MONEY 111ABEBT-THAI DA V.

Two o'CLooc.

The funds during the greater part of the day have
been quiet, at yesterday's closing quotations, but
within the last hour heaviness has become obser-
vable, and a decline of I per cent. has taken place.
The market is to some extent prejudioed by the un-
certain position of the Ministry, and by the neuritis.
factory character of the Reform Bill.whieh is regarded
as angering renewed agitation in Parliament. Eng-
lish, French, and Lombardo-Venetian railway shares
have likewise declined : the latter have been again
pressed for sale by influential operators on foreign
mount.

The Brat telegram from the Paris Boone of this
day has not yet come forward.
Consols opened at 961 to for the 9th of March,
and are now quoted 94, " sellers." For money the
present price is 951 to 1, and for the April settlement,
961 to 1. The Three per Cents. Redaced have been dealt
in at 961 to 1; the New Three per Cents., at 96}
to I ; Bank Stock, at 2281 to 230 ; the New
Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents., at 80; India Stock
at 220; Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, at 99;
India Ronde, at 16s. to 20s. prem. ; and Exchequer
Bills, at 34e. to 38s. prem.
The foreign stock market remains quiet. The prin-
cipal demand is still for Anglo Peruvian Four-aud-a-
Half per Centr., which are that marked 93 ex div.. The
Turkish Six per Cents. of 1864 are quoted 9(9 to
911. After making allowance for the deduction
of the dividend, the New Turkish Loan is sup-
ported at the closing quotation of yesterday. The
present price is 77 to 1 ex div. Sales are
recorded as follows:—Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., 1021 ; Mexican Three per Cents.,
for account, 201; Peruvian Foar-and.a-Half
,per
Cents., for account, 921, 93, cx die. ; ditto Throe
per Cents., for account, 74; Russian Four-antl-s,-
Half per Cents., 100; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1834, 90}; ditto Ltor account (March 16),

911; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, first 'ekes,.
for account, 771, 771, ex div.; ditto Guaranteed
Four per Cents., 1021.
In the discount market yesterday a fair demand was
experienced, the terms generally current for bills of
a high clue being 21 to 21 per cent., but in exoep-
tional cases t masactions took place at 2 per cent. At the
Bank the applications continue very limited. Yester-
day wu the last day for the liquidation of the beldame
of 65 per cent, on the tad series (viz., 1,380,0001.) of
the Turkish Loan, but the payments have been is
progress for several days put, and no effect was
produced on the market. During the next two or
three days preparations for the large mass of mer-
cantile bills falling due on the 4th will occupy at-
N es I I tention.

At Amsterdam and Frankfort on Saturday the
Austrian funds experienced a considerable recovery
from the late severe fall. At Vienna, however, a
trash decline took place.
The 43,4001. in gold by the Kimono will be tent
to the Continent. Of the 183,9001. by the Asia, from
New York, a limited portion has been purchased for
exportation, and a further amount is expected to be
taken to-day. .t
A report that the Submarine Telegraph Coes-
palsy's cable between Dover and Calais has been
broken is quite unfounded.
A telegram, dated Constantinople, the 25th, com-
municates the important intelligence of the dismissal
of Moose& Safeti Pacha, the minister of finance. The
event is understood to be principally attributable
to the strong representations made to the govern-
ment, both directly and through the medium of the
English Ambassador,:by the English loan commis-
sioners. The errors committed by Safeti Paella
reached their culminating point In the surreptitious
issue of the bonds destined for the conversion of the
paper money ; and the delays which have occurred
in the re-organisation of the Turkish financial sys-
tem are currently attributed to his influence. His
successor had not been appointed. Hopes are enter-
tained that Fnad Pacha, who was charged with the
negotiation of the English loan, will shortly bead-
muted to the ministry. The exchange on London,
which recently declined to 143, upon the statement
that the National Bank had been constituted, has
recovered to 144, owing to the belief that no active
steps can be taken by the concessionnaires. It is
stated that Mr. Rodocansohi, of Constantinople,
has intimated his intention not to take pert in the
Pit Bt. Petersburg the exchange on London is
quoted 36 1-18 i.
A certificate of the 3rd class (not to be granted
until afters delay of three months) has been awarded
to Mr. Riley, jun , of the firm of Riley and Son,
iron-muter,, of Millfields, South Staffordshire, who
failed, with extensive liabilities, in 1867.

It was mentioned in the i'xprets of the 16th
February that application had been made to the
Stock Exchange Committee to allow the quotation
of the Indian Government Promissory Notes iv
the official list. The Committee have consented
'that transactions in cotes " enfaced" for pay-
ment of interest in England (in accordance with the
recent Government notification) shall be quoted in
the official " Course of the Exchange," published ea
Tuesdays and Fridays.
The directors of the Sciude Railway Com-
pany have paid to the credit of the Secretary of
State for India in Council 58,0001. on account of
capital for the Indus steam flotilla.
