THE MONEY MARKET.

The Bank has raisedthe price of fine gold to 78s. per
ounce standard.

The Bank return attests the activity of the recent
demand for money. The reserve shows a diminution of
no less than £1,345,850. The total is now reduced to
a point at which any further drain of importanee would
probably lead to an advance in the Bank rate of dis-
count. The coin and bullion show a decrease of
£349,230.

This has been the first transfer day in stocks lately
shut for the dividends, and, as usual on such occasions,
there have been a number of small sales. Prices, there-
fore, have shown dulness, although the accounts from
the Paris Bourse were rather less unfavourable. In the
discount market there was a tendency to ease, and
loans on Government securities are freely obtained in

Stock Exchange at 2 per cent. In foreign exchange,
this-afternoon, billa-upon most places were in demand,
and -the rates for Holland and- Elambarrwere slightly
lower than last post. The Austrian quotations indicate
increasing distrust-in the finances of that empire. About
£B,OOO in bar gold was-taken from Bank to-day for the
Continent—Times.

The -funds were ,dull and slightly flatter, -owing ap-
pazeiitly to the indications of uneasuieSs on the Paris
Bourse. The decline, however, scarcely amounted to k
per cent. In the share markets the principal features
were the flatness of Brazilian and the continued firmness
of Indian and British railway shares. Lancashire and
Yorkshire stock -was -in great request owing to-favour-
able rumonrs reopeating the coming 'dividend. The
demand for money has not slackened, and the applica
tions at the Bank were again large ; yet best bills are
still taken in Lombard-street at 2* per cent. The ten-
dency of the foreign exchanges this afternoon was not
favnurable-rbut the actual reduction was principally con-
fined to the rates-on Hollr.nd.—Daily News.
