rHE MONEY MARKET.

CITY, Two o'CLccs.

Business on the Stock Exchange to-day was quiet..
Railways were steady. Foreign Bonds rather easier.
Consols are now 92k to 92} for money, and 92k to 92i
for account, Oct. 4th.
In Foreign Stocks, Spanish are i better, and there is a
like improvement in Egyptian (1868), but Turkish (1869)
are k lower. The Five per Cents. and Italian are I
better.

Although the return published shows the reserve of
the Bank to have attained the unusual proportion of
nearly 54 per cent. of the liabilities, and the demand for
discount at the minimum of 3 per cent. has entirely
ceased, the directors abstained from making any altera-
tion in the official rate, and the probability, therefore, is
that no movement will now be adopted until about the
payment of the October dividends.
Vienna advices continue favourable with regard to the
state of the Bourse, and mention as an indication of the
recovery of financial confidence that the principal. banks
in that city are bringing out new undertakings, among
the chief of which are some fresh railways.

At a meeting of Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co. (Limited),
at Middlesborough, the directors resolved that an interim
dividend of 5 per cent, for the past half-year, equal to
.£llos, per share, should be paid on the 3d October.
The directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada
propose to recommend (.übject to the auditors' examina-
tion) a dividend on the ordinary shares for the half-year
ended the 31st of July, at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum. _ _

It is stated that Messrs. Bullivant and Allen have
received orders from the Postmaster-General to proceed at
once with the laying of the telegraph cables manufactured
by them for the Jersey and Guernsey Telegraph Com-
pany, and now purchased by the Postmaster-General
under the Extension of Telegraph Acts, 1868-1869. The
cables will, therefore, be laid in a few days between the
Start Point and Guernsey and Jersey.

MARKETS.-THIS DAY.
MARK LANE.

The grain trade at Mark-lane to-day was characterised
by steadiness, owing chiefly to the favourable reports from
the country markets, and the rates current on Monday
were fully maintained. There was a somewhat limited
supply of New English wheat, the condition of which was
good, while the arrivals from abroad were rather exten-
sive. Sales in all descriptions were effected steadily at
late rates. Barley was in fair supply and request, but
unchanged in value. Malt ruled quiet, and rather easier
in price. Flour at Monday's quotations.
