MONEY MARKEL-2MS DAY.

Two o'CLOCK.
The funds to-day are rather firmer, and an im-
provement of per amt. has taken place. The
declaration in the Coustittaiminelrelative to French
policy in Italy continues to excite attentioa. The
government broker has taken a parcel of 15,0001.
new Three per Cent. stock. Business in all quarters
continues languid, but all claims of securities are
firm.

No change hu taken place in the Three per Cent.
Mentos at P►ris this morning, the quotation being
(according to Mr. Renter's telegram) 6&r. 80c. for
the account.

The Indian Loan has risen to 98; to I. The Rus-
sian Loan is quoted / die. to par.
Consols are officially marked 951 to for money,
and 951 for the 7th of September. The present quo-
tation is 961 to both for money and the account.
Bank stock has been dealt in at 2241; the Three
per Cents. +rimed, at 96 to 981; the New
Three per Cents., at 96 to 961 ; the
Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, 1868, at
961 to 4 ; ditto 1859, at 911; the *alp of the
New Loan, at 984 to 1; ditto stock, at 981; India
Bonds, at 31. to Be. die.; and Exchequer Bills, at
21e. to 24e. prem.

The foreign stock market is very quiet, except
as regards Mexican bonds, which have
improved, being marked 201 and 201. The Old
Turkish Six per Cents. are quoted 821 to 831,
and the New, 73 to 74. In other foreign
stocks business is almost suspended. Sales
are recorded as follows:—Mexican Three per
Cents., 201; ditto for account, 201, 201; Turkish
Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 831; ditto
Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1021.
The report of the directors of the Ottoman Bank
issued this morning states the net profits for the last
six months at 26,0301., including the balance of
3,2381. brought forward. A sum of 8,0001.
is to be added to the Reserve Fund, which is thus
raised to 40,00 W. A half-yearly dividend is recom-
mended at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum,
leaving 1,0301. to be carried forward.
The payment yesterday of about 20 per cent. on the
Indian Loan, and 12 per cent. on the Russian Loan,
irrespective of the sums paid in anticipation of future
instalments, occasioned a more active demand for
money.

Few bills were discounted in Lombard-etrest
below 21 per cent. At the Bank, however, there
was no revival of business. Within a week or so,
this establishment will probably notify its readiness
to make the usual quarterly advances on six months
bills and government securities during the shutting
of the transfer books.
The letters of allotment of the Indian Loan are
endorsed outside " On Her Majesty's Service ;" the
stock receipts prepared by the Bank of England are
identical in form (though, of course, distinguished by
verbal alterations) with those of Consols ; and the
transfers will be effected in the same office at the Bank
of England where transfers of Bank stock and of the
, Reduced Three per Cents. take place. With the
provision that the dividends on the new stock shall
be payable at the same time and place as those on
British government securities the public are already
familiar. The act of parliament declares that the
present loan is raised "on the credit of the revenues
of India ;" yet in every point the arrangements are
so framed as to convey an impression that the new
stock his something in common with the securities
of the British government. There is not the slightest
doubt, too, that these arrangements have already
attracted, and will continue to attract, numerous
lonia fide investments. One of two conclusions must
be accepted : either these forms signify absolutely
nothing—in which case it is disingenuous to parade
them for the possible mystification of the ignorant
investor—or they really possess a certain significance,
and, in conjunction with the solemn assumption of
the government of India by the British crown,
help to fasten upon British shoulders both a moral
and a pecuniary responsibility. In the latter case,
why is the money raised at 61 par cent. ?
The 14th of September will be the next settling
day in shares and foreign stocks.
About 363,0001. in Australian gold is now due or
overdue by the ships Avon, Prince of the Seas, and
Star of Peace; and a further sum of 206,0001. ought
to arrive within a period of ten days by the Eagle
and Beschworth.

It is stated that proceedings in Chancery have

Railway Company by Mr. Thomas Jackson, the
contractor.

A meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Com-
pany took place yesterday. The directors' re-
port ascribes the failure of the company's steamers
on the Indus to the strength of the stream.
Alterations are being made, and two new steamers
of greater power are being built, which it is hoped
will surmount all difficulties.
The 69th half-yearly meeting of the General Steam

The position of the freight market is thus noticed
by Messrs. Sharer, Lamb, and Co., under date of
yesterday evening :
The aspect of the freight market is unaltered, for there is
no currency of demand. The Mediterranean trade out sad
home is deplorably dull, and the rates thence are quite
nominal. in toe Baltic, the homeward prospects have bees
so unpromising as to require a rise outwards to induce' brai-
niest and this hue now taken place. Within the last few days
• partial disposition has been evinced to renew chartering
from Croustade, bat the rates offered are low. Many vessels
have newly left Cronztadt in ballast for neighbouring ports.
As the reason foe Gulf of Bothnia is advancing operators
naturally desire to have their tonnage engaged. A few
Brazilian coal imps are wanted, and for the East Indian coal
stations the inquiry is only gentle, and rates much abaut the
rams. The troop shine want lower last than previous week.
The guano quota.ion en still 50e., and to the Mauritius has
fallen tram tiOs. to 55a.
