Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1860-12-17 00:00:00

been chartered at a reduction of 2s per ton for
Salt. There has been no chartering honieWards
from India during the past week.- Shipowners
are expecting high rates, as there is every pro-
bability of the transports in China being retained
in Government employ,. The Guano rate is still
655, but an advance daily looked for, as the
present rate does not command much tonnage.
Pacific freights are weaker : Outwards 3os from
Wales to Callao being difficult to obtain. For
the Brazils, tonnage offers very freely, and rates
have fallen 2s to 3s per ton. In Freights to U.S.
ports, thefe- is little doing, and 'as tonnage is
abundait, we 'ttlo not look for any improvement
for some time.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day
the Funds were very firm, with a continued
tendency to improvement. A fresh advance of
per cent. occurred in ConsolB. In the tritish
Railway share Market firmness' also prevailed,
itila most of the principal Stocks, particularly
South-Easterns, were dearer. Canadas and French
were steady.

The funds showed a tendency to improvement, and
closed with a firm appearance at:a4 advance of 4- per
cent. The upward movement inikitishais
railway
ainT: ofelts
formed a prominent feature. In every
the Stock Exchange the closing prites`Wbre the highest
of the day, especial buoyatity being observable. after the
recognised hefts, The demands fig money, bothin the
open market and at the Bankof England, was brisker ;•
the best bills, however, were still negotiated .at 41 per
cent —Daily News City Article.
The railway market - continues to show a firm ten-
dency, and in most of the leading stocks a fresh advance
has taken place. r
1 6
The English funds continue to show great steadiness.
The tone of the market, especially at the close, was
favourable. In the foreign -exchanges bills on ITam-
burg were in demand, and the rate was consequently 8
tribe lower ; other places were about the same as last
post. About £BO,OOO in fine geld was sent-to the Bank,
while sovereigns rather exceeding that amount were
withdraWn for America. Of the £295,000 by the West
India steamer Atrato £llO,OOO is in gold, and £185,000
in silver.—/imes city Article.
The Times says the new Turkish:Loan still fails to
attract subscribers, on this .side, but the accounts from
Paris state that the French applications are numerous.
The 24th instant is be kept as a general holiday. It
is expected that the Stock Exchange will be closed, and
that the attendance in the transfer-offices at the Bank
of England will be merely nominal.
The Daily News says there is nothing in last night's
Bank returns suggestive of anxiety. The moderate
decrease in the coin and bullion is attributable to the
demand for coin for America.

The aggregate railway traffic return of the United
Kingdom, for the week ending December Bth, exceeded
by £20,230 the corresponding week last year.
Depression in the. sugar refining trade has caused
the failure of Messrs. Holdsworth and Co. of Mile-end,
Newtown. The liabilities are about L 20,000 to 125,000;
assets estimated at about ss. in the pound.
The liabilities of Mr. Henry Bateman, timber mer-
chant, of Broad-street, who has been compelled through
the suspension of Piper and Son to call his creditors
together. are estimated at nearly £50,000. Assets
expected to realise 14s. or 16s. in the pound.
The LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET
to-day was very quiet, and nothing worthy of
notice to report.
The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was
steady, at the following quotations :—Spot, 60s
3d; year, 60s ; spring, 608 3d.

At the BOROUGH HOP MARKET to-day, there
was a moderate inquiry for good and useful Hops
at full prices. All other kinds are a dull in-
quiry, especially American which continues to
arrive in large quantities.
