companies are steady.
International Financial are quoted 2 to 11 die. ;
London Financial, 22 to 20 die. ; General Credit,
n to 1I ; and Credit Foncier, 51 to 5, die.
About 9,000/. in gold was yesterday bought by
the Bank.

The specie arrivals yesterday comprised a total of
262,000 f., including 22,200/. by the New York, and
150,1521, by the City of Baltimore, both from the
United States, and 89,7001. by the Wellesley, from
Melbourne.

The steiuner Rhone, which leaves to-day for
the West Ladies, takes only 2001. in specie (silver)•

On Change yesterday afternoon bills on the con-
tinent were in scanty supply, in consequence of
which the rates on Paris were rather lower. The
Vienna exchange was slightly higher. The usual
list is subjoined :

Amsterdam, 3 months. 11.194 to 11.191; ditto, sbort,
11.18 to 11.19 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.194 to 11.191 ;

At the general meeting of shareholders of the
Imperial Bank (Limited), held yesterday, the
directors' report stated the unappropriated balance
at 18,108/.,after paying current expenses, providing
for bad and doubtful debts, &c. The directors
accordingly proposed to apply 13,5001. to payment
of a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6 per
cent. per annum, free of income-tax, and to carry
forward 4,6081. ss. 3d. to credit of profit and loss
new account. In a concluding paragraph of the
report, however, the directors say that they " re-
gret to report a loss was sustained by the bank on
the last day of the half-year of 19,000/., which oc-
curred through over-payment of an account, and
though it has so recently occurred, the directors
have thought it desirable to deal with it at once,
and they therefore have placed the amount to the
debit of the reserve fund." This loss naturally
excited a great deal of discussion at the meeting,
more especially as it appears from the explanations
given that it has arisen from gross carelessness on
the part of some of the bank's clerks. The report
was ultimately adopted.
At an extraordinary meeting of the Submarine
Telegraph Company, held yesterday, resolutions
were passed authorising the laying down of a new
line of telegraphic communication between England
and Belgium, and for this purpose increasing the
capital by the issue of 35,0001. 7 per cent. pre-
ference stock, in addition to the present capital of
26.5,0001.
The half-yearly meeting of the Groat Eastern
Railway Company is called for the 15th of August.

curred in the direction through the resignation of

Anglian proprietors is also called for the 14th of
August, to elect a director.
A special general meeting of proprietors of tho
Union Bank of London is called for the 30th
August, to elect a director in the room of Mr. John
Scott, deceased. Mr. G. S. Nottage has announced
himself as a candidate, and being a practical man,
of independent character, has already received a
great deal of support.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 2,107/. over last year ; and
the Metropolitan an increase of 417/.
The half-yearly meeting of the sharel-olders of
the Consolidated Bank (Limited) is convened for

A meeting of the shareholders of the British and

MINE&-(TI118 DAY.)

Oii o'Ciocz.

The mining share market continues very languid
in nearly all descriptions, and prices have not
materially varied from the final quotations of yes-,
terday. One feature in foreign shares is A slight:
demand for United Mexican upon the more
favourable character of the commissioner's dis- _
.patches, the date of which is broughtdowu to J; me 5.
British mines for the most part are steadily held, but
the following quotations are in some cases merely
nominal, owing to the inactivity of business :
Prince of Wales, 3,1, to 31. ; Prosper United, 201 to
; Frank Mills, 205.t0 255. ; Clifford, 7$ to
North Treskerby, Ws. to 225. ; West Cluvertos,
Gtr, to 675.; Great Retallack, 44 to 5 ; East Rose.,
warne 6s. to Bs. ; North Crotty, 34 to I.
In foreign shares United Mexican are quoted at,
I; to 2i, and they are firm. Don Pedro remain'
at 3 to a prem. ; Anglo-Brazilian, ito prem.
Roma Grande, 9s. tolls. ; Chontales,9 to 2 prem.;
Pestarena, 1. to # prem. ; Port Phillip, 1 to
