MONEY MARKET-THIS DA F.

Two oN3Looz.

The funds opened this morning with a steady
appearance, and Consols were supported, until within
the lut three-quarters of an hour, at an im-
provement of 1-16 per cent. upon the closing
quotations of yesterday. Decided weakness,
however, has aim become apparent, owing to a
rumour that a French loan of twelve millions
sterling is about to be raised. The fonds
are now quoted 1.16 to j per cent. lower than they
closed yesterday, and flatness prevails is the other
departments.

At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rance§ opened
at 87fr. 60c., for the account ; compared
with the closing quotations of yesterday, a
fresh fall of about j per cent. is shown.
Consols, after standing at 95 746 to for the
9th of March, are now quoted 951 " sellers."
Foe money the present price is 951 " buyers."
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in
at 951 to 98}; the New Three per Cents., at 951
to 98}; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, at
98 to 961 ; India Bonds, at 18s. prem. ;
the March Exchequer Bills, at 33e. to 38.. prem. ;
and Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in May
next, at 1001.
The foreign stock market is steady ; but the New
Turkish Loan scarcely maintains the late improve-
ment. The first swiss is quoted 79j to 80, whilst the
second has been quoted for sale as low as 8 dim. In
other descriptions little alteration has occurred
Sales are recorded as follow.:—Danish Three per
Cents. (1825), 86j, 87; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 851 (exchange 128.) ; Mexican Three
per Cents., for account, 201 ; Peruvian
Three per Cents., for account, 731 ; Por-
tuguese Three per Cents., 1853, for account,
451, 46; Rumian Four-and•a-Half per Cents., 99;

TLII MINITTES PAST Two o'CLocg.

Consols have fallen to 961 for the amount.
French railway shame are quoted 61. per share worn
than the priced given in our share report. Lom-
bardo-Venetian are unaltered.

Complaints of the prejudice inflicted upon busi-
ness by the prevailing political suspense are becom-
ing general. The immediate effect is to lucre's. the
glut of money. The demand in the discount market
yesterday was languid, and first class bill. were taken
at 9 to 2/ per cent. Vey little business was done
at the Beak. In the Stock Exchange loans on
acuity of Consols are obtainable at the merely
nominal rate of 1 per cent. per annum, the dealers
being in want of stock, in consequence of the amp-
don b 7 the public.
An instalment of 10 per cent., or about 166,0004
fell due yesterday on the Milian Loan. The propor-
tion remaining to be paid is 42 per cent. The next
instalment of 20 per cent. falls due on the 145th of
Marsh.

About 80,0001. in Australian gold warn yesterday
Put into the Bank. Only a limited amount of the

reported by telegraph from that city, was quoted

The market for the Indian guaranteed railway
shares has been decidedly strengthened by the lucid
and stateamnalike views enunciated last night by
Lord Stanley. Particular attention has been ch-
eated to the terms in which his lordship demolishes
the narrow argument that the British Exchequer
eau be reserved from all responsibility in respect of
the financial obligations of the Indian government.
Lord Stanley's view of the bearing of the railway
system upon the general welfare of India, and his
recorded belief that the railway and other guarantee'
involve merely a nominal liability, since these
un-
dertakings will probably. yield more than the gas-
ranteed rate, have likewise met with much attention
and acquiescespe.
The emu Gibson, formerly • merchant
of Gracenhureh-street, and Robert Hills, the sur-
viving partner in the firm of Hills and Hills,
bankers, of Gravesend and Dartford, came before
Mr.CommissionerFonblanque yesterday at the Court
of Bankruptcy, and were both adjourned for three
weeks, owing to the startlin discrepancy which has
been discovered between the accounts of the two
bankrupts. Hills returns Gibson as a debtor for
upwards of 10,0001. for money advanced ; and Gilson
deeleess that he does not owe a penny, but that on
the other hand Hill' is indebted to him 4001. or
5001. David Laing Barn, merchant, of Cornhill,
obtained an immediate certificate of the second clue.
He attributed his failure to his holding shares in the
Western Bank of Scotland, and to the enormousoalls
recently made thereon. A call of 11. per share was
made on the contributories to the Farniahing Iron-
mongery Company.
The Master of the Rolls, who is charged with the
winding up of the Mexican and South American
Company, proposes an the 24th inst. to make a call
of 61. per share on the persons settled on the list of
contributories since the 21st of July lut.

The weekly traffic return of the Great Western
