MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY)

Oil o'Otooz.

In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealings are
confined to a few securities, but quotations gene-
rally are maintained. Speculative operations for
a rise are checked at the moment by the unsatis-
factory tenor of the financial advices from Paris,
and the absence of any bona fide purchases of im-
portance on account of the public. The transac-
tions for investment, however, are expected to in-
crease during the next five weeks, with the
return of many persons from their holidays.
Consols are inquired for, and have unproved 1-16
to per cent. ; and foreign bonds show firmness.
British railway stocks, however, are offered, and
some of the principal descriptions have given way,
though not to any important extent. Midland has
receded, notwithstanding the announcement of an
ncrease of 5,9721. in the traffic return for the week
ending the 15th inst., compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1866.

The demand for discount is still very moderate,
and the rates for bills are without change. The
charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 1
per cent.

Consols are quoted 94 to for money, and
94 11-16 to 13-16, or 94/ for the Bth Oct. The
Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per
Cents. are steady, at 93 to I, ex div.
On account of the sinking fund, the government
broker has bought to-day 21,0001. Three per Cents.
Reduced, at 93k, ex div.

The transactions in the railway market exhibit
a preponderance of sales, and prices have further
receded to a moderato extent. Caledonian stock
has declined 1 per cent. ; Midland, a ; London
and North Western, I ; and Metropolitan, South
Eastern, and Brighton, 1. Subjoined are the quo-
tations :—Metropolitan, 1241 to 1231 ; Great
Western, 484 to /, ex div. ; London and North
Western; no to 115 i ; Midland, 122 g to ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 1274 to 128 ; Caledonian,
1074 to 1084; South Eastern, 691 to 704 ; Great
Eastern, 301 to 31/ ; Great Northern, 1124 to
1134 ; ditto A, 119 to 4 ; London, Chatham. and
Dover, 191 to I ; North British, 334 to 34 ; and
Brighton, 524 to 534. _ _

lank of England stock is slightly firmer, at
2441. to 247/., ex div.

Foreign stocks are rather firm, and Turkish of
1865 and Italian of 1861 have improved hto per
cent. viz., to 32} to if and 481 to ;, respectively.
Turkish of 1862 are at 61 to 62 ; Greek, 131 to 141 ;
Spanish Passive, 191 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 161
to 1 ; Chili= scrip, par to prem. ; Egyptian,
1864, 861 to 87 ; and Mexican, 15A to 1.
American securities remain flat, owing to a fear
that the United States government may be guilty
of a virtual breach of faith with the holders of the
5-20 Bonds. Those securities show a fresh reduc-
tion of per cent., viz., to 721 to 73, and Erie and
Illinois Central railway shares are dull, at 431 to
441, and 77} to!, respectively.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are steady
at 171 to ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per
Cent. Preference at 31 to 1. .

Bank shares are unaltered, with the exception of
a decline of 10s. in Alliance, to 10} to 9,1 dis.
London and Westminster are called 674 to 64 ;
Union of London, 36 to 37 ; Imperial Ottoman, 1
to 02 die. ; Chartered Mercantile of India, 30 to 31 ;
and London and County, 64 to 56.

Financial shares are without alteration. Inter-
national Financial, 2k to 11 din ; London, 23 to
21 dis. ; General Credit, 2/ to 11 dis. ; and Credit
Foncier, 5 to 51 dia.

The City of Boston, from New York, has brought
only 35,0001. in specie.

The half-yearly meeting of the Recife and Sao
Francine° Pernambuco Railway Company (Limited)
will be held on the 22nd of October, when a divi-
dend will be declared.

Some persona assume that a forced liquidation of
the affairs of the Credit Mobilier of Paris would give
• shock to financial affairs in France equal to that
occasioned here last year by the stoppage of
Overend, Gurney, and Co. ; but this seems to be a
very exaggerated view, inasmuch as the diffi-
culties of the great speculative establish.
ment of Paris have been foreseen to be
impending for a long time past, whereas
the failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co., was a
great surprise, and coming at a moment of intense
Pressure at once converted it into panic. More-
over, even should it be found impossible to keep
the Credit Mobilier Society of Paris in operation,
it by no means follows that any serious effect would
be produced upon prices here. It cannot be doubted
that any convertible securities of which that estab-
lishment was possessed have been sold before now
to meet its engagements, and consequently there
can be no prospect of the market being flooded
with stock from that source. Indeed, it would
seem that the difficulties of the speculative situa-
tion at Paris have a tendency even to increase the
glut of money in this country, for it is stated that,
owing to the uncertainty which prevails with re-
gard to the position of securities in that market,
some amount of money which is ordinarily lent
upon stock on the Paris Bourse has been sent over

of the Hop and Malt Exchange and Warehouse
Company (Limited) was held yesterday. The report
of the directors, which was adopted, stated that in
spite of the insufficiency of the company's capital,
the late severe monetary panic, and the many
other difficulties which had presented themselves,
the first section of the building, comprising the
exchange, warehouses, subscription and refresh-
ment rooms, a large number of offices and show-

rooms, and cellarage, will be completed in Use
course of the present month, intim for the ensuing
hop season. A lar;e portion of the present sec-
tion has already been let, from the 29th September,
at rents equal to, and in some cases above, the
original estimate. It is anticipated that the cost of
the whole building will not exceed the first compu-
tation of 50,000/.

The Chinese have of late years adopted the
practice of adulterating the spring-grown tea with
the old and withered leaves of the previous
season's yield. In the new crop of Kaisow just to
hand this system has been carried to such an ex-
tent that the usual characteristics of that descrip-
tion of tea—viz., ripeness and richness of flavour
—have been entirely destroyed. The first arrival
of Kaisow has in former years sold at 2s. 6d. to
3s. per lb. • but now, and principally through its
fame, 2s. 2d. is the highest price obtainable for
comparatively fine sorts, and sales are being pressed
as low as is. bd, Some judges affirm that, should
the Taeping's cargo fairly represent others (it route
with more plentiful supplies, many of these teas
will only fetch the price of common Congou. At
present the better-informed firms refuse alto-
gether to purchase, as it is known that the Chinese,
after having tired buyers with immense quantities
of this comparatively poor produce, have after-
wards brought forward the finest qualities. It isaliko
reassuring to know that musters of shipments from
Shanghai of really fine Oopacks have arrived over-
land, and that the general quality of Congou from
that port is superior to last year's supply. It is
thought that these facts should be made known
amongst retail "carers, lest their losses, which have
already been heavy from the prevailing commercial
depression, should be increased by too early pur-
chases of new tea.
