MONEY MARKET-(THIS DAY.)

Notwithstanding the news from America, the
funds are firmer to-day. A rise of per
cent. has taken place. The chief impulse
rests with the decided advance which took place
yesterday on the Paris Bourse, and which is
maintained to-day. Some of the principal English
railway stocks are lower. The chief movement in
the Stock Exchanp to-day, however, is in Turkish
Bonds, particularly in the loan of 1858, which has
risen considerably.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
69fr. 20c., being the same as they closed yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 911, 1, and 92 for
money, and 91i and 92 for the account. The present
quotations are 911 to 92, both for money and the
9th inst. The official business report is as follows
:

90, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 901, 90, ; Thirty
Years' Annuities, 1885, 151 ; India Five per

In the foreign stock market there is a great rise
in the Turkish Loan of 1858, owing to the com-
munication just received from the Turkish minister;
transactions have taken place from 551 up to 66.
The advance therefore is 11 to 2 per cent. The
loan of 1834 has advanced 1 per cent., being
quoted 71 to 1. Other foreign stocks are quiet,
but steady. Sales are recorded as follows

At an adjourned meeting to-day of the creditors
of Messrs. J. G. Behrende and Co., Bast India
merchants, it was resolved to wind up the
estate in bankruptcy, owing to the difficulty in ad-
justing the account between the firm and its corre-
spondents in Calcutta, Messrs. Ogle and Co.
At Vienna on Tuesday there was a decline in the
Austrian funds.

The discount market was again:tighter yesterday.
The supply of money seems to be diminishing.
The rate for the beet bills yesterday wiui 41 per cent.
At the Bank of England, nevertheless, the demand
continues very moderate.

About 10,0001. in gold was purchased from the
Bank yesterday for exportation.
Government will send upwards of 100,0001. in
silver to Calcutta by the next outward steamer.
The Atrato will take to-day only 5,035/. in
specie for the West Indies.
About 460,0001. in Australian gold may now be
considered duo, and will probably arrive, now that
the wind is veering round from the eastward. The
Ca!hence, from Melbourne to London, with
196,0001. in gold, has now been at sea 113 days.
No anxiety is felt, however, at Lloyd'', as she was
spoken with on the 13th of April. The Southampe
ton, with 86,0001., has been out 102 days ; the
Copenhagen, with 205,0001., 93 days ; the Empress

with sales to the extent of 10,000 bales.
Mr. J. E. Coleman has returned from his visit to
France in connexion with the position of the
Greek interest. It is understood that the result is
satisfactory ; but any positive announcement on
the subt would be premature at present.
The Daily News insert a letter, which is the
medium of the important intelligence that the
Turkish government has promptly acceded to the
prayer of the memorial lately addressed to it
through its minister in London, by the holders of
the Six per Cent. Loan of 1858. Arrangements
are decided upon and already in train providing
for the punctual remittance, month by month, to
the Commission which represents the bondholders
at Constantinople, of the Customs revenues spe-
cially assigned to this Loan. All that will then be
required is that the Commission remit the money,
as fast as it reaches their hands, to London.
