MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctocx.
Tho success reported to have been achieved by the
allies has contributed to strengthen the funds.
Consols are quoted 3 to 1, per cent. better than they
'closed on Saturday. Throughout the Stock Ex-
change business is as limited as last week, but prices
in nearly all instances are firm.
_ . . . . .

Soon after the official opening of the Patio Boone

to-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three
per Cent. Rentes were quoted Olfr. 20c. for the ac-
count,heing f per cent. lower than the last price of

Saturday. - -
Consols are officially marked 911 to 911 for
money, and 911 to 911 for the 7th of June. The
present quotation is 918 to 1, both for money
1 and the account. Bank Stock has been dealt

in at 220 to 2211; the Three per Cents. Reduced,
at 901 to 1; the new Three per Cents., at
901 to a ; the scrip of the New Indian Loan, at
921 ; India Bocds, at Bs. to 10s. die.; and Ex-
chequer Bills, at 20s. to 235. prem.
Foreign stocks are extremely quiet, but
fairly supportod. The old Turkish Six per
Cents. are a trifle firmer, at 60 to 62.
The New Loan is quoted 60 to 81. Mexican
Bonds remain dull. Sales are recorded ss follows :

Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 753 ; French Three per
Cent. Bente. 62f. (exchange 25f.); Mexican Three
per Cents., for account, 161, 16k ; Peruvian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., for account, 81j; ditto Three
per Cents., 62 ; ditto for account, 80; Portuguese
Three per Cents., 1863, 39; Sardinian Five per
Cents., 77i; Turkish Six per Cents., 1851, for
account, 61; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 51 ; ditto
for account, 60.
In the discount market the demandon Saturday was
quiet. Good bills having two months to run were
readily taken at 4 per-cent, and, in some instances,
at M. Sanely any business was done at the Bank.
There were no operations in bullion at the Bank
en Saturday. Of the large amount of gold user
_

tinned in the Express of Wednesday as coming
forward from Bane* about 100,0001. reached
London on Saturday, and will be sent to the
Continent.

The object for which many of our Australian
fellow-subjects have so long struggled is at length,
we hope, upon the point of achievement. The Ad-
miralty notification has at last been issued, inviting
tenders, on theist of July, for the " monthly convey-
ance, each way, by steam vessels, of her Majesty's
mails between Great Britain and the Australian
colonial, rid Panama." As a matter of course, the
arrival and departure of these mails will be arranged
alternately with those via Sties ; so that, practically,
there will be a fortnightly service. The liberality of
the people and legislature of New South Wales
relieves the home government of a large portion of
the expense. It is, therefore, to be hoped that no
petty considerations will be permitted to stand be-
tween the colonists and the completion of their

hopes.
The imports of the precious metals last week
were again large. Oar list includes 13,6001. by the
Saxon's, 172,6001. by the Jura, and 138,0001. by the
City of Washington, all three from New York ;
47,000 sovereigns from Constantinople; 100,0001. in
gold from Russia; 120,0001. in gold and silver, by
the Magdalena, from the West Indies and Isthmus ;
and 7 cases of silver coin by the Ranger, from Oporto.
These arrivals represent as aggregate of upwards
of 590,0001. The whole of the gold that has come
to hand (excepting the sovereigns
.from Turkey) has
been sent to the Continent, partly in payment for
silver. It appears, however, from the London Cut-
tom-house statement, that 231,600 ounces, worth
68,0001., of the silver received from the Continent
has been transmitted back to Belgium and Hamburg.
The Ripon, on the 20th inst., as already reported.
talk 358,4411.—near1y all silver—for Calcutta and
China.
The traffic on all the French railways exhibits a
great increase, owing to military movements. The
receipts of the Parv, Lyons, and Mediterranean
Company last week were 37,0001. more than in the
corresponding week of last year.
A general court of the East India Company is
called for the Bth of June, for general business."
A proprietor has given notice of a motion to the
following effect—that a special court be convened to
consider the advisability of making application to
parliament for the redemption of the dividend on the
company's stock before the right to claim such re-
demption from parliament shall expire, on the let
September next."
A general meeting of shareholders in the Grand
Russian Railways is called for the 30th of June, at
St. Petersburg, to receive the directors' report rela-
tive to the operations and present position of the
company, together with the accounts for the year
1858.
The ordinary general meeting of the Calcutta and
South Eastern Railway Company is called for the
31st inst. ; and that of the Oriental Gas Company
for the same day.
