MONEY MARKET.  THIS DAY.  Two o'CLocct  A further considerable advance has occurred in the English stock market to-day, prices being strengthened by the renewal of operations by tho government broker, and the intelligence of a firm market yesterday At Paris. At the present season, lust before the dividend period, it may also be note numerous purchases are generally made by parties who anticipate the favourable influence usually exerted by the demand for eligible re-investment then apparent. Consols have reached 97 for the account, and aro now quoted 961 to 97, with a favourable appearanee. For cash they also for a moment touched the integer, but the price now and for the greater part of tho morning has been 961 to The official burliness statement is as follows: Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 97, 961, 1; ditto for account, 97, 961. South Sea Stock, 1071. Annuites of 30 years, 1860, 71. The unfunded debt is firm, without much movement. Exchequer Bills remain quoted 435. to 40s. premium, and India Bonds aro nominally as before. In the foreign stock market the general business is not extensive, but a line of speculative operations for the new account is being taken up in a few descriptions, including Mexican, Spanish, and Peruvian, though there would not appear in any case to be a more valid basis upon which to ground expectations of a higher market than is to be found in the rising tendency of the other departments of the Stock Exchange, though it must be admitted, as proved by experience, that the more speculative descriptions of foreign values usually sympathise with a general upward movement of the other markets. To-day's business list is Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 69. Mexican Bonds, 271,1 ; ditto, for account, 17th Oct., '271,1. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, for account, 91, Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account, 241 ; ' ditto Passive, 51,, ; ditto Three per Cents., for account, 37!. Venezuela Deferred, 11.  The committee of Spanish bondholders havo lumdcd to us the subjoined not over-courteous answer of the finance minister, to the memorial addressed by Mr. Weisweiller on the subject of the coupons :  (Translation.) Finance Ministry, Madrid, Sept. 22. The law of the Ist of August List having decided everything relating to the settlement of the debt, and the tort of each and every• credit, it is u,cless to enter into fresh discussions on the subject, when the only thing remaining for the government is the punctual fulfilment of the abovementioned law.  This I have already signified to you, and repeat it here, in answer to your communication of the 11th inst. God preserve you many years. (Signed) JUAN Mut%) l'ilt-nu.Lo. Daniel Wcisweiller, Esq.  It is further stated that M. Borraji had left Madrid on the 24th, for London and l'aris, to settle about the conversion of the bonds with the various corn mittees. M. Oliveira had not yet arrived at Madrid. A very painful impression has been created in tho Stock Exchange and its vicinity to-day, by the determined suicide of Mr. Ingle Mudge, a member of the house. The unfortunate man was in the house this morning, mid shook hands with some of his friends, without any great change being remarked in his manner, tut a very short time afterwards he was a corpse, having swallowed a large quantity of prussic acid at a broker's office in Throgmorton-street, so that death was instantaneous. Ho leaves a widow and two young children to mourn his loss.  The share settlement, though with a rising appearance, owes its features in most cases to the jobbers having oversold themselves in particular stocks. Rates of arrangement have varied much. The following are some :—London and North Westerns, tto continuation ; Great Westerns, to continuation, takers of „ ; South &sterns, about even, say 1-16 backwsrdation to 1-16 continuation; Lancashire and Yorkshires A to 4 backWardation; Midlands, 1-16 backwartation to 1-16 continuation,  about even; Great Northerns, 1-16 to 1-32 back: wardation; Caledonians, 1-32 to 1-16 continuation.

It is believed that some of the " bears" have been rather considerably " touched" by this sudden rise in values, for which they were quite unprepared, having reckoned on keeping the market down for some weeks longer. The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the pricea which ruled this day. Where the asterisk (*) is prefixed it is to be understood that the share rate of interest is less the income tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our  calculation. To render the calculation strictly accurate, the proportion of interest which may havo accrued since last dividend period should, in each case, be taken into account: Moe per Cent.
