MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoac.

The funds to-day are flat, with scarcely any busi-
nese. The price of Consols for the account is quoted
about 1-16 or 1 per cent. lower than at
4 o'clock yesterday. In all the other markets com-
plete stagnation reigns. In a few instances the
tendency of prices is in favour of buyers.
Consols are officially marked 911 to 911 for money,
and 911 to 911 far the 7th of Jane. The present
quotations are 911 to e for climb, and 91/ to 1 for the
account. Bank Stock has been dealt in at
222; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 901
to I; the new Three per Cents., at 901 to 1;
the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of last year,
at 931; the scrip of the New Indian Loan, at 921 to
93; India Bonds, at 1 le. to 12s. die. ; and Exchequer
Bills, at 20s. to 245. prem.
At the official opening of the Paris Bourse this
day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three
per Cent. Bentes were quoted 61.10 for the account,
showing an advance of 1 per cent compared with
the latest price of yesterday. The Bourse is de-
scribed as " firm," with " little doing."
Few transactions have taken plaoo in the foreign
stock market, and prices present no improve-
ment. No business is officially reported
in the Turkish loans below 61 and 61
respectively, but the present quotations are 69 to 61
and 49 to 61. Other stacks are nominally quoted
as before. Sales are recorded as follows :—French
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Renter, 88f. (exchange
25E) ; ditto Three per Cents., 60f. (exchange 25E);
Dutch Two-ani-t-Half per Cents., 60 (exchange
126.); New Granada Deferred Bonds, 41 ; Spanish
Three per Cents., 381; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents, 27 ; ditto for account, 261; Turkish Six pee
Cent', 1854, 611; ditto for account, 61; ditto Six
per Cents, 1858, 61 ; Venezuela Five per Canto. for
menet, 341.

Fora o'Cioci.

Cooed. are quoted just the same u at 2 o'clock—
Cz., 911 to i for money, and 91j to $ for the
June account.

The discount market remains quiet, and super-
abundantly supplied with money. First class bills
are negotiated 4 to t per cent. below the Bank
minimum.

------------
The residue of the 172,6001. in gold by the Jura,
from New York, was purchased yesterday for expor-
tation. No gold operations took place at the Bank.
The Bombay exchange presents no alteration of
importance.
It is understood that government will almost im-
mediately put forward a public notification inviting
tenders for the conveyance of the Australian mail
via Panama, in addition to the contract now in
course of performance via Suez by the Pen-
insular and Oriental Ccmpany. Attached to
the "conditions" of tender for the latter
contract, which was adjudicated last October, was
the following cola belie : —"lt is to be observed that
as soon as arrangements are completed, it is the in-
tention of the government to call for tenders for a
monthly steam communication with Australia via
Panama, in addition to the service via Son." The
delay that has occurred is, we believe, in no small
degree attributable to the absence of a definite under-
standing with the government of New Granada re-
specting the sum to be paid for the transmission of
the mails across the Isthmus. The affair has now,
however, arrived at so advanced a stage that the
"conditions" of the new contract are framed.
It is said that three companies propose to
tender :-1, the Royal Mail Steam Company
2, an English Company, organised some time ago, in
which Messrs. Peto, Breassey, and Co., are said to
be concerned ; and 3, a New York Association. The
sooner the negotiation is concluded, and the ne w
service actually commenced, the better for all
interests connected with the colonies. Should the
two contracts be efficiently performed, a fortnightly
service may practically be secured.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of WIZ. ; the
