MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
The funds this morning sustained a further sid-
eline of / per cent., owing to the prospect that no
seduction of the rate of discount will be made this
week. A recovery has taken place, however,
and prices are now quotrd about 1-18 per cent. bet-
ter than they closed yesterday.
Consols, after declining to 92/ to 03, are now
quoted exactly 94 ex div. for the 9th July. The
Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 921 to
& tho New Three per Cents., 921 to 1 ; Exchequer
Bills, ss. dls. to par. ; and Exchequer Bonds, 981
to 1.
Russian stocks remain firm, and in other foreign
descriptions there is little movement. Subjoined is
a complete list of the morning's sales, viz. :—Brazi-
Ilan Old Vivi. per Cents., 100 ; Chilian Six per
Cents.,. 102/ ; Trureh Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
651 to 651 (exchange, 1211.) ; Granada Deferred,
; Meriden, forjacconnt (30th June), 221; Rue.
sftus Five per CePts., 110 ; ditto Fourind-a-Ralf
per Cents., 98 to 19; Spanish Deferred Three per
Cents., for account, 261 ; and Turkish Onaranteed
Four per Ceuta, 1014.
In the discoant market yesterday great activity pre-
vailed, and full rates are exacted. At periods when
the government balance is so large as at present, the
general circulation beanies proportionately con-
nected, and the Bank is rendered temporarily a
holder—and therefore a dispenser—of money to an
unusually large amount. Until the release of the
July dividends, therefore, a good demand at the
Bank is to be naturally looked for.
Of the 244,0001. in specie brought by the Niaganft
from New York, about 144,0001. reached London yen
talky, the rest being on continental account. Of thissin, about 40,0001. in bar gold was purchared for
mmeatalion to Cadiz by the steamer Sultan, which
win leave Southampton to-day, and which may
=are out some additional remittances. The

Anisdria =Or, was taken for transmission to the

that the shipments of specie.and
It the East by the Pera on the 20th inst. will
NS& unprecedented total of about a million and
a qaarter sterling, notwithstanding the cheek im-
posed by the rise in the rates of insurance. The
magnitude of the mutant is in great measure attri-
butable to the receipt per the steamer Parana, in
the first weak of this month, of an enormous supply
et silver from Mexico. To-morrow will be the last
nay for
effecting shipments by the Pers.
amounts of silver continua to be received
from t e Continent. Since Saturday morning, the
steamers Rhine and Albion have arrived from Boa-
logne, the former with 32, and the latter with .§
oesses ; and the Clarence, from Antwerp, with le
cases and 11 casks. The value of these remittances
is probably not less than 140,0001.
The steamer Parana, for the West Indies, will
take oat 24,0001. in specie, of which 12,8001. is gold,
end the rest silver.

Bank of England, notwithstanding the increase in.
its resources, will make no alteration in the rate of
discount this week, and the demand for money.
continuing active in all quarters, the speculators in •
the funds, who yesterday showed a strong dispo...
eition to buy, today turned sellers. Further bond .
file sales of Reduced Three per Cents. and Ex-
chequer Bills were also pressed, leading to a very
brisk demand for money in the Stock Exchange at
61 per cent. on government securities, at which rate
some leas were obtained at the Bank. The cense.
queues was a fall of 1 per cent in the funds, which
closed without sign of recovery.
