MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAIJ

Two o'CLocz.

The funds to-day are extremely quiet, and Zero
is no alteration of the slightest importance in
prices. The other markets are also devoid of any
interesting feature, owing to the absence of busi-
ness and of news. English railway stocks in a few
instance. are rather better, and in others lower.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter
opened at 69fr. 57c., being about 1-16 per
cent. better than yesterday.

ney, and 91/ for the account. The pre-

The demand for Turkish bonds continues. A

an advance upon the Bank rate.

With reference to the position of the New York
stock and money market Messrs. Cammann and Co,
report u follows, under date of the 7th inst. :
•

There has been no important change in the general
features of the stock market sinus our last report, of 23rd
ultimo. It continues to be influenced mainly by the *mese
of political affairs. The renewal of lean fur the safety of
Washington bud for a time a depressing effect; but as it is
now considered as effectually secured. prices for some days
past have been steady. Vigorous measures have town
adopted by the government for the preservation of the
1111100 ; and the unanimity with which they are sustained
by all parties io the loyal statea, leads to the expectation of
their ultimate success, which imparts a better tone to the
market. The uncertainty as to the extent and duration of
the contest with the seceding states, however, operates as •
check upon business, and the transactions are, consequently,
on quite • limited scale. For the last two days prices have
had an upward tendency, and they were generally firm at
the close of to-day's business.
For United States stocks the market has been rather
more actiie. In the early part of the fortnight prices de-
clined materially, but have since had an upward tendency.
Our present quotations show a decline of S per cent. in s's
of 11174, but unimportant changes in other loans ' • G's of
1881 are slightly better. The principal sales have been of
cA' Irs of 1874 at 76 to 75 to 772 ; conpoo d's of 1881 at 86 to
841 to 82, and registered at 881 to 90; 12 per cent Treasury
Notes have sold at 100 to 101 i tolol. The Secretary of the
Tmasury has given notice that he will receive proposals
until 30th inst. for 13,978,000 dols. of 6 per rent Bieck, re.
dimmable iu ten years. No Ma below per can be accepted.
In state stocks the business continues mostly restricted to
the bonds of the border slave states, which continue de-
Lw".. There is a further decline of 3 per cent. in
iasOed Missouri 6's, but for other de,criptious our present loots-
boys show nu material change from those given in our

last report. Pennsylvanias's sold in Fbiladelphis,onekint.
at 75. The decline was caused by ram heavy forced mks.
For railroad boob the market continues dull, but p 1
for the Medi* descriptions are steady, and is some seem
there is a mall advance. Railroad sheres are steady, bat
without much activity. The speculative demand is limited.
and principally among the operators at the stock beard.
while the orders for investment are few sod unimportant
In the money market the supply on call loans is abondsmit
at sto oi per cent., and the demand very limited. The iF
count market has been unfavourable mflueneed by tie rod
cent (Allures of highly respectable grins with Soothers esmi
nesioos, and the sale of paper, with the exception of a bet
leading names, has become very difßcult. The bank returns
for the fortnight show a decrease in lams of 91,039 dole.,
and in specie of 2,506.046 dela. The receipts of gold we
1.713,15 e, dole. from California, and 138,190 dole. from
Europe.
Foreign exchanges are again lower, but the market for
this mad closed firm.
The James Paton has arrived from China with
502,2901 be. of tea.
