NONBY MARKET.

.THIS DAY.

Two o'Cl.oew.
The funds remain very strong at yesterday's ad-
vance. At one period of the day a further improve-
ment of 1 per cent. was temporarily attained. En-
glish and French railway stocks exhibit a fresh rise.
Consols, for money and the 7th May, after touch-
ing 93f, to a, are now quoted 931 to For the 4th
June the price is 93/ to 1. The Three per Cents.
Reduced have been dealt in at 92 to 1 ; the New
Three per Cents. at 92 to ; Exchequer Bills, March,
at 2a. dis. to 2a. prem. ; ditto, June, at 6s. to 2s. die.
Turkish Six per Cents. have been marked
as high as 931, and are now quoted 931 to /.
The Guaranteed Four per Cents. are steady,
at 1001 to a. Other foreign securities arc
quiet. The sales are limited to Brazilian Five
per Cents., 1829 and 1839, at 100 ; Dutch Four
per Cent. Certificates at 97 ; Equador New
Consolidated Bonds at 14 ; Mexican, for the 14th
inst. at 23: ; and the Spanish Coupon Certificates,
at 61 per cent.
There is a prospect of large supplies of gold
from Australia, Russia, and the United States;
extensive supplies of silver are already in hand
towards satisfying the diminished demand for
shipment by the next Eastern steamer ; and the
flatness of the market for silver is also calcu-
lated to discourage withdrawals of silver from the
continent to the extent lately witnessed. The hope
is thus strengthened that a considerable portion of
the expected imports of gold will be retained here,
and gradually relieve the money market.
At Hamburg • considerable fall has taken place
in the rate of discount, which was quoted on Satur-
day 6 to 61 per cent.
The Niagara has arrived from New York with
681,083 dole., or say 116,2001., in specie on freight,
of which about 66,0001. is for London, and the rest
for France. The exchange on London had again
advanced, and there seems every prospect of a con-
tinuance of these remittances.
The Washington has also brought 8,0001. in specie
from New York, but this is probably on continental

sessnat
We noticed yesterday the satisfactory feature of a
almost total ceseation of the demand for gold for the
Ckatinent. The parties who ordinarily buy the
newly-imported gold for exportation to France and
ekewhere were yesterday quite indisposed to purchase
ern the remittance ex the Niagara, although this
is better suited to continental requirements than the
Australian gold. Under these circumstances it is
thought that the 195,0001. ex the Anglesea will be
sent into the Bank.
As another favourable point, we remark that the
market for silver was very flat. Parcels of this metal
recently received from the Continent were offered
yesterday at 55.1 id. per oz. standard, without finding
buyers. This shows a reduction of id. per oz., com-
pared with the price realised for the remittance by
the last West India packet. The fall is partly at-
tributable to the arrival of the large mass of dollars
by the steamer Magdalena as this supply will ob-
trude the necessity of 'hipping bar silver to China.
The Sultan has brought about 2,8001. in specie
from the Peninsula.
The corn market yesterday was firmer, and wheat
realised 1 • to 2s. per qr. more than on Monday last.
Not a single floating cargo of grain has arrived off
the coast since Friday, the easterly winds being
adverse.
The Swallow, from Shanghae, has 1,529,8001 b. of
tea and 63 bales of silk on freight.
The share* in the Russian railways remain nomi-
nally quoted Ito prem., but could not be sold in
any quantity.
A telegraphic despatch received from St. Peters-
burg announces the opening of the navigation
at Cronetadt, two steamers having milled, respec-
tively, for Hull and London. One of these was the
Gertrude. The price of tallow had advanced again
from 158 re. to 1130 ro., with 10 m. down, for
August delivery.
A letter has been addressed, by Messrs. Samuel
Ellis, Edwin H. Lawrence and H. Bokeby Price,
to the directors of the Australian Agricultural Com-
pany. This document animadverts, in deservedly
pungent terms, upon the depressed condition of the
property, and upon the absurdly lavish character
of the expenditure, and soigne reasons why Mr.
W. F. de balls has declined to prosecute his candi-
dateship for the post of deputy-chairman of the
company.
The following further communication from the
committee of Mexican bondholders calls attention to
the issue of a new "manifesto" by the Mexican

government.

MONDAY ETwinni.

The more favourable character of the specie move-
ment has to-day exercised a favourable influence in
the Stock Exchange.
The ...jobbers" were to-day " takers-in" of stock
at 1 " continuation." The total advance established
in the funda was : to 1 per cent., and in many classes
of English railway stocks 1 to : per cent. French
shares were also better, although this market seems
the slowest to improve of any. Throughout the
Stock Exchange the highest prices of the day were
fully maintained to the close of business.
As we anticipated, the bills falling due to-day (the
4th) were unusually light, and no pressure whatever
lwas experienced in the money market. In most
lquarters the Bank rates are fully maintained, but in
exceptional eases transactions take place in first-
clam bills below 61 per cent. In the Stock Exchange
money was more readily obtainable at 6 to 61 per
cent. on government securities.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 921 for
the 7th inst., opened this morning at 921 to 15-16,
and steadily improved during the afternoon, finally
closing at 931 to 1. For money the last price was
also 931 to 1„ and, for the 4th June, 93) to ). The
