MONEY MARKET.-THISDAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
The news from the East has had an unfavourable
influence upon the funds, which have declined per
cent. The other Stock Exchange markets are also
fiat.

Consols are quoted 92; to 93 for money, and 93 to

/ for the 7th May. The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 911 to 1 ; the New
Three per Cents. at 911 to 92; Exchequer Bills,
March, at 2s. prem. ; ditto, June, at is. dia. ; and
Exchequer Bowels, at 981.
Tho foreign stock market remains dull, and
in some cues, including Turkish, a little
astute is observable* but the alteration in
prices is unimportant. Subjoined is a com-
plete list of this morning's sales:—Brazilian Old
Five per Cents. at 100;; Peruvian Four-and-a-
-' Half per Cents., 77 ; Portuguese Three per Cents.,
1853, 441 to 441 ; Russian Founand-a-Half per Cents.,
961; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 251;
ditto, for account, 30th April. 25 to 251; the Coupon
Certificates, 61 to 61 per cent. ; Turkish Six per
Cents., 931; ditto, for account, 30th April, 931; ditto,
Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1001; ditto, for account

100¢ to 100.
The shares in the Russian railways remain nomi-
nally quoted to prem. but there is scarcely a
transaction going forward in them. The few irre-
gular dealings which have hitherto taken place are
understood to be open continental orders, and are
probably prompted by a wish on the part of the pro-
moters to " make a market" for these securities.
The Anglesea has arrived off Plymouth from Mel-
bourne with 48,862 ounces of gold on freight, worth
about 195,4001. The mode in which this sum will
be disposed of is am yet involved in uncertainty.
Could loans on stock be raised on less onerous
terms than there lately current, the whole amount
would doubtless be sent to the Bank of France.
But when each high rates are exacted for money,
the profit presented in the premium offered on gold
by that institution is greatly diminished. The firms
who are drawing silver from the Continent are not
at present buyers of gold for remittance against it,
owing to the steadiness of the exchanges. It is
thought that the remittance by the Anglesea will
be in hand on Monday. Perhaps a portion will go
to the Bank of France, and the rest to the Bank of

England.
The Alhambra has brought about 1,8001. in specie
from the Peninsula.

On 'Change yesterday, at the commencement of
business, the appearance of the foreign exchanges
was not favourable ; but subsequently bills on most
continental places became more plentiful, and at the
ohms decided firmness was exhibited. The rates for

as for paper on Belgium and Frankfort, were finally
quoted somewhat better than on Tuesday. The cur-
rest quotations are shown below :

The annual meeting of the Globe Insurance Com-
pany was held at the office in Conduit, on Thurs-
day. A statement of accounts for 18.58, and for the
preceding four years, was submitted in considerable
detail ; and the report of the two auditors, by whom,

been fully examined, was read. The report described

AN was anticipated, these changes arc favourable.
The coin and bullion show an increase of more than
half a million, owing to the purchase by the Bank
of the gold ex the Royal Charter and other vessels.
The increase of 603,1001. in the reserve of unem-
ployed notes is almost entirely caused by the repay-
ment to the Bank of 580,2831. advanced on " other
securities." This latter item, however, still stands at
a very high figure, indicating an active demand for
money. The government balance, though some-
what reduced, is still satisfactorily large.
