MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DA I.)

Two &Mom.

The funds to-day show renewed heaviness, owing
to the continued supply of stock. A fall of 3 per
cent. has taken place. In the share market the
tendency of prices is likewise drooping. Business
in the Stock Exchange is almost at a standstill.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at
67fr. We., showing no change.
Console are officially marked 891 and ex
div., for money, and 89$ and 3, ex div.,

Scarcely any business has been done in foreign
stocks, and the only feature is the continued heavi-
ness of Mexican Bonds. The Turkish Loan of
1854 remains steady, at 713 to 721; and that of
1858, at 5131 to 573. The only sales are recorded
as follows :—Mexican Three per Cents., 211 ; ditto
for account, 22.

The Canada has left to-day for Boston, with
103,2671. in specie.

Consols are quoted about the same as at
2 o'clock—viz., 89li toe, ex div., for money, and
89e to it, ex div., for the account.

About 45,0001. in bar gold and sovereigns was
withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation.
The steamer of the 4th July will take about
120,0001. in silver for Calcutta on government
account, which will be withdrawn from the Bank.
As the Bank return just published states the total
of silver bullion at only 212,3991. the supply there
will soon be exhausted.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
firm, and as regards bills on Holland, Hamburg, and
Frankfort the tendency was rather favourable.

The Yaratilda has arrived from China with

The Liverpool cotton market continues very
firm. The sales yesterday were to the extent of
12,000 bales.
It appears that the bulk of the claims under the
fire insurance policies on the property in Tooley-
street cannot be paid until some weeks hence, as
a vast number of details relating to salvage have to
be arranged. Where the property insured has been
entirely destroyed, the claim will be paid with
scarcely any delay. It may be considered, how-
ever, that these disbursements will be gradual, and
spread over a considerable period.
The failure of a speculator in shares at Man-
chester was announced yesterday.
We understand that the Commercial Bank of
London has now liquidated its banking liabilities,
by the realisation of assets and the maturing of
bills and loans. Credit is due to the directors and
to the manager, Mr. Cntbill, for the promptitude
with which this hes been accomplished. It is not
yet known when a distribution will take place
amongst the shareholders under the winding up,
but it will probably be at an early date. Since
the business of the bank was transferred to the
London and Westminster the shares of the latter
have improved about 61. This represents on the
total number of shares in that bank about 300,0001.
Subjoined is an account of a very interesting
event—the opening of the Scinde Railway for
traffic :

According to advice@ received from Kurrachee, of the
23M May last, the Scinde Railway was formally opened on
the 11th of that month by her Majesty's commit weer in
Undo, and oo the morning of the 13th the first public train
for passengers and goods ran from each terminus of the dins,
the crowd of passengers at the Kurraches terminus being
enormous. Since then great numbers of pameogere were
being conveyed daily. The quantity of goods delivered by
native traders for carriage far exceeded expectation sad
taxed to the utmost the mammas of the railway.
One firm alone offered to enter into en arrange-
ment for the conveyance of 140 tons per diem.
Sir Bartle From, on the 29th April, 1858, turned the first
sod of the Scinde Railway, and notwithstanding engineer-
ing and other difficulties, in little more than three years
thereafter his successor has declared the line to ho open for
public traffic. The Scinde Railway is 1:4 miles in length,
and is the first completed railway opened in India. The
commissioner in Scinde has alluded in terms of oommeeda-
tion to the excellence of the arrangements of the adminis-
traten of the railway, and called attention to tit% fact that
the workmen employed by the company upon the line,
drawn from Sciude, Beloochisten, Bhawulpoor, the Dee-
can, Catch, and from the confine* of Persia and China, had
all so conducted themselves that neither feuds nor disturb•
anew heel ever reached the ems of the authorities.

—tie half-year's interest at the rate of 7 per cent.
per annum is advertised on the preference shares of
the South Eastern of Portugal Railway Company.
Under the heading of "A new Telegraph Route
to China," the London and China Telegraph has the
following :
Message' can now be sent from London through Russia
to China, the route being to Kasen, thence aid Kiachts to
Peking either by post or by Estafette from Keillll to
Kiachta, and thence to Peking. The charges are as follows:
—A message of 20 words to Kaman, V. 2e. ; Kama to
Kinchta, Ri days post, and to Peking, 14 days, Ba. if sent
by &taloa,e the time saved will be eight days, but the ex-
pense increased by 261.
The same journal states that on the 23rd April •
large instalment of the indemnity was paid into
the government bank at Canton by the Chinese
government, in accordance with the terms of the
convention signed at Peking.
The Gazette specie statement fur the week end-
ing Wednesday last gives the following totals,
viz. :—lmports of gold, 117,482/. ; exports of gold,
476,011. ; impom of silver, 8,449/. ; exports of
silver, 291,107/.

day being 22 to 4.
With the exception of a slight improvement in
Union Bank of London, there was no alteration
worthy of notice to-day in the market fur bank

With reference to Stray Park Mine, the circular

Stray Park (between Dolccath Mine and Oamborne Veen
Mine) has further considerably improved. The lode ia
170 is looking bettor, and the south lode has been cut geed
is MO, which is reported to be worth 3 toes of copper as
per 0,0,011, so far u Men. My agent wM inspect the ndas
this week, and his report will appear in next week's cir-
cular.

The subjoined weeklya of the metal market
ia extracted from the circular of were. von Dadela-
nen and North :

Trade continues still very stagnant, and though both
copper and tin experienced • fall of 51. per ton but little in-
crease seems to bare been given to business, and operations
in all kinds of metals are much restricted. Welab bars near
these 5/. per ton, f.0.b., in Wales, and the press here he
not changed from our last week's report ; the demand
very slatk. Staffordshire continues dull. A large spew-
latice business has been done in Scotch pig iron, at an
vans of ls. per ton, closing 50a. 6d., coal.
copper was reduced, on the 24th, id. per lb. for maw
factored, and 5/. per ton for unmanufactured. This
reduction could not be kept back any longer, the under.
selling that has been going on for • long time— business baring
been done at 10d. per lb.—and the heavy arrivabs of foreign
copper, made such a step quite necessary. Hardly soy
business has been done in foreign, and we quote Bunn eel
Napoli& nominally 97/. ; Baltimore ingot, 951. Tin :
149,188 slabs Banta and 6,405 slabs Billiton mentioned in
our last report were sold on the 26th in Amsterdam at 6911-
equal to 117/. 15e. per too, delivered here ; all orders e•
tailed 15 per cent. Since the result of this isle Straits ha
has been sold here to some extent at 1151. and 1141. 16a
English refined still stands at 1271., but an official rodeo-
lion may be hourly expected. Tin Plata: No demand;
almost impossible to effect sales. Lead has not varied ire
our last. Spatter is firmer, and from all appearances IP,
have earn the lowest for the present. We quote the pow.
chose 16/. fis. to 161. 10e. OD the spot for ordinary brands;
in Hull, 161. ss. ; BEL 161. 10s. ; Wfl, 171.
