London, England, 1865-05-19 00:00:00

The Money Market presents a much easier ten-
dency to-day. The favourable Bank returns, and
the authoritative denial given to the reports of com-
mercial failures prevalent during the last few days,
have engendered more confidence. Discounters
have shown a willingness to negotiate paper at
cheaper rates, and while they have generally charged
41 4i per cent. for first class bills, they have taken
in exceptional instances 4-1 per cent.
The alterations shown in the Bank of England
return are very encouraging, an increase having
been made in the reserves of the establishment.
Annexed are the particulars:—

of the £10,000,000 of the Peruvian Consolidated 5
Per Cent. Loan applications have been invited.
The price is 83i, and applications can be made till
the 24th inst. An improvement has also been
made and announced in the original terms of the
loan. The sinking fund is to be advanced from 4
to 5 per cent., and drawings are to take place at
par, instead of purchases being made in the market.
The Bank of France return is also of a very
favourable character, the bullion having increased
£613,333, while the discounts have decreased
£760,000, and the notes in circulation £386,666.
Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the French 3 per Cent Rentes were 67f. 55c.
Firm.

The English Stock Market, after opening at a
slight improvement this morning, shows a tendency
to lower quotations. The funds were at one time
1 higher, but have since receded. Consols for
money are 901 3-, and for the account, 898 1 ex div.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881
1 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. prem. ; and India 5 per
Cents., 1061 1.
Foreign Stocks exhibit general depression, and
business is very dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
are 731 ; ditto Consolides, 471 4 ; Mexican, 251 8 ;
ditto New, 241 8 ; Greek, 194 201; Spanish Passive,
291 ; ditto Certificates, 151 1 ; Italian, 641 651 ;
and Confederate Loan, 9 10.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a limited scale ; prices, however, in one or
two instances, exhibit rather more firmness. Great
Northern A Stock and Metropolitan have each im-
Pro.ved 155., and Brighton 10s., while Great Western
have declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
without any material change to report in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares are, in one or
two instances, a shade flatter. London and Brazi-
lian have declined to 43 ; London Joint Stock to
60 ; South Australian have advanced to 37 ; Gene-
