MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two VOLoci.

The funds have shown firmness this morning.
After advancing per cent., however, prices have
returned to the closing quotations of Satur-
day. The other markets are very inactive,
and prices are nominally unaltered. Business in
English railway stocks is restrained by the approach
of the settlement, preparations for which will be
commenced to-morrow.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renters
opened at 68fr. lOc., being about per cent.
lower than on Saturday. _

The Board of Trade returns for the mouth of
September show that the ratio of decrease
in the export trade is increasing. It will
be remembered that in August the exports
of home produce and manufactures were less by
1,197,7641., or 9 per oent., than in Awust, 1880.
In September, the decrease, as compared with Sep-
tember, 1880, rose to 2,426,248/., or 18 per cent.
The total for the nine months is less by 7,929,0141.,
or 7} per cent., than last year. The falling-off is
still chiefly in the American trade, but the ship-
ments of goods, particularly cotton manufactures
and yarn, to India have also declined considerably,
owing to the rise in prices, combined with the bad
state of those markets. As regards imports the
chief movements are a decrease in grain and flour
(although the totals under each of these heads are
still considerable), a diminished import of American
cotton, and increased arrivals of Indian.
An extraordinary meeting of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company is called for the 12th November,
for important objects, namely, to authorise the
creation of capital under the company's act of the
present year, and to authorise the company to sub-
scribe towards the proposed railway, " for the con-
veyance of coal and goods to commence at or near
March, in the county of Cambridge, by a junction
with the Eastern Counties Company's line of rail-
way, and to terminate by a junction with the line
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company,
at or near Agleam, in the county of York, and to
raise the necessary funds for such subscription."
This project has been alluded to on previous oc-
casions in the Daily News.
Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
Weekly List) of the railway calls falling due in the
