Very little business is going forward. The Three pee

Exchequer Bonds at 971 to 98. Exchequer Bills

funded Coupons, at 41 perand Dutch Four
per Cent. Certificates at 931.
The opinion is expressed in many quarters, that
the money market will remain tight during the
remainder of the present month. A con-
sideration that has tended to weaken the fends
is the approbensiou that government con-
template a renewal of salmi of stock held by the
&slop Banks. It will be remembered that, upon
the issued the proposals for the loan of 16,000,0
001.
in April last, the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed
to abstain from any further sales of Savings Beak
stock until the instalments upon the loan should be
completed. He was therefore released from this es-
impotent yesterday. This feet. templed with the com-
parative smallness of the Treasury balances at the
Bank. renders the dealetscantions. The powers pos-
sessed by government as regards the large mass of
stock held by the Savings Banks are very 'atomise.
Any amount which the Chancellor of the Exchequer
may sell in the market he can easily replace at a time
like the present, when the requirements of the wet
dassad a periodical creation of fresh government
isavetties. It may be doubted, however, whether
isms* policy would dictate heavy sales from this
mores, in nee of an approaching national loan.
It is apprehended that the stock of bullion held by
the Bank of England is likely to experience some
reduction. The parties who withdrew gold rather
freely from the Bank on Monday for exportation to the
Continent are known to hold orders for the remittance
of some further considerable amounts. An impal-
aa prevails that three withdrawal are connected
with the new Russian loan, which is stated to meet
with some fasour,oa the Bourse of Amsterdam, own,
to the lowness of the pies whit* Russia is willing to
accept for this Five per Cent. stook. Whatever sum
may be raised through this negotiation must, it is
evident, be remitted to Russia in gold, as it leanly
from a bullion loan that relief can be derived by the
Russian government. To procures* adequate supply
of the precious metal it is presumed that application
will be made chiefly to the Landau market.
The Sultan has taken out 16,7001. in specie for the
Peninsula, and the Atrato 1,0004 (besides 3,4001. in
jewellery) for the West Indies. On the other hand.
the Candace has brought in 2,000 os. of gold, worth
nearly LOW, from Africa.
The Anglo-Peruvian Bondholders' Committee, of
which Mr. Scholeield, M.P., is chairman, ennomose
that the Peruvian government has just approved and
ratified the incomes of the sinking funds.
The half-yearly dividends are advertise' d upon
Spanish Three per Cents. and Alabama State Five
per Cent. Sterling Stook. (Messrs. Gowan and Marx.)
A halt yearly dividend at the rate of f

TIMIDAT 3•11111310.
The English stook market was weaker to-day, and
*heed at a decline of 3to 1 per cent. Withdrawals
of bullion from the Bank, the less favourable tendency
*1 the continental exchanges. and the continued
tightnees of the mosey market, have combined to
cause a reaction from yesterday's improvement. The
demand for money to-day was again very satire,
both in Lombard-street and at the Bank, and full
rates were exacted. The pressure was partly
aimed by the final instalment of 10 per tent., which
fell due to-day upon the 18,000,0001. loan, although
Ws payment had been partially met in thanes.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 89 ex div., foe
the 10th January, were first marked aim morning 89,
and had receded at the close of the Stook Exchange
to 881 to f. In the Coned market money_contiiness nues
to command about per cent. The Weld bus

Exchequer Bills were rather fiat, but scarcely
lower in price, being quoted 7e. to 4s. die.
The foreign stock market was rather flatter in cha-
racter this afternoon, but prices are generally fairly
supported. Turkish Six per Cents., however, declined
per cent., closing at 831 to 1. The scrip of the New
Four per Cent. Guaranteed Loan was last quoted 31
to 3 die. Spanish neenrities were better, including
the Passive Bonds. Portuguese Bonds are also
firmer, owing to reports in connexion with
the presence in this city of the Porta-
es Minister of Finance. Some transactions are
recorded in Buenos Ayrean stock at 57 and 63i, minus
tholividend of 11 per ont.
