MONEY MARKE2.--(THIS DAL)

Two o'CLocz.
The announcement of the Indian loan having
been fully "discounted," has not produced a bed
effect in the stock markets. On the contrary the
funds have risen fully per cent., and most of
the principal British railway stocks I per cent.
There is also a fresh advance in the shares of
the Great Western Railway of Canada.
The Indian Five per Cent. loan of 1859 remains
dull, at 99 to f. The loan now offered is nominally
quoted 994 to 99k.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reute?s
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at
67fr. 65c., being sc. better than on Saturday.
Consols are officially marked 911 and 91i for

money, and 94 for the account. The present quo-
tations are 94 for cash, and 94 tot for 7th Feb-
ruary. The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cents. Reduced. 91i, ; New Three
per Cents., 91i, I, f, ; India Five per Cent.
Stock, 1859, 994 ; ditto for account, 99} ; Five per
Cent. " eufaced " rupee paper, 94 ; Indian Four
per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 95j, ; Exchequer
Bills, 6s. dis.
In the foreign stock market the only feature of
importance is a considerable rise in Mexican
bonds, which are last marked 22,i. The Turkish
Loan of 1854 remains quoted 691 to 701, whilst
that of 1858 is firmer, at 55 to }. Sales are recorded
as follows : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., ; ditto
Four-and-a-Half per Ceuta., 1800, 851 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Ceuta., 631, (exchange 128.);
Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 24, 221 ;
New Granada Active, Hi; Portuguese Three per
Cents., 1853, for account, 44, ; Russian Five per
Cents., 1043 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, for
account, 514 ; Venezuela Three per Ceuta., 20.
The prospectus of the now India Government
Loan of 3,000,0001. was issued late on Satur-
day afternoon after business hours. The loan
is to be raised in a 5 per cent. stock, redeem-
able on and after July, 1870, upon one year's
previous notice being given by the Secre-
tary of State for India. The transfer books will
be kept at the Bank of England. Tenders are to
specify the price offered. Five per oent. discount
will be allowed on payments in anticipation. The
day for receiving tenders is Friday, the Bth Feb.
The embarrassments in the Levant trade, chiefly
amongst Greek houses, have now extended so far
as to force themselves upon public notice. There
were on Saturday numerous failures, both in Lon-
don and Manchester. Omitting from the account
certain small houses, and others which may yet
recover themselves, the undermentioned firms suc-
cumbed on Saturday':-1. Mr. Dominic Navone, of
London. 2. Mr. S. P. Zizinia, of London. 3. Mr.
P. C. Selvage, of Manchester, but more recently
of London. 4. Messrs. Demetrio Pappa and Co., of
Manchester and Smyrna. In the first case mentioned
(Navone), it is thought that the liabilities will be
about 20,0001., and it is said that the prospect of
a surplus depends upon the liquidation of the
debts in Constantinople. In the second case
(Zizinia), the liabilities are about 85,0001., whilst
the assets in some quarters are alleged to be
93,000/. In the third case (Selvage), the liabilities
may be 12,0001. or 13,0001. In the fourth (Pappa
and Co.), it is said that the firm hope ere long to
resume payment in full. These anticipations may
prove rather sanguine, but the general re-
sult does not seem likely to be a heavy
loss. The reluctance to discount Greek paper
has contributed to the present suspensions.
It is stated that all the principal houses
in the trade have for some time been
engaged iu strengthening themselves, in preparation
for the difficulties which have now occurred. The
satisfactory character of the balance-sheets lately
submitted by some of the failed houses in the Le-
vant trade is calculated to discourage excessive
distrust.

It is understood that a portion of the stun re-
quired for the dividend, due the Ist March, on the
Turkish Six per Cent. Loan of 1858 is now in
London in bills.

The Canada., which sailed on Saturday for the
United States, took only 53,1301. in specie.

and-a-Half per Cent. Uribarren Debt, and of bonds
