Two o'CLocE.

The railway share market to-day is extraordinarily
heavy, and very unsettled in character. Quotations
are difficult to obtain, and in many instances wide
" margins " are quoted. Compared with the 4 o'clock
quotations of Thursday, the reduction amounts to be-
tween 3 and 4 per cent. us Berwick and York and North
Midland stooks, aboat 3 per sent. in Caledonian, ilk
per cent. in Midised and Great Western, 2 per cent.
in London and North Western and Lanaishire and
Yorkshire, and 11 to 2 per cent in many of the
other leading descriptions. Present quotations are u
follows :—London and North Western stook,9ltto ;
Great Western, 66 to El Midland, 98} to 1
Lanceshire sad Yorkshire, 90/ to 1 ; Caledonian,
881 to ; Berwick, 88 to 87 ; York and North Mid-
land, 70 to 72; Eastern Counties, 66 to I ; South
Eastern, 191 to 1 per share; and London and
South Western, 891 to 90.
In French and Lombardo-Venetian railway shares
an immense fall has taken place. For the former
trustworthy quotations oan namely be procured.
Lombardo-Venetian old shares are quoted 11 to 11
die.; and the New, 2to die. In Canadian,
Indian and all foreign railway securities a great fall
has likewise been established, am a reference to the
list of sales will show.

MONEY MABEET.-THIS DAY.

The &cresol in the reserve, reducing the siggre
gste of that item to 1O millions, is almost solely at-
tributable to the withdrawal of • portion of the
large deposits which were temporarily lodged in the
Bank during the preview' week upon the payment
of the dividends. The deoresse in the °taws wen.
titles indicates that the Bank obtain only a mode-
rate proportion of the current business of the market.
The bullion shows the effect of the continued drain
to the Continent.

Two o'lhocti.
Immense excitement prevail' to-day in the Stook
Exchange. The markets are excessively "
and unsettled ; quotations are very difficult
to obtain ; and for many daises of
securities there is absolutely no market at present,
In every class of stock and share property a
most serious fall has taken piece. The
English fends have been gradually declining
throughout the morning, and now stand at
the lowest point of the day, which shows a redac-
tion of 14 per cent., compared with the latest
prices of Thursday, and • reduction of
4 per cent. compared with the last (but unauthorised)
price of Saturday. The leading English railway
stocks have fallen 2 to 3 per cent., and some classes
of foreign stocks 8 or 9 per cent. In French and
Lombardo-Venetian railway shares a panic prevails.
Consols opened at 934 to 94 for the 6th of May,
and have gradually fallen, being now quoted 93
to 4. For money the price may be coa-
-1 sidetred nearly the same as for the account.
Reek Stock has been dealt in at 223 to 2241 ; the
Three per Cents. Reduced, at92l to 4; the New Three
per Cents., at 921 to 4 ; India Stock at 220;
the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of last year.
at 951 to 96; India Bonds, at 2e. die. to 2a. prem.;
and Exchequer Bills, at 324. to 35a. prem.
In the foreign stock market the transactions have
been rather limited, owing principally to the dif-
ficulty of effecting sales. In every instance a great
redaction in price has taken place. For
Turkish securities, for instance, as well u for some
other descriptions, there is at present literally no
market. The Old Turkish Six per Cents. were
marked in the morning 82 and 80, ex div., and the
loan of last year 70 and 66. The nearest price that
can be quoted at the present moment are 76 to 78
for the former, and 66 to 68 for the latter. The fall
compared with the 4 o'clock quotations of Thursday,
amounts to Bto 10 per cent. A reduction of 7to
8 par cent. has likewise taken place in Sardinian,
transactions being recorded in this stock at 691 and
70. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old
Five per Ceuta., 99,ex div.; ditto Five per Cents., 182 e.
and 1839, 98 ; ditto Four-and.a-Half per Cents., I
1858, 94, 921; Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 79;
ditto Deferred Bonds, 18 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Cer-
tificates, 96; Mexican Three per Cents., for amount,
1911 Romig Four-and4-Half per Cents., 98; Sar-
dinian Five per Cents., 691, 70 ; Spanish New
Deferred Three per Cents., for account,
294 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for to-
aunt, 82, 80, ex div. ; ditto Six per Cente.,l
1858, for account, 70, 68; Venezuela Deferred
Two per Cents., 161.
The New Indian Loan is quoted 93 to 4, or 2 to
11 dia.
The steamers ',Persia, Kangaroo, and Alpe have
brought as much as 361,4001. in specie from New
York.
The Calcutta and China mails will be delivered
on Wednesday morning.
QUARTER-PAST TWO.
The telegrams from Paris have just come
to hand. According to Mr. Renter's message the
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted before the
opening of the Bourse 636% 76c., fell to 63fr. 404,
and were quoted at 11.66 63fr. 65c. Com-
pared with the closing quotations of Saturday, a
11 bad 11 per cent. is shown.
Rentes were first done yesterday on the Boulevards
et 64fr. 80c., fell to 64fr. 300., and the last transac-
tion was at 64fr. 40c., being a fall of 4 since Satur-
day's closing price. Austrian Railway 7fr. and
Lombardo-Venetian sfr. lower.
CLOSLNG PRICES OF THE FUNDS.
CITY, Fora O'CLOCK.
Extreme depression continues, and Consols have
further declined, being now quoted 921 to 93, both
for money and the May account.
In the discount market and at the Bank on Ss.
turday there was a fair demand, but no pressure
whatever.
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank en,
Saturday for exportation was 120,0001., making a
total of 200,000/. since the date of the return just
published.
The imports of the precious metals last week I
were very small. Our list includes 6,2501. by the
Niagara, from Baton; 18,9501. by the Indus, from
Alexandria; 2,7101. by the Tagus, from the Penin-
sula ; 25,000 sovereigns from Constantinople; and
7 cues of silver coin, by the Lana, from Oporto.
These arrivals represent &total value of only about
66,0001. Large supplies of silver continue to be
withdrawn from the Continent, in payment for which
gold is taken from the Bank.
It is believed that the remittances of silver by the
Bombay packet of the 27th will be considerably
below those lately despatched. The remittance on
government account will also beamaller.
Advice; from Constantinople announce that a
permanent council has been formed to enlist the
Minister of Finance. It consists of six members—
viz., three Turks, Feed Pacts,
Rushdi Pacha, and
Mahmotid Pacha, all of whom are well known—and
three Europeans, Mr. F. de P. Falconnet, M. Lech-
enbacher, the Austrian banker, besides a French
member, 'to be hereafter recommended by the French
government. M. Alleon had declined the poet. The
minister will preside over the council. Ihe intro-
duction of the European element can scarcely fail to
be attended with some satisfactory results.
The traffic on the Trieste line of the Lombardo-
Venetian Railway Company. for the week ending the
16th inst. was 42,3451., against 20,6861. for the cor-
responding week of last year ; and on the Lombudo-
Venetian line, 14,0891., against 8,8481. The bulk of
the increase probably consists of military traffic.
The nominal quotation of Ottoman Bank shares
on Saturday was 174 to 181.
Two extraordinary general meetings of the
Brighton Railway Company are called for the 9th
of May, to consider bills pending in parliament, and
to sanction the purchase of the West-end of London
and Crystal Palace Railway.
The particulars are published of bonds of the Pe-
ruvian Three per Cent. Loan, to the amount of
60,8001., which have been cancelled under the half-
yearly redemption fund. The sum available for the
purpose was 44,2731.
The particulars are also published of 14 bonds of
the Swedish Provincial Mortgage Loan of 1832,
which will be paid off at par on the lit of June.
It appears that the British garrisons in the Medi.
tagneen are to be strengthened. The Admiralty
will receive tenders on the 28th inst. for the con-
veyance of a regiment of about 850 men, with a pro.
portion of officers, soldiers' wives, and children, from
Portsmouth to Corfu, and a regiment of similar
strength to Malta or Gibraltar. Tenders are also
required for the conveyance of stores to Algot Bay,
Ascension, the Bahamas,
dace,
Gibraltar, Hea-
dline, Jamaica, Colombo, Falkland Islands, Hobart
Thorn, Hong. Kong, Mauritius, Sierra Leese, Syd-
ney, St. Lucia, Accra, and Cape Coast Castle.

BATCIWAT sviotnie

As was to be expected, great excitement prevailed,
and a severe fall was quoted in nearly every class of
stock dealt in. Consols, which closed on Thursday,
at 941 to 1 for the sth of May, were quoted at 10 •
o'clock this morning 931 to t, large transactions
taking place at 931. At 11 o'clock the quotation
was 931 to t, and bargains are stated to have been
entered into subsequently as high as 94. At the
dose the market wee heavy, at 931, " buyers," being
per cent. lower than on Thursday afternoon.
For foreign stocks no quotations were generally
made, but an idea of the depreciation may be gathered
from the fact that the Turkish Six per Cents. of
1854 were quoted 81 to 83, and those of 1858, 71 to
73. The reduction, compared with Thursday's
prices, amounts to 4 or 6 per cent.
For most other classes of securities the prices were
little more than nominal, but dealings to some extent
took place in Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares.
These, as well as French and British railway stocks,
were quoted greatly lower than on Thursday.
The Indian Government Four per Cent. Deben-
tures, just issued, were nominally quoted 931 to t,
or say It to 11 per cent. discount.
The new Four-and-a-Ralf per Cent. Debentures of
the East Indian Railway Company were quoted
to 1 discount.
