MONEY MAREBT.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoca.

The foods to day are quiet, but firm. Inveatmeuta
of moderate amount have been effected, and Consols

are now quoted per cent. higher than they closed
yesterday. In a speculative sense very little business
has been done, the attention of the dealers being almost
exclusively occupied with the important settlement
now in progress in Consols. The payments fixed
for this day are being effected satisfactorily, &m-
-oldering the recent trying ifireumstalices.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange,
&dons still prevails, the transactions being very
limited. Prices, however, are not generally lower
than yesterday.

Colnols for the 7th of June are marked 90 and
901, and for money from BE4 to 901. The present
quotation is 901 to / both for money and the
aooount. Bank Stock has been dealt in at
216 to 219; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at
891 to t ; the New Three per Cants., at 891 to t
India Stook, *at 218; the Indian Four per Cent.;

•
Debeatares of last year at 93 to 94 ; the scrip of the
New Indian Lou, at 92 ; India Bawds at 16s. to
18s. dia. ; and Exchequer Bills, at 16e. to 235.
MM.

- At the official opening of the Paris Boone this
day, wording to Mr. Renter's telegram, the
Three per Cent. Rental were dealt in at 801 r. 96c.
for the aooonnt, being the same as the last price of
yesterday.
_ _

Turkish stocks are quiet, at the late heavy redac-
tion, the Old Six per Cents. being quoted 68
to 62, and the New, 48 to 52. Spanish
stocks have been premed for sale, at • radar-
tioo. Mexican, Dutch, and some other descrip-
tions have also shown heaviness, the general
appearance of this department being extremely
inanimate. Sales are recorded u follows : Brazilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1858, 90 ; Dutch Four
per Cent. Certificates, 90, 92 ; Mexican Three per
Cute., 161; ditto for account, 161; New Granada
Deferred Bonds, 41 ; Portuguese Three per Cents.,
1853, 391 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 69 ;
Spanish Three per Cents, 37, 36, 371; ditto, for

261, 25, 251, 251; Turkish Six per Cuts., 1864,61;
ditto for account,6l ; ditto Six per Cents, 1868, 61;
iditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 99.

The Bombay mail reached Marseilles yesterday
(Thursday) by her Majesty's steamer Caradoc, and
is expected to be delivered in. London to-morrow
(Saturday) morning. Lord Elgin arrived at Suez
on 28th of April, and probably landed at Marseilles
yesterday. No intelligence had been received at Suez
up to the 27th April of the Australian mail steamer
Emea ; the Nepaul was waiting at Alexandria for
the mails and passengers.
Considering the almost unprecedented extent
of the fall in nearly all cheeses of securities,
surprise is expressed at the magnitude of the divi-
dends already arranged by most of the failed arms
in the Stock Exchange. The effect of the embarrass-
ments which were precipitated by the Russian alarm
is, however, still severely felt in every department.
Paved sales of seetnittes confines to be pressed for
aoeount of embarrassed houses, and have the mare
influence at a time when such large quantities have
already been poured upon the market. The absorption
by the public goes on, bat appears to be still exceeded
by the sales. The rise in the rates of discount also
causes sales of English railway and other stocks
hitherto held on borrowed money.
The addition which will be made to the deposits
in the Bank through the payment of about 18 per
cent on the Indian loan, fixed for to-day, will
form a partial set-off against the demand on them in
connexion with the repayment of 2,000,0001. Ex.
chequer Bonds on Monday. The instalment on the
Indian loan represents about 900,0001., but there will
of course be a good many defaulters, partly from ina-
bility to pay, and partly from want of pnnciple.
The probable financial requirements of the British
government are daily exciting more attention.
The joint stock banks have raised their rates for
deposits from 21 to 31 per cent., being 1 per cent.
lagew the Bank rate of discount. The London and
Westminster Bank, however, allow only 2j per
seat. for sums below 3001.
Means. Overend, Gurney, and Co. have raised
their rates for loans 1 per cent., fixing them as
follows, viz., for money payable on demand, 31 per
cent.; at three days' notice, 3I per cent.; and at
seven days' notice, 4 per cent.
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank yes-
terday for exportation was 64,0001., making a total of
246,0001. since the date of the last return. 47,0001.
in American gold, by the steamers Cityof Baltimore,
Vanderbilt, and Lebanon, was also purchased for the
Continent. The Vanderbilt brought 186,0001. in
specie, but only 10,0001. was for England.
At Vienna on Wednesday an improvement of about
2 per cent. took place in the Austrian Metallic&
At Hamburg the rate of discount, :which lately
rose to 61 per cent., has receded to 41. The Am-
sterdam market is still little effected by the Euro-
pean pressure. The rate of discount of the Bank
of Holland is maintained at 3 per cent., and the ter=
in other quarters are said to be even rather lower.
The Avon, from Brazil, has reached Southampton,
with 68,0001. in specie.
Government have already engaged 123,0001. in
silver for the next Bombay steamer. The remit-
tances on private account are expected to be small.
In the absence of inquiry for the Continent, bar
silver retains a downward tendency. The present
quotation is 6218. per ounce, showing a fall of id. in
two days.
The markets for Russian produce remain fiat. A
telegram from St. Petersburg announces an advance
of 6 ro. in the price of tallow, the quotation being
197 ro. on the spot and for delivery in June. The
exchange on London has fallen to 331 d.
At Lloyd's war premiums have not advanced
within the last three days, and perhaps on account
of the indefinite nature of the risks at present to be
apprehended, no great amount of this kind of busi-
ness is being done. Neutral property in Austrian
ships from Holland to Constantinople has been
covered at ten guineas extra by vessels which
sailed in Much, whilst the rate by a British
ship is twenty shillings for the same voyage.
No intelligence has yet been received of the Bom-
bay and Australian mails, the light portion of which
was due at Marseilles on Monday. In the event of
the Bombay mail reaching Suez first, the steamer
would be detained at Alexandria for the Australian,
or rice versa. The steamer appointed to bring for-
ward the Australian mail on the present occasion is
the Emelt, which has hitherto enjoyed a fair reputa-
tion.
It is suggested that the Admiralty might with
great propriety despatch two steamers to the
Chops of the Channel to the relief of the homewaid
bound vessels, now overdue, and kept out by the
easterly winds.
The wool sales commenced yesterday. The cata-
logue of to-dsy's sales (being the first of this series)
comprised the followiog descriptions—viz.: Sydney,
817 bales; Port Phillip, 1,629 ; Van Diemen's
Land, 117; Adelaide, 108; Cape, 27; total,
2,498 bales. There was a large attendance of buyers,
both home and foreign. Port Phillip wools are 2d.
to 21d. per lb. lower than at the last sales; Syd-
ney, lid., with the exception of extra fine flocks,
prices of which were maintained; Adelaide, lid. to
2d.; and Van Diemen's Land, 21d. At these rates the
bidding. were very spirited. The arrivals up to the
present date are as follows—viz.: Sydney, 7,991
, bales ; Port Phillip and Portland Bay, 32,406 ; Van
, Diemen's Land, 4,906; Adelaide, 11,480; NOW
