MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On o'Ozooz.

In the Stock Exchange the extent of the trans-
actions during the last fortnight causes much at-
tention to be directed to the settlement, and the
amount of fresh business at the moment is conse-
quently rather limited. Nevertheless, the tone of
the various departments is still favourable. Con-
sols are in good demand, both speculatively
and for investment, and have improved
per cent. A similar advance has occurred
in the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three
per Cents., owing principally, it is stated, to some
large purchases on account of the Post-office
Savings Banks. The supply of these stocks in the
market is small. A rise is likewise observable in
several of the British railways and foreign bonds,
and banking and financial shares meet with rather
more inquiry. Atlantic Cable shares are again
better, upon the satisfactory announcement just
made in reference to the average receipts per day.
The discount market is quiet to-day, with few
transactions. The rate for the best paper is 2} per
cent. Short loans .at English government securi-
ties are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at
11 per cent.

Console are now quoted 901 to 91 both for
money and the account (May 9), and the Three
per Cents. Reduced. and New Three per Cents.,
89i to 4.

The foreign stock market is quiet, but
Turkish of 1865, and Mexican have improved i
per cent. The other speculative descriptions are
unchanged. Turkish of 1865 are quoted 271
to II ; Greek, 13 to ; Spanish Passive, 201
to ; ditto Certificates, 121 to ; Italian of 1861,
48 to ; Mexican, 13 to ; Russian Scrip,
1 to b prem ; Chilian Scrip, 41 to 3/ die.; and
Danubian Scrip, 64 to 5i die.

United States 520 Bonds and Illinois Central
Railway shares aro unchanged, at 731 to 741 and
74 to 77 respectively ; but Erie are I per cent.
higher at 38 to i.

Atlantic Cable shares have advanced ss. to
is. 6d. Anglo-American are quoted 18 to}, and
Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference
411 to 1.

International Financial shares are quoted
2# to die. ; London Financial, 24 to 22}
dia. ; General Credit, 3L to 27 dis. ; Credit Foncier,
6# to 7 dis. ; National Discount, sp, to prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 16 to }.

The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of 2,430/. His. 2d. on account of the divi-
dend. on the debt of Ecuador.

About 4,0001. in United States gold coin was
withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for exporta-
tion.

The amount of Australian gold known to be now
on the way to England is 283,000/., of which about
66,00 W. is due. The Superb has 10,000/. on
board ; the Red Jacket, 66,0001.; the Australasian,
36,5001.; the Damascus, 15,5001.; and the Swift-
sure, 5,0001.

Messrs. E. Robinson and Co., manufacturers,
&c., of Stockport, have suspended payment, with
liabilities for a considerable amount.

It appears that recourse is still being had to the
dastardly practice of sending round anonymous
letters to the customers and shareholders of joint
stock banks, advising them, with the proper
quantum of mysterious hints, to withdraw their
balances, or to sell their shares, as the case may
be. This trick of unscrupulous spwulators for a
fall has been so often exposed tt one would
have thought it must have become too stale to be
ever again profitable, but after the severe shock
lately given to our whole financial fabric it would
seem that distrust must still linger somewhere,
and upon this feeling the concocters of such mis-
sives hope to play. The banks, in our opinion,
ought either singly or in combination to try the
effect of offering a good round reward for the de-
tection of the malefactors, but perhaps they will
prefer to await the effect of Mr. Leeman's bill, the
necessity of which is once more plainly demon-
strated. Its provisions will probably break up
entirely the trade of panic-mongering so far as this
particular branch is concerned.
With reference to the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
pany we have received the following memorandum
from an authentic source :

We learn that a movement iv on foot for clearing off the
whole of the mortgage debentures of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company. Upwards of 40,0001. have already been
paid for the purpose,. and in addition to this one of the
al rgest shareholders in a circular addressed to his fellow
shareholder,, of whom there are upwards of 4,000, under-
takes to subscribe the sum of 4,500/. to the completion of
this object provided the other shareholders respond in pro-
porti so to their holdings. This debt being removed, there
is little doubt but that the Anglo-American Company will
shortly be paid off, and the original Atlantic Company.
after all its reverses, will then come into the enjoyment of
its valuable property. The traffic during the past week
has averaged 1,230/. per day.
The annual meeting of the Cape of Good Hope
Telegraph Company (Limited) is called for the 24th
inst.

The preparations on Saturday for to-morrow's
settlement in the railway market showed generally
a very limited supply of stock, in consequence of
which very light rates were charged for carrying
over speculative accounts. The following shows the
terms current on some of the leading securities :
