MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Cwcz.

There is no new feature to-day in the funds.
Business is very limited, and the general tone
of the market is rather flat, the cold
wet weather having a depressing influence. Consols
are quoted about 1-16 per cent. lower than
at the close of business yesterday. British railway
stocks are rather heavy, South Eastern continuing
to exhibit chief depression. The increased heaviness
of the securities of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada, consequent upon the belief that the in-
terest due on Monday on the second preference de-
bentures will not be met, forms likewise a feature.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Reutes were opened
at 68fr. 470., being the same as yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 93 and t for
money, and 93k for the account. The
present quotations are 93 to for cash,
and 931 to for the 11th of October.
The official business report is as follows :
India Five per Cent. Stock, 1859, 1031 ;
ditto Bonds, 6s. dis.; Exchequer Bills, par.
Mexican Bonds are rather flatter, and
are marked 21k. Buenos Ayres are also
rather more offered. Venezuela Active
Bonds were in demand. The Turkish Loan
of 1858 has improved per cent., being quoted
551 to 56f, while that of 1854 has receded to
• like extent, standing now at 73}
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 871., 87 ;
Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 941 ;
ditto Deferral, 291, 30 ; Equador New Consoli-
dated, 12k ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account,
211; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 931 ;

Consols show no change since two o'clock, the
quotations being still 93 to it for money, and 93}
to I for the account.

The 1,128,000/. in specie by the West India
packet reached the warehouses of the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday morning, in about 40 waggons.
Bills on the Continent were again in demand yes-
terday afternoon, and the tendency of the exchanges
was, therefore, somewhat unfavourable, although
the alteration in the rates was not of importance.
Subjoined is our usual list :

Aiisterdam, 3 months, ILI6 to • ditto, Antwerpl4
to ; Rotterdam, 3 months., 11.16Ct0 ; 3
months, 25.25 to 30 ; Ham (ms. tame), 3 months,

dsys, 521 to 53.
In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday an adjourn.
ment was ordered of the certificate meeting in the
case of Mr. Simon Saunder, merchant, of St. Mary-
are,whose debts are 15,4071., and assets nil. Most of
the creditors reside on the Continent. A person
named James Denny Chapman, warehouseman, of
Aldermanbury and Whitechapel, who has ab-
sconded with considerable property, leaving debts
to the amount of 30,0001., was proclaimed in the
Reuel form.
A rumour is in circulation—and no one seems to
be able to contradict it—that the first coupon
which falls dne on the lit October on the second
preference debentures of the Grand Trunk Railway
of Canada will not be paid. This seems to be indi-
cated by the low price of the bonds, which are
quoted 65 to 67. . .

The followi4 memorandum is from the Commit-
tee of Mexican Bondholders. However greatly the
contending parties in Mexico may differ, they seem
to agree in the policy of attempting at every oppor-
tunity to plunder the bondholders.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received a
letter from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 14th ult.,
but none of the end of last month, as was expected. General
Minunon had two days previously returned alone to the
capital ; his defeat at Woo was becoming known. Discus-
sloes about the Presidency, Zulosga haring disappired,
bad commenced ; apprehensions about the safety of the
Cosducta, which was then at Puebla, were entertained, and
hills of lading bad been offered at a discount- A letter
from the agents in Vera Urns, of the let inst., however,
reports the safe arrival of the Conducts there with about
3,700,000 dole. It also advises the remittance of 36,213 dole.
in duty bills to Mr. Whitehead forthe month of August, but
that the Vera Crux authorities were soliciting the British
government to allow them to suspend, for six months, the
payment of the assignments to the bondholders and to the
diplomatic convention creditors. The agents in Tampico
advise a remittance of 6,166 dole. by this packet, which also
brings 2,700 dole. from the agents in Colonia for the divi-
dend fund here. _

The Klii;Wing notification from the Committee of
Spanish American Bondlioldersnrelating to the debt
of Venezuela, was yesterday posted up in the Stock
Exchange. We understand that Senor Rodriguez
has arrived by the present packet. The bond-
holders are very curious to learn the nature of the
"arrangement " alluded to in the final sentence of
the committee's memorandum :
The committee have received advice' from their agnate at
La Ousyra, dated the 7th inst., of which the following is
an extract : . .

been favoured in due nouns with your com-
munication of the let August, enclosing copy of a LAW
addressed by the committee to the Minister of Finance in
Ounces through Mr. Ortne.
" We have had several interviews with the Minister of
Finance on the subject of the punctual payment of the in-
terest on the foreign debt, and oleo laid before him the
advantages derived by the formal hypothecation of a certain
portion of the custom-house duties for the payment of
said interest, to be handed over to an agent named by the
committee.

"His excellency entirely concurred in our views, and
I?egged us to assure the committee that Mr. Jose Santiago
Ko3rigusa would leave by the present packet m fiscal agent
of the republic to reside in London, and that he took with
him which he trusted the committee would aid Hr.
in carrying out, and that a part of which was the
handing over to an agent of fifty per cent. of all the cm-
tom-Doors duties of the republic provided an arrangement
could he effected in London."
