MONBY MABKBT.-TIIIS DAY.

Two o'CLocu.
The funds to-day are firm, stock being less
plentiful in the market, in consequence of the recent
investments of the public. Prices are now quoted a
shade better than they closed yesterday.
Consols for the 9th Sept. have varied between
911 to 4, and 911 " buyers," and are now quoted
exactly 911. For money, the price is 911.
The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked
911 to ; the New Three per Cents., 911 to 92;
Exchequer 13111 e, 3s. dis ; Exchequer Bonds, 984;
and India Bonds, 225. to 17s. die.
Foreign stocks of all descriptions are very
quiet. The entire list of the morning's bales
is subjoined, viz. : —Brazilian Old Five per
Cents. at 102 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 971 (exch. 25fr.) ; Dutch Two-ar,d-a-
Half per Cents., 641; Mexican, 221; Russian Five
per Cents., 1121; the Spanish Coupon Certificates, 6
to 131 per cent. ; and Turkish Guaranteed Four per
Cents., for account, 994 ex div.
In the &icon* market yesterday the demand for
money was more active. The extraordinarily ex-
tensive operations which are now going forward in
bullion are of themselves sufficient to induce a good
demand. In the Stock Exchange, owing to the re-
cent bona fide purchases, money continues in good I
supply,andscarcely commanded yesterday more than
4 per cent. on government securities up to the next
settlement, fixed for the 9th proximo.
The amount of specie and bullion brought by the
Magdalena from the West Indies and Spanish :Main
is stated at 276,6001., of which 169,7001. is described
as silver, and 103,900!. gold. This supply is not
expected to come to hand until next week.
We understand that the shipments of specie
and bullion for the East by the Colombo,
which will leave Southampton to-morrow, will be
even larger than was anticipated, reaching. about
1,100,0001. Of this amount, the whole consists of
silver, with the exception of about 16,0001. in go!d.
The silver is destined chiefly for Bombay and Cal-
cutta.
The imports of silver from the Continent con-
tinue very extensive, and fully account for the
continued remittances of gold thither. Within the
last day or two, the steamers Panther and Triton
I have arrived in the Thames, from Boulogne,
the Clarence, from Antwerp, and the Rainbow,
from Rotterdam, bringing a total of 172 cases
8 barrels and 26 bags of silver, estimated value
of which is about 180,000/. These arrives help
to account for the recent fall of Id. per ounce
in the price of silver, which may tend to
render the future withdrawals from the Continent
more moderate. It is understood that, in addition to
the silver brought by the Magdalena, a considerable
quantity of the metal drawn from the Continent will
remain over, after the departure of the Colombo, and
will, of course, be available for the ensuing steamer
of the 4th September. There is an impression that the
shipments on the 4th Septemberwill be considerably
lees than those by the Colombo, but much will de-
pend upon the next sluices from India.
Of the 183,0001. in specie brought from New York
by the steamer Asia, about 90,0001. in gold yester-
day reached London, of which 50,0001. has been taken
for the Continent, to pay for silver. The residue,
which remains on sale, may perhaps be purchased
for the same quarter.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
steady, at last Friday's rates, with only a limited
amount of business. The current quotations are
subjoined, viz.:
Amsterdam, three months, 11.191 to ; ditt short,
11.16 to 17 ; Rotterdam, three months, 11.191 to 4; Ant-
werp and Broseels, three months, 25.36 ton ; Hamburg,
three month*, 13.81 to 1; Paris, three months, 26.60 to
6; ditto, short, 25.20 to 5; Marseillee, there months,
16.80 is 4; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, three mottle, 1194
to 1; Petersburg, three months, 351 to 1; Vicente, three
maths, 10.29 to 31 ; Trieste, Hove months, 10.30 to 2:
Naples, three months, 421 to 1; Genoa, three months, 25.75
to 60 • Leghorn, three months, 29.80 to 6; Palermo, three
mentia, 1274 to 128 ; Messina, three methe, 127/ to
1; Madrid, three months, 481 to 1; Cadiz, thru
months, 491 to 1; Oporto, three mans, 621 to 53;
Lisbon. three months, 621 to 1.
From Constantinople we have some further parti-
culars of the composition offered to his creditors by
• Mr. Giustiniani. The offer is to pay.so per cent.
at once in government paper (*erg's)) and to dis-
charge the rest of the claims, half in six months and
half in twelve months, in the paper currency, at
a fixed exchange, but without the deposit of
security. As the latter description of paper is at a
heavy discount, it is calculated that the entire offer
will realise about 63 per cent. of the claims upon
the house.
The sugar market sustained a further decline of
6d. to ls. per cwt, yesterday. Rice has receded about
3d. per cwt.
The proposed dividend on the stock of the Cale-
donian Railway Company is officially announced at
the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance
of about 9,000/. to be carried forward. For the
corresponding period of 18.36 the dividend was at
the rate of only 1 per cent. per annum, with a
balance of 2,3711.

The directors of the Scinde Railway Company
give notice that no application for shares in the
capital of the Indus Strata Flotilla can be received

the act for the relief of this company passed by the Canadian

sent herewith, for the information of the shareholders. Since
the date of their last report, ,bed rectors have nominated
Mr. Thomas E. Blackwell, C.E., foe a seat at the Canadian
booed, as the representative of the English shareholders and
directors. Mr. Blackwell will proceed to Montreal in the
early part of next month. The directors feel convinced that

to the working of the line, much adventsge will be derived
by the oompany. I beg to transmit to you, herewith, notice
of call on the preference capital of the company, and also po-
i flee respecting the issue of the residue of it.—l am, air, your
very obedient servant, C. P. Rorer, Secretary.
Some of the purposes for which the meeting is
called at Toronto are thus stated:

proving and sanctioning a resolution of the directors for in-

fying an agreement entered into for the purchase and acqui-
ation, by. the Grand Trunk Railway Company, of the under-
taking, rights, and powers of the London and Grand Trunk
Junction Railway Company, and for uniting and merging
the laet-mentioned company with and into the Grand Trunk

Railway Compoiy. -
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Carr,
Brothers, and Co., of Newcastle-on-Tvne, took place
yesterday at the oifioe of Messrs. Freshfield, in Bank- '
buildings. Mr. Smith having been appointed to
the chair, Mr. Freshfield stated that a consulta-
tion had previously taken place among some of
the principal creditors, when it was decided that
no important step should be taken till the affairs of
the firm had been laid before Mr. Coleman, the ac-
countant, who had now prepared a statement of
their affairs. Mr. Coleman, in presenting the
accounts, said that he had consulted the
chief secured creditor, wh'eh was the North-
umberland District Bank, with a view to
i a moderate time being given to Messrs. Carr to
strange their affairs, to which there seemed no

objection, and if the other creditors would show the
same lenity, he had no doubt of the estates realising
not only all the claims, but leaving a considerable
surplus beyond the total liabilities. There was some
discussion, in which Mr. Chayter, Mr. Holland, Mr.
Smith, Mr. Freshtield, and others, took part. At
the suggestion of Mr. Coleman, it was agreed to
place the affairs of Messrs. Carr in the hands of
liquidators, who were nominated as follows:—Mder-
r.
Digs, of the District Banking Company ; Mr. An
son, of the Branch Bank of England, at Newcastle;
and Mr. Samuel George Smith, of Lombard-street.
The financial statement was as follows :

The funds to-ay were a little flatter, but towards
the close buyers came forward, and the final quota-
tions were the came as those of yesterday. Upon
the whole, the market may be said to retain consi-
derable steadiness of character. Since the late rally,
speculative operations have been prosecuted with
less activity, but purchases for investment continue,
and afford great support to the market.
