Ed MONEY MARKET.-(TllIS DA Y.) Two °Two& Business in the Stock Exchange to-day is very quiet, owing to the approach of the holidays, but the highly favourable nature of the Bank return has strengthened the tendency to firm ness. The funds and all other securities are consequently well supported, at yesterday's clueing quotations, and in some cases, including several of the home railways, a farther slight im provement has taken place. The discount market is firm to-day, with an increased amount of business, owing to the maturing of a considerable amount of Australian bills, and to the circumstance that drafts which have been kept back in expectation of a reduc. tion in the Bank rate are now being brought for ward. Nevertheless, exceptional tranßactions are reported at N per cent. At Paris today, according to Mr. Reuter'e tele gram, the Three per Cent. Routes were quoted ear. 3uc. , ex Coupon, showing a reduction of k per cent., after allowing for the deduction of the quarterly dividend. Consols are now quoted 891 to g, ex div., for money, and 89} to 1, ex div., for the account (Jan. 10). The official business report is as follows Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 881,i, ; ditto for account, 891 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 8854 ; New Three per Cents., 881, ; Annuities, 1885, 14 7-16 ; Bank Stock, 239, 1, 238 ; India Stock, shut ; ditto for account, 216, ea div., for the open ing ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 103 ; and Ex chequer Bills, March, 4s. dis. Foreign stocks are firm. Confederate Bonds have risen 1 percent., and Spanish Passive Bonds and Cer tificates f. Otherwise, prices are mostly unaltered. Some of the present quotations are as follows, viz. :—Greek, 221 to 23; Mexican, 291 to ; Confederate, 62 to 64 ; Spanish Passive, 311 to I ; the Certificates, 14 to I ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 701 to 3 ; ditto 1862, 711 to 721 ; and the Consolidds, 471 to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 98 ; Egyptian, 951 ; ditto, 1864, 951, 95f ; ditto Scrip, 11, I prem. ; 65 ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 711 ; Mexican, 291, 3 ; ditto 1864, 271 ; Portuguese, 1853, 471 Russian, 1862, 87/, 1 ; Turkish, 1838, 1001. bonds, 73 ; ditto 1862, for account, 721, 72. Egyptian Loan scrip is quoted 11 to 11 prem. ; Danubian,l dis. to par ; Monte-Video, I to 1 prem.; Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, 1 to 11 prem., showing a fresh rise. International Financial shares are now quoted 21 to prem. ; London Financial, 9 to 1 prem. ; General Credit, 2 1 to 3 prem. ; Imperial and Mercantile Credit, 3N to N prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1 ; Ottoman Socitite G4n4rale, 21 to f pram ; and Anglo-Egyptian Bank, 3 to I dis. The reduction in the Bank rate of disconnl has of course been received with satisfaction, as involving a further relief to trade, yet has occasioned a little surprise in souse quarters, from its taking place at a time when sovereigns are being draughted away rather largely to Egypt, and when there is a prospect that any additional relax ation in the value of money may give a stimulus to the export of gold to other countries, and of silver to the East. It is at the same time obvious that the Bank on this occasion has acted much more promptly than usual ; ordinarily, when it lowers its rate, it merely adapts itself to a movement that has already taken place in the general market, whereas, the rate of discount for good bills, which on Wednesday was 64 per cent , fell yesterday, without any cause whatever except the Bank's action, to 51, showing a reduction of to a per cent. In view, however, of the highly favourable character of the weekly return issued lest evening, it will be generally considered that the Directors are justified in the measure they have taken. The total reserve (notes and coin) in the banking department is now no lets than 9,593,9261., showing an increase of 745,512/. since last week, and the coin and bullion have increased 282,0171., while the private securities have descended to the unusually low point of 17,730,0661. This latter movement, in especial, indicates a oontraction of mercantile engagements, and the Bank directors apparently think that the time has arrived when they ought to do something to check the constant falling off in their discount business. The joint-stock banks have reduced their allow ance for money on deposit from 5 to 44 per cent.

The cause of the accident is attributed to water rushing into the pit where the mon were working from an adjoining old pit. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARIE-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) There was a very poor show of English wheat in our market today, and the general quality of the samples was but middling. Really fine Navels were disposed of at Monday's currency, but all other kinds were quite neglected. In prices, however, no quotable chan g e t oo k pl ace . With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Importers were firm in their demands. Millers purchased for hums diets wants only at late quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were somewhat heavy at last week's currency. The show of both English and foreign barley being large, the trade was dull at barely previous rates. We were fairly supplied with both old and new malt. Fine parcels were taken at fall prices. Inferior qualities were a dull inquiry. There was rather a large supply of oats on the stands. The oat trade was hi from active ; nevertheless Monday'. quotations were well supported. The inquiry for beans was heavy, at late rates. Peas were extremely inactive, at barely stationary prices. Fine flour was steady. Inferior parcels sold heavily. Toe value of most seeds was supported, but the market was somewhat heavy. The inquiry for cakes, both English sad foreign, was very moderate. 4.3:11tR KIR mum's. Emeusz. Pet Qr. i POP QS. wain. a ; 06.83. I. U. isms.

Will those of 7our readers who are concerned, kindly pay their cheques into the respective hanks ou the Friday preceding instead of the Saturday!—We are, &a., HENRY WALKER. EDWAIID KI-VNIDY, Secretaries to the Early Closing Association. The Midland Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,402/. over last year ' • the North Eastern an increase of 4,6561. ; the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire a decrease of 290/. ; and the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of 741. The directors of the Continental Bank Corpora tion have given notice, that the third instalment of 51. per share on the new shares is payable on the 2nd January. A third call of W. is to be paid on the shares of the Wait India and Pacific Steam Ship Company (Limited) by the 6th January. The first general meeting of the City Offices Com pany (Limited) is convened for the 23rd instant. A special meeting of the shareholders in the East India Financial Association is to be held on Tues day next, to "report program, and for other business." With reference to the market for American secu rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : We have to report a steady market for drastic.* securi- ties in London now our last, sod quotations remain almost +weltered, except for Erie shares, which have declined 2 dole. 5.20 Bonds, after touc►in` 42, have slightly im- proved, closing arm, at 421 to Considerable tissue tions have taken place in the scrip of the Atlantic sod Great Western Certificates of Debenture, which declined on the issue of the allotment letter to premium, but have since advanced to premium. In the Bankruptcy - Court yesterday there were some further proceedings in the case of Mr. Kimberly, formerly of the firm of Kimberley and Pope, soli citors, and who has been mixed up with various I public couir.nies as promoter and otherwi-e. Some discussion took place with regard to the manner is which certain members of the Stock Exchange, after being instructed by the bankrupt to buy a large number of shares in the "New Theatre Com pany (Limited)," were left iu the lurch by him. The commissioner, in giving judgment, remarked that "when the bankrupt bought the shares iu the New Theatre Company, if he had done it with a view of sending up the price, it was nothing le-4 than a fraud on the public, especially as the bankrupt offered to buy the shares at a prewimu.' The bankrupt's order of discharge was busprude.l for twelve months, but protection is to be given for three months. The following, on the bullion market, is from the circular of Messrs. Sharps alai Wilkws : We have but little change to report in the market for bar silver. The demand has ou the whole bets' good, and the price toles. ibly well supported, particularly for ship ments from Marseilles. The telegram from Bombay now some days overdue is anxiously is:pecked, as is the probable event of a rise in the exchange very extensive transactions in silver would doubtleas tale place. The reduction in the Bank rate of disccant toelay may also tend to iteuence the market. favourably. The irlairy for Mexican dollars ens again been extremely limited, and but few a. des have been effected during the past fortuight. The price closes nomi nally at :sa. (id. per though owing to the ::rrival of the Louisiana at St.Nansire with upwards of .49.4ru0 on merchants' account, the 'mulct has this after own an ex ceediegly weak appearance. The arrivals of gold from America have been very cmsiderable, and thcet,h eirep tional purchases have been made for export, tie larger por tion has been sent into the Bank of England.
