MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CtocE.

The funds to-day have shown increased buoyancy.
After rising nearly per cent., prices are now quoted
1 per cent. better than on Saturday. The share
markets are also very strong, although the current
business is chiefly in connexion with the settlement.
Consols for the Bth of April have touched 931, and
are now quoted on to ;. For money the price is
931, tot. Exchequer Bill., March, are marked Is.
dis. to 3s. prem. ; ditto, June, 3s. to Is. dis.; and
India Bonds, Is. dia.
Turkish Six per Cents. have recovered to 98 to
for money, and 981 to 1 for the 17th April. Other
foreign descriptions are quiet. The sales include
Brazilian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents. at 981;
Buenos Ayres Six per Cents. at 83 ; Dutch Four per
Cent. Certificates at 981; Mexican at 221 and 221 ;
ditto for account 17th April, at 23; Spanish Old Three
per Cents at 411 ; ditto New and Deferred, at 2d ;
the Passive Bonds at 61 and the Committee's Certifi-
cates at 61 to 81 per Cent.
About 40,0001. in gold is known to have been
taken from the Bank on Saturday, for exportation
to the Continent. . .

The Paris adriees mention the suspension of
Messrs. Green and Co., bankers, of that city. The
house was of old standing, but its transactions arc
believed to have diminished of late years.

--- • --
The imports of the precious metals last week
were trifling. Our list includes only 4,341 dollars
by the Parana, from the West Indica; 304,166
dollars (nearly all on continental account) by the
Niagara, from ICew York; 6,8361. by the Alhambra,
from the Peninsula ; and 4,88.51. by the Tamar, from
the Brazils. . . . .

--- -----
The total value of these arrivals is only about
0,0001. The imports of silver from the Continent
however, continue large. The London Custom-house
list this work includes 31 cases by the Albion, 43
cases by the Rhine, and 72 cases by the Panther—
all three from Boulogne; and 17 cases by the Dol-
phin, from Antwerp.
The Custom-house statement of the exports of the
precious metals direct from London daring the wet k
comprises 27,2000 z. and 4,a10/. in gold, of which
2,200 oz. and 4,5001. were for Hamburg, and
25,000 or. for Boulogne, and 2,5000 z. of silver coin
for the Mauritius. These remittances represent a
total value of about 110,0001.
Including 50,7501. in specie taken nut by the
Tagus from Southampton for the Peninsula, the
total exports of the week, as officially reported, are
raised to about 160,0001. The private remittances
of gold to the Continent have comprised, in addition.
the 61,0001. ex the Niagara, besides about 170,0001.
taken from the Bank to pay for silver.
The total withdrawals of gold from the Bank last
week are computed to have exceeded 200,000 L, in-
clusive of the sum despatched per the steamer Tagus
to the Peninsula.
We understand that the committee of shareholders
in the London and Paris Joint Stock Bank have in-
structed a solicitor to proceed against the directors
for the recovery of the 4,0001. appropriated under
the name of directors' allowances.
Saturday was " making-up day" in the railway
share market. The rates of interest charged for carry-
ing over the accounts of speculative holders were In
most cases moderate, and the settlement, conoc-
quently, imparted buoyancy to the market. On
French shares, however, the rates were heavier, in-
dicating an increased outstanding speculation for the
rise. The following shows the terms generally cur-
rent, viz. :

The extreme interest excited by the City Election
occasioned some interruption to business in the Stock

better. There was en evident disposition to hope
that the intelligence from China will prove correct.
The funds improved I per cent., and showed much
firmness throughout the day. In the railway share
market, although the settlement was in full pro-
gress, much buoyancy prevailed, and a considerable
advance in prices was established. Some of the

decidedly higher.
There was a good demand for money to-day in the
discount market, and the current terms continue
fully equal to those of the Bank.

fied with the proposed Bank of Turkey have with-
drawn from the undertaking, in consequence of a
difference u to the degree of control to be vested in

the London board. The closing price showed some
recovery from the lowest point of the day, but was
still 2 per mat. below that of yesterday, being 97t
to 98 for money. The "continuation" to the 17th
April ruled at to per cent.
