MONEY MAREET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoat.

The funds opened flatly this morning, and even
declined per cent., but a rally has since
taken place, and prima are now quoted i per cent.
better than they closed yesterday. At the present
moment the other Stock Exchange markets are also
steadier.

Consols for money and the 4th June, after de.
dining to 931 to 1, are now quoted 931 to 94.
The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 921 to 1 ;
the New Three per Cents., 921 to ; Bank Stock,
212 to 214 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 2s. prem. ;
ditto, June, le. prem. ; and India Stock, 223.
Turkish Six per Cents. are steady, at 94; to 951;
and the Guaranteed Four per Cents. at 1011
to Mexican Bonds are somewhat firmer,
being marked 221 for money and 231
for the 18th June. The other sales arc
limited to Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 981 ; Buenos Ayres Bonds at 871; Granada
Active at 221; ditto Deferred, at 81 ; Rus-
sian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 971 ; Spanish
Old Three per Cents., for account, at 421 ; and
Venezuela Deferred, at 14.
The ship La Hogue ham arrived from Sydney
with 4,336 oz. of gold and 100 sovereigns on freight,
worth about 17,5001.
In view of the increased drain of silver to China,
and of the continued stringency of the money
market, speculators for higher prices in the various
departments of the Stock Exchange continue to
evince a disposition to close, or at least reduce, their
accounts, in preference to paying the high rates of
interest exacted at each settlement. An unfavoura-
ble impression was produced yesterday by the non- ,
appearance of the government broker as a buyer of
Exchequer Bills. Since the Bth inst. fully half a
million of these securities have been absorbed
by the Savings Bank Commissioners, the pur-
chases being at the rate of 30,0001. per diem, with-
out the intermission of a single day. Somel
symptoms of flatness in the continental exchanges
also aggravated the tendency towards depression yes-
terday, as any unfavourable movement would pro-
mote the diversion to the Continent, in payment for
silver, of at least a portion of the expected supplies
of gold. . . .

The next account in Consols, terminating on the
9th July, will be of 36 days' duration. The current
rate of continuation " is I to .1 per cent. The
latter rate is equal to nearly 8 per cent, per annum,
but this is inclusive of income-tax.

Although no reliance is to be placed upon
rumours that the shipments of silver by the
Indus on the 4th of June will reach a million
sterling, the amount for which preparation is being
made is sufficiently large to influence the money
market, the arrangements for the collection and
tranamiasion of 600,0001. or 800,0001. in treasure
naturally inducing a considerable demand for ac-
commodation. Some of the chief firms engaged in
these operations usually Mille a good portion of the
requisite funds by borrowing upon stock in the Stock
Exc
Ahange.
t Berlin, Hamburg, and other continental cities,
Russian stocks have of late exhibited an upward
tendency.
Of the 178,0001. in gold ex the Istanboul, from
Melbourne, about 100,0001. has been purchased by
the Bank, and the rest has been taken for the
Continent.

The whole of the 78,9001. in gold received from
St. Petersburg, per the steamer Flora, has been pur-
chased for transmission to the Continent. .

The Baron Osy his arrived from Antwerp, with
59 cases of silver specie on freight. The value of this
remittance is probably about 50,0001.
On Change yesterday afternoon the rates for bills
on nearly all the chief Continental cities were quoted
rather less favourable for this country. The current
quotations are shown below :
Amsterdam, three month ,12 to 12.01; ditto, short, 11.17
to 18, Rotterdam, three months, 12.01 to 12.01; Antwerp and
Beassels, three months, 26.60 to 6 , Randrurt three
maths, 13.81 to 1; Pais, three months, 25.70 to 2 ; ditto,
g=i206Ti2,6.t0 30; Marseilles, three months, 26.7 to 6 ;
-the-Naine, three months, 1191 to 1 ; Feta.-
burg, three months, 361 to 1; Vienna, three montbi, 10.31 to
38 ; Trieste, three mcathe,lo.Bl to 33 ; Naples, three months,
43 to Gems, three months, 26.771 to 821; Leghorn,
three mowths, 23.66 to 60; Palermo, three months, 130 to
; Mama, three months, 1301 to 1 ; Oporto, throe
months, 621 to 1; Lisbon, three months, WO° 1.
The wheat market yesterday was firm, Man advance
of la. per quarter on last Monday's rates In some
eases an advance of 2a. was realised. The arrivals of
foreign grain in London this week have been limited.
Since last Friday not a single cargo of grain his
arrived at port of call from ports east of Gibraltar,
and only one cargo from New-York. Of the arrived
cargoes previously reported, scarcely any remain on
sale. Nearly all the country torn markets are
higher.
Tuesday, the 9th of June, has been appointed
special settling day in the Stock Exchange for the
shares of the Grand Russian Railways Company.
The committee of the Stock Exchange have decided,
however,
.upon refusing the privilege of quotation in
the official lists—a measure usually adopted in cases
where it is known or suspected that only a limited
allotment has been made. The committee have al s 3
provided, by formal resolution, " That the said set-
tlement shall take place in the provisional certificates
issued by Messrs. Baring, of London." The object
of this very proper provision is to exclude from this
market the securities issued by the company upon
the Continent. The decision will be a disappoint-
ment to the Continental holders, es many of the
Dutch and other speculators are anxious to place
their shares upon the London market.
The dividend on the shares of the Lombardo-

Venetian Railway Company wail fixed yesterday, at
Vienna, at 6f. per share, in addition to the 3E already
paid in the shape of interest. This is calculated to
be at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the pre.
sent price of the shares, or 12 2-3 per cent. per an-
num on the 61. per share paid up.
A private telegraphic despatch, dated Trieste,
Thursday, states that the native town of
was totally destroved by fire previous to Rangoonri
11.
The lea, it is said, will fall principally upon the
natives.

A telegraphic despatch, just received, mentions
the stranding, on Salvo reef, off Faroe Island, of the
steamer Imperatriee. Captain Adams, while on her
voyage from Cronstadt to London. The crew were
saved, and arrangements were in progrer with a
view to save the Ship and cargo. The latter con-
sisted principally of wheat and tallow.
Relative to the market for American railway
securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as fol-
lows :
