MONEY MARKET.-T 111.5 DAY.

Two oTtocw.

The funds are firmer today, and yesterday's
decline of per cent. baa been recovered. In the
railway share market an upward tendency is
observable.

Consols are steady, at 931 to for money, and 931
to 1 for the Bth April. Exchequer Bills (March)
are marked 1 du. to 4 prem. ; ditto June, ss. dia. ;
Exchequer Bonds, at 981 to 1 ; and India Bonds at
6 dia.

Turkish Six per Cents. are better, being marked
94 and 981 for money, and 981, 991, and 981 for
the 17th April. Other foreign stocks exhibit
little alteration. The sales include Austrian Five
per Cents. 811 (exch. 109.); Belgian Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. 53 (exch. 25fr.) ; ditto Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 981; I)utch Four per Cent. Certifs.,
991 to 99; Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 102;
Mexican Bonds, 221, 221, and 221 ; Portuguese
Three per Cents., 1833, 43 to 451; Russian Four-
and-s-lialf per Cents., 96; Turkish Guaranteed
Four per Cents., 101, for money.

Today is " making-xp day" in the share market,
and the settlement will extend over Monday and
Tuesday.

Assuming that the dates of sailing previously
fixed were adhered to, the steamer Royal Charter,
from Melbourne, has now been at sea 71 days, the
ship Austral 92 days, the White Star 87 days, and
the Anglesey 83 days. This batch of vessels will
doubtless bring a large quantity of gold.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally steady. Bills on Vienna and Trieste were
quoted rather higher, but the rate on Naples conti-
nues to decline. The current quotations are given
below, viz.
----- - - - -

Amsterdam, three months, 11.18} to ; ditto, abort, 11.16 e

and Breasels, three months, 25.43 to 60 ; Homburg, three

The corn market yesterday was quiet, at former
rates. The arrivals of foreign gram in London this
week have been small,except of oats. Since last Friday
only seven poi! laden vessels have arrived at port of
call. The inquiry for maize on Spanish account
continues.

The Dutch Trading Company's sale of coffee, held
at Rotterdam yesterday, is reported to have gone off
at a half cent. above the previous sale.
Northern of France Railway shares were in great
request yesterday, owing to reports pointing to an in-
armed dividend. A rumour of an impending issue
of new shares is also prevalent. This operation is
probably in connexion with the proposed Paris and
Soissons line, the concession of which has been ob-
tained by the Northern of France Company.
It is understood that the Southern of France Rail-
way from Bordeaux to Cctte, with its branches, will
be opened throughout the entire length of 318 miles
at the end of the present month, with the exception
of two short branches of about 33 miles in length
together. The winter traffic of the section from
Bordeaux to Toulouse had reached about 1,3401. per
mile, showing an increase of 48 per cent. over the
corresponding period of 1833-6, and it is anticipate,'
that when the entire line is opened it will yield at
least from 2,8001. to 2,7004 per mile throughout.
As its vicinity to the great coal fields of the south
renders the cost of working much lower that on
many other lines, it is anticipated that the expenses
under that head will notexoeed at the utmost 40 per
cent. of the gross earnings. We see it calculated
that, after pa mg 94,9601. per annum for the in-
terest and sin fund of the bonds, a surplus of
above 809,0001. w l remain for dividend, equal to
31. 4s. 6d. per share. As these shares are now
quoted at 34 to 34i, with 201. paid, they offer,
assuming the above estimates to be well founded,
the widest margin for profit of any of the French
railways.
At the meeting of the Tourney to Jurbise and
Landen to Bassett Railway Company, held yester-
day at Brussels, a dividend of 10s. Old. per share
was declared. The traffic is described as showing a
satisfactory increase.
It is announced in Paris that the treaty for the
fusion of the Swiss railways, including the North
Eastern, Central, and Western of Switzerland, has
been signed.
It is stated that the Lyons and Geneva Railway
Company has received official sanction to make a
circular line around Lyons, connecting this railway
with the Mediterranean Railway Company's system.
The Lyons and Geneva Company, it is alleged, will
be authorised to raise 600,000!. in bonds.
We understand that the accounts of the London
General Omnibus Company are now undergoing the
requisite audit, and that they will allow of a divi-
dend of as. per share for the last six months, being
at the rate of upwards of 12 per cent. per annum.
A surplus of about 2,0001., it is believed, will re-
main over, and may perhaps form the nucleus of a
reserve fund.

The position of the market for American railway
securities is thus noticed by Mr. E. F. Satter-
%waits :
Hominids in Awoken lecarkies in London daring the past
week has teem gullet, without marked change in prices.
Tenders will be received by the Emigration Com-
missioners on the 2nd of April for the hire of ships,
which must be ready to receive passengers, for con-
veyance to Sydney, Melbourne, and Belfast (Aus-
tralis), between the 16th and 23rd of May.
The Admiralty will receive tender, on the 31st
inst. for the conveyance, by steam or sailing vessels,
of about 23 officers and 807 men (of the 16th Regi-
ment) from Quebec to Dublin.

The increase of 24,6324 in the metallic stock is
the more satisfactory considering that some 60,0001.
in gold is known to have left the Bank for the Con-
tinent during the week referred to. The drain is,
thus far, counteracted by the influx of coin from
other quarters. The moat unfavourable item of the
account is that of "other securities," which has now

riben to the extraordinary total of nearly twenty
millions. When the Bank is called upon to make
advances to this extent there is much reason to ap-
prehend that the April dividends have been " dis-
counted." The reserve of unemployed notes has been
trenched upon to only a limited extent, the imme-
diate applications for accommodation baying been
met, so to steak, out of the in-coming Treasury and
other deposits.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The funds opened steadily this morning, but a de-
cline of t per cent. was ultimately establOted,
owing to some considerable bond fide sales, mita&
with an increased demand for money in the Stock ,
Exchange at 6to 61 per cent. on Consols. In con-
sequence of this demand, coupled with the commer-

cial requirements, there were numerous applications
at the Bank. In the general discount market the
demand was steady, at full rates. Next week
the liabilities incidental to the 4th of April
will have to be met, and the Stock Ea-
, change settlement in shams and foreign stocks,
commencing to.morrew, will occasion some de-
mand. The dividend period is now sear at band,
but in many quarters an impression continues to pre-
vail that the magnitude of the:repayments then fall-
ing due at the Bank will prevent any permanent re-
lief to the market.

The fwida are chiefly restrained from any upward
movement by the state of the speculative account, in
face of the approaching settlement. The charge for
carrying over the accounts of operators for the rise
to the 7th of May is again about # per cent.
Consols for the Bth April opened at 931 to 1, de-
clined to 931 to 1, and closed at 931, "sellers."
For money, the last price was 931 to 4, and for
the 7th May 94 to 1. The official business report is
as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
94, I, ; ditto, for account, Bth April, 932, I, 1.
Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in Jan., 1860,
2 11-16. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer
Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 981.
The March Exchequer Bills were quoted par to
3s. prem. ; the June Bills, ss. to ls. dia. • Exchequer
Bonds, asi to 99; and India Bonds, 4e. ilia. to par.
Turkish stocks exhibited considerable firmness,
and closed the same as yesterday—the Six per
Cents. at 981 to 1, and the Guaranteed Foar. per
Cents. at 101 to 1. Mexican Bonds declined to 221
to 1, and left off at 221 to 23, being 1 per cent.
lower than yesterday. Other foreign nocwidei
present little change.
Ottoman Bank shares showed heaviness to-day,
owing to realisations by parties who hud effected
speculative purchases in anticipation of the fa-
vourable statement recently published. After
declining to i prem. " sellers," the price closed
at I to 1 prem. Bank shares were gene-
rally flat, and most of the Australian descrip-
tions were quoted rather lower. National Discount
shares have receded to 11-16 to 9-16 dis. Victoria
Dock and Peninsular and Oriental Steam were also
weaker. London General Omnibus closed at I tcl
prem., and Crystal Palace ordinary shares at 2 7-16
to 9-16. North of Europe Steam have again fallen,
owing to the disclosures made at the meeting
jay; transactions are officially recorded at 111, 11,
and 12 (201. paid). London Dock stock was
narked 1011.
. . . .

The share; of the General Bank of Switzerland
were quoted 2 to 1 dia.
The nominal closing quotations for the newly pro-
jected railways are subjoined, viz.: Punjaub Railway,
to pram. ; Oude Railway, par to 1-16 prem. ;
Northern Bengal Railway, par to #prem. ; Central
Oude Railway, / to 3-16 prem. ; Eastern Bengal
Railway, to prem. ; Calcutta and South East-
ern Railway, par to 1.16 prem. ; Euphrates Val-
ley Railway, 1-16 to # prem.; Riga Railway, It
to It prem.; Italian Junction Railways, it to I
die. ; North of India Tramroad, 1-16 to # prem. ; and
Trinidad Railway, /to prem.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoac.

Very little business is going forward to-day in
home mining stocks, and the market presents
no feature of novelty. The British Iron Company's
shares have been dealt in on the Stock Exchange at
74 and 71.
No business whatever is officially reported in
foreign mining stocks.
Subjoined is a list of yesterday's transactions in the
Mining Exchange.

Metals generally this week have been very dull, in fact
little business has been done, the elections occupying so much
attention. Copper is quiet with no change in price. Iron
is dull, and the tendency of prices is stiff downwards. Scotch
pig iron has declined about ls. per ton, and the thipments
have fallen off. Lead maintains its position. Speller is
weak, and prices have declined. Tin is also more offered,
sad acme parcels of foreign for ash may be bought cheap.
We are informed that atthe approaching adjourned meeting
of the San Fernando Silver IPA Mining and Smelting Com-
pany, which is to be held at Paris, a fusion of the property
lately worked by the New Linares Company is contemplated,
together with a complete re-orgsniaation of the undertaking,
including a change in the prate, and in the direction of the
mines, ,tc., by the nomination of throe English gentlemen
esteemed in Spanish mining affairs.
The annual meeting of the Anglo-Mexican Mint Company
is called for the 7th April.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The market for home mining siocksremainCit,
with little inquiry. In some eases flatness prevails.
North Frances, North Blesaet, and Tincroit shares
were all quoted lower to-day.
Foreign descriptions present no important varia-
tion.
