MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

thrs olihuor.

The stock markets remain quiet, with little bind
ness. The funds, in which preparations for Thursday's
settlement have commenced, are steady, at the rise
of y per cent., which took place yesterday. British
railway stocks are rather firmer, and an advance
is observable in some cases. The improve-
ment is most important in Great Western and
South Eastern, and has been chiefly caused by
purchases to cover previous speculative sales, the
public still showing little or no disposition to
invest in railway securities. Some of the foreign
bonds are inquired for. Banking, 'mu: ,al, and
miscellaneous shares show no movement worthy of
notice.

There is no new feature in the discount market,
the demand for money being fair, and the charge
fur the best paper to per cent.
Consols are now quoted 91 to !. both for
money and the next Thursday's settlement, and
91! to !, for the April account.

altered, at 36 to and 764 to j, respectively.
