MONEY MAREST.-(THIS DAY.)

On o'Owoz.

Less political anxiety is prevailing with regard
to the relations between France and Prussia, and
speculative sales on that account have been checked.
But all the markets remain extremely sensitive,
and this condition operates to prevent business,
while in the absence of business the tendency of
prices is to droop from want of support. Meanwhile
the supplies of money have nut been lessened. On
the contrary, the deposits at many establishments are
enlarging. There is some expectation that the
Bank of France will follow the example of the Bank
of England and lower its terms to 2 percent. in the
course of to-day ; but no actual movement is yet
reported. The weather remains favourable for the
ingathering of the crops, though the temperature
has fallen ; and some of the earlier advice. from
the country markets speak of rather lower prices
for wheat. Railways are dull, though some de-
scriptions have attained higher quotations than
yesterday.

The slight improvement in the demand for
money yesterday is not maintained this morning,
and the market has relapsed into perfect inactivity,
at 1,1 to per cent. for the best bills. The inquiry
at the Batik is nil. On the Stock Exchange the
terms for short loans are quoted at 1 to 1j per cent.
Consols are dull, at 94 to ;for money and de
August account, simply from an absence of busi-
ness, there being no pressure of sales. Reduced
and New Three per Cents. are quoted at 03i to :.
