MONEY MARKE7.-{THIS DAI j

Two o'CLoet.

The funds have not recovered from the late fall.
The present quotations are the same as those cur-
rout at 4 o'clock yesterday. There are rumours,
however, that the coming Bank return will be
favourable. In the other departments of the Stock
Exchange great languor prevails. British railway
stocks in some instances are higher, and in others
rather lower.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened
at 67fr. 90c., showing no change since yesterday.
The scrip of the new Indian Loan is quiet : trans-
actions are reported at 1001.

Consols are officially marked 912, 1, and 1, for
money, and 91/ for the account. The present quo-
tations are 91i for money, and 912 to for the
7th of March. The official business report is
NI follows : Bank Stock, 237, 235/ ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 912, 1,1 ; New Three per Cents.,
911, A ; Thirty Years' Annuities, expiring in April,
1883, 16 1-16 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 991,
1; ditto for account, 991 ; ditto Scrip, 1001 ; ditto,
Bonds, 18e. dia. ; Exchequer Bills, 84., 3e. dia.
Tho Turkish Loan of 1854 has recovered / percent.,
bring quoted 691 to I. That of 1858 remains dull, at
54 to 1. Mexican Bonds are heavy, and are last
marked 231. Sales are recorded as follows
Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1002 ;
Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 231, 1 ;
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account,
97 ; ditto Three per Cents., for account, 74 ; Spanish
Three per Cents., 481; ditto for account, 481 ;
the Committee's Certificates, 61 ; Turkish Six
per Cents, 1854, for account, 691 ; ditto Six
per Cents., 1858, for account, Mil 54.
At the Bank of England the demand yesterday
I was rather light. In the discount market no
,pressure was observable; but, in the present un-
certain state of affairs, there is a general indis-
position to do business below the Bank rate.
In the Stock Exchange money was tight, and the
rate for short loans on English government securi-
lies was 7 to 8 per cent.

Between the 12th of March and the 26th of
the same month, there will arrive at maturity
11,000,000 f. (466,000!.) of bills at three months'
sight, which were drawn on the 12th and
26th November upon M. Mires by his
agents at Constantinople, Messrs. Arland
Court and Co., to order of the Turkish
government, and which were on account of the first
instalment on M. Mires' Turkish Loan. Of this
amount 10,000,000 f. (400,000/) have already been
idiacounted by the Swine de Credit' Inclustriel of
Paris, who had been provided by M. Mires with
securities by way of cover. The balance is too
small to admit of a doubt of its being provided for.
In the beginning of February there were also
drawn upon M. Mires from Constantinople bills to
a further amount of 11,660,000 f., at 45 days' date,
which fall due on the 15th of March. Of this
amount 4,000,000 f. have already been discounted,
it is believed, by M. Mires himself, through
the intervention of the Turkish Minister in London,
and the proceeds (160,0000 have come into the
hands of the agents of the London Loan of 1858, and
will be applied to the dividend due the Ist March
on that stock. There thus remain between
7,000,000 f. and 8,000,000 f. (say 300,0001.) of bills
on M. Mires, due the 15th March, for which no
provision has yet apparently been made, but which
are fully expected to be met in due course. They
are on account of the second instalment
of the Loan, and all bear the endorsement
of the Turkish government. There is, there-
fore, no instant cause of anxiety. Meanwhile
the Greek interest continues to manifest an unex-
pected degree of strength under the existing critical
circumstances. A loose statement was published
yesterdayafternoon upon the authority of the Levant
Herald to the effect that the whole of the Galata
houses were expected to stop payment. This
statement is dated the 16th inst. News by tele-
graph has, however, been received to the 20th,
when the Greek houses, instead of stopping pay-
ment, had just shipped a further large amount of
gold—computed at about 100,0001.—for Marseilles.

At Paris the Mires scandal continues to excite
great attention. 1u addition to M. Mires, MM.
Solar and Avond, two financiers associated with
him, are said to have been arrested. It is also said
that one nobleman has cut his throat, and that two
more have fled. These are the fruits of the gigantic
system of Bourse jobbing which has extended into
the highest circles, and which has long compro-
mised the French government in the eyes of
Europe.
About 16,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday. Three more ships have arrived from
Australia, viz.: The Clutha, with 158,5001. ; the
Essex, with 56,5001. ; and the Moravian, with
10,0001. The total by the five ships announced
on Wednesday and yesterday is 340,5001., the bulk
of which, if not the whole, is expected to be taken
to the Bank.

The advices from Bombay mention that owing to
the dearness of money there, about 500,000/. in
silver had arrived from Calcutta, in addition to
tome amounts from China. This intelligence,
combined with the state of the money market here,
will prevent remittances of any importance being
made by the next outward Bombay packet. The
silver market is consequently very flat, and the
supply by the last West India steamer still remains
unsold.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was very
heavy, at the late fall, and the sales were confined
to 5,000 bales. The news of the fall here is calcu-
lated to give a favourable turn to the American
exchange.
A rumour, which met with a good deal of circu-
lation yesterday afternoon, to the effect that a fraud
has been discovered at the Bank of England, has no
other foundation than the fact that three or four
clerks iu that establishment who have been found
to have dabbled in bill transactions, have been dis-
missed.

The Indian government invite tenders for the
purchase of various government tea plantations and
factories. _ _

In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday there were
some proceedings in the case of Mr. Joseph
Hooper, leather dealer, of Bermondsey.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 1,345/. ; the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase
of 1981. • the Midland, an increase of 1,1021. ; the
North Eastern, an increase of 2,7341. ; and the
Eastern Counties, an increase of 6721.
A general meeting of the Oude Railway Com-
pany is convened for the 7th of March, and will be
made special to consider of a return of " the whole
or a portion" of the capital.
The pmition of the market for American securi-
ties is noticed as follows by Messrs. D. Bell, Son,
and Co. :
The business in American securities during the past week
has been allnost entirely suspended. Some of the Southern
State stocks have been offered for sale more freely at lower
pekes, but purchasers do not come forward at present. The
United States Flonds are much out of favour and a sale to
any extent, with the present feeling of distrust, could not
be effected in the London market.

Some sales of the Turkish Loan of 1858 were
pressed to-day, and the price fell I per cent., clos-
ing at 54 to 14. The Loan of 1854 was last quoted
69 to showing a teanction of g per cent. Mexican
'Bonds were likovise flatter in sympathy with the
general The Spanish Coupon Certifi-
cates were prejudiced by a renewal of the sales
which have been noticed during the last two or
three days, and which are said to be for account of
M. Mitin.

In the market for bank shares Union Bank of

more offered. Red Sea Telegraph, Peninsular and

flatness. Van Diemen's Land shares were more
