MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocw.

The funds remain dull, with very few transac-
tions, but Consols are quoted for money a fraction
better than they closed yesterday. For the ac-
count, the quotation is unaltered. In
the other markets scarcely any business has been
done, and the only movement of importance is a
fall in Turkish Bonds.

ex div., for money, and 901, ex div., for the
account. The present quotations are 891 to / for
money, and 90 to 1 for the 10th of July.
