MONEY MARKET-2H!B LAY.

Two deux'.

The funds continue to rise, under the influence of
the scarcity of stock, and the growing eau of
the money market. A frail advance of
to 1 per cent. has been established to-day
in Console. In the other departments of the Stock
Exchange, the tendency of prices is likewise favour-
abb. English and Indian railway stocks, and some
of the preferable foreign state bonds, are in request.
The weekly court at the Bank has broken up
without altering the rate of discount.

I the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 901 to 91; the New
Three per Cents., at 901 to 91; India Stock, at 217 ;

Most of the joint-etock banks, finding that money
is still pressed upon them, whilst the mean' of
employing it are diminishing, are modifying
their terms for deposits. As a result of inquiry, it
appears that the Union Bank will give only 21 per
cent. for fresh deposits, though still allowing 31 en
the old contracts. The London Joint-Stock and
City Banks will not allow more than 21 for conside-
rable sums. The London and County would cer-
tainly not take in fresh sums above 2/. The Bank
of London have notified a reduction to 21 both for
old and new deposits.
It is understood that the Bank of England are
now prepared to commence their usual quarterly
advances on government securities and on approved
six months' bills, not excluding the bill-brokers; but
in the present glutted state of the market no applica-
tions of this kind have yet been made to them.
At Hamburg the rate of discount has fallen to
2 per cent. At Amsterdam the rate is still 3 per

whole, of which will be retained here. Of the
Californian gold by the Africa, the residue was yes-
terday taken for the Continent.
