MONEY MARIE?.-(THIS Ali.;

Two o'Ctouw.
The stock markets to-day are very quiet.
The funds are quoted the same as yesterday
afternoon. British railway stocks in most instances
exhibit an improvement of about I per oent ,
which is connected with the preparations for Thurs-
day's settlement. To-day is "continuation day" in
this department. In other respects there is no
feature of the slightest interest in the Stock Ex-
change.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
GBfr. 10c., being the same as yesterday.
The scrip of the new Indian loan is inn, at 100 i
to N.

Consols are officially marked 914 and for
money, and 92 for the account. The pre-
sent quotations are 91i to for cash,
and 92 to 1 for the 10th of April. The official
business report is as follows : New Three per
Cents., 91i ; New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 754
India Stock, 221 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1004,
I ; ditto for account, 10011 ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1868, 951 ; ditto 1869, 961, ; ditto
Bonds, 255., 20s. dis. ; Exchequer Bills (June),
7e., 2s. die. ; ditto, March, 4a. dim. to par.
The foreign stock market is quiet. The Turkish
loan of 1858 is rather dull, at 53 to
ex div. ; Mexican bonds continue to meet with
inquiry, and are very firm ; transactions are
recorded at 244 for the account (14th inst.).
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1868, 854 ; ditto
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 85j ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 631 (exchange 126.) ;
ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 1011 ; Mexican
Three per Cents., 24 ; ditto for account, 244 ;
Portuguese Throe per Cents., 1853, 461; the
Spanish Committee's Certificates, 6 ; Turkish
Six per, Cents., 1868, 63, ; ditto for account,
531 ex div.

There was a brisk demand yesterday for money
in commercial channels at 71 to 8 per cent. for the
best bills. At the Bank of England the applica-
tions were upon rather an active scale and com-
prised some for the advances usual at this period of
the quarter.

About 56,0001. in Australian gold was bought by
the Bank yesterday, and further amounts are ex-
pected to be sent in during the week, the Thames
having arrived from Melbourne with 69,0001., and
the Ydale with 23,0001.

The private financial accounts from America
show that a good deal of confidence continued to be
felt that the progress of affairs would be of a
pacific character. The most unfavourable feature
is the belief expressed that the mischievous and re-
trograde Tariff Bill will become law. The latest
quotation of exchange is 1061 to 106, being
much the same as that last received. The latest
quotation of New York and Erie Railway shares
was 331, and of Illinois Central 84, or equal to 20i
dia. here. The London price is 264 to 26 dia. It
is worthy of remark that the New York quotation
replies to the price of 284 dis. sent from London,
and that the improvement there has occurred in
spite of some large sales which have been effected
on English account.

A telegram having been received from Alexan-
dria, rid Trieste, with dates from Shanghae to
the 24th of January, it is inferred that the Cal-
cutta and China mails have reached Suez.
The advices from Paris are of a satisfac-
tory character with regard to the probability of
no default occurring in respect of the Constanti-
nople bills on M. Mir4s, which will arrive at ma-
turity in the course of the next few days.
The Stock Exchange committee have appointed
next Friday a special settling day in the shares of
the Trust and Agency Company of Australia (first
issue), and in the new 20/. shares of the London
Chartered Bank of Australia. Both stocks are to
be marked in the official list.

Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. publish a noti-
fication from the Grand Russian Railroad Coin-
pally to the effect that, " with the view of tom-
, pleting the network of 1,070 miles, to be opened
in the early part of the year 1862, as well as to in-
crease the guarantees offered to the bondholders,"
a final cell of s. r. 62.50 is to be paid on the shares
between the sth and 15th of April. Arrangements
have been made with Messrs. Baring Brothers to
advance for a period of six months to those share-
holders who may desire it one-half of the payment
now called for, subject to 5 per cent. interest.
The traffic receipts on the open portion of the
South West line of the Madras Railway for the
half-year ending 31st December last amounted to
36,8491. on 137 miles, against 31,835/. on 96 miles
in the same period of the previous year. The di-
rectors have received accounts of the opening of a
further section of 70 miles of this line, westward
from Tripatoor, on the let of last month, making
the entire length now open 207 miles, from Madras
to Salem.

The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 1,2361., and the South Eastern
an increase of 7091.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway
of Canada, for the week ending Feb. 22, were

The Australian and New Zealand Gazette, in a
series of six articles has published the statistics of
the Australian banks, comprising the capital, re-
serve, and dividends from the conunencement of
business by each establishment.
The official liquidators of the Northumberland
and Durham District Banking Company have
issued another report. As regards the anticipated
receipts, they "regret to say that they have been
grievoesly disappointed, owing to various circum-
stances which they could not control," and which
are alluded to. The general result of the proceed-
ings in connexion with the winding up is stated as
under :—The liabilities, which were stated in Nov.,
1859, at 974,4371., have by the payments above
stated, together with the transfer of sundry debtors,
been reduced to 902,0111. ; showing a decrease in
the liability to the extent of 72,4261. The amount
of assets taken in Nov., 1869, was 1,110,5971. ; the
amount outstanding at this date is 1,088,6151. The
report concludes as follows :

From the very great disappointment that the liquidators
have experienced in realising the several assets, they feel
that they ought not to venture to predict the periods at
which the remaining &meta may be collected ; but taking
into consideration that the following matters may be ar-
ranged, and the funds arising therefrom made available in
the autumn of the year • • • there ought, by the
time before-mentioned, to be a sum of 300,000/. for a divi-
dend upon 1,800,0001., upon which last amount divi lends
have 'lank, been paid to the extent of 10a in the poand.
