MONEY MARKET.-(THIE DAY.)

Ups oVioca.

The stock markets are dull to-day, and the
general course of prices is unfavourable. ,There
are very few investments at the moment on account
of the public, while the demand for gold for
exportation is rather active. Speculators
are consequently tempted to effect sales, in
anticipation of still lower quotations being
current during the next few days. The funds
,show no recovery from the fall which occurred
yesterday, while some of the British railways and
foreign stocks have again given way. Banking and
financial shares are unchanged, in the absence of
transactions. The fortnightly settlement, which
still engages the attention of the dealers, will be
completed to-morrow afternoon, after which some
revival of business may take place.
The discount market is quiet, with little busi-
ness, and the rate for choice bills is without varia-
tion, at 21 to 3 per cent. The supply of money in
the Stuck Exchange is large, and short loans on
English government securities are obtainable at 2
per cent.

Consols are now quoted 904 to 4 for money,
and 902 for the account (February 7).
In the foreign stock market a reduction of 4 to
per cent. is observable in Spanish Passive, Chilian
Scrip, and Mexican. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are
quoted 53} to 54}, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 294
to / ; Greek, 141 to 4 ; Spanish Passive, 22 to I ;
ditto Certificates, 144 to 3; Italian of 1861, 54 to
}, ex div. ; Mexican, 174 to t ; Russian Scrip, 1
to 4 prem. ; and Chilian Scrip, 4 to 4 prem.
American securities are in request, at an im-
provement. The 5-20 Bonds have advanced 4 per
cent., and Erie and Illinois Central railway shares
14. The present prices are :-5-20 Bonds, 73} to
; Erie Railway shares, 384 to 39} ; and Illinois
Central, 794 to 804.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are still in-
quired for, and have experienced a fresh advance
of 2s. 61, being now quoted 16 to 4. Atlantic
Telegraph 8 per cent. preference are steady, at 34
to 4.
International Financial shares are quoted 2}
to 21 dia. ; London Financial, 184 to 174 dis. ;
General Credit, 24 to 2 dis. ; Credit Fonder,
54 to 51 dis. ; National Discount, 9/ to 3 prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 151 to 161.
The directors of the British and Irish Magnetic
Telegraph Company (Limited), at their meeting
to-day, declared • dividend on the ordinary stock I
for the past half-year, at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum. The balance carried over for 1866 is
7,024/. 16s. 10d., raising the reserve fund to
17,678/. 15a. 4d.
The Oneida, from Brazil, has arrived at Lisbon,
with '22,377/. in specie.

HALF-PAM THEE/ O'CLOCK.

Consols are i per cent. lower than at 1 o'clock,
being now quoted 9011 to I, both for money and
the account.

About 40,000 Z. in gold has been withdrawn from
the Bank for exportation.
At Paris this morning the Three percent. Rentes
opened at 69fr. 20c., being firm.
The Metropolitan Railway dividend is announced
at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum for the half-
year.

About 30,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for the continent, and the rest
of the recent arrivals were also purchased for that
destination. It is still believed, however, that
the demand for exportation is not sufficiently ac-
tive to cause any important draught upon the bul-
lion in the Bank.

On Change yesterday afternoon, the rates for bills
on Holland and Austria were rather ken favourable
for this country. Otherwise little change occurred.
The list is annexed :
