MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocz.
The weekly court at the Bank has broken up
without making any alteration in tho rate of dis-
count ; yet the funds are rather dull, at the slight
decline which was established after the recognised
hours yesterday. The railway share market is also

a little flatter.
Consols arc quiet at 93 to I for money, and
931 to 1 for the sth March. The Three per Cent.
Reduced have been dealt in at 931 to ;
the New Three per Cents. at 93/ to a ; Bank
Stock at 2171; Exchequer Bills at par to 2s. prem. ;
and Exchequer Bonds at 98Z to 1.
Turkish Six per Cents. have receded to 93; to ;
and the Guaranteed Four per Cents. to 1001 to 1 ex
div. Other foreign stocks are steady. The sales
comprise Brazilian Old Five per Cents. at
1021; ditto, Five per Cents., 1829 and 1839,
at 1011 ; ditto, Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
18:12, at 98 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 651 and 6.5 (exchange,l29.); Russian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 961 and 961; ditto, Small

Coupon-Certificates at 61 per cent.
It is known that about 40,0001. in gold was with-
drawn yesterday from the Bank for exportation to
the Continent. Recent returns have demon-
strated that there is at present a very decided reflux
of coin into the Bank from Ireland, the provinces,
&c.; and in this way the withdrawals of gold for
the Continent have hitherto been neutralised. So far,
therefore, as regards the stock of bullion, no imme-
diate anxiety is felt. At the same time the usual in-
flux of government funds into the Bank must tend
to keep up its reserve of notes, despite the heavy
demands recently made upon it.
The upward tendency evinced by some of the
other Continental stock markets has become more
decided, general firmness prevailing.
Of the 87,0001. in gold brought by the Asia from
New York, about 21,0001. came to London, and was
purchased for transmission to the Continent. The
rest was on French account.
Assuming that the ships Heather Bell and Morn-
ing Light sailed from Melbourne on the days fixed,
they have now been at sea 95 and 83 days re-
spectively. It is believed that the total amount of
gold on board these vessels is very large. The wind,
however, is at present unfavourable for the arrival of
ships frtnn Australia, being north-east.
The corn market yesterday was:quiet, but steady, at
Monday's rates. The arrivals of foreign grain in
London this week are trifling. The remarkable
absence of arrivals of grain laden vessels at port of
call also continues; not a single cargo has come in
for nearly a fortnight. Business in this branch of
the market is consequently. restricted to cargoes on
passage. Maize continues in good request for Spun
and Portugal, but few transactions take place. The
French corn markets are reported firm.
The eight law vessels of the General Screw
Steam Shipping Cmpany were yesterday transferred
to the European and Amencan Steam Shipping
Company (limited). Satisfaction appears to be felt
by the shareholders in the former company. at this
result, as otherwise the realisation of this immense
amount of steam shipping, comprising 17,000 tons,
might have proved very difficult. The only vessel
of the old company now unsold being the Bos-
phorus, of under 500 tons, it is hoped that the
directors will liquidate the company's affairs without
delay.
It es stated that the attempt to float the Royal
Mail Steam Company's vessel Tyne will be re-
sumed next week.
The prospectus of the Thames General Steam Boat
Company has been issued, with a proposed capital of
120,0001., divided into shares of 201. each. The
object of the company is to consolidate the various
steam boat associations of the Thames into one
undertaking, and to connect the arrivals and depar-
tures of the boats with those of the vehicles of the
London General Omnibus Company. Some of the
directors of the Omnibus Company and of the exist-
ing steam-boat companies form the "Conseil de
Surveillance" of the new company. The project is
constituted under the French law, and it is stated
that the balk of the capital will be placed in Paris,
as was the east in the first instance with the shares
of the London General Omnibus Company. The
Omnibus Company itself, it is mentioned, subscribes
for a portion of the capital.
The Great Central Railway Company of France
have announced in Paris a call of 21. per share,
payable by the 6th of March, making the shares
folly paid up.
A half-yearly, dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, is advertised on the shares of the Gene-
ral Iron Screw Collier Company.
The following half-yearly railway meetings are
newly announced viz. s—Norfolk Railway Company,
for the 27th in;t ; Newry and Enniskillen Rail-
way Company, for the 2.7 th inst.; and Midland
Railway Company, for the 26th inst., at Derby.
This latter meeting is to be made special, to create
new shams, under the Act of 1856.
The half-yearly meeting of the General Steam
Navigation Company is oiled for the 24th inst.
A Uf-yearly dividend of four per cent Is lobs
payable on the shares of the Australian Trust Com-
pany on the sth inst.
An extraordinary meeting of the British Sugar
Refining Company is called for the 16th February to
authorise the directors to make a call of 15s. per
share, " or to confirm a call of that amount made on
the 10th May last"
The Great \Vette= Railway Company give notice
that the branch line between Bath and Trowbridge
is now open for passenger traffic.

WZDNIESDAT Evasive.
The funds opened firmly this morning, and sot
attained an advance of / per cent. ; but this was not
maintained in the afternoon, the closing quotations
being about the same as those of yesterday. The
market is still influenced to a considerable extent by
the arrangement of the monthly account, to-morrow
Wag "settling day." The railway share market
was buoyant in the morning, and, though rather
has strong in the afternoon, retains, on the whole,
=improving tendency.
To-day being the 4th of the month, the demand
for money in the diacoant market was of course
active, and the terms generally current were fully
equal to those of the Bank. The mass of bills falling
deo to-day appear to have been well met. In the
Stock Exchange money was rather easier, short loans
on government securities being obtainable at 6 per
cent.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 931 to 1 for
money and to-morrow, touched to-clay 931 to 1, but
had relapsed at 4 o'clock to 931 to 1. At half-past 4
o'clock—to which hour the Stock Exchange was kept
open to-day, this being the day for the declaration al
" options "—the market was a little flatter, at 931-15
to 3-16. For the sth March the price was quoted, g
4 o'clock, 931 to Land at half-past 4,93 L " sellers."
The official business report is as follows:—Three
per Cent, Consols, for money, 931, 931 ; ditto for
account, sth Feb., 93/, 931. Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 93/, 1,, 1. New Three per Cents., 931, 1.
Long Anne., expiring in Jan., 1860, 21. Three-
and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling pay-
able in 1839, 981, I, t.
The New Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are also offi-
cially marked 761.
Exchequer Bills were a shade Ices strong, at par
to 2s. prem. Exchequer Bonds were firm, at 981
to 1. India Bonds were quoted 2s. die. to Is. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. show a further rise of
per cent, closing at 931 to 94. The Guaranteed
Four per Cents. advanced 1 per cent., being last
quoted 1001 to 11 ex div. -Spanish !tacks were
firm, and the Coupon Certificates met with more in-
quiry, the advice. received to-day from Paris Inds-
Min that M. Mires will probably, pay an early visit
M Leedom. Other foreign securities were steady.
