MONEY MARIZI-THIS DAL

Two olOtool.

The funds opened with more firmness this morn-
ing, but have since resumed a dull appearance,
owing to a large sale of New Three per Cents., coupled
with the receipt of somewhat lower prices from the
Paris Bourse. Prices are now quoted e per cent.
lower than at four o'clock yesterday. In the other
departments of the Stock Exchange quietude pre-
vails.

At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69.10 for the account, but soon afterwards
receded to 69, showing a further decline of per
cent. compared with the latest price of yesterday.
Consols have been quoted u good u 961,

" buyers," for money and the Bth February,
and have since relapsed to 96, " sellers," the
present quotation. The Three per Cents. Reiland
have been dealt in at 90} to 4 ; the New Three
per Cents. at 961t0 ; Bank Stock at 2261; Indian
Stock at 224 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures,
of the first inns, at 991 ; Indian Bonds at Ws.
to 225. prem. ; the March Exchequer Bills,
at 375. prem. ; ditto June, at 37a. to 40e. prem. ;
and Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in May next,
at 104 to I.

Turirish stocks are steady. The Six per Cents.
of 1864 ere quoted 911 to 1„ and the New Loan 41 to
41 dia. Portuguese Bonds are in demand. Spanish
and Russian likewise show firmness. Bales are
recorded as follows :—Brazilien Four-and-se
Half per Cents., 1868, 94/, 941, 941; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 1011 (ex.,
1294 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, for ee-
-1 count 471; Russian Four-and-Half per Cents., 1001,

Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 461;
Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, for account, 911;
ditto Six per Cents., 1868 (scrip of the second
series), for account, 41 dis. ; ditto Guaranteed Four
per Cents., for account, 104 ; Venezuela Five per
Cents., for account, 44, 431.

A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Metcalfe and
Co., distillers, of West Ham, was held to-day. The
previous meeting was adjourned with a
view to some arragement being made with the
loan creditors. It now appears that upon the
matter being brought before these gentle-
men they agreed to defer their claims for five
years upon condition, however, that some
arrangement should be made with the trade creditors.
The latter accordingly agreed upon certain terms,
which were consented to by Mr. More. They are es
follows :-54. in the pound to be paid at once, ss. in
March, as. in June, and ss. in Deo. In addition, Mr.
Mure offered to pay 5 per cent. on the instalments.
A abort discussion having taken place, in the course
of which sympathy was expressed for the firm,
the proposition wee unanimously agreed to. In the
meantime the business of the firm will, of course,
be carried on as usuaL
The fluctuations are now almost solely in
response to the movement of the Paris Bonus.
Considering the connexion between the Court and
the Bourse, the French funds are watched as an un-
erring index of the course of politic'. The prospec
that, during a considerable time to ease, the markets
here will be driven up and down, and legitimate
business checked, at the will of the well-informed
jobbers on the other side of the Channel, is not viewed
with peculiar satisfaction.
In the discount market yesterday the demand was
moderate, but little business is done below the Bank
minimum. At the Bank, the applications were upon

the somewhat limited scale lately noticed.
The West India steamer Magdalena has brought
130,400!. in specie, of which 86,9001. is gold and
44,6001. silver.
In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday a dividend
meeting took place in the matter of Mesas. Byers,
Walker, and Co., who failed in 1868. Up to the last
meeting the amount of debts proved was 131,190!.,
upon which a dividend of Is. 2d. in the pound has
already been paid. As further proofs to a large
amount were admitted this day, the whole of the
funds in band will be required for the payment of
that dividend upon them.
We understand that the forthcoming dividend of
the Midland Railway Company will be at the rate

of 61 to 61 per cent.-per tannin.
Daring the last few days speculative attention in
the Stock Exchange has been principally directed to
Lombardo-Venetian Railway shun, the oscillations
in which are violent and incessant. Purchases in
the London market, spinet sales et Paris, or vice
versa, are carried on upon a large scale. The supply
of the old shares in the London market appears to be
limited, as they are comparatively well held ; bat
the new issue, being as yet only partially absorbed I
by bocci 'fide holders, presents a great field
for speculation. Mere selling and buying does
not satisfy the mania for gambling, and as
"optional" transactions io the new
shares to a large amount have already taken place.
The terms are 10e. per share for the " pat " of the
new shares up to the special settlement, which is
expected to take place two or three weeks hence, or
10s. per share for the " call," or 11. per share for
both " put and call." It may be requisite to explain
that the " put" means the option of selling the
skates at a price nom fired : the " call " means the
option of buying them; and the " put and call "
signifies both these options combined. In face of the
gambling which is going on, embracing half-a-doren
different markets, it us hoped, but scarcely believed,
that the approaching settlement in the new shares
will be effected without embarrassment.

—.—
The French financial journals state that the rail-
way companies, commencing from the Ist of July
next, will issue obligations to the amount of 340
millions of trans (13,600,0001.) for railway works
during the present year. Until the date mentioned,
the Bank of France will make the necessary ad-
vances. These demands constitute a heavy and per-
manent drain upon the market, and u soon es the
issues of new bonds recommence, the value of the

existing issues can scarcely fail to be affected. In
the event of war, great embarrassment would pro.

bably be experienced.

With reference to the market for American rail-
way securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as
follows :
We have to note • very inactive market for Aromicen se-
cantles dazing the past week, though (potations have not,
like shawl every other class of stocks, given way in cease-
qqusnos I
of the political complication of European powers.
These oontisually recurring &Motheaten ought to, and pro-
bably ow/smelly will, induce investments ht a country which,
like the United States of America, is net at all likely to be
affected by such causes. Small paresis of 'Jolted Stales Flee
per Cent. Bonds, 1874, have been takes at 96. For New
York Central and Pennsylvania Central Bondi there is a
Meetly demand. Illinois shares improved to 32. but close 33
din sellers. Construction Bonds steady*, 80 to 81. Free
Leads am wanted at 82, but none are offering.

WzDNISDAT BVINING.

The fund. opened this morning ess;;;ld
at one period en improvement of to 3-16 per cent.
was attained. Upon the receipt of lower prices
from Paris, en immediate fall took place, and the
cuing quotations were barely as good u those of
yesterday. After the close of the Stock Exchange
a fresh reduction off per cent. was quoted, owing
to news that the Three per Cent. Renter had fallen
to 68.80. The government broker made his usual
investment on public account, and there wu a pur-
chase by the broker who acts for the Court of Chan-
The general investments appear to bare
become less numerous at the enhanced prices lately
established.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 961 " sellers,"
for money and the Bth February, opened this
morning at 961 to 1' and, after touching 96 3-16,
" buyers," had receded at the close to 96, "buyers."
After the close of the Stock Exchange a decline to 95;
to 96 took place. The official business report is as
follows:—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 901,
98},
, 9B, 951, 96; ditto, for account (Bth Feb.),
98 , 981, 96, 95_1; Three
_per Cents. Reduced,
96 4,1; Row Three per Cents., 961, 1, ,
1,1; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April,
1885, 181; Bank Stock, 2261, 228; India Stook,
221, 2231; Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, of
the first issue, 991, 994, 991.
Exchequer Bills have again risen ls., closing at
375. to 40e. prem. India Bonds have likewise ad-
sauced, being dealt in at 19s. to 22a. prem.
In the foreign stock market the principal transitct
tions were in the Turkish Six per Cents. of 1854,
which were first marked 911, and subsequently 911,
closing at 911 to 4, or 1 per cent, lower than yes-
terday. The new Turkish Loan was heavy at one
period of the day, but afterwards became firmer, the
first series closing at 41 to 41 dirt., and the second at
44 to 41 dia. Peruvian Bonds were in good demand,
and have advanced, in consequence of the magni-
' tude of the sales of guano, the profit of the Peru-
; virtu government upon which must be very large, as
the rates of freight are so low.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLosS,
In the mining market today the principal
transactions have been in Wheal Uny, Rosewarne,
Wheal Basset, East Basset, Great Wheal Busy, and
