MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Ozoow.

The English funds, hie the French Rentes,
are very slow to respond to the renewed
pacific assurances put forward by the Emperor
of the French. Consols have remained all
morning at Saturday's prime, but within the
last half-hour an improvement of 1-16 to per cent.
has taken place. Business in every department of
the market is nearly at a stand-still. Must de-
scriptions of securities are nominally quoted the
same as on Saturday.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renton opened at
681 r. iZo., ex div., being nearly 31 per cent. better
than on Saturday.

Consols are officially marked 931, ex div. ,
for the account (July 10). Until within the
last half hour, the quotation was 934 to 4,
but an improvement has since taken place
to 931, " buyers." The official business
report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 230, 229 ; Three
per Cents. Reduced, 93f, ; New Three per Cents.,
93#, # ; India Bonds, 12s. dia. ; Exchequer Bills,
4s. prem.

The foreign stock market is steady, though
inactive. The Turkish loan of 1854 is quoted
77 to }, and that of 1858, 60 to }. Spanish Bonds
are inquired for, and firm. In other foreign stocks
no alteration of importance has occurred. Sales
are recorded as follows : Brazilian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 1852, 87 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 1860, 88 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 95 (exchange 25f.) ; Peruvian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 921; Portuguese Three per Ceuta.,
1833, for account, 45 ; Sardinian Five per
Cents., 82f to 82 ; Spanish New Deferred Three
per Cents., 381 ; Turkish Six per Cent& , 1858,
6011 ; ditto for account, 60f.

The shares of the Thames and Mersey Marine
Insurance Company present no recovery, being
quoted 1 to 1e prem.
_.

- An instalment of 8 per oent. fell due on Satur
day on the Canada Loan of 2,800,0001.
2,0001. ingold was withdrawn
,from the Bank on
Saturday for exportation. _ _

The imports of the precious metals last week
were rather large, comprising 379,000 i. from
the United States, 1.27,0001, from the West Indies,
4,0001. from Africa, and 6,9601. from the Pe-
ninsula.

The total is about 516,0001., the bulk of which
hes been sent away.
The Atrato will take 5,3201. in silver and 5,0001.
in gold for the West Indies.
It appears that Mr. Cross, the manager of the
Billiton Bank of Messrs. John Foster and Co., the
stoppaftge of which was mentioned in the Exprem
of Saturday, is a partner in the firm of Thomas
Cross, Son, and Co., ironmasters, of West Brom-
wich ; and it is stated that he has been making ad-
vances from the bank's funds to his own firm with-
out the knowledge of his employers. The bank
having stopped payment upon the discovery of
these transactions, the firm of Thomas Cross and
Sons has stopped also. The notice affixed outside
the bank's doors at Billiton implies that the stop-
page is only temporary, and is caused by a differ-
ence between the partners and their manager, but
the real position of the accounts does not appear to
be known.

--ii;:Frederick Maynard, the accountant, has
sent the annexed circular to the shareholders in the
Western Bank of London, which is now in course
of liquidation. At the extraordinary general meet-
ing of shareholders, held in May, 1859, when a
proposition was made for voluntarily winding up
the affairs of the bank, Mr. Maynard gave mau-
-1 manannemdentht,etoali:ytsinbeftiyi thieendtabltwaithdugoe good
the bank, and to male a return of 401. or upwards
out of the 50/. per share of the paid-up capital.
The dividend of 51. now announced fulfils that
pledge within 51. per share. Mr. Maynard says he
" happy to be able to state that by the judicious
management and firmness of the liquidators sacri-
fices have been avoided in the realisation, and there
is every probability of the assets remaining to be
collected yielding fully sufficient to pay another 5/.
per share in the course of about another year."
Landoll, 19, Bread-street, EC., June 15.

Bank of London to inform you that a general meeting of
