MONEY diABEB7.--71:114 RAY

Two o'CLooK.

The funds us supported at the improvement
whisks took place yesterday, but there is no anima-
tion. The share mukets are likewise quiet, owing
partly to the settlement, which is completed this
day. Prices of all kinds of securities, however,
remain very steady.
_ .

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renate were quoted
69.10, being 1 per mat. better than yesterday.
The New Canadian Five per Cent. Loan is again
higher, at 31 to 31 prem. The Indian Five per
Cent. Stock has risen to 1041 to 1.
Consols are olleially marked 961 and 1 for
money, and 961 and 1 for the account.
The present quotations are 964 to 1 for
money, and 961 to 1 for the Bth February.
Beak Stock has also been dealt in at 2291,
228, and 230; the Three per Cents. Reduced
at 961 and 1 ; the New Three per Cents.,
at 961, 1,1, and f ; India Stock, at 2221 ;
the New Indian Five per Cent. Loan, at
1041,1, and 1; the Five Cent. enfaced rupee paper,
at 971 and 1 ; ditto Fivaand-mHalf per Cent., at
104 ; the Four per Cent. Debentures of 1868, at
984 and 1; ditto, 1869, at 981 and 1 ; India Bonds,
at 12e. prem.; and Exchequer Bills, at 27e. to 31e.
prem.

In the foreign stock market the principal feature
is a fresh rise of k to f per cent. in the Turkish
Loan of 1868, which is quoted 88} to
87. The Loan of 1864 is firm, at 79
to 1. Anglo - Peruvian Four - and- a - Half
per Cents. are inquired for. Other foreign stocks
remain quiet. Salsa are recorded as follows Brasi-
lien per Cents., 1868, 941; Peruvian
Four-and-o-Half per Cents., for account, 941, 96
ditto Uribarren Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 81f,

mittee's ;Certificates, 41; Turkish Six per

San Paulo Railway shares are quoted I dia. to
par.; Bank of Turkey, 1. dia. to 1 prem; Ocean Ma-
rine Insurance, 11 to lk prem., being very firm; and

The Emperor Napoleon's free-trade manifesto,
which confirms expectations long entertained by
many sharp observers, has been received with the
liveliest satisfaction in the Stook Exchange, and in
eommercial circles generally. His Majesty's present
utterance is regarded as the strongest possible gua-
rantee of pekoe. It is justly urged that even he
would shrink from betraying the commercial confi-
dence of which he now gives the signal. It is
remarked OA • not aniatidaetory feature that the
pacific programme just inaugurated is received it
first with considerable caution. Much anxiety is
evinced to ascertain the spirit in which the protec-
tionist party in France will entertain the announce-
_ _ _ .

meat. Thin eaa, however, be no doubt of the result
provided the Emperor be true to his own character
for resolution.

The pressised stimulus to railways and other
public works is evidently designed to disarm
the opposition of the iron interest. The ma-
nifesto is not manned in any captions
spirit ; there is no disposition, therefore, to
cavil at the Imperial disregard of economical prin-
ciples occasionally presented, as, for example, in the
cavalier diversion of the balance of the war loan to
public works, " cathedrals, churches (another con-
ciliatory allusion), science, letters, and the arts."
The new Imperial programme is aooepted, perhaps a
little diffidently, yet most gladly, as one which, acted
upon, will consolidate the peace of Europe through a
genuine commercial Anglo-French alliance.

Amongst the considerations which tend to re-
strain the improvement in the stock markets is the
prospect of an advance in the Bank rate of discount
at no distant date, in the event of the efflux of gold
continuing, u seems probable.
At Vienna on Saturday Austrian stock recovered
I per cent., and at Amsterdam 1 per cent.
The first instalment of 10 per cent. of the New
Canadian Five per Cent. Loan fell due yester-
day, and a large sum was paid in advance of
future instalments, under discount at 6 per cent., in
accordance with the terms of the prospectus. It
may be useful to mention that discount will only be
allowed upon future payments in advsace u from
the lst Feb: next, the date of the next instalment.

The London agents of the Victorian government,
acting upon the resin instructions transmitted
from the colony, have given " notice that a sum of
not exceeding 3,000,0001. sterling will be required
for railway purposes during the current year 1880 ;
and they are further directed to give notice that
sealed tenders will be received for the whole or a
portion of this amount until a day in the month of
April to be hereafter named." This announcement
is not particularly lucid. In answer to inquiries, it
appears that any tenders which may now be sent in
will merely be held over until a future period.
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank yes-
terday for exportation was 18,0001. A portion of the
60,0001. by the Bremen reached London, and will
also be sent abroad. _ _ .

The amount of specie engaged for the West Indies

A telegram mentions the wreck on the Prate
