MONEY MARKET.-2HIB DAY.

Two o'CLoci.

A farther important rise ham taken plan
today in the fund/. After attaining an ex-
treme advance of nearly 1 per cent., Consols
are now quotes] 1 to per cent. higher
than they closed yesterday. In the absence
of foreign news of striking importance, the absorption
of stock by the public has the principal effect.
With the exception of British railway stocks,
the late rise in which has provoked a number
of speculative realisations, other securities are
generally firm. Indian government, as well as
railway securities continue to meet with in-
quiry. Throughout the Stock Exchange, however,
there is a great lack of business.
Consols are officially marked 911 to 921 for money,
land 911 to 92 for the 7th of June. The present quo-
tation is 911 to; both for money and the amount.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been
dealt in at 901 to 911 ; the New Three per
Cents., at 90/ to 911 ; the Indian Four per
Cent. Debentures of last year, at 93; the scrip
of the New Indian Loan, at 921 to 93 ; India
Bonds, at 16e. to 20s. die. ; and Exchequer Bills, at
17s. to 23e. prem.
Shortly before the official opening of the Paris
Bourse this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram,
the Three per Cent. Bente@ were quoted at 80.70 for
the account, showing a decline of 1 per cent. com-
pared with the last price of yesterday.
The foreign stock market is very inactive,
yet retains the tendency to improvement lately
shown. Mexican, Spanish, Russian, and Sardinian
Bond. are more inquired for. The latter are
marked 74. Turkish securities are firm at yester-
day's advance, with a fair inquiry, the Old Six
per Cents, being quoted 84 to 88, and the New,
64 to 68. Sales are recorded as follows Ass-
trim Free per Cents., 391 ex dir. (exch., 1084 ;I
Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 181
to 181; Russian Fortr-and-a-Half per Cents., 93 ;
Sardinian Five per Cents., 74 ; Spanish New De- I
ferredThree per Cents., 261,28, 281 ; Turkish Six per
Cents., 1864, 88 ; ditto for amount, 86 ; ditto Six
per Cents., 1868, 68 ; ditto for amount, 66.

Consols are steady, although not quite so firm as
at 2 o'clock. For money the present price is 91/ to
1, and for the acoount, 911 to f.
The supply of money at the disposal of
the discount establishments is enormous. At the

Bank of England the applications yesterday were
to a considerable amount, but of an ordinary
character.

The gold withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for
exportation was only 12,0001. The 84,4001., in
Australian gold, by the Heatherbell, was, however, I
delivered yesterday, and was at ones taken for the
Continent.
The Great Britain and Sussex have arrived from
Melbourne, the former with 128,0001. in gold, and
the latter with 98,8001., making a total of 228,8001, '
which will doubtless be taken for the Continent as
soon as delivered in London.
The subscription list for the French Loan of
20,000,0001. was opened on Saturday, and is to be
closed on Sunday next, the 15th inst. The govern-
ment journals declare that the subscriptions on the
first day amounted to 12,000,0001. This is very pos-
sible. Every public body, and ever person in any
way open to goyernment influence, will be stimulated
to ptruoipate in the patriotic demonstration. In
many quarters the opportunity for a combination of
speculation with petriotiam will be embraced with
peculiar zest. Not a doubt can be entertained of the
complete success of the appeaL The prospects of
French finance, nevertheless, are viewed with the
greatest distrust.
The price of wheat, which ran up rapidly under
the influence of the false news which recently drove
Consols down to 881, is now falling u the foods rise.
Buyers yesterday offered 6s. to Bs. per qr. leas than
on the previous Monday, whilst in the sales effected
sellers submitted to a reduction of 3e. to
The advioss from Melbourne by the Great Britain

of the Monarch, with 42,848 minces of gold, worth

Stewart, and John and Lucy had also sailed foe this
country, and probably have a considerable a

ing the Australian mail steamer Emu, which was

premium of insurance been given on her.
Members of the Stock Exchange who have been
forced to effect compromises with their creditors are
allowed, by a resolution just adopted by the com-
mittee, until noon on Wednesday to complete their
engagements. Creditors whose claims shall not have

The reaped. of the indigo tale, which commences
