MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

To-day being Good Friday, no business is going
forward in the City.
The more satisfactory appearance of the continental
exchanges and the check which has apparently been
given to the drain of gold, encourage a hope that
some relief may soon be experienced, especially if
the expected supplies of gold from Australia C3lllO
forward promptly. On the other band, the com-
mercial engagements already contracted are
evidently heavy, and must keep up a good demand
for money. Yesterday great activity prevailed in the
discount market, owing to the extraordinarily heavy
repayments required at the Bank, and the market
remains tight and without relief from the dividend'.
The expectation of a very unfavourable Bank return
on Saturday morning tended materially to check the
improvement in the Stock Exchange. The repay-
ments now in progress, however, will of course add
to the Bank's resources.

Further parcels of newly arrived Australian gold,
to the amount of 30,0001. or 40,000!., were yesterday
sent into the Bank, the Continental demand allowing
as yet no symptoms of revival.
The Jura arrived at Southampton yesterday
with about 86,000!. in Australian gold, including
the remittance brought to Suez by the Simla. This
supply will probably be in hand on Saturday.
The Nimroud has arrived from Sydney, whence
she sailed on the 7th Jan. ; but is not lcnown to
have any gold on freight.
In addition to the specie remittances already an-
nounced as on their way to this country front Aus-
tralia, we learn that the Ellenborough sailed from
Sydney on the same day u the Nimroud, with
30,000 sovereigns.
An arrival from China is announced, viz., the
Abdul-Medjid, from Shanghai.
The late improvement in the foreign exchanges is
fully supported. To-day being Good Friday, the
usual business in foreign bills of exchange was trans-
acted yesterday afternoon. The rates were in all
eases firm, and as regards Hamburg and Frankfort
a further improvement was established. The rates
on Vienna and Trieste were also quoted higher. The
current qquotations are subjoined, viz. :
three months, 11.18, to 19; ditto, short, 11.151
to 161; Rotterdam, three months, 11.181 to 19; Antwerp,
and 13rassele, three months, 2.5.46 to 60 ; Hamburg, three
months, 13.8 i to f ; Paris, three months, 25.61 to 70 ; ditto,
abort, 25.271 to 221 • Marseilles, throe months, 25.65 to
70 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, three months, 1191 to 1;
Petersburg, three months, 37 to 1; Vienna, three months,
10.36 to 40 ; Trieste, three months, 10.36 to 40 ; Naples,
three months, 421 to 431; Geste, three months, 25.70 to
BO; Leghorn, three months, 29.40 to 3t' Palermo, three
months, 1291 to 130 ; Messina, three month*, 1291 to ISO
Oporto, three months. 62 to 1; Lisbon, three months, 511
to 62.

It ls estimated that 350,000/. has been paid in du-
ties on tea at the reduced rate at the port of London
during the present week. A considerable sum has
also been pardon sugar and coffee. Adding the amounts
similarly absorbed at other ports, we arrive at an
aggregate the withdrawal of which is sufficient in
itself to affect the money market.
It has already been mentioned that the steamer
Transit, for the Car, has put back in a very da-
maged state. Partses having correspondents at the
Cape express a hope that her mails will be placed
on board the fine steamship Himalaya, which is
upon the point of departing for China. It seems
difficult to understand why the authorities did not in
the first instance select the latter vessel to convey
the mails. If not too late, a notice to this effect
might even now be issued.
With reference to the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, the circular of Mr. E. F. Sattcrthwaite
remarks:

1 At tlyear ly general meeting of the Illinois Central Com-
pany, held at Chicago, on the 18th ult., the shareholders
adopted the =graben et some of the most inli uentiid of the
English end New York stockholders to raise the nominal
7pits! of the company actual coat of the work (ay
5,500,000 del..), instead of further eresionents upon
the originel 170,000 to lane 86,000 additional shares,
with 30 per cent. calla, to make them road to the others.
The new issue to be placed at the dispet.id of the old stock-
holders, at par—one share for twe, or 50 new on every 100
original sharee. Instead of paying the 30 dole. by instal-
ments on the new 'lmre+, the stockholder will pay in full for
such portion of his allotment as may be railed for by resolu-
tion of the directors. That it, a party entitled to 80
new shares will be celled upon to pay the full 30 dole.
on 20 shares, Instead of 10 d..h. on the whole
60, and in like proportion until the whole allot-
ment is retired. The proceeds of the new lone will go, as
further instalments upon the original iraue would have goes,
to complete the work sod liquidate its unfunded indebted-
mac The practical effect will be that 256,000 share., at
30 dole., will represent the same expenditure ea 170,000
shares et 46 dole. slimming that further assessments of
16 dole. on the original kern would have bees I
The new stock will be distributed to those who litirlei
registered se stockholders on the books on some future day
(to be determined by the directors) probably the 16th June,
Jost soffkient time to make up the books for the opening on
the let July. The intention of the directors ie that no cilia
beyond the 30 per cent. paid will be made on the stock. The
optional right holders on Freeland Bonds are, of course, not
required to elect whether they take their pro rah: of the new
stock until January next. They can, at any time between
now and the let January, ISM, become actual shareholders,
and then lave the same right to the new lune. The stock-
holders can elect to take one-third of their pro raki, or the
whole, at their pleasure, on the Ist July. The remaining
two-thirds to be taken up (end the 30 dole. paid on them) on
the Ist January, 1888.
It Is stated in New York by the directors that the proposed
measure to thermal the stock of the Illinois Central origi-
nated with the English holders. No official action, as yet,
bas been taken by the board, but there is no doubt that Elea
been duly canvassed, and that the suggestion of the general
meeting will be adopted, sd promulgated se a decree by the
directors.

TRUING/a EVENING.
The stock markets opened with more firmness this
morning, yet operators manifested much caution,
pending the sitting of the weekly court at the Bank.
The directors having separated at a somewhat early
hour, without the announcement of any further
alteration in the rate of discount, the markets at
once assumed a buoyant appearance. The funds at
one period attained a recovery of / per cent.; and
although there was again some inclination to press
sales towards the close, the latest quotations were
still per cent. better than those of yesterday. In
the railway share market a rally of to per cent.
is shown ; and in the other departments of the Stock
Exchange, as well as in mercantile circles, an im-
proved feeling was observable this afternoon.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 92! to I for the
7th May, opened this morning at about 92/. ad-
vanced to 93/ to on the breaking up of the Bank
court, and closed at 93 to 4. For money the last
price was 921 to 1. The official business report is
as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
921, 1 4 ; ditto, for account, 7th May, 93,921,
