MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAL

Two o'Ciotz.

The continued rise on the Paris Bourse is ac-
cepted as an indication of the favourable course of
politics abroad, and has given a decided stimulus
to the emit markets. Buoyancy prevails to-day
in most departments of the Stock Exchange, not-
withstanding the continued inactivity of business.
Consols have risen k per cent, and are firm at the
advance. All the principal British railway stocks
have improved, particularly Lancashire and York-
shire. The upward movement extends to Lom-
bardo-Venetiau, Dutch Rhenish, Antwerp and
Rotterdam, and Canadian railway shares.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
69fr. We., being I tot per cent, better than yes-
terday afternoon.

Consols are officially marked 93k, and for
money, and 93i, and it for the account. The pre-
sent quotations are 931 for cash, and on to
for the 11th instant. The official business re-
port is as follows :—lndia Five per Cent. stock,
1869, 104, I, ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1859, 96i; ; ditto Bonds, is., 3e., dis. ;
Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 94 ; ditto
Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1021 ; Exchequer Bills,
as. prem.

In the foreign stock market, the only move-
ment of importance is a rise in New
Granada Bonds. Turkish remain dull : the issue
of 1854 is quoted73l t 074, and that of 1858, 56 to
Sales are recorded as follows :—Ne.v Gra-
nada Active, 18, 171 ; ditto Deferred, 7,
61, 7 ; Peruvian Three per Cents., for
account, 731 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 931 ; ditto Three per Cents., 1659,
631 ; Spanish Three per Cents. for account, ;
ditto New Deferrred Three per Cents., 39g ;
Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents., 101 i.
Business at the discount-office at the Bank: of
England yesterday was quiet, but in the general mar-
ket a good demand was experienced. The best bills
were discounted at 31 to 4 per cent.
At Vienna on Monday the Five per Cent. Me-
tallies sustained a fresh decline of per cent.
It appears that the purchases for the sinking
fund of the Peruvian Three per Cent. debt have
not yet commenced, the price being held at a point
somewhat above the views of the Peruvian agents.
The supply of stock in the market appears to be
scan
The shipments of specie by the steamer Pera,
which will leave to-morrow, amount to 89,6291.,
all silver except 3,0671. The particulars are as
follows :—For Madras, gold, 3,0671. ; Calcutta,
silver, 10,12 W.; Singapore, silver, 5,000 f.; Hong
Kong, silver, 35,8751. ; and for shanghai, silver,
35,5671.
The Mexican dollars by the Tasmanian, amount-
ing to about 1,000,0001. sterling, were sold yester-
day at ss. IN. per ounce, being gd. below the price
realised fur the remittance by the previous Mexican
packet. In the interval, however, transactions
have occurred at ss. 2441, sa. 21d., and sm. 2'd.
The rate now obtained is considened a favourable
one, looking at the magnitude of the supply and the
prospect that, had it been melted and sold as silver,
it would have fetched only La. per ounce, or n per
cent. below the price now realised. It is under-
stood that a portion has been taken on account of
the English and French governments for shipment
to China. The bar silver by the Tasmanian re-
maius unsold.

On Chauge yesterday afternoon, bills on the Conti-
nent were again in fair demand and the tendency in
one or two Lista:lces was rather adverse. Very
little alteration occurred, however, in the rates.

A number of large shareholders in the Great
Ship Company met the directors yesterday by invi-
tation, to consider and determine on future opera-
tions, and a statement of their decision with he re-
port of the Board of Trade will be published in the
papers by the directors. The decision in brief,
was to detain the ship at Milford Haven during the
winter, to lay a new deck, introduce a warming
apparatus, and make a thorough and proper com-
pletion of the main screw shaft bearings. The
Board of Trade reported the hull of the ship as
perfect. No additunial capital is believed to be re-
quired.
A telegram announces that the total receipts of
the Groat Western Railway of Canada for the week
ending Sept. 21, wore 17,724 sterling, being no less
than 8,8011. more than for the corresponding week
of last year. The visit of the Prince of Wales has
doubtless contributed to thi; remarkable increase.
A considerable amount of business has been done
lately in the Western Extension 101. Preference
shares of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way Company, which were quoted to-day to I

capital relates to the suction of the line between
Stroud and St. Mary's Cray.
