The funds are firmer to-day, and a recovery of i per oeut. has taken place. Business in this department continues limited, attention being principally directed to the share markets, where great buoyancy prevails, notwithstanding the extent to which the dealers are engrossed with the settlement. A further important rise has taken place in South Eastern, Great Western, Bahia, Pernambuco, Grand Trunk of Canada, and several other railway stocks, home and foreign. The New Indian Five per Cent. Loan has risen about i per cent., being quoted 104 to hex div. The opening price of the Three per Cent. Renter at Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, is 70.60, being per cent.. better then yesterday. Consols are officially marked 981, cum div., for money, and 951 ►nd t, ex div. for the account. The present quotation is 951 to t, ex div. for the 10th of January. The Three per Cents. Reduced have also been dealt in at 951 and ; the New Three per Cents., at 951 and ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of 1859, at 97/ and 1; the New Indian Loan, for account, at 104/ and lex div. ; and Ex chequer Bills, at 28s. prem. The foreign stock market is more active, and upon the whole somewhat firmer in character, although there is little change in price. The Turkish Loan of 1864 is quoted 77$ to t, and that of 1868, 88 to;. Eqnador Bonds are marked 121, being heavy. Sales are recorded as follows :—Buena Ayr's' Six per Cents., 771; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 981 (exchange 25fr.) ; Chili= Four and-s-Half per Cents., 871, ex div.; Dutch Two-and s-Half per Cents., 851 (exchange 128.); Eqnador New Consolidated, 121 ; Mexi can Three per Cents., for account, 221 New Granada Active, 181 ; Peruvian Uribarren Four-end-a-Half per Cents., 811, 82; Portuguese Threeper Cents., 1863, 481 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 851, ex di,. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 461; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 771; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 118, 681 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1041; Venezuela Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 281. The shares of the Ocean Marine Insurance Com pany are quoted 1 3-16 to 1 6.16 prem., and those of the Universal Marine, 7-16 to 9-16 prem. The Norfolk has arrived off Penzance from Mel bourne, with 68,064 ounces of gold, worth 272,0001. The relief afforded by the falling-in of government annuities forms an important set-off against de mands for the national defences. Next month the Long Annuities, amounting to 1,180,1241. expire, as well u other Annuities to the amount of 308,0001. Adding the 318,3181. of Annuities which expired in October last, we arrive at an al:owlet° decrease of about 1,784,0001. in the annual charge of the National Debt. _ _ A rumour that the Emperor of the French is dis posed to inaugurate the new yeu with fresh de monstrations of a pacific character tends to impart confidence in speculative circles, both hers and on the Continent. The demand for money yesterday inLombardistreet was moderate, at per cent. At the Bank, business was rather limited. In the Stock Exchange, loans on government securities were readily obtainable at 2 per cent. The ensuing settlement in shares and foreign stocks has been fixed for Friday, the 30th inst. The Ripon has arrived with the heavy por tion of the mails from Australia and Bombay, and about 14,0001. in gold ; the Baxonia, from New York, with 38,0001.; and the Tagus, from the Peninsula, with 12,6101. About 20,0001. in gold "was raised on Tuesday from the wreck of the Royal Charter, making a total of about 270,0001., out of 322,0001. brought on . . freight. The Bombay mail is expected in London about the 21st inst. At a meeting of holders of Equador Bonds this day resolutions were puled expressing indignation at the revnt suspension of dividends on the foreign debt. The directors of the Trinidad Railway announce that all the preliminaries have been completed, the plans and estimates having been agreed to by the colonial legislature, tested by an eminent engineer here, and approved by the board. A meeting will accordingly be called in the middle of January, when the directors will give a full report of their proceed ings since the lest meeting, and will develop their plans for the prosecution of the enterprise. Lord Harris, late Governor of Msdrss, and previously for eight years Governor of Trinidad, has joined the board ; as has also Mr. Rennie, of the arm of Cavan and Co. All scrip is to be sent in for exchange for registered shares. It appears that the terms granted by the directors of the Great Ship Company for the loan of 40,0001. for six mouths on mortgage of the Great Eastern are 7i per neut. per annual. The lender is Mr. Mac kenzie. _ _ The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 7,3891., the Great Western an increase of 1,8181., the Great Northern an increase of 2,1131., and the London and South Western an increase of 1,6931. The traffic of the Illinois Central Railway for the first three weeks of November was 72,000 dots. more than in the same period of last year, and 16,000 dole. more than in 1868, the great year for railway traffic in America. The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, received yesterday, shows an increase of 891. The directors of the National Provincial Bank of England have declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, payable the 13th January. The arrangements are notified in connexion with the payment of the half-year's interest on Oriental Inland Steam. Ceylon Railway, Madras Irrigation, and London, Tilbury, and Southend Extension Rail way shares. The Union Bank of Australia will pay the half year's interest upon the debentures of the provinces of Canterbury and Wellington, New Zealand. The half-yearly dividends are advertised on Spanish Consolidated and Deferred Stock. 1 esterday was "making-up day" in the railway share market.
