Two o'CLooi.

The funds remain dull, at the closing quotations of
yesterday. The shares and foreign stock settlement
forms the chief feature of Stook Exchange bootees
to-day. Consols are quoted 95/ to 1 for money, and 95/
to 1 for the 10th September. The Three per Cents.
Reduced have been dealt in at 961 to 1; the
New Three per Cents. at 96i to 981; Exchequer
Bill, at lle. to 14e. prem.; and Exchequer Bonds at
1001 to;.
In the foreign stock market busim- is is limited, and
has given rise to little cheep in price. The day's
sales are thus reported, viz :—Brestlian Old Five
per Cents., at 1021; Buenos Ayres, for 18th Sep.
tember, at 81 ex div.; Peruvian Frnr•and•a•Half per

her, at 1031; ditto, Guaranteed Four per Omits., at
1104.

The Moollan has arrived from Sydney, and the
May Queen from Geelong, but those vessels are not
known to have any gold on freight. The data, in
each case are old. _

The wheat market yesterday was flat, sod Monday'm
priors ware with difficulty obramed. The arrivals of
foreign grain in London since Monday b •ve been
liberal. Nearly all the English msrLets held on Tues-
day report a slight rise in the price of wheat. Since
' last Friday eleven floating cargoes of grain bare ar-
rived at port of call, of which seven are wheat. A
number of cargoes were sold yesterday, including seas
of Indian cern.

Dock Company, held yesterday, the net revenue for the
halfyear ending the 30th June was stated at 7,00014

making 7,7391. available tor dividend. A half-yearly
dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was
declared, leaving a surplus of 3281.
The prospectus of the Levant Mineral Company
was issued yesterday.
The half-yearly dividend is advertised on Georgia
State Five per Cent. Sterling Bonds.
Relative to the market for American securities,
Mr. R. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows :

There hes been a moderate deemed for fineable Atari-
cia relined seoarities daring the put week, sad sales hays

The funds remain steady in character, bat prices
closed 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. Very little
business is going forward in this department, but the
preparations for the settlement in shares and foreign
stocks engaged some attention to day.
The money market remains quiet, and the applies-
Boos at the Bank are believed to be very small, good
bills being negotiable out of doors at a reduction from
the Bank's charges. Preparation seems to have been
already made against the instalment of 10 per cent,
which falls dns to-morrow (Thursday) on the new
loan.

Console, which closed yesterday at 961 to 1 for
10th Sept., opened this morning at oat, u buying,*
and were last quoted 951 to 1. For money, the
closing price was 95/ to 1. The ofEclal business
report is as follows: Three per Cent. Console, for
money, 951, 1,1; ditto, for account, 10th Sept.,
951, 1; Three per Cent. Reduced. 961, 1; New
Three per Cents., 961, 96. 96/; Long Annuitirs,
'expiring in Jan., 1860, 8 6.16; India Bonds, 16e.
pram. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer
Bonds,; Jilting payable in 1868, 1001.
The New Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are also
marked 80.

Exchequer Bills remain steady, at lls. to 14s.
prem. ; and Exchequer Bonds, at 1001 to I.
In the foreign stook market the only feature was
a decline in Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents., eon-
request upon the arrangements for adjusting the
account. The " continuation "on this stook, and also
on Turkish Biz par Cents., ruled at to 3 per cent.
Ottoman Bank shares have fallen to 3 dia. to par,
being unfavourably 'frond by the publication
of the project of the Turkish Government
for the formation of an " Imperial Ottoman
Bank." The capital of this institution is to be
3,000,0001. sterling, of which onerfifth, at 600,00 W.,
Iv to t) subscribed by the founders. Twisty per
omit. of this 600,0001. is to be lodged as a guarantee
in the Bank of England or Francs,. The authorised
operations of the institution are to be of the usual
oracter, and it will have the exclusive pri-
vilege of inning Bank notes (to the ex-
tent of its capital). In return for these privileges,
however, the projected beak is to assist the Parts to
a loan of Ave millions sterling in Europe. This loan
is to be in a five per ant. stock, at 90 per asst., and
will ham the security of the customs novelties and the
trlbutr of Moldavia, Wallachia, and Erwin. The
lac is to be employed in withdrawing the existing
paper circulation, and in improving the debased coin.
It is doubted if this proposal of issuing the flee
million loan at 90 per cent. can be carried mato effect,
this ligere being considerably higher than is war-
rants& by the existing prima of other Turkish
securities._

National Discount. at 11 to 11 prem.; ditto new
shares, at 11 to 1 6-18 prem. ; and General Bank of

steak is officially marked 128 and 127.

The arrangement of the fortnightiy amount in the
railway share market to-day indicates a fair supply
of most descriptions of stock. The chief excepuon
was in Great Western stock, which proved very
same in the afternoon, and commanded a " boa-
wardstion" (or bonus to leaden of the stook) of 3-16
to 6.18 per omit Caledonians were also less plentifol.
