ONEY MARKET

The Money Market to-day has presented a much
quieter appearance, the inquiry having subsided,
but the rates continue very firm.
A further sum of X 63,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was a general rise in the foreign exchanges
yesterday afternoon, owing to the increased value
of money here.

The Banks of France and Tarin have advanced
their rates of interest to 7 and 8 per cent respec-
tively.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £520,700, and the exports to .£345,000.
Lord Hobart and Mr J. Stewart have joined the
directors of the Imperial Ottoman Bank.

The share list of the Land Credit Company of
Ireland is to be closed on Monday next for London,
and on the Wednesday following for the country.
The subscription list of the Etst Wheal Vor Tin
and Copper Mining Company will close on Wednes-
day next for London, and on Thursday for the
provinces.

The Scottish Universal Finance Bank shares
closed to-day at 2 prem. Such is the confidence
reposed in this undertaking that nearly the whole
of the required capital has been applied for. The
directors have concluded their negotiations for the
purchase of Messrs. Nathan and Co.'s business, of
Cornhill, on most advantageous terms, at the same
time securing their adhesion to the bank. Arrange-
tp
meats have also been made for the transfer to this
company of the business of N. Monteaux and Co.,
of Paris. Under such a favourable commencement,
and with so comprehensive a programme, as may t
be found in another column, there is a sufficient
reason for the commercial confidence which exists
in reference to this company. 9

There has been very little business to-day in the
market for the English Funds; but owing to a dis-
continuance of sales prices have slightly tended
upwards. Consols were 90f for money, and 891,
less the dividend, for the account. Speculators
appear less inclined to enter largely into
transactions either for a rise or fall, and -
the market consequently presents a dull _
appearance. The New Threes are quoted 881 1;
the Reduced Annuities, 888 ; the March Ex-
chequer -I
Bills, 155, to Bs. dis., and the June ditto, s
Bs. to 4s. dis.; and India 5 per Cents., 1041.
In the Foreign Market a general rise has taken
place, but business is not active. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 70 1 ; ditto Consolides, have ad-
vanced to 49a s ; Mexican to 421 431 ; do., New,
to par, * prem. ; Greek to 211 1; Spanish Passive
to 33f f ; and the Confederate Loan to 63 64. 8
Business in the Railway Share Market has been "I
very inactive, and there is no change of importance to record in prices. .t

The following are the current quotations of some 11
of the principal new undertakings:—Imperial l't
i
Bank of China, i I prem. ; Millwall Iron Works, •i 1 prem.; Humber Iron Works, f-, lk prem.; Pro- St(
