MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Cwon.
The funds to-day opened Beadily, but have since
become weaker, owing to the continued stringency
of the money market. Prices now exhibit a de-
cline of per cent. The English railway share
market has alao given way.
Consols opened at 931 ex div. for the 9th
July, and are now quoted 93 to I. The Three per
Cents. Reduced are marked 921 to 93 ; the New
Three per Cents., 921 to 93! ; Exchequer Bills,
ss. to 3e. dis., being lower; and Exchequer Bonds,

1859, 981 to t.
Turkish Six per Cents. have declined 1 per cent.,
being quoted 96 to 1 for the new account. Russian
stocks continue to be inquired for. Other foreign
descriptions remain firm. The sales include Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 651 (each. 129.) ;
Portuguese Three per Cents. 1853, for account
(end of June), at 461; ditto, Three per
Cents., 1856, for account, at 461; Russian Five
pee Cents. at 110 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Ceuta.
at 981 and 98 ; Sardinian Five per Cents. at 891
and 89 ; and Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents.,
for account, at 1011.
The demand for money was yesterday active in all
quarters, and numerous applications are understood
to have been made to the Bank. It is stated that
the East India Company are withdrawing loans
from the market. On the other band, the Bank of
England is according increased facilities to the
discount houses.
At Paris yesterday the Three per Cent. Bente' expe-
rienced an unfavourable reaction off to 1 per cent.,
boadflde sales predominating. The closing quotations
were 68.70 ex div. for money, and 60.15 for the end
of Jane. It will be noticed that the price for the
account is as much as 45c., or nearly 1 per cent.
above that for cash--a fact which indicates the
oneroess. with which speculative operations for
higher prices are prosecuted, but equally indicates •
superabundant supply of floating stock.
At Hambor.g, Rutin, and other Continental
markets, Rumen stocks retain an upward tendency.
The amount of specie brought by the Niagara,
from New York, is 1,220,108 dollars, or about
244,0001., of which a portion is probably on Conti-
nental amount. The amount destined for this country
is expected to be in hand to-day, and to be pur-
chased for exportation for the Continent. The ex-
change at New York on London remained firm. at
1091 to 1, so that a continuance of remittances to
this side is looked for.
The sum brought by the steamer La Plata, from
the West Indies and Isthmus, is 1,057,734 dollars, or
about 211,6001., of which about 120,0001. is in gold
and 88,0001. in silver. • This supply is expected to
be delivered towards the latter end of the present
week.
It is estimated that the shi is of silver for the
East by the Pen, on the inst., will exceed one
million sterling; but, as already hinted, the rise in
the rates of insurance imposes a limit upon the
remittances by each vessel. The rates of insurance
on specie, which in the case of these steamers
vary from 25e. to 355, per cent., have risen
on the to 70s. per cent., the underwriters being
already " full "ae regards rislis on that veraeL The
parties engaged in shipping silver to the East are
now, consequently, turning their attention to the
next steamer, via., that of the 4th of July, for which
extensive transactions have already taken place.
The remittances by that opportunity are expected to
be heavy.
The steamer Tagus has brought 4,8361. in specie
from the Peninsula.
The eon market yeeterday was very firm. English
wheat realised an advance of 2s. to 3s. per qr. over
last Monday's rates. The amounts from most ports
of the United Kingdom continue to encourage hopes
of an early and abundant harvestand yesterday's ad-
vitae is attributable to the smallness of the stocks
of grain, coupled with the belief that no important
inereime can take plies until after the harvest.
During several wee ls put only two grain laden
vessels have arrived at port of call—a very unusual
cirvumstaace; and the number of cargoes known torn
be on the way to this country is also very stun
From nearly all the country corn markets lield at
the close of last week an advance of Is. to 3s. per qr.
is reported in wheat.
A telegraphic despatch, dated St. Petersburg,
Saturd, reports the exchange on London as firm,
at 38 3.18 d. Hemp was firm, and the advanced
price of 29 roubles had been paid. In the tallow
market 170 roubles bad been paid for August de.

livery.
The final call ot 21. is to be paid by the 20th of
July on the shares of the Great Luxembourg Cow-
pens, on which 181. per share is now paid.
tee fourth ordinary meeting of the Crystal Palace
Company is called for the 30th inst., and will be
mods extraordinary to convert the paid up shares
into stock and the borrowed capital into debenture
Week. It is also proposed, "to take such measures
with respect to the shares created and issued by
William James Robson as shall be determined ups:
by the meeting, and for that purpose, if consideres
seesseary, to exercise the powers contained in the
Crystal Palace Company's Act, 1856, in relation to
earital.
A special meeting of the Wimbledon and Croydon
Railway Company is called for the 26th instant, to
consider a bill now pending in parliament.
The annual meeting of the Dutch Rhenish Rail-
way Company is called for the 30th instant, at Am-
sterdam, 'bat will be adjourned until the 20th of
July, the closing of accounts with the neighbouring
lines having delayed the completion of the balance-
sheet.
It is stated in railway circles in Paris, that the
proposed amalgamation of the Lyons and Mediter-
ranean Railway Companies may be regarded as
nearly settled, since the treaty for the purchase of
the Great Central Railway Company was ratified by
the shareholders of the latter company, at their
meeting on Thursday last. It is also stated that the
Southern of Prance Railway Company will certainly
purchase the Languedoc Canal. It is affirmed, more-
over, that tho concession of the Pyrenean system of
railways is assured to the latter company, the rub-
vention spoken of being 28;000,000 francs, or
1,120,0001. sterling, of which 160,0001. will, it is
said, be furnished by the State, and the rest by the
Lyons, Mediterranean, and Orleans Railway tom-
peniee.
The dividend falling due the let of July next on
the Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cont. External
Debt, converted from the Six per Cent. Internal, is
advertised for payment by the agents of the Peruvian
government.
The halflearly dividend is also advertised on the
8 per cent. first mortgage bonds of the New Orleans,
Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad.
Creditors of the North Shields Quay Company
are required to prove their claims before Vice-Chan-
cellor Wood, who proposes on the 22nd inst. to
appoint an official manger.

MONDAT EVI3I/111111.

Despite the inactivity of Stock Exchange business,
the improvement in the position of the Bank of
England, and Bank of France, exercised to-day a
stimulating influence upon prices. The funds ad-
vanced 1 per cent.; and in the English railway
share market, where the settlement is in full pro-
gress, and the rates of continuation have varied from
9 to 12 per cent. per annum, considerable buoyancy
prevailed. All the markets closed firmly at the
advanced quotations.. The purchases appear, how-
ever, to have been chiefly speculative.
Consols opened at Saturdav's closing quotation
of 93/ to ex div. for the 9th of July, and closed
at 931 to 1. The official business report is as fol-
lows—Three per Cent. Consols, for money (shut),
961, with div. ; ditto for account, 9th July, 931„
1,1, ex div.; Three per Cents. Be heed, 921. 921,
New Three per Cents., 921, 921, 93 ; Bank Stock,
214 ; India Bonds, 84. dis.
Business is also officially recorded in Consols " for
the opening" (Nth of July) at 931 cx div.
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 2s. die. to 2a.
prem., and Exchequer Bonds, 981 to 99.
Turkish Six per emits. attained a fresh rise of
about per cent., closing at 961 to 1 for the new
account. The Guaranteed Four per Cents., after
