MONEY MARKET,-(TED3 DAY.)

On oPessou.

The stook saarkete meant a quiet appearases
to-day, and few variations are observable in piess.
The Foglia funds are rather flat and have de.
alined 1-16 to I per sent. British railways and
foreign bonds are mostly unaltered. Financial

shares rowan dull, at the decline of yederday.
Those of Overend, Gurney, and Co., however, ex-
hibit a fresh reduction of 2i. 6d. to 15e.

The demand for money to-day is not active, and
the rata for choice bills is somewhat lower, at 7i to
per mat. The charge in the Stook Exchange for
short loans on English government securities is 7 to
8 par cent.

Consols are quoted 861 to a for money and 86
13-16 to 1616, or 861, for the account (February 8).
For the new settlement on the Bth of March, the
pries is 874 to 4.
The dealings in the foreign stock market
are act important, and most of the specu-
lative descriptions are quoted the same as yes-
terday. The tendency of prices genially is
not unfavourable. There is a slight demand for
Italian bonds, which have improved per cent.
Tte• quotations are as follows :—Greek, 12a to 13;;
Italian, 614 to 4 ; Mexican, 201 to 21; Spanish Pas-1
sive, 25 to ; ditto Certificates, 131 to 14 ; Turkish,
1885, 39 to ; Brailian scrip, 4to 1 preen. ;
ltgyptian scrip, ato prem.
American neuritiss remain firm, but the only
alteration is a rise of a per cent. in 5-20 bonds, which
are now quoted 674 to a ; Erie Railway Shares
are called 534 to f ; and Illinois Central, 754 to 4.
International Financial shares are now quoted
par to prem., ex div. ; General Credit, la to
prem. ; London Financial, 1 to 01 die., ex dlr.;
Imperial Mercantile, / to la prom., ex div. ; Credit
Fonder and Mobilier, 34 to prom. ; Overend,
Gurney, and Company, 4to prom. ; and Joint
iStock Discount, 51 to 5 die.
In London Financial shares yesterday the fall was
more than 11. The cause of this further depreciation
anointed in the rumoured difficulties of another
large railway contractor, with liabilities computed
at between 1,000,0001. and 1,250,0001. There was
also considerable movement in the sham of Over-
end, Gurney, and Co., which advanced in the
morning, upon speculative repurchases, to 44 to 5
prem., and had relapsed at the close to 44 to 4 prem.
upon the rumour above referred to. It will be remarked
that, whenever a firm is said to be in difficulties,
there is always a rush of speculators eager to press
sales of the shares of the discount and financial
companies, without knowing anything of the
matters in question, but intent merely upon
snatching a hasty profit. It would appear that a
considerable outstanding speculation for a fall is
being formed in some of these securities, the market
for which will, therefore, become proportionately
stronger in character as soon as the present commo-
tion is over, and prices have adjusted themselves
upon a permanent basis. Amongst the movements
of the day were also a rise of 10s. in the shares of
the Egyptian Commercial and Trading Company,
and of 4 per cent. in Grand Trunk of Canada
Railway stock. It is said that many of the dealers
at Liverpool and Manchester, where the strings of
the recent great speculative advance in this stock
have been pulled, have been such large losers byl
it that they have come to a determination to close'
their books, and for the present to deal no more
in the stock, except in order to close outstanding
