IMONEY JIARKBT.-THIS DAY.
Two o'Cloci.

1 The funds opened flatly, upon the details of the
Indian news given in the public journals, but
a rumour has since widely prevailed that
the town of Delhi has really been captured
by the British troops, and the market has con-
sequently advanced. The funds are now quoted
to per cent. higher than at four o'clock yesterday.
Consols were first marked 901 foe the 6th August,
rose to 91 to 1, and are now quoted exactly 91. For
money the price is 901 to 91. The Three per Cents
Reduced have been dealt in at 901 to 91t;
the New Three per Cents. at 90j to 91,; India
Stock at 214; Exchequer Bills at Bs. to la. dim.;
Exchequer Bonds, leas, at 981; and India Bonds at
20s. to ltic die.

Turkish Six per Carts. were first marked 941, and
have since risen considerably, being last marked
Other foreign stocks arc steady. Buenos Ayres
Bonds are marked 84. Dutch Four per Cents.,
98; Granada Deferred, 6; Mexican, for account,
22?, ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cente., 98 to 981
Sardinian Fire per Cents., 891; the Spanish Coupon
Certificates, 51 to 51 per cent.; and Turkish Gua.
intact(' Four per Cents., 100 to 1001 ex div.
The belief that the outstanding speculation for
the rise bad been considerably reduced by the exten-
sive sales of the last few days contributes to ren-
der the market steadier, but it is possible that a por-
tion of the stock sold may have been merely trans-
ferred to the hands of a new set of speculative
bolder.. These, however, naturally evince more
confidence, considering the present reduced prices.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of the sums bor-
rowed on the previous day, the pressure in the dis-
count market continued yesterday without mitigation,
and the applications at the Bank were again exten-
sive. Preparations for the 4th of August are in full
progress. Meanwhile the arrangements for with-
drawing enormous masses of silver from the Conti-
nent and transmitting gold from the Bank in return,
greatly aggravate the pressure. In the Stock
Exchange moray was in demand in the earlier part
of the day, at .51 per cent. on Government securi-
ties, but in the afternoon there was a better supply.
At Paris yesterday the Three per Cent. Rentes
closed at 66.65 for money, and 66.80 for the end of
July. The price for money shows a trifling decline,
but that for the account an advance of 1 percent.
This indicates that the market was chiefly supported
by speculative purchases. The directors of the Bank
of France, at their meeting on Thursday, derided that
it would be premature to reduce the rate of discount,
a decision which was fully anticipated on this side,
although some of the speculators in Paris had per-
suaded themselves that a relaxation would be deter-
mined upon.
Between 40,0001. and 50,000/. in gold is under-
stood to have been taken from the Bank yesterday,for
exportation to the Continent, in payment for silver,
making an ascertained total of between 220,0001.
and 230,0001. this week.

The imports of Continental silver' intended for
shipment by the Ripon, on the 4th August, are un-
precedentedly heavy. During the last two or three
days a total of 151 cases and 50 casks, representing
an aggregate of eome 200,0001., have been received
by the following steamers, viz.: the Panther and
Stine, from Boulogne; the Baron Osy, from Ant-
werp; the Concordia, from Rotterdam; and the
Elbe, from Hamburg.
. . . . . _

Owing to the activity of the demand, the price of
silver has again advanced 4d., being now firm, at
5.. 2d. per ounce standard.
The foreign exchanges retain a drooping tendency.
Yesterday afternoon there was a decided decline in
the rates on Holland. As regards paper on Belgium,
Hamburg, Genoa, Leghorn, and short bills on Paris,
the movement was also unfavourable. The current
quotations are shown below :
Amsterdam, three mouths, 11.19 to ; ditto, short,
11.181 to 17; Rottentern, three mouths, 1 11.19,1 to ; Ant-
werp and Brunel; three mouths, 25.321 to 5; Nurnberg,
three months, 13.81 to f ; Parte, three month., 25.57/ to
621; ditto, short, 26.171 to 221; Marseilles, three months,
25.60 to 2j; Frankfurt-on-the•Marue, three mouths, 1191
to 1; Petersburg, three months, 361 to I; Vienna, three
months, 10.29 to 31; Trinte, three months, 10.30 to 3;
Naples, three month., 421 to I ; Genoa, three monthe, 25.721

The corn market yesterday was dull and thinly
attended, but necessitous buyers were required to
" " - - •••" - •

pay nearly last Monday's rates. The harvest is now
general throughout the country, and promises to
prove most abundant, the weather being remarkably
favourable. The number of floating cargoes of grain
arrived at ports of call since last Friday is 29.
Maize can be purchased at a reduction from the rates
recently quoted.
In the tea market yesterday common ('ongou was
purchased at Is. 20., showing a slight advance.
Holders of indigo arc asking higher prices.
At Constantinople, on the 29th July, we learn by
telegraph, the exchange on London had advanced to
137 piastres. This movement indicates the con-
tinued discredit of the Turkish financial system, and
incredulity as to the success of the numerous recent
attempts at a remedy. These advices make no men-
tion of the reported stoppage of Mr. (iiustiniani, of
Constantinople, but allege, on the contrary, that it
is the intention of that house to assist the firm which
has just suspended in London.
Letters from St. l'etenburg, dated the 2.3 th July,
report the exchange on London rather flatter, at
37/. The Russian funds were looking up, owing to
the recent reduction of the rate of interest on Ex-
chequer Bills from 4to 3 per cent. Wheat was dull
and tallow flat; but large transactions continued to
take place in hemp, at 29 ro.
The directors of the North Eastern Railway
Company intend to recommend a payment
at the rate of .5 per cent. l' annum on
Berwick stock, 4 per cent. on York and North Mid-
land, nod 2 per cent. on Leeds Northern. For the
corresponding period of lust year, the dividend on
Berwick stock was at the rate of only 4 per cent. per
annum, and on York and North Midland only 21
per cent. per annum.
London and South-Western Railway Stock was
rather flat yesterday, upon the official announcement
of a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum.
The dividend for the corresponding half of last year
was at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum.
The half-yearly meeting of the North-Eastern
Railway Company is called for the 21st August, at
York.

The Medway has been accepted by the Emigra-
tion Commissioners for the conveyance of pabsengers

from Plymouth to Melbourne.
The following weekly summary of the produce
markets is from Messrs.V. J. and 11. Thompson:
In the colonial markets them has not been mui h anima-
tion, and only a moderate amount of business reported. At
the commencement of the week there was more demand for
sugar, and to some instance. an talvanre of Is. per cwt. ob-
tained ; but yeatenlay and to-dity the role, went off heavily,
and this enlmnorment 'satinet supported. There has been very
little inquiry for coffee, and prbieely same macs of Plantation
Ceylon have been made at a considerable decline on preview
prime. The public sake have gone off at a rritut lion of
about Is. to Is. ed. per cwt, from the hnhcet point. The
speculative feeling for saltpetre has contiuucd, and the Wes
made show ■ further rime of about 2s. to 3.. per cat. In the
common kinds of ties there has been more business doing in
flouting cargoes, and on the spot tine qu Aline. have brought
extreme quotations. The tea market this week has been
Amer, with an upward tendency.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday. July 25, compared with the pre-
vious return, shows the following results:

The decrease in the private deposits, though
heavy, is more than counteracted by the increase
is the Treasury deposits, and, as the " other securi

ties" have run off to the extent of 132,2921., the
stock of unemployed notes has increased 2.17,04331.
Against this favourable feature, however, must be
set the decrease of 167,6741. in the bullion, caused
by the withdrawals of gold to pay for silver. There
is room to apprehend that the next return will be a
less favourable one.
