The Money Market appears rather easier in con-
sequence of the agumented supplies resulting from
the dividend payments at the Bank of England.
There is a steady enquiry, and the demand for com-
mercial purposes seems to be increasing, but the
rates exhibit less stringency, and first class bills,
which a few days ago could only be discounted at 6
per cent., are now negotiable at 51- per cent.
A meeting of the share and bondholders of the
Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada will

proposals contained therein of the select committee,
appointed at the meeting held in January last.
A small quantity of gold, viz., £4,000 was sent
into the Bank of England yesterday, but £40,000

No alteration of importance took place in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday.
Gold is now 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris, and about 1 per cent. higher here *si
than in Hamburg. st

Increased buoyancy has been perceptible in the °V
market for Public Securities to-day, a continuance stool
of speculative purchases having caused a further ~tod
advance in the quotations. Consols are 89-; 90 ssttooecl

is rather more active, but it is chiefly
rOonnected with the settlement of the account.
