The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
There has been few transactions in the stock market,
but the opening prices, chiefly on the character of the
Bank return, showed an improvement of 1, and were
maintained to the close. In the discount market there
has been a good demand, partly in anticipation of the
4th. No gold was taken from the Bank. The Ceylon,
with the outward India and China mails, will take
£95,649 in specie, of which £76,000 is in silver. The
railway market was rather better in the earlier part of
the day, but subsequently relapsed, especially after
regular hours.—Times City Article.
The stock markets were influenced by the unexpect-
edly favourable character of the Bank return, which
fully explains the reduction in the rate of discount.
Consols advanced f per cent., and in the market for
British railway stocks the tendency of prices was
upwards. There .was a good demand in the discount
market, but the supply of money was ample, and the
best bills were taken at 4a to 41 per cent. On Monday
preparations to meet the bills due on the 4th will
engage attention.—Daily News City Article.
The Daily News does not entertain any exaggerated
apprehension respecting the probable flow of gold to the
United States. Specie shipments now commenced argue
sagacity and providence :
.not a speculation upon the
turn of the exchange. A great blow having been struck
at public confidence, specie is largely absorbed as a
medium ordinarily'furnished by bills of exchange. Again
specie may be sent as the best medium of paying for
securities or 'produce, which are excessively depredated
in the United States.

The stocks in the warehouses of the United Kingdom,
as compared with last year, show an increase in the fol-
lowing articles :—Currants, 86 per cent.; brandy, 71
per cent.; tea, 18 per cent.; tobacco, 8 per ecnt.; and
wine, 30 per cent. The articles that exhibit a decrease
are—Coffee, 20 per cent.; raisins, 79 per cent.; pepper,
131 per cent.; rum, per cent.; and sugar, 8 per cent.
The statistics of the import and export trade show
that whilst we have imported fully £20,000,000 more
this year than last year, the increase in our exports is
only about £3,700,000.
The trade statistics of the port of New York for the
first ten months of the present year show, compared with
last year, an increase of £5,100,000 sterling in exports,
a decrease of £2,000,000 in the imports, and a decrease
of £3,560,000 in the exports of specie—leaving a large
balance in favour of America.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company intend, on the
Ist of January, to raise the rates of freights and passage
money to the point at which they stood previously to
the reduction made in 1856. The heavy cost of fuel is
assigned as the reason. This cost, daring the last twelve
months, has amounted to £850,000.
