MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'Cums.

The unfavourable thaws shown in the Bank re-
turn have rendered the funds dull to-day,
but prices are not lower than yesterday
afternoon. Very little babies; is going
forward. In the share markets steadiness
prevails. The principal variation consists of an
improvement in Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
stock. The shares of the two principal Canadian
railway companies are likewise in better demand.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Recites opened at
69fr. 20c., being the same as at the close yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 931 and for
money, and 931 and for the 11th instant.
The present quotation is 93f, "buyers," both
for money and next Thursday's settlement. The
official business report is as follows :—lndia Bonds,
L., 4s. dia. ; Exchequer Bills, 4e. prem.'
The transactions in the foreign stock market
have been limited, and prices exhibit scarcely
any alteration. The Turkish Loan of
1854 is quoted 731 to 74, and that of 1868, 56 to*.
Sales are recorded as follows:—Brazilian Old Five
per Cents., 91 : ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
1868, 871 ; Chilian Six per Conte., 101; Dutch
Four per Cent. Certificates, 995 ; Mexican
Three per Cents., 221, ; Peruvian Four-and-a-
Half per Ceuta., for account, 911; PortngueseThree
per Cents., 1863, 431 ; Russian Five per Cents.,
1041 ; ditto Three per Cents., 1869, 631 ; Sardinian
Five per Cents., 84} ; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1854, 731.
HALF-PAST Two o'Cloci.

Consols exhibit no variation of importance
since 2 o'clock, being quoted 93e to
for money, and 93} to ti for the account.

In the Stock Exchange, owing to the late bona
Me sales, loans on Cousols continue to command
Si to 4 per cent.
The bar silver by the Mexican packet has been
sold at 6s. lid. per ounce, being id. above the
price obtained fur the previous supply. The pre-
sent quotation, however, has ruled in the interval.
There is still little variation in the exchanges,
but the teudency yesterday afternoon was not favour-
able. Subjoined is our usual list :

A call of 50fr., or V. per share, is announced
upon the share in the Lotabo-Venetian and
South Austrian Railway Company, payable from
the lot to the 15th November. The first coupon of
1860 on the shares, which has been fixed by the
committee at 14f. 500., will be received as part of
this payment.
The undertaking of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company has now reached a very
interesting stage, as the line is about to inter-
sect the metropolis, and to furnish an
unbroken communication between the south and
the north, betweeu the ports on the Channel and
the manufacturing districts. The company are in-
viting applications for the unplaced balance of their
metropolitan extension capital. The total amount
of this capital is 1,650,0001., but the path to its
acquisition has been greatly smoothed. One moiety,
or 825,0001., in A shares of 101. each, has been
placed
.privately, and of the remaining moiety,
_
comprising 8415,0001., in 6 per cent. preference B
shares of 101. each, about 550,000/., has already been
secured by 111011 WI of a private subscription in which
many leading commercial names have taken part.
This metropolitan e :tension will afford the oompany a
direct and nelependeei communication with the pro-
posed station in Farringdon-street, at which point a
junction by means of the Metropolitan Railway
will be secured with the Great Western, Great
Northern, and Midland lines, whilst the connexion
with the Pimlico station will again unite the
London, Chatham, and Dover system with the lines
of the Great Western, as well as the North Western
and South Western Railway Companies. It is
mentioned, in explanation, that it has been deter-
mined to issue the necessary capital for the metro-
politan extension lines as distinct from the other
existing capital of the company, and to adopt the
same means as the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany did in raising a large portion of their capital,
viz., the issue of A and B shares, the former
not receiving any dividend until the latter
have received 0 per cent. preference dim
dead. The Great Northern Railway Company will
benefit largely by the connexion through the Metro-
politan Railway, and have therefore authorised the
issue of a special circular, addressed to their own
proprietors. The contractors for the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway have undertaken to
pay on the B capital 8 per cent. interest during
construction, and fur a twelvemonth afterwards.
We understand that the directors of the Great
Ship Company have sent a letter to Milford Haven,
in which they notify that the services of Captain
Hall, Mr. M•Lellau (the chief engiiieer), and the
manager, are dispensed with. The detention at
Milford Haven of the great ship during the winter
may have something to do with this decision.
The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 193 L . . .

The Emigration Commissioners require a ship to
proceed to Madeira, to embark and carry on to
Calcutta the passengers landed in that island from
the Conway, which, it will be remembered, was
abandoned at sea ; also a vessel to carry passengers
from England to Sydney.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Oct. 3, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes :

This return shows an unexpectedly heavy
draught upon
.the Bank's resources, owing to the
large decrease in the deposits? combined with the
increase in the private securities. There is evidently
a much fuller employment for money. The decrease
In the " reserve" amounts to a million and a half
sterling. Coin has also been withdrawn freely fur
the provinces.
The Gezettt statement of the movements of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday last
gives the following totals, via. :—lmpurta of gold,
296,6721. • exports of gold 373,41151.1* imports of
