MONEY MARKEZ—ZIibY LAY.

Two o'CLoon.
The funds showed a favourable tendency at the

commencement of business this morning, and
a rise of to 3-16 per cent. was soon ob.
twined. A reaction has since taken place, however,
in consequence of the receipt of lower prices front

lower than they closed yesterday.

Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rents
were quoted at a quarter past 12 o'clock
(i.e. three quarters of an hour before
the opening of the regular Bourse), at
69.16. A decline to 68,90 ensued, and the last price
reported is 69.6, which shows a fall of nearly I per
cent., compared with the closing price of yesterday.
The decline is attributed to the articles published by

way Company
.will be in course of issue about the

present month, or at latest, in the first week in

The letters and telegrams from Constantinople
throw no light upon the alleged protest of the re-
rnentatives of the bondholders against the local
loan which is said to have been just contracted b,
the Sultan. The statement respecting the protest is
believed to be founded upon a misapprehension.
Meanwhile it is certain that, up to the latest date,
the Sultan had not evinced the slightest disposition
to relieve his embarrassments by diverting from
their legitimate purpose the proceeds of the English
loan.
In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday, Mr. Blunt,
formerly a member of en old and influential legal
firm in the City, obtained a second-clue certificate.
His failure was partly ascribed to the embarrass-
ments of the old firm, who had embarked in huge
building. speculations.
