MONEY MARKS -THIS LAY.

Two o'CLocz.

The funds today are extraordinarily buoyant. A
fresh rise of no less than t per cent. has taken plow
in Consols. The manifesto imned by the Emperor
of the French in Lombardy hes produced a Tay
favorable effect.

In all the other markets a considerable rise hee
also taken place. British, Lombardo-Venetian, and
Indian railway sLaree, and Turkish Bonds, are
especially buoyant.
Consols are officially marked 92! to 93, ex dlv.,
for the Bth July. The present quotation is 931 to 1.
For money, though the transfer books are shut,
transaction. are recorded at 94 to / cum die.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have bee.
dealt in at 931 tog; the New Three per Cents.,
at 931 to 1 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Deben-
tures of last year, at NI; the Scrip of the
New Indian Loan at 93; ; and Exchequer Bills, at
235. to 26,. prem.
At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
62fr. 96c., ex div., for the account, and quickly rose
to 63fr. 05c., being a fresh improvement of I per
oent., compared with the latest price of Saturday.
Foreign stocks are also rising. Turkish securi-
ties have advanced no less than 21 to 3 per cent.,
the old loan being now quoted 74 to 'l5; the new, 801
to 611. The inquiry extends to Mexican, Peruvian,
Spanish, Sardinian, and other descriptions, but the
amount of business is not large. Saks
are recorded as follows : Brazilian Okl
Five per Cents., 100; Mexican Three per
Cents., for account, 18/, 18/, 181 ; New
Granada Active Bonds, 161; ditto Deferred, 41.
5/t; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., far as-
count., 85, 84t; ditto Uribanen Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 78! ; ditto Three per Cents., for
account, 651; Sardinian Five per Coats., 81.
ex div. ; Spanish Three per Cents., far

Cents., 29! ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for ac-
count, 73, 741; ditto, Six per Cents., 1868, 60 ; ditto

The steamer Canada, from the United State•, has
brought 258,000/. in specie, and the Sultan, from
I the Peninsula, 12,219/.

The rise established in Consols last week amounted
to nearly 1 per cent., making 3i per cent. within
three weeks.

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuation
day"), and terminate on Thursday.
Ttie influx of gold from Russia will continue on a
considerable scale for some time to come. The Sal.
tans, which arrived at Hull on Saturday, is known
to have at least 75,000 half imperials, or 60,0001.,
which will come to hand to-day. It is probable
that the receipts from that quarter will reach
300,0001. within a few days, for remittances will
come forward by each succeeding steamer. Another
parcel of at least 60,0001. is due to-day, and
another of 80,000/. in the middle of the week. It
consequence of these shipments, the exchange at St.
Petersburg on London is gradually returning to a
point less unfavourable to Russia. The latest quota-
tion is 330. Telegrams just to hand from 84.
Petersburg announce large arrivals of shipping, and
a material fall in the rates of freight.
The 60,0001. in gold by the Arago, from New
York, has been taken for the Continent, in addition
to 90,0001. of the remittance ex the Vigo, and the
residue of the Russian gold which came to hand
on Friday.
The imports of the precious metals continue
upon a large scale. Our list for last week includes-
-60,0001. by the General Codrington, and 133,0001. by
the Minna, both from St. Petersburg ; 67,0001. by
the Shooting Star, from Melbourne; 167,0001. by
the Vigo, and 60,0001. by the Argo, both from New
York; 7,0001. by the Ethiopr, from Africa; and
4,3841. by the Ceylon, from Alexandria.
The value of these supplies, including the arrival
reported on Saturday, is not less than 648,0001., of
which a portion, as shown by the Bank returns, hi
retained here, the rest passing on to the Continent.
Mr. Peter Brown, carpet warehousemen, of Basing-
hall-street, who failed during the panic of 1867, has
just paid a final instalment, making 20e. in the
pound, besides interest. His liabilities amounted to
46,0001.

With regard to the arrangement of the dividends
on Great Northern Railway stocks, Mr. Slaughter's
Weekly Liet has the following -
ORZAT NORTHZRN. - Psysient of Dividends,— The
following somewhat peculiarly worded clams appears in this
company's act (cap. 35), paged April 19, 1869 RI X.
Whenever, from the proceeds of the that half of any year
there ere profits of the company which the director, consider
spplicabla to the purposes of dividend, sufficient for payment
of dividend for such half year, on the several preference
stocks, and also on the ordinary shares and stock in the com-
pany, it shall be lawful for the company to declare a dividend
for such half-year on such ordinary charm and stock but not
w otherwise ; elded that the amount so appropriated to divi-
dend on both preference and ordinary shares and stock In
inch first half-year shell not exc;ed the amount of suck
refits." It may be remembered that on certain ccasions
the holders of B stock claimed and received a large propor-
tine of their fi per cent, per annum dividend from the wet
profits of the half-year ending June 30 ; the A stockholders,
on the other band, waiting the result of the secoad half-yea's
working before receiving any dividend. It is believed that
the above clause will street this procer.dieg in future, end
seeder no circumstances give B proprietors more than •
moiety (say 3 per cent) of tladrelaisi over Ain the first
batf-
year; the balance, if earned, being paid only atter the decla-
ration of dividend for the half-year ending 31st December.
By this arrangement, whenever dividends in exems of 3 par
cent. per annum are earned, sock etows will be paid at once
to the A etockholders.
