MONEY MARIET,-THIS DAY.

Two o'Osota.

The funds continue to show a strong upward ten-
dency, which is assisted by the favourable financial
statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer
last night. Prices attained a fresh rise of I per cent
this morning, and are now quoted per cent. higher
than they closed yesterday. After touching 943 to
3, Console are now firm at 943 to 3 for the 4th of
June. For money, the price is 943 to 3. The
scrip of the New Loan roes to 2 to 23 prem., and is
now quoted at 13 to 2 prem. The Three per Cents.
Redacted have been dealt in at 93 to 3; the,
New Three per Cents. at 93! to 3; the New Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 78; Bank Stook at 2133 to
216; the March Exchequer Bills at par; and the
June Bills at Bs. to 21. die., showing a further
recovery. _ _ _

Turkish Six per Ceuta. are firm at 981 b 99, and
the Four per Conte. at 1021 to I. Other foreign
securities are also well supported. Buenos
Ayres Bonds have been dealt in at 77 ;
Granada Deferred at 71 to 71 ; Maxima at
231 for money, and 231 to I for the 30th inst.;
Russian Four-and-a-Half par Cents. (Small Bonds)

at 95k; Sardinian Five per Cents. at 931 to 941;
and Spanish New Defenad Three per Cents. at 25
to 25k.

The further important snm of 200,0001. in gold
was yesterday purchased by the Bank.
The amount of specie brought in by the Arabia,
from New York, is stated at as much as 190,6701.,
the exchange on England remaining firm.
Of the spews brought in by the Parana, about one
half appears to (midst of gold, and the other half of
silver.

The Madrid has taken out 18,8434 in specie to the
Peninsula, and the Atria°, 9,7694, chiefly in silver,
to the West Indies, &o.
Owing to the continued demand for silver for
India, the total amount of specie and bullion shipped
on board the Pees, which is to leave Southampton to-
, day for Alexandria, is as much as 639,2421. Of
this, only 7,9211. is in gold, the remaining 531,3211.
consisting entirely of silver. The particulars are
subjoined, vis.:—For Alexandria, gold, 6,7664; for
Bombay, silver, 276,8771.; fur Ceylon, silver, 1941.,
and gold, 1,7681. ; for Madras, gold, 4001., and silver,
24,7301.; and for Calcutta, silver, 229,6201.
Telegraphic intelligence has been received that at
the meeting of the Royal Swedish Railway Company,
held on Saturday at Orebro, in Sweden, the resolu-
tions adopted at the last London meeting were con-
firmed. The amendments in the statutes as proposed
by the new board were also adopted.
Accounts from Canada mention that the Hon.
William Napier, as the representative of the com-
mittee of shareholders and board of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada, was to receive an
answer from the government on the 6th inst. Re-
ports are freely circulated that arrangements of a na-
ture beneficial to the company will be made.
The advice. from Paris communicate some further
particulars relative to the great projected Spanish
railway, with 'capital of 4,800,0004, subscriptions for
which are now open in London and Paris. The
company's system is to consist of two principal
amalgamated lines. One of these is the railway
from Madrid to Saragossa, lately conceded to the
Great Central of France Railway Company, and to
the mercantile and industrial society which has been
recently formed by the principal Spanish bankers, and
by Messrs. Rothschild, Brothers, of Paris. The other
portion of the trunk line is to extend from Madrid
to the Mediterranean; the concession was obtained

last year by the lame parties. The Madrid-Bara-
=ins will be 360 kilometres long, and that from
to the Mediterranean 463 kilometres, of

which 278 kilometres, between Madrid and Albariete,
are now in operation, whilst the 177 kilometres
beyond Albacete are in course of construction. The
total length of the lines actually conceded to this
Spanish Railway Company is thus 818 kilometres. As
a subventioa in aid of the Madrid-Saregassa line the
Spanish government is to pay the company 66,250 f.
(say 2,2101.) per kilom. As contracts have been
made by the railway company with the Mercantile'
and Industrial Society of Madrid for the complete
construction of this line at the price of 207,600 f.
(8,3001.) per idiom., including permanent way, plant,
and rolling stock, the government subvention will re-
does the eon to the railway company to 152,250 f.
(6,0901.) per idiom. The section from Madrid to the
Mediterranean is estimated to cost 180,000 f.
(7,2001.) par kilous., so that the average coat
to the company of the entire line will be
about 170,000 L (6,8001.) per idiom. This latter)
section will traverse the provincesof New Castile,'
La Manche, Marcia, and Valencia, the sea terminus
being at Alicante, whence branches will be made to
the cities of Valencia and Carthagena. Projects are
also under the consideration of the Cortes for adding
to the system fresh extensions to Andalusia and the
&ender of Portugal. The Madrid-Samosas line
will traverse some of the chief manufacturing dis-
triots of Spain, and will work in harmony with the
railway now in coarse at construction between Sara-
gems and Barcelona, and also with the steam nano.'
tine of the Ebre. The Spanish government further
engages to extend the line speedily to the Pyrenees.
The promoters in their estimates of the revenue of
the line when completed count upon the traffic
between France and Algeria and Portugal.
The arrangements for the withdrawal of the
troops from the Crimea now engage the earnest
attention of government. A notice has just hese
issued by the Admiralty intimating that on the 22nd
instant they will receive tenders for the hire of ships
(number not specified) for conveyance of troops and
stores from the Crimea to the United Kingdom. The
Admiralty will also receive tenders to-morrow (Taw
day) for conveyance of stores (shells, combustibles,
powder, ball ammunition, &o.) from the River Thames
to Gibraltar, Sierra Leone, Cape Town, Hoog Kong,
Sydney (N.B. W.), Grenada, New Brunswick, New-
foundland, Quebec, Bermuda, Trinidad, and Rio
Janeiro; and for the conveyance from Cork of I
officers and 226 men of the 69th Foot to Hong Kong.

MOICDAT EVRNINO.
The funds today showed much buoyanoy, purchases
decidedly preponderating. The closing quotations
were the highest of the day, and fully j per cent.
above those of Saturday. It will be seen from the
report, given in another column, of today's proceed-
ings et the Treasury, that the contract for the five
million loan in Consols has been taken by MOMS.
Rothschil and Sons at the government minimum
rate, which is equal to 99 per cent. The offer at first
made by Messrs. Rothschild, which was equivalent
to nearly 99i per seat., wee refused. The price of
93 per cent., although high, does not seem to
have caused merlons disappointment to the sub-
scribers, in face of the buoyancy of the
stock market. The smallness of the loan,
the exFootation of a favourable financial Nutmeat
from government to-night, and the steady arrivals of
gold, all contribute to induce a coefideut feeling.
Public attention is also struck by the evidence which
this loan subscription affords of the abundant finan-
cial resources of the country. We are enabled to
state that the aggregate subscriptions have amounted
to no less than jbrty millions sterling. The total
would have been mach larger were it not that many
persons were deterred from applying by a well-
founded apprehension that the excessive competi-
tion would necessitate a serious curtailment of the
allotment to each subscriber. It is in this respect
that disappointment is chiefly expressed. The mem-
bers of the Stook Exchange appear to have received
spew an avenge onataills of the amount for which
they bad subscribed, but the general public have
obtained a smelter proportion. (oneiderieg the rush
to participate in the loan, this disappointment was
inevitable, and moat parties express an opinion that
the allotment has, on the whole, been very fairly
made.
Despite the large we of money tempogarily
looked up, there wee no pressure today in Lombard.
street or elsewhere. The surplus de is on the loin
will be receivable by the submibers tomorrow
(Tuesday).
The scrip of the new loam was freely dealt in dur-
isg the greater part of the day at li to li prem.

The market for Exchequer Bills showed a sensible
tendency towards recovery this afternoon. The Jane
issue has rallied from 10s. to 4.. dia., to 7e. to 3s. die.,
whilst the March bills were parobased at par. Ex-
chequer Bonds remain steady at 981 to 1.
In the foreign stock market steadiness matinees to
prevail. Dutch stocks rose 1 per cent. Buenos
Ayres Bonds show a farther advance, closing at 78
Ito 79. Spanish Deferred Three per Cents. rose 1 per
neat. Turkish Six per Cents. left off about percent.
higher than on Saturday, at 981 to 99, whilst the
Guaranteed Four per Cents. remain steady, at 107}

The corn market to-day was rather flit. For some
descriptions of Eaglish wheat a decline of Is. per
quarter was submitted to. Only one floating cargo
of grain has arrived off the coast.
