MONEY MA R 11.112 -THIS .1141'.

Two o'CLook.

The funds opened this morning with steadiness,
but have since experienced an unfavourable reaction
of 1 per cent., owing chiefly to the non-appearance
of the government broker as a buyer. In the other
departments of the Stock Exchange, much steadi-
ness continues to prevail, but business is languid.
French railway shares exhibit a fresh improvement.
Consols for the 7th September were first
marked 961, and are now quoted 961 to a. For
money the present quotation is 96 to 1.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been
dealt in at 971 to 971; the New Three
per Cents, at 971 to 971 ; India Stock, at
217 to 219; India Four per Cent. Debentures of the
first issue, at 981 to 981; India Bonds, at 16s. to
18e. prem.; Exchequer Bills, March, at 32a. prem.;
ditto Jane, at 225. to 245. prem.
Very little business has been done in the foreign
stock market, and the alteration in prices is un-
important. Turkish Six per Cents. remain steady,
at 971 to t. Mexican Bonds are quoted 21} to 1,
and the scrip of the New Brazilian Loan, par to
prem. Buenos Ayres Bonds are still rather offered.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres Six
per Cents., for account, 781; Mexican Three per
Cents., for account, 21, 211 ; Spanish New De-
ferred Three per Cents., for account, 27i ;
Turkish Six per Cents., for account (August 13),
971, 971; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., for
account, 1041 ex div.
At Paris to-day (Tuesday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent.
Reates opened at 68fr. 90c. for the account,
showing a further improvement of nearly 1 per
cent. compared with the last price of yesterday.
The shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
are rather flatter, at 880, " sellers."
The investments of the government bro-
ken, though individually small, amount to
a very considerable sum in the course
of a few weeks. Simultaneously ss ith these,
the withdrawals of stock by the public and
by the banking interest have continued ; and it is
understood that during the last few days the Bank
of England have likewiee invested a portion of their
large surplus funds in the purchase of government
stock. Under these combined operations the market
its almost bare of Console, Reduced Three per Cent.
and New Three per Cent. Stocks, and is thus ren-
dered intrinsically very strong. Money being
plentiful in the Stock Exchange end stock
scarce, the dealers are ready lenders of money upon
deposit of government securities at 11 per cent. per
annum, and even this low rate is merely nominal.
A good harvest is regsrded as now assured; the
immediate prospect. of the bullion movement are
highly satisfactory; and the Paris Bourse, being at
length relieved to some extent from the mass of new
securities which have so long weighed upon it, is at
length evincing comparative buoyancy. These con-
siderations naturally stimulate confidence.
The discount market remains extremely easy,
21 to 21 per cent. being the current terms for choice

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-morrow (" making-up day")
and terminate on Friday.
The monthly return of the Bank of France will
be published next Friday, and will, it is stated,
exhibit the satisfactory feature of a further im-
portant increase in the amount of bills discounted.
The African mail steamer Armenian has brought
about 7,6001. in gold. The smallness of the specie
remittance (2601) by the Canada is owing to this
vessel's port of departure having been Boston. The
' next steamer due at Liverpool from New York is I ex-
pected to bring a considerable amount of gold.
According to the Melbourne advice', the ships
Abyssinian, Suffolk, Sultans, and Ocean Chief, were
advertised to leave for England in June.
The bar silver brought by theParana was sold yes-
terday for transmission to the Continent at ba.
per ounce standard, showing. the important decline
of id., compared with the price realised for the re-
mittance by the previous packet. This is the effect
of the falling off in the Eastern demand. The
Mexican dollars have yet to be disposed of.
It is believed that the homeward India and China
mails by way of Marseilles will not reach London
until Friday or Saturday owing to the detention of
the steamer in quarantine at Alexandria.
In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday an adjudica-
tion took place in the case of Mr. David Hughes,
described as of No. 13, Gresham-street, scrivener,
whose debts are stated to exceed the enormous sum
of 180,0001. The bankrupt is said to have left the
country.
In Mark-lane yesterday old wheat was quoted about
the same as on Monday last ; but as regards now
wheat, a reduction of 2e. to 4s. per quarter was esta-
blished, the splendid weather having considerable
influence.

A large amount of bovines has been done in sugar
by private contract since Friday, and holders now
ask an advance of 6d. per cwt. The tea market is
very strong.
The price of Scotch pig iron has advanced to 655.
The Sea Star has arrived from China with 735,700
lbs. of tea and 246 bales of silk.

Influential purchases of Great Luxembourg shares
have been effected during the last few days. The
period for the opening of another important section
of this company's line is now near at hand, and the
increase in the traffic induces a hope that at no dis-
tant period the shareholders, who have successfully
struggled against so many difficulties, will be put in
receipt of a dividend.
The shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
were nominally quoted rather lower to-day, at 8501.
to 9001. per 1,0001. share.
The emit Western Railway of Canada traffic
return shows a decrease of 6731., making an ewe-
gate decrease of 53,0191. for the 25 weeks of this
company's half-year.
The Brighton Railway traffic return presents this
week an increase of 2,2781.

MONDAY IVINTIO.

The tendency of the funds is still upwards. At
one period to-day a rise of per cent. was attained,
and the closing quotations were per cent. above
those of Saturday. The monetary and political in-
fluences are alike facourable, but the principal sti-
mulus still rests with the bond fide absorption of
stock.

In the other departments of the Stock Exchange
the tendency of prices is also strongly against the
buyer. English and French railway shares have
again advanced. Some of the English stocks—in-
eluding more especially London and North Western,
Caledonian, and Great Western—received a decided
stimulus to-day from speculative purchases, intended
partly to cover previous operations for lower prices.
The floating supply of most descriptions is limited,
and this fact gives the market a strong basis. The
accounts of some of the leading railway companies
are considered very unsatisfactory, but the amount
of money seeking investment is far in excess of the
amount of securities on offer.

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 961, " sel-
lers," for the 7th September, opened this morning at
961 to 1, advanced to 961 to and closed at 961
toll. For money the lut price was 961 to 1. The
official business report is as follows?—Three per
Cent. Consuls, for money, 261._ E. I, 1, 1. 1 t ditto,
kr account (7th September), V6f, 98; Three per
Gents. Reduced, 97, 971; New Three per Cents.,
97, 971, 97/ ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in
April, 1883, 181; Bank Stock, 228, 2271, 227.
The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of the first
%sue were officially marked 981.
The March Exchequer Bills remain quoted 335.
to 365. prem., and the June, 21s. to 235. prem.
India Bonds were dealt iq at 15s. to 19r. prem.
In the forcign stock market a moderate degree of
activity prevailed. 'Turkish Six per Cents. advanced
Pr cent., closing at 971 to f. The Ouaranteed

Four For Cents. were firm, at 104 to Spanish
Bonds continue in request, and are rising:
the Deferred Three per Cents. were marked as high
as 28, and the Pessive Bonds 10. Russian and Ve-
nezuelan stocks were likewise in demand. Buenos
Ayres Bonds remain dell. The scrip of the New
Brazilian loan remains quiet, at to prem.
The shorts of the Red Sea and India Telegraph
Company were last quoted t prem. " sellers."
