Crystal Palace stock is unaltered, at 30 to 32, ex div. In connexion with the continued weakness of Egyptian Bonds of all classes, the rumour of a coining loan continues to be circulated. It seems certain, however, that nothing has yet been arranged, and it is considered very doubtful whether the Viceroy will listen to the pro posals which are understood to be addressed to hini, and which must of necessity be based upon the depressed prices now current. In the impr.. bable event of a loan being arranged upon these distasteful conditions, there is the further doubt as to whether it wouldbe brought upon this market. The year 1866 closes with firm and improv ing markets for public securities. By a vast number of persons it will be remembered as one of the most disastrous ever experienced, marked as it has been by a harvest deficient both in quality and quantity, by the ravages of cholera and of the cattle plague, by an intense financial panic, by numerous mercantile embarrassments, by an un paralleled list of joint-stock failures and windings up, and by a terrible depreciation of stocks and shares, produce, and other property. To a great extent these losses are irretrievable, except by time and patience. But there is no reason to doubt that the trading classes of this country will be true to their character for fortitude and perseverance, and will look forward with renewed hope to the New Year. The aspirations of many people have been moderated and chastened by re cent experiences, and, entering upon it as we du with these sobered feelings, 1867 will be accounted a satisfactory year should its results prove to be only of a moderate character. Notwithstanding our recent reverses there is still a superabundance of enterprise, energy, and wealth in this country, and the nation will belie its past history if, with these aids, it does not achieve even more rapid progress in the future than it has done in the past. The state of the revenue and of rail , way traffic proves how vast are the resources at our disposal, and if the Board of Trade returns may be trusted, the volume of our general external commerce is still highly satisfactory. When to this it is added that the rate of discount at the Bank of England is only 34 per cent., and at the Bank of France 3 per cent., and that the two Banks together hold the astonishing total of close upon forty-eight millions sterling of specie and bul lion, thus insuring a continuance of very low rates of money for a long time to come, it must be ma nifest that the conditions under which the New Year opens are in many essential points unusually auspicious, especially by comparison with the past. Money, the grand stimulant of enterprise, being so abundant and cheap, and the peace of Europe being, according to most interpretations, in a measure insured by the impending great Indus trial Exhibition at Paris, trade and finance ought to have unfettered scope—and, if so, a gratifying development—in the coming year. The dividends will be payable to the public at the Bank of England on Wednesday week, the 9th January. . . . . - - About 13,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, including 10,000 sovereigns from Aus tralia.
