MONEY M4REET.-21118 DAY

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day are very inanimate, and some
heaviness prevails. Consols are now quoted I per
cent lower than they closed yesterday. The re-
newed depression of the Paris Bourse has consider-
able effect.

In the other departments of the Stock Exchange,
business, especially that of a speculative character,
is restricted within very narrow limits. The ten
dency of prices to-day is drooping.
The opening prim of the Three per Cent. Rent',
at Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram,
was 621 r. 60c. en div., fur the account, but the
quotation quickly receded to 62fr. 45c., being 1 per
cent. lower than at the close yesterday afternoon,
and 1 per cent lower than at mid-day yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 921 and 921, ex die.,
for the Bth July. The present quotation is 921 to
1. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 221 ;
the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 931
to 1 ; the New Three per Cents., at 93e to
1; the Indian Four per Cent. Deben-
tares of last year, at 941 to 96; the Scrip of
the New Indian Loan, at 931 to 1; and Exchequer
Bills, at 23a to 27e. prem.
The foreign stock market is quiet, and prices in
some instances show a tendency to reaction. This is
especially the cue with Turkish securities.
The Old Loan has fallen 11 to 2 per cent,
and the New 1 to 11 per sent., the former being
quoted 76 to 76, and the latter 611 to 621.
Sales are recorded as follows:—Brezilian Five
per Cents., 1829 and 1839, 100; Belgian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 931 (exch. 26fr.); Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 631 (exch. 121.); Eqlsdor
New Consolidated Bonds, 161 ; Mexican Three per
Cents., for account, 181, 181; New Granada Active
Bonds, 17 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
961; Spanish Three per Cents., 421, 421 ; ditto,
Passive Bonds, 81; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1864, for acct., 761, 77; ditto, Sik per Cents., 1868,
for account, 621, 63 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per
Cents., 1031.

Austria has publicly broken faith with her credi-
tors. An Imperial decree orders that the dividends
on the "National Loan" contracted some seven or
eight years ago, which were specially agreed to be
paid in specie, shall, daring the continuance of the
war, be paid, coot in specie, but in the depreciated
and fluctuating paper of the empire. To render the
spoliation less flagrant, however, 123 florins in paper
will be paid for every 100 florins in specie. The
depreciation of the paper currency being considerably
in excess of the proportion here designated, and
being doubtless even aggravated by the present
announcement, parti►l confiscation is the only term
applicable to the proceeding. Austria, however,
gives these holders of her bonds an option, which
few of them will probably be verdant enough to
accept. If they please, they may take, in lieu of di-
vidends, new Government paper redeemable with
compound interest five years hence! It would, of
course, take only • stroke of the pen to make this
notification apply as well to the Austrian loans par-
tially placed in London, or even to suspend divi-
dends on every class of the debt, and issue in lieapro-
wises to pay with compound interest at any period
sufficiently remote for the convenience of the go-
vernment. When a state has once entered on a
spoliatory course, what guarantee can there be for its
adhering to any portion of its engagements?
ff N The set”

it that Mr. Gladstone is to be
the new Chancellor of the Exchequer has not been
received with unqualified satisfaction in the City,
notwithstanding the respect universally felt for the
right honourable gentleman's character. Sir G. C.
Lewis was pointed to by the popular finger.

In commercial channels the supply of money is
not so heavy as of late, but, as the terms for the best
bills are still fully per cent, below the Bank
minimum, the applications at that establishment
have not revised.

Of the large renittanoes lately received from
Americo, 140,0001. was sold yesterday for the Con-
tinent.

The treasure ex her Majesty's ship Alert has at
length reached Southampton, the steamer La Plata
having brought in all the enormous sum of 630,5001.,
of which 410,5001. is silver, and 120,0001. gold.
This supply cannot be delivered natil the middle of
next week. _ _ .

The steamer Zebra, which is due at London
to-day, from Cronstadt, has fully 80,000!. in
gold, which, it is expected, will be followed by other
amounts per the steamers Kief, Emperor, and Her-
cules. The extent of the future remittances in specie
will probably depend upon the coarse of the ex•
change, which it is the object of these consignments
to support. It is well known that within the last
two or three weeks, one house entrusted with the
orders of the Russian government, that of Messrs.
Thomson, Boner, and Co., has imported several
hundred thousand pounds sterling in gold. Hence
the recent recovery in the exchange to a point much
less unfavourable for Russia. According to the
latest advice. from St. Petersburg, a stimulating in-
fluence was likewise being exercised on the exchange
by large arrivals of produce from the interior, and of
vessels to carry this produce away.
The China Telegraph mentions the reoeipt of 30
bales of Japanese silk.
In connexion with the lamented stoppage of Messrs.
Rawson, Sons, and Co., notified a twelvemonth
ago a circular from the London representative
of ;he corresponding firm at Singapore (that of
Messrs. Ker, Rawson, and Co.) communicates the
gratifying and creditable fact that all the drafts of
the latter on the Loudon house, amounting to up-
, wards of 200,0001., have been retired. The circular
of the 16th December last, alluded to in the sub-
joined, declared that the firm at Singapore were " in
a position to meet the whole of their liabilities, even
on the improbable supposition that nothing beyond
the dividend of ss. in the £ already paid, be received
from the estate of Messrs. Rawson, Sone, and Co."
This promise has been honourably fulfilled.
Of the members of the Stock Exchange who
lately failed, 22 have now been enabled to comply
with the rules and have been readmitted._

The traffic returns continue good. The Eastern
Counties Railway traffic return shows this week an
increase of 1,2631.: the Midland an increase of 3,809, ;
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an in-
crease of 1,0991. • the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an
increase of 2,39.84. ; the East Lancashire, an increase
of 6391.; and the North Eastern and Newcastle and
Carlisle as increase of 3,120!.
The directors of the National Provincial Bank of
England have declared a half-yearly dividend, at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, and also a bonus
of 71 per cent., payable on the 14th July.
A meeting of proprietors of the London end Wes'-
minster Bank is called for the 20th July. Mr. W.
S. Higley, who has been for twenty years in the
service of the bank, bas been appointed manager at
the head establishment in Lothbury, in the place of
the late Mr. W. T. Henderson; Mr. Gilbert re-
maining general manager.
The eighth ordinary general meeting of the
Crystal Palace Company is called for the 30th inst.
The Danish financial agents advertise the half-
yearly interest on Zealand Railway shares. At the
meeting of this company, held at Copenhagen last
month, it war resolved to construct a line from Co-
penhagen to Klampenberg.
The Great Luxembourg Company announce the
half-yearly interest on their obligations.
