MONEY MARKET.-(Tlin DAY.)

011 oYkooz.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
to-day is remarkably as and very few changes
have occurred in prices. Consols, in which the
monthly settlement is in progress, are offered, and
have declined k per cent. A similar reduction is
also observable in a few of the foreign stocks, and
banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are
dull. English railway securities exhibit no varia-
tion of importance with the exception of a fall
of about it per cent. in Great Northern, and a
rise to the same extent in Caledonian.

The uncertainty prevailing with regard to the
reform question, and an apprehension that fresh
Fenian disterbanom may take place in Ireland
tend to check fresh transactions, but the chief
cause of tho present want of animation is believed
to bo the losses incurred by the public in con-
nexion with companies now in course of liquida-
tion. The bargains recorded from day to day are
almost exclusively confined to the dealers in the
Stock Exchange, and are mostly of a speculative
character.

The discount market is quiet, but the charge for
good bills is maintained at 21 to 1 per cent. The
rate for short advances in the Stock Exchange on
English government securities is 2} per cent.
Consols are now quoted 901 to 91, both for
money and to-morrow's settlement, and 91 to 1
for the April account.

The foreign stock market is quiet, and the only
change in tho speculative descriptions is a reduc-
tion off per cent. in Turkish of 1865 and Italian
of 1861. Turkish of 1865 are quoted 30/ to 31/ ;
Greek, 161, to ; Spanish Passive, 221 to / ; ditto
Certificates, 14 to ; Italian of 1861, 53! to ;
Mexican, 17/ to 1; Russian Scrip, 2! to / prom. ;
Chili= Scrip, 11 to 1 die. ; and Danubian Scrip, 1
to% dia.

Ifnited States 5-20 Bonds are inquired for, and

being better, and Eric 35! to 304, showing no
chant

preference, at 21r to I.

International Financial shares are quoted
24 to 21 dis. ; London Financial, 18} to 174 dis. ;
General Credit, 21 to 21 dia.; Credit Fonder,
n wit dis. ; National Discount, 7& to 84 prem.,
ex div.; and Hudson's Bay, 154 to 184.
A general court of the proprietors of the Bank
of England will be held on the 14th inst, "to
consider of a dividend." Another general court
will be held on the Dth of April for the election of
a governor and deputy-governor for the year en-
suing ; and on the following day, the 10th, 24 di-
rectors will be elected.

HALP-PAST THREE O'CLOCK.

Thu English funds are very flat, owing to the
news of the Fenian disturbances in lrebuid. Con-
sols are now quoted 901 to / both for money and
to-morrow's settlement, and poi to 91 for the new
account, showing a fresh decline of I per cent.
No bullion operations have occurred at the
Bank.

Concurrently with the war in the Plate, British
trade with Brazil, as well as with the other belli-
gerent States, goes on largely increasing. In 1866
the exports of England to Masi amounted in value
to 7,223,7'941., or upwards of a million and a half
sterling more than the exports of 1865. Our im-
ports from that empire in the first eleven months
of last year in its four principal articles of pro-
duction—viz. sugar, cotton, coffee, and hides—
reached the large sum of 6,144,708/. So that in all
probability, when the returns for 1866 are corn-
pleted, the outward and inward trade of the two
nations in 1866 will nearly reach 14,000,0001.
Brazil now stands fifth on the list of the foreign
customers of England.
The meeting of the bond and debenture holders
and other creditors of the Atlantic and Great Wes-
tern Railway took place yesterday, and passed off
better than had been expected. With a view to

committee was appointed, consisting of Sir William
Russell, Bart., M.P. Mr. Thomas Cave, M.P.,
Mr. John Fildes, M.P., and Mr. Crawshaw Bailey,
M.P., with power to add to their number, and
powers were given to them to send out a commission
to America, and to take such other steps as may be
necessary. A resolution was also passed recom-
mending the consolidated bondholders to cut off
and place in the hands of the committee, as trus-
tees, coupons for two years, from the 31st inst., for
which 7 per cent. income bonds will be issued,
having five years to run. All coupons due prior to
the 31st but. are to be paid out of the first available
receipts. Several of the speakers expressed a con-
fident belief that the railwayvrill soon recover itself,
provided the management is changed.
At the meeting of the Loudon General Omnibus
Company, held yesterday, a dividend and bonus

rants, representations be made claiming the return
of the capital with interest, and that the representa-
tive of the colony here be requested to forward the
resolution to the colonial government.
