MONEY MAREE7.-THDI DAY.

Two deems.

A decided effect has been produced in tie Stock
Exchange by the discussion in the Bowe of Com-
mons last night, upon the Savoy question, but more
especially by the firm tone adopted by Lord John
Russell, who alludes to the prospect of an ultimate
combination of England and other European
powers, against the aggressive designs of France.
After falling nearly I per cent., Consols are now
quoted I to f per cent. lower than yesterday after-
noon. The share markets are likewise generally
lower. Yesterday's advance in British railway
stocks is lost.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates opened at
68.60, but declined to 68.50, being the mama as the
last price of yesterday. It is surmised that the
tenor of Lord John Russell's remarks has not yet
been permitted to transpire in Paris.
Consols are officially marked 941, f, and
for money, and 941, j, and for the account. The
present quotations are 94/, " buyers," for money,
and 941, " buyers," for the 11th of April. The
New Three per Cents. have been dealt in
at 94/ ; India Stock, at 218 ; the In-
dian Ave per Cent. Stock of 1859, at
1041, 1, and 4 ; the Five per Cent. " enfaced"
rupee paper, at 981 ; the Indian Four per Cent.
Debentures, of 1868, at 97 ; India Bonds at Si.
and Is. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills, at 161., 195.,
and 17a. prem.

The foreign stock market is heavy. Prices in
several instances are lower. The decline in Turkish
amounts to Ito per cent., the loan of 1864 being
uow quoted 781 to 791, and that of 1868, 611 to 62.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1862, 901; Mex-
ican Three per Cents., for account, 211 ;
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 96k. Sar-
dinian Five per Cents., for account, 831 ;
Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents.,
for account, 341 ; ditto Passive, 141 ;
Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, for account, 79,
78k, 791; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account,
621, 611 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1011.
The scrip of the new Brazilian Loan has fallen to
Ito*d

Ocean Marine Insurance shares are quoted 3k to
pram ; Universal Marine, 3to prem. ; and
London and Provincial Marine, 3-18 to 5-16 prem.
The Indian Five per Cent stock of 1869 has de-
clined to 104 f to I, for the account.

The demand for money or all continues active in
quarters, including the Rnof England, and no
business is done below 4 pm. cent.
The usual day for banker', ie., to receive their
warrants for the April dividends in the 6th April ;
but, as the 6th will be Good Friday, the Bank, in
order to prevent delay, will allow them to sign on
the sth.

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-morrow, "continuation
day," and terminate on Friday.
The failure of a broker was announced yesterday
in the Stock Exchange in connexion with the settle-
ment, fixed for to-day, in the shares of the
Buenos Ayres and San Fernando Railway Com-
pany. The sum involved is unimportant. At a
time, however, when the boldness with which the
promoters of joint stock companies manipulate the
market excites animadversion, the recklessness with
which some members of the Stock Exchange effect
speculative sales of shares must not, in fairness, be
allowed to escape notice. There is much laxity of
practice. The power of applying a remedy lies with
the Stock Exchange.
The demand for gold for exportation continues
slack, owing to the tightness of the money
market and the recent improvement in the conti-
nental exchanges. The residue of the 176,0001. by
the Champion of the Seas was disposed of with dif-
ficulty at a decline of id. per ounce, the present
price of bars in the open market being 775. 9d. per
ounce standard, or the same rate at which the Bank
of England buy gold.
Sweden announces her intention to raise a
foreign loan of 25,000,000 riks dollars (say 5} mil-
lions sterling) for railway purposes, and invites
tenders from foreign capitalists. The sum is a large
one for a small state.

The annual election of the Committee of the
Stock Exchange took place yesterday. The places of
three members who have retired were filled by
the following new names, viz. Mr. Faulconer,
Mr. Payne, of the firm of Mieville, Payne, and
Lawrence, and Mr. Louis Cohen.

The adVices fronslndia continue to express gene-
ral approbation of Mr. Wilson's budget. The main
point to which exception is still earnestly taken is
the doubling of the import duty on cotton twist. A
considerable decrease is apprehended in the trade
in this article, the remarkable growth of which is
shown in the fact that the quantity of twists im-
ported into Bombay in the year 1859 was no less
than 14,372,5081b5., against 8,013,1591bn in 1858,
and 3,899,1531ba in 1867.
The annual meeting of proprietors of the
National Provincial Bank of England is called for
the 10th May, when a vacancy in the direction,
socaaioned by the death of Mr. Isaac Nicholson,
must be filled up.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week a decrease of 8471, and the South Eastern a
decrease of 4951.

The council of the General Bank of Switzerland
announce that "the Coupon No. 5 having been
paid in January last, the payment of the Coupon
Na 6 is postponed to some later period than the
Ist April next"
The manager charged with the winding up of
the North Western Bank of India announces a
second dividend to the shareholders of 50 rupees
per share, payable in 5 per cent, government secu-
rities.

Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
Weekly List) of the railway calls falling due in the

of the East Indian Railway Company, and in this
instance a considerable sum has already been paid
in advance :
