rONEY MARKET -THIS DA}

Two o'Crock.
The disappointment of the expectation of an im-
provement in the weather bas been attended with a
decline of per cent. in the funds, which present
a very dull appearance, notwithstanding the
announcement of a further slight improvement
on the Paris Bourse. British railway stocks in
most instances have also experienced a reduction
of to per cent. Very little business is going
forward in any department of the Stock Exchange.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
were quoted 68.20, showing a rise of about I per

cent. since yesterday afternoon.

591 to 60. As regards other descriptions,

Hekv-rear Two o'CLocie.
Console remain quoted 921 to 1 for money, and
921 to 93 for the account
The private advisee report an abundant supply
of money on the Paris Bourse, but this is not a very
healthy indication. The moneyed classes are
willing to lend for short periods, but loth to invest.

the Rentes as much as possible, with a view to an
ultimate loan to defray the oust of the China and
Syrian expeditions.
The half-yearly dividend is advertised on the
Turkish Loan of 1858.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, August 15, compared with the
previous weekly return, shows the following results:

The principal changes shown in this return con-
sist of the large increase in the Treasury deposits,
and the still larger decrease in the private deposits.
The chief explanation of these movements is to be
found in the payment of upwards of one million,
which was made on Monday by the East Indian
Railway Company ; the private securities having at
the same time decreased, there is a small increase
in the reserve. The coin and bullion are almost
stationary.
The Gazette statement of the movements of the
precious

gives the following totals, via.:—lmports et
gold, 355,1581. ; exports of gold, 366,6661.
