MONEY !MARKET.-(THI8 DAY.)

on o'Cwar.

There is little business to-day in public securi-
ties, and the general tone of most of the markets
is dull. Consols and some of the foreign stock■
have declined about per cent., and the transac-
tions in banking, financial, and miscellaneous
shares show a preponderance of sales. Colonial
government securities and Indian railway stocks,
however, are steady, and home railways have im-
proved in a few cases. Attention is still chiefly di-
rected to London, Brighton, and South Coast stock,
which has again been largely dealt in, and has
experienced several fluctuations. Transactions
were recorded this morning at 58, but the price has
since recovered, and is now it per cent. better than
yesterday. It is understood that the report of the
committee of investigation will be issued this
evening.

The discount market is freely supplied with
money to-day, and the demand is moderate. The
quotation for good bills is 21 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 94g to ~ ex div., for
money, and 90 to 1, ex div., for the account
(July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 934 to I.
Foreign stocks are dull, and a decline of 1 per
cent. has occurred in Spanish Passive, the Com-
mittee's Certificates, and Mexican. Turkish Five
per Cents. of 1885 are quoted 341 to ; Greek,
15g to g ; Spanish Passive, 231 to 24 ; ditto Certifi-
cates, 14 to ; Italian of 1861, 514 to 52i ; and
Mexican, 16/ to 17.

Financial shares are inactive. London Finan-
cial are quoted 19 to 18 dis. International Finan-
cial, 11 to 11, dis. ; General Credit, 15 to 1/ dis. ;
and Credit Foncier, 5/ to 55 die.
In the market for Bank shares, Alliance are 10a.
lower, at 85 to 8 dia. Imperial Ottoman are
quoted 4to I dia., being 2s. 6d. worse ; Union of
London, 43 to ; and London and Westminster,
106 to 108.
American securities and Atlantic Cable shares
are quiet, but the 6-20 Bonds have improved 5 per
cent., viz., to 735 to /. Erie Railway shares are
quoted 40 to 5 ; Illinois Central, 79 to ; Anglo-
American Telegraph, 18k to ; and Atlantic Tele-
graph 8 per cent. preference, 45 to 5.
The liquidators (Messrs. A. Young and John
Ball) of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association
(Limited) have just issued a report with respect
to the affairs of that undertaking. The
liabilities on which dividend is now pay ible amount
to 2,095,0401., while the assets are returned at
the nominal sum of 3,014,6231., but the bulk

of the securities represented in this last
item are not realisable at present. It is
proposed that the remaining 15s. in the pound,
with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
on the entire debt, shall be discharged by six equal
half-yearly instalments, the first to be paid on the
15th of January, 1868.
The directors of the London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway announce that, at the request
of the committee of investigation, both the special
general meetings now adjourned to Tuesday, the
18th inst., will be held on that day only pro forma
for the purpose of being further adjourned to
Tuesday, the 25th instant.
With reference to the Great Eastern Railway
Company it is announced that the Wharncliife
meeting on the 18th inst., on the finance bill, will
be held only pru formtl, as the bill will not be
ready for consideration on that day.
The ordinary general meeting of the Lower
Assam Company (Limited) will be held on the 24th
inst.

Two o'Ctock.
Console are slightly firmer, at 941 to }, ex div.,
for money, and 941, ex div., for the account.
The fall in the Brighton stock is solely due to
rumours that the forthcoming report of the com-
mittee of investigation will be very unsatisfactory.
Even if this expectation be realised, however,
it is evident, from the extent of the fall,
that it has been largely discounted. Moreover, it
must be remembered that even the issue of an un-
favourable report, under existing circumstances, is
not without its compensation. For months past
the proprietors have been crying out for a clear
and truthful statement ; in other words, they have
demanded to know the worst, and the forth-
coming report of the committee, if rumour is
accurate, will tell them the worst. But, when
things are at the worst, the proverb says they are
not far off mending ; and there is this important
feature, that any adverse revelations which may be
made appertain to a past mismanagement, and
to an administration which has been put an
end to. In other words, in the case
of this company, the process of purification has
commenced. Meanwhile, the undertaking enjoys
still to the full the monopoly of transit assigned to
it by its parliamentary powers, and, as is proved
by its magnificent income, the property remains a
fine one, despite all the drawbacks resulting from
past errors.
About 97,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
