MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONI O'CLOCK.

The favourable character of the mercantile news
from India and the arrival of an enormous amount
of specie (678,0001.) by the Persia, from New
York, have imparted decided firmness to the
various departments of the Stock Exchange, and
prices have improved in many instances. Consols
continue in demand for investment, and exhibit a
fresh rise of I per cent. British railways, foreign
stocks, and banking and financial shares are also
better. American securities, however, have given
way, upon the advices from New York.
The applications for discount to-day are moderate,
and the supply of money is good. The rate for
choice three months bills is si per cent., or
below the Bank minimum.

Consols are now quoted 861 to #, ex div., for
money, and 861, or 861 to #, for the account

mand, and have risen 1 and 1 per cent. respec-
tively. Greek have also improved 1, and Mexi-

11.14 to 11.16 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.18 to 11.19

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes :
Coin and bullion lncrease £170,000
Bills discounted
Government deposits lncrease 160.(5i0
Notes in circulation
Private deposits
Advances
The chief feature is still the remarkable increase
in the coin mi.. bullion. The total held is now ro
less than 25,100,0001. At the same time, a dimi-
nution in the demand for money is shown by the
falling off in the discounts. The position of the
Bank of France is thus exceedingly strong.
Private telegrams to hand from Bombay, dated
the 17th inst., mention that news had been re-
ceived of the failure of the Agra and Masterman's
Bank, and that no bad impression had been created
thereby, the event having been fully expected. It
is also stated that mercantile credits were easily
placed, that piece goods were in demand, and that
the feeling generally in mercantile circles had much
improved. The exchange was quoted 2s. lid. It is
is understood that still later intelligence—to the
20th instant—has been received by the Council of
India. The impression has been so strong in London
of late that the announcement of the stoppage of
the Agra and Masterinan's Bank would have a very-
disastrous effect in India, that the advices now re-
ceived may be regarded as extremely satisfactory.
At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr.
George Furness, the contractor, who recently
failed, an approximate statement was submitted by
Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., the
accountants. After some discussion, it was decided
to adjourn the meeting till Monday next, and Mr.
Furness was requested to continue his business as
usual. The accountants meanwhile are to furnish
any further information which may be required.
The Birinisighom Daily Pest announces the stop-
page of Mr. Thomas Rose, of the Milltields Iron-
works, with liabilities estimated at about 40,0001.
Advices from Halifax also report the suspension of
Mr. H. Ambler, worsted spinner and manufac-
turer, but the liabilities are not expected to exceed
about 30,0001.
The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1,487/. over last year.
The receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway fur the last week in May amounted to
20,8741, against 17,9811. in the corresponding
period last year, showing an increase of 2,8931.
The total earnings for May were 75,2461., against
36,561/. in the same month of 1865, being an in-
crease of 8,681.
The directors of the East Indian Railway Com-
pany have just issued their report, in anti-
cipation of the annual meeting called for the 29th
inst. It appears that the receipts have largely in-
creased during the last year, the gross receipts of
1865 having been 1,678,943/., or 406,367/. more
than in 1864. For the year 1865 the ie t receipts
were 928,751/. against 625,894/. in 1864. These
results are very encouraging.
The eighth ordinary general meeting of the
Alliance Bank (Limited) will be held on the 13th
July, when a dividend is to be declared.
The half-yearly general meeting of shareholders
of the London Joint Stock Bank is called for the

19th July.
