WEDNIIIDLY EVSNINCI.
The lees easy appearanos of the money market
continues to weigh upon the funds, which today ex-
perienced a further decline of per cent. In the
Stock Exchange tc day, notwithstanding the settle.
meat in shares and foreign stocks, money was in
better supply, and commanded only about 31 per
rsnt. for short loans on stock; but in the diseotent
market the demand was again very active. First
clam bills are still negotiable in Lombard-street at 4
per cent., but long dated paper is Use sought after.
The stock markets, however, retain a good basis,
owing to the steady investments of the public ; and
confidence in the general soundness of our monetary
position remains altogether unimpaired.
There is so immediate apprehension of any further
decrease in the Bank's metallic stock. The remit-
tances to the Continent are derived from the fresh
imports of gold, whilst coin flows back to the Bank
from the country, as usual after the dividend disburse-
ments. _ _ _

Consols for the 7th August ranged to-day between
93# to 4, and yesterday's closing quotation of 951 to
4, and were last quoted 954 to 1. For money the
latest pries was 951. The official business report is
as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money.

Exchequer Bills were quoted 20s. to 23e. prem.;

to 24e. prem.
Turkish stocks were firmer to-day. The Biz per
Cents. lett off at 103# tot, and the Guaranteed Four
per Cents. at 1061 to 1. The reports which led to
lthe sadden fall yesterday afternoon remain without
oonfirmation, and it is noticed that some of the par-
ties who were eager to effeet speculative sake yes-
terday were to day equally anxious to buy back fornthe
new account at the redacted prices temporarily estab-
lished. These oscillations are chiefly attributed to the

operations of Greek speculators, who seem to delight
especially in depreciating Ottoman securities. That
those attempts are more zealous than successful is
proved by the fact that the Turkish Six per Cent
stook stands now at the enormous premium of nearly
24 per centon the price at which it wee issued. Any
one who has watched Stock Exchange trans-
actions during the last few months, will have
remarked several occasions on which determined
attempts have been made by awns speculative cliques
to depreciate certain clause of securities. It would
tend to the discouragement of reckless operations, to
the protection of the legitimate investor, and to the
credit of the Stock Exchange re a body, if the coin-
mitts' would keep an eye on isregularitiss of the
nature indicated, and, when the o •ciudon di mends
such a step, institute a searching investigation.
In other foreign stocks the busines- was mainly
waned to the settlement, but prices were steady.
Mexican Bonds closed a little better than
yesterday.
Ottoman Bank shares closed to-day at 21 to 21
prem.; Bank of Egypt, at i to 11 prem.; National
Discount, at to 2 prem., being sensibly better;
ditto, new share., at to 1 pram; and General Bank
of Switzerland, at die. to / prem. The stocks of
the older established banks remain steady. Land
shares were quiet. Crystal Palace Preference stock
is more offered. London General Omnibus shares
had advanced at the close to to 1 prem., being
wanted for the settlement. East and West India
Dock stock is officially marked IV. and 126, and
Southampton Dock, 491 and 481.
The Seven per Cent. Bonds of the Michigan
Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad Company
are in steady demand, at 81 to 83.
The closing quotations for the newly projected
railways ars subjoined, viz.: Eastern Bengal Rail.

7-16 to 9-18 prem.; Western Railway of Austria,ll to
21 prem. New Brunswick and Canada Railway sad
Land A shares Ito 11 prem.; ditto B shares, Ito

Copiapo Extension Railway, # to 11 prem.; hietro-
politan Railway Guaranteed shares, par to 1 prem.;
Sittingbourne and Sheerness Railway, 1 to 11 prem.

It s noticed that numerous investments are mule
in the shares of the new oriental railway companies
lately announced on which only 2e. per share has
been paid. In cuss wherein a guarantee bee
been applied for, end no call is to be
made until such guarantee is secured, there is a
disposition to regard the shares as a sort of lottery
ticket. Should a guarantee be obtained, the shares
would, it is presumed, command a high premium in
the market, whilst the utmost extent of the loss
that can be incurred at present is 2v. per share, plus
the premium which the investor may pay for them.
The nominal quotations for a number of other new
projects are u follows:—European and Indian Juno-
tion Telegraph Company, to / prem. ; City Dia.
count Company, to I prem.; West Ham Distillery
Company, I to # prem.; Hungarian Land Company,

Irish Fishing Company and Thames Steam Tog
Company, nominally par to 1 prem.
