NONBY AtARKBT.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day exhibit steadiness, and the im-
provement which was established at four o'clock
yesterday is fully maintained. Business is quiet
throughout the Stock Exchange.
Consols are steady, at 90i to 91 for the 9th Sept.,
and 90; to k for money. The Three per Cents.
Reduced are marked 901 to I; the New Three
per Cents. 90k to 91k; Bank Stock, 216 to 218 k;
India Stock, 216; Exchequer Bills, 4s. dis. to par;
and India Bonds, 18s. die.

In the foreign stock market the transactions have
been limited, and prices exhibit no movement of
importance. The sales are confined to Bra-
Olin Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 951 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 64 ; ditto, Four per
Cent. Certificates, at 981 ; Mexican for account, at 221;
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, at
811; Spanish Deferred Three per Cents., for account,
at 25; and Turkish Six per Conte., for account, at
Kt, 1, and 1.
In the discount market the demand for money
continues steady, but there is no rctwn of the reocnt
pressure.
The next monthly return of the Bank of France
will not be published until Friday, the 14th inst.
The continental advices report a decline of 1 to
per cent. in Austrian stock.
We regret very much to learn that the firm of
Meant. Carr, Brothers, and Co., the extensive coal
owners, of Newcastle and Wales, have suspended
payment. Their liabilities will prove large, but it
is alleged that the property may be expected to
ultimately meet all demands. A hope is entertained
that the embarrassments of the house will be merely
temporary. The firm occupied a position of high
respectability.
The Arago, from New York, has brought
197,0001. in specie on freight, of which 44,8001. is
for England and the rest for Havre. The remittance
for England will come to hand to-day. The
exchange at New York on London is reported firm,
at 1091 to t.
The Impression that the chief pressure incidental
to the bullion drain has, for the present at least,,
pied has gained strength. Including the supply
by the Parana, more than half of the million en
silver which is expected to be despatched to the East
by the Colombo on the 20th inst., is already pro-
wled; and the means of payment for a further
large portion is presented by the 342,0001. in gold
brought by the Swiftsure from Melbourne, and the
106,0001. in gold ex the Parana. Meanwhile the
continental buyers of gold are less eager, and it is
believed that a portion of the gold by the Swiftsure,
which will be delivered to-day, will go into the
Bank. Yesterday the 16,4001. in specie ex the City
of Washington, from New York, was purchased for
exportation to the Continent, in payment for silver.
The specie and bullion ex the steamer Parana,
from the West Indies and Mexico, are expected to
be in hand on Monday next.
The total value of the Australian gold known to
be actually on the way from Melbourne to this
country is 582,0001. The steamer Great Britain
I has been at sea 78 days with 406,6001. ; the steamer
Indomitable 99 days with 123,8001. ; the Summer
Cloud 87 days with 31,8401.; and the Sardinian 84
days vrithl9,B4ol.
The forthooming half-yearly dividend of the
Midland Railway Company is officially announced
at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum. For the
corresponding 'six months of last year the divi-
dend was at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum,
and for the same period of 1855 3i per cent. per
annum. _ _

We understand that at the meeting of the Great
Luxembourg Company, to be held on the 17th inst.,
in London, the directors will propose to issue the
86,600 bonds of 41. each which remain unissued out
of the total of 200,000 bonds originally authorised.
As it is necessary that the rate at which they are to
be issued shall be regulated by the current market
price of the existing securities, it is proposed to allot
these 41. bonds at the rate of 31. each. Owing
chiefly to this arrangement, a rum of about 100,0001.
will be required to make up the original estimated
capital of the company, and this additional sum
must hereafter be raised in some shape. The share
capital being now (except as regards calls in arrear)
fully paid up, it is natural that the directors should
have recourse to the unissued bonds.

The East India Company will receive tenders on
the 12th instant for the conveyance of 500 tons of
telegraph wire from Liverpool to Bombay and
Kurrachee. _ _ _

The Admiralty invite tenders for the conveyance

THURSDAT EVIOMIII.

The funds showed a little flatness this morning,
but, upon the whole, were decidedly firmer in cha-
racter to-day. The quotations current at the close of
the Stock Exchange were about per cent. better
than those of yesterday. The settlementuow virtually
completed shows that a great masa of stock is still
held on speculation, and this will of course be
brought forward for realisation upon any rally.
Meanwhile, however, there were a variety of reassur-
ing features to account for the partial recovery now
witnessed. Amongst these are the fact that the ac-
count has at length been arranged; the more nu-
merous investments of the public upon the recent
fall; the more settled appearance of the money
market ; the pause in the bullion drain; and, above
all, the hops, which is almost universally clung to,
that the next mail from India will bring news of
the fall of Delhi. _ - -

The rate of "continuation" on Consols has re-
mained at 7-16 to I per cent., up to the completion
of the settlement. To-morrow will be " pay-day "
in the Consul market, and it is now believed that
the requisite payments, though of extraordinary
magnitude, will be effected without embarrassment.
Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
90k to I for money, opentd this morning rather
flatly at 90 to 3, receded to 90 to 1, advanced to 001
to I, and were se quoted at the close of the Stock
Exchange. For the 9th of September the quotation
at four oclock was 901, " buyers," and at half put
gear, 901" sellers." The official business report is
as follows:—Throe per Cent. Consols, for money,
90k, I, 90,901, 90i ; ditto, for account, 9th Sept,
90i, h, j, a, 91. Three per Cent. Rednoed, 90k,

1 New Three per Cents., 901, 1, Bank Stock
2151, 217, 216, 2161. Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 981.
Exchequer Bills were firm at 3s. die. to par. India
Bonds were officially marked 225. to 16s. dis.
Turkish Six per Cents. receded at one period of
the day to 941 to 1, owing to the diplomatic
imbroglio at Constantinople, but the closing quota-
tion was 941 to 1, being fully as good as that of yes-
terday. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. left off
at 991 to lex div. Russian stocks continue in
request. The Five per Cents. were marked as high
as 1121. Spanish Three per Cents. were quoted
391 to 401 ; ditto, Deferred, 241 to 261; and Peru-
vian Four-and-a Half per Cents., 801 to 811.
The nominal closing quotations for the shares in
some of the new undertakings are subjained,viz.;—
Dude Railway, par; Central (lode lway, par
to h prem.; Eastern Bengal Railway, Ito prem. ;
Euphrates Valley Railway, 3.16 to 6.16 prem.;
European and Indian Junction Telegraph, dis. to
par ; Punjaub Railway, 1 to 1 prem.; Rip and
Dunaburg Railway, 1 to # per share; Pans Cho-
colate Company, par to prem.
