MONEI MARKET.-7 HIS DAY.

Two o'Ciacw.

The funds remain very quiet, at yesterday's
prices. Business throughout the Stock Ex-
change is stagnant, and there is no variation of
importance in prices. South Eastern Railway
stock has impoved.
At Paris to-day (Friday) according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes
opened at figr. 10c., being about per cent. lower
than yesterday afternoon. The Bourse is described
as " less firm on account of the article in the Con-
stittigionnet."

Consols are officially marked 931 and 931
for money, and 931 for the account. The
present quotations are 934 for cash, and
931 to 4 for the 9th of August. The
official business report is as follows :—Bank
Stock, 2294, 2284 ; Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 934, #, ; New Three per Cents., 93#,
4, f ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April,

and-a-Half per Cents., 1021 ; Exchequer Bills, 48.

to 77, and that of 1858, 592 to 601.

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-ir orrow (" continuation
da , and terminate on Tuesday.
In the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday, an adjudi-
cation was made against Mr. Joseph Hooper, leather
merchant and tanner.

A report of the stoppage of Mr. Jonathan Priest-
man, tanner, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, having appeared
in a contemporary, we are requested to state that it
is unfounded.
Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co. have favoured
us with the following report of the hide sales held
yesterday :
In submitting the result of the fifteenth series of public
sales for the year, and the second held since the mils in
the leather trade, it is gratifying to be able to state that,
notwithstanding lower prices in general have to be recorded,
the business traniacted must, on the whole, be regarded as
of a satisfactory and somewhat reassuring character.
EAST INDIA Or AND Cow.—Calcutta: The result of the
sales is similar to those held on the 12th instant, the prin-
cipal demand being for export, and confined chiefly to
Leavy, extra heavy, and third class hides, for which late
rates were obtain& The home trade on the contiery,
again purchased bat sparingly, anti on first and second clam
light bides we have to note • further decline of id. to, in
some instances, Id, per lb. Madras, Pondicherry, and Bom-
bay hides radioed folly late pries', but the quantity offered
was comparatively met The analysis of the sales is
58,588 Calcutta new percale, 30,714 brought forward from
former sales, sad 8,245 Madras, Pondicherry, and Bombay.
Of 93,527 Weiss of all descriptions offered, 48,852 were re-
ported sold.
EAST INDIA Beware were in fair request, and mostly
sold at about late rates.
LIATHER.—East India was chiefly bought in, the portion
sold being Madras and Bombay, at • decline of Id. to "d.
per lb. on former rates. Australian was much neglecte-f,
the small quantity sold in no way serving as a general
guide to buyers' views.
BALM HIM (Or AND Cow).—The sales were much
saluted by an export demand. Some Cape Town hides
were well competed for by the home trade, and realised full
comparative prices, but to effect sales of other descriptions
(Algoa Bay, Natal, tic.), • decline of, principally id. per lb.,
had to be accepted. Australian proved in lair request,
chiefly for export, but to meet buyers • concession of Icl.
to id. per lb. had to be submitted to when compared with
the result of the public sales held on the 28th ult. The few
West India, lac., offered were all bought in.
Hoses Ilimie.—The few offered brought fair prices for
the quality.
KIWI:GLANS:OUL —Brasil bides, Mogadore kips, and
Dutch and German calf skins, require no special notice.
MIXON& BANK was all bought in.
As regards those firms in the leather trade whose
estates will be wound up in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, a hope and belief are entertained by prac-
tical persons that the stocks will not be forced fur
sale at any considerable reduction.
The report of the directors of the Electric and
International Telegraph Company recommends a
dividend of 3* per cent. forth° half-year, against 3*
in the corresponding period of 1859. A balance of
576181. out of the half-year's earnings is car-
ned to the renewal fund, which is thereby
increased to 29,0361. This fund is to be
applied to the purchase and submersion
of another cable to the Hague. The report alludes
to the proposal to connect America with this
country yid Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland, and
observes that "a very short continuance northward
of the existing wires would bring the whole of the
company's stations into direct communication with
this transatlantic route."
The half-yearly meeting of the Midland Railway
Company is called for the 14th August, at Derby,
and will be made special, to authorise the directors
to convert loans or debentures into Midland mort-
gage preference stock, as well as to consider the ex-
pediency of issuing new shares under the provisions
of several acts, one of which is entitled "The Mid-
land Railway London Station Act, 1860."
The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return
shows this week an increase of 4661. ; the Man
cheater, Sheffield, and Linoolnahire an increase oc
1,1301. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire an increase
of 4,0211. ; the Midland an increase of 5,4521. ; and
the North Eastern an increase of 8181.
The traffic on the 687 miles of the South-Austriar
line of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway Cons
piny for the week ending July 14, was 30,548/.,
being 25,1391. leas than in the corresponding week
of 1859 on the same number of miles ; and that or
the Lombardo-Venetian line 4,1671., showing an in-
crease of 1,9351.
The petition for the winding up of the Mitre
Assurance Association is expected to be heard be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Kindersley on the 4th August
The position of the market for American securi-
ties is noticed as follows by Mears. D. Bell, Son,
and Co. :

The market for American securities during the put week
has certainly shown an improvement. Whilst the actual
business in State stocks has out been large there had been a
more general inquiry fur them, and the chief transactions
have been in United States Six per Cent. and Five per
Cent. Bonds, as well as in Massachusetts Five per Cent.
and Virginia Six per Cent. Stock and Bonds, at our quota-
tions. In railroad securities there has been more business
doing, at improved prices.
