MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoow..

The funds retain a tendency towards Improve-
ment. Today an advance of per cent, has been
established. The government broker continues to
make small investments daily. In the share
markets also a somewhat better feeling prevails,
but in English railway stocks the upward movement
is very slow.

Consols for the Bth of April were first marked 981,
and have advanced within the bat half hoar to 97 to
For money the present quotation is 961 to 97. India
Stock for the account has been dealt in at 220 ;
Exchequer Bills at 38s. to 425. prem.; and India
Bonds at 2415. to 30s. prem. .

Turkish Six per Cents, are quiet, but have im-
proved to 1011 to 1021. Other foreign stocks are
generally well supported, and business in
this department exhibits some symptons of revival.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres De-
ferred Three per Cents., 18; Dutch Two•and{-Half
per Cents., 831 (exch. 126.); do., Four per
Cent. Certifs. 101 ; Equador New Con-
solidated Bonds, 14; New Granada Active
Bonds, 191; ditto Deferred, ; Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 801, ex div. ; ditto for ac-
count (29th March), 801, ex div. ; Russian Five per
Cents., 110/, ex div. ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 100/ ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account,
441; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for ac-
count,26l; Venezuela Active Bonds, 33 ; ditto, for
account, 33; ditto Deferred, 121.

At Paris, to-day (Wednesday), acoording to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69.40 for the account, showing a decline
of be. The Bourse is described, however, as
"rather animated and firm."

The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has
brought 249,3921. in specie.
Apart, altogether, from political considerations,
there are some features connected with the money
market calculated to stimulate confidence. In two
days a million sterling in gold has arrived off the
coast. As the price of silver has at the manse time
fallen—a circumstance which must tend to dis-
courage, for the present, extensive withdrawals of
silver from the Continent—it seems reasonable to
anticipate that the Continental exchanges will
assume more firmness, and that a fair proportion of
these enormous gold arrivals will be retained here.
There is thus a prospect of the stock of gold in the
Bank being speedily carried over eighteen millions
sterling. Considering the prolonged absence of any
commercial demand for money at the Bank, a reduc-
tion of the minimum rate of discount of that esta-
blishment from 3 to 2} per cent. may be looked for
from week to week.

The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday,
after deducting a small withdrawal, was 46,000/.

...
In the discount market there is a moderate de-
mand for money, at 21 to 2i per cent. for first class
bills; but at the Bank yesterday the applications were
scanty.
In the Stock Exchange yesterday 2 per cent. per
annum was paid in some cases for loans on govern-
ment securities, the demand having somewhat
increased.

Yesterday the Tyne arrived from the Brazils with
294,2501. in specie, and the Bent from Melbourne (in
88 days) with 48,215 ounces, worth 192,8001. These
remittances represent a total of 487,6601., or, inclu-
sive of the arrivals reported on Monday, an aggregate
of about 980,0001. Of the gold by the Tyne a con-
siderable portion is believed to consult of sovereigns,
which will be sent into the Bank.

The 192,3791. in Australian gold ez the steamer
Teviot reached London yesterday, and about 10,0001.
was taken for exportation to the Continent. The
272,3001. brought from Melbourne by the Blackwall
will be delivered to-day, and a portion will pro-
bably be sent into the Bank as soon as it can be
refined.

A sum of 4,2601. in specie is known to have been
shipped by the Tagus for the Peninsula. The
amount placed on board the Orinoco, for the West
Indies, is 6,6601.

A total Of at least 70,0001. in Russian gold is ex-
pected to arrive in the Thames from St. Petersburg
during the next three or four days.
The bar silver ex the steamer Parana was /told
yesterday at tie. 1;d. per canoe standard, showing the
important reduction of Id. per ounce compared with
the price realised for the remittance by the previous
packet. This decline is accounted for by the non-
receipt of any intelligence from Calcutta and China,
coupled with the news reported by telegram of a
decline in the Bombay exchange. The balk of the
silver brought by the Parana is stated to have been
taken for transmission to Copenhagen. to meet a
payment is connexion with the Sound dues. It is
believed that the shipments of silver to the East by
the steamer Pera, on the 20th inst., will be consi-
derably below recent remittances.

Aboirt 60,0001. in silver has arrived in the Thames
within the last day or two from the Continent.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally firm. The rates for paper on Amsterdam
were quoted rather higher. Draft on Paris were in re-
gnat, and for three months' dates rather lower terms
were current; but bills on several of the other lead-
ing Continental cities remained unsold at the close
of Change, in the absence of demand. The following
may be given u the current prices :
Amsterdam, three months, 11.17 to 1 ; do., short,
11.14 is 15 ; Rotterdam, three months. 11.17 to 1 ;
Antwerp, three months. 25.271 to 30; Hamburg, marks
banal, three months, 13.6 to 1 ; Paris, three days sight,
25.6 to 121 ; ditto, three months, 25.321 to 71 ; Frankfort-oa-
ths-Maine, three months, 1181 to 1; Petersburg. we
rouble, three menthe, 36 ; Vienna, ed. do., three months,
10.28 to 31; Trieste, do., three months, 10.28 to 32;
three swaths, AI to I ; Cadiz, three months, 421
to I ; three months, 29.70 to 6 ; Genoa, throe
months, .621 to 6 ; Naples, three months, 411 to ;
Palenno,lthres months, 1241 to 1 ; Messina, three months,
124+ to 6; Lisboa, 90 days, 611 to ; Oporto, 90 days,
61 to I.
The amount of bills drawn by the East India
Company on India, from the 9th to the 15th inst.
(yesterday), is 1,0001. only—all on Bengal.
The directors of the Ottoman Bank have published
their report. Owing to the recent critical state of
trade, the directors, from prudential motives, issued
orders for a great contraction of the company's
business, a course which naturally involved a
diminution of profits. Losses by bad debts were
also incurred; and against these (including doubtful
debts), 12,0001. is set aside. After appropriating
1,0001. towards the preliminary expenses, a net
profit of 6,1361. is shown for the half-year. Adding
the amount brought forward from the previous half-
year, a total balance of 21,1651 is shown ; but, con-
sidering the fluctuations in the exchanges and other
circumstances, no dividend is recommended. The
suggestion of the beard is that 20,000/. be set apart
as the nucleus of a reserve fund, and that the ba-
lance of 1,1631. be carried forward.
The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank
have recently declared a dividend for the past six
months at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, to
which they have subsequently added a bonus of ten
shillings per sham ; making a total distribution at
the rate of 12 per cent. per annum.
Pursuant to the invitation contained in the cir-
cular published in the Express of the 18th inst.,
a meeting of shareholders in the unfortunate North
of Europe Steam Navigation Company took place
yesterday at the offices of the company; Mr. Philip
Caxenove prided. Amongst the gentlemen pre-
sent were ?dears. Morrison, Bagshaw, Abel, Malins,
and about thirty others. At an early stage of the
proceedings it was intimated that, as they would
partake of the character of a private conference
amongst parties interested in the undertaking, the re-
porters for the press ought tobe excluded. This step Ina
acoordingly adopted. The object of the meeting
was apparently to confer as to the measures proper
to be adopted for the resuscitation of the company,
which, after bein represented by the directors urn
a sound and satisfactory condition, is, in reality, is
fermis. After a long and warm discussion, it was
by Mr. Taylor, and seconded by Colonel
proposed
(who proposed the former committee of

shareholders), that a committee, consisting of Colo-
nel Hervey, Mr. John Yates, and Mr. Jackson (the
partner of Sir S. M. Peto), be appointed to consult
with the Board of Directors, with a view to avoiding
the louse attendant upon a forced liquidation, and
to endeavouring to form a new company. In the
course of the proceedings a letter was read from Sir
S. M. Peto, who, in the present excited state of the
shareholders' minds, considers it unadvisable to at-
tend personally at either of the meetings called for
this week.

At an extraordinary meeting of the General Iron
Screw Collier Company yesterdaiiresolution was
unanimously adopted for the win •
up of theun-
dertaking, and a committee of share older§ was ap-
pointed to carry out this object.
The half-yearly dividends are advertised on the
An 10-Peruvian Three per Cent. Deferred Bonds,
and on the Chilian Biz and Three per Cents. The
particulars of the sinking fund of the Chili= low
are also published.

TUESDAY ZEINEDIE.
The funds to-day were firmer in character. At
one period an advance of 1 per cent. was attained,
and, although symptoms of hesitation were observ-
able at the close, the result of the day's transactions
was an improvement of rather more than 1. per cent.
The ministerial assurances that the difficulty with
France is at an end contributed chiefly to the im-
proved feeling, which extended into most other de-
partments of the Stock Exchange. The market
least affected was that for English railway stocks, in
which any tendency towards recovery seems to be
met by sales, based upon the decline in the traffic.
The provincial markets were also reported heavy.
Indian rally* shares were sensibly better, the late
fall having induced purchases.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 961 to / for
the Bth of April, opened this morning at 981 to 1,
advanced to 97, and closed at 98k, " sellers." For
money the last price was 98/ "seen." The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cant.
Consols, for money, 961, /, f, 1,1, ditto, for
account (Bth April), 961, 981, 97. India stock
(shut), 220, 223.
The New Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were also
officially marked 801 to 811.
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 38s. to 425. prem.
India Bonds were dealt in at 255. to 295. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. were better to-day. At
4 o'clock the quotation was 101/ to 102 for the 29th
inst., but after that hour a relapse to 1011 to I took
place. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. may be
quoted 104 to 1. Buenos Apes Bonds were more
offered. Other foreign securities exhibited steadiness.
