MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Oxa o'Osaai.

There is little business to-day in the stock
markets, apart from that connected with the fort-
nightly settlement, and prices generally exhibit no
alteration. Upwards of 000,0001. in specie
and bullion has just arrived, chiefly from
Mexico and Australia, and the return of the
Bank of England shows a further addition
to the resources of that establishment. At
the same time, the supply of money offering
in the Stock Exchange on the ;security of
the English funds and British railway and foreign
stocks is greatly in excess of the requirements of
the dealers ; yet there seems to be little disposition
to operate to any important extent for a rise. It is
hoped, however, that some activity will be manifested
about the middle of next month, when most persons
will have returned from their holidays. Consols
are unchanged, and the variations in other securi-
ties are unimportant.

In the discount market to-day the supply of
money has experienced a further diminution, owing
to the revenue payments to the Bank, but choice
three months' bills are taken at 11 per cent.
Consols are quoted 941 to 1 for money, and
94 7-16 to 9-16, or 941, the Bth October, and the
Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per
Cents., 921 to I, ex div.

The government broker has made his final pur-
chase to-day for the Sinking Fund, the amount
taken being 21,0001. Three per Cents. Reduced, at
921, ex div.

The railway market is rather dull to-day, but
the reduction in a few of the loading lines does not
exceed Ito 1- per cent. Subjoined are the prices :
Metropolitan, 1241 to ; Great Western, 481 to
1 ; London and North Western, 1141 to 1 ;
Midland, 1225 to 1 ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 127 to 1 ; Caledonian, 104 to 1; South
Eastern, 69 to t ; Great Eastern, 311 to g ;

British, 321 to 331 ; and Brighton, 531 to 54.
Some of the foreign stocks show firmness.
Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are in good
demand, and exhibit a fresh rise of t to 4 per
cent., viz., to 191 to 1 and 164 to 17, respec-
tively. Turkish of 1865 and Italian of 1861
are 1 better, the former at 32 tot, and the latter at
481 to 3 ; Turkish of 1862 are quoted 62 to
63 ; Greek, 131 to 14 ; Chili= scrip, 5 to

151 to 4.

tral, 76f to 771 ; Anglo-American Telegraph, 17i

In the Express of the 24th inst. reference was
made to the proposed emission by the Suez Canal
Company of 333,333 obligations of 500 f. each,
secured on the whole property and income of the
company, to be issued at 300 f., and redeemable in
50 years at par. From the circumstance that the
subscription list is to be opened only from Thurs-
day, the 26th inst., to Monday, the 30th, it might
be inferred that there was no disposition to invite
the co-operation of English capitalists • but it
appears that this is not so, and it is notified that
Mr. D. A. Lange, who was instrumental in making
the company known in this country in 1857, is
duly authorised to receive subscriptions in London,
and will do so at the offices of Messrs. ?Maine,
Payne, and Lawrence, Angel-court, Throgmorton-
street.

The withdrawals of private deposits have been
more than made up by the influx of the revenue,
and, as th 3 Bank's discount and loan business con-
tinues to fall off, the reserve has received a further
addition of close upon a quarter of • million. In
the coin and bullion there is a trifling falling off,
yet the remarkable feature is presented that every
note in circulation is fully covered by coin and
bullion, with an excess of more than a million.
