MONEY MAREET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLooz.

Owing to a report that the Indian mail has
arrived with unfavourable news, the funds
have to-day fallen per cent. The ru-

moors current must be received with can.
tion, but they are to the effect that Delhi still
holds out; that General Havelock had been
unable to advance beyond Cawnpore, and
that a regiment either at Madras or Bombay, or
both, has shown symptoms of mutiny,and been imme-
diately disarmed by the European force. We give
this merely as the rumour upon which the fall is
based : how far the reports arc correct remains to be
seen:

Consols for the 14th of October were first marked
901, and have since felon to 891 to 90. For money
the present price is 891 to ;. Exchequer Bills are
marked 10s. to Os. dia. ; and Exchequer Bonds,
l&S8, 981.

Turkish Six per Cents. are a' little Ratter, at
941 to 95. In other foreign stocks there is
no alteration of importance. Bales are re-
corded as follows t—Mexican Bonds at 211
and 21i; Peruvian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents. at
781; Russian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents. at 98i ;
Spanish Old Three per Cents., 401; and Turkish
Guaranteed Four per Cents., at 99g.
The True Briton has arrived from Melbourne,
with 61,893 ounces of gold and 30,400 sovereigns;
and the Noutmshal, from Sydney, with 3,334 ounces
and 20,000 sovereigns—the total value of the two
remittances being about 317,0001. The dates, in
each case, have been anticipated.
It is now understood that Wednesday week will
probably be fixed as the day of humiliation and
prayer. We presume the Stock Exchange will be
shut, and business in all quarters suspended.
The imports of the precious metals last week
were rather limited. Our list includes 200,8001. by
the Montmorency, from Melbourne; 1,0001. by the
America, and 2,4001. by the Vanderbilt, both from
New York; 4,8001. by the Colombo, from Alexan-
dria; and 2,3151. by the Euxine, from the
Peninsula.

The total value of these supplies is about 211,0001.
The imports of silver from the Continent, for ex-
portation to the East, were trifling, the direct
arrivals in the Thames comprisingscarcely more than
25,0001.
The Custom-house weekly statement of the ex-

ports of the precious metals direct from London
includes 33,620 ounces of gold, and 22,000 ounces
and 7601. in silver, representing a total value of
about 136,00 W. These supplies were sent chiefly to
France. The particulars are as follows, viz.:—
Gold coin—To Boulogne, 120 ounces. Gold bars—
To Boulogne, 32,300 ounces; to Belgium, 1,200
ounces. Silver coin—To Boulogne, 14,000 ounces ;
to Dunkirk, 3,000 ounces. Silver bullion—To Ham-
burg, 7301. ; to Boulogne, 3,000 ounces.
The " gerants" of the London General Omnibus
Company announce a dividend of 4s. per share, or 6
per cent., out of the profits realised during the six
months ending the 4th July last. A general
meeting of the shareholders is called for the 20th
Oct., in London, "for the pupate of receiving the
reports of the grants and members of the Connell of
Supervision, and the statement of the accounts for
the half-year ending 4th July, to con-
sider a project for new and extensive de-
velopment of the business of the company,
and for other general business." It is reported
that by the " new and extensive development" is
signified a proposal for the company to build a large
number of new omnibuses. It is to he hoped that
the shareholders will avail themselves of thus oppor-
tunity to demand full and explicit details of the
company's accounts, the snore especially if addi-
tional capital is to be spent. It is one of the most
serious disadvantages of companies formed under the
French law that English shareholders are virtually
deprived of control over the management of thew
property. We believe that by far the larger pro-
portion of this company's shares are now in the
hands of English holders, to whom they have been
gradually transferred from French subscribers ; and,
as the English law now confers the privilege for
the attainment of which the undertaking was
avowedly constituted under a foreign law, why
should not the company adopt measures for register-
ing themselves under the Limited Liability Act ?
Until they do so, and the accounts and system of
management are laid bare, it is evident that the
shares will never stand well in the market.
The traffic returns of all the French railways for
the last week exhibit an increase over those of last
yyeear, with the single exception of the Mediterranean
Thee Dutch Rhenish Railway Company advertise
the interest on the first and second series of their
loan of 4,800,0006.
In pursuance of resolutions adopted at a recent
meeting of the company, held at Paris, shareholders
in the Submarine Telegraph Company have the
option of converting their 11. shares into 201. shares.
Another extramffinary meeting of the Traveller!
and Marine Insurance Company is called for the sth
Oct., to consider certain alterations of the deed of
settlement, in connexion with the purchase of the
business of another company.

SATVRDAT ET /NIRO.

In the discount market and at the Bank the de-
mand for money, which yesterday was very heavy,
was to-day to a fair extent. During the last two or
three days, and especially yesterday, numerous ap-
plications were also made to the Bank for advances
upon government securities at 51 per cent. The set•
tlement in shares and foreign stocks next week will
probably stimulate the demand in the Stock Ex-
change.

At Paris to-day the French funds exhibited in-
creased buoyancy. The Three per Cent. Rentes
closed at 68 for money, and 68.23 teethe end of Sep_
tember. The rise in the money price is about 3-16 per
cent., and in the account price I per cent., compared
with the closed quotations of yesterday. On the
Ileum yesterday the " continuation" on the Three
per Cents. to the end of October ruled at 33c., or
nearly f, per cent., being equal to about Gi per cent.
per annum. The "discounts" posted up yesterday
included 730 Crtdit Mobilier shares, which are
described as scarce in the market, 200 Paris and
Lyons Railway, 150 Eastern Railway old shams,
and 123 Northern Railway shares.
At Amsterdam yesterday a further improvement
took place in Austrian stock. At Berlin Russian
stock was quoted lower.

At hamburg the rate of discount has risen to 6,
per cent.

Consols closed the same as yesterday—viz., at 90
to k for money, and 901 to for the 14th October,
and scarcely varied from these quotations through-
out the day. The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90
90 ; ditto, for account, 14th October, 94, 90 l.
India Stock, 209, 210.

Scarcely any business took place in foreign stocks,
the only Mature being some inquiry for Turkish Six
per Cents., which advanced k per cent., closing at
941 to 93k. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. were
quoted 991 to 1 ; Peruvian Four-and-a Half per
Cents. 78 to 80 ; and Spanish Deferred Three per
Cents., 251 to J. The only stocks in which transac-
tions are officially reported are the following, viz.:

The Board of Trade returns for the month of
August were issued to-day, and the figures referring
to the leading articles will be found in another co-
lumn. The aggregate exports in July, it will be re-
membered, were 22 per cent. above those of July,
