BRITISH MINER

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLooz.

The funds continue to be prejudiced by the anti-
cipation of the monthly settlement, and have to-day
sustained a fresh decline of I per cent. Speculation
throughout the Stock Exchange is checked by the
uncertain state of foreign politico, and by the ap-
parently increasing drain of gold from the Bank of
France. Home railway stocks are flat. Foreign
bonds have sorely varied.
Consols are now quoted 91 to 1, ex div., for
money, and 911 to 4, ex div., for the account (Jan.
7). The official business report is as follows

91, ex die. ; ditto, for account, 911, ex
div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911,
91 ; New Three per Cents., 91, 4, 901 ; India Five
per Cent. stock, 1061, ; ditto Four per Cent.,
1001 ; Four per Cent. " enfaasl " rupee paper,
96 ; and Exchequer Bills, 45., 7s. die.
In the foreign stock market there is scarcely
any alteration, with the exception of a
relapse in Spanish Certificates and Mexi-
can Bonds. The latter are now quoted 36
to 4. Spanish Passive Bonds are quoted
344 to 1 ; Greek, 24 to ; and Turkish Consolidis,
471 to 48. Transactions are recorded as follows :-

The overdue Calcutta and China mails have ar-
rived at Alexandria, and maybe expected in London
on the Bth instant. The French mail, with ten days'
later news from Calcutta and China, has arrived
at Suez and may be expected on the 10th. The
following Calcutta, China, and Australian mails
have arrived at Suez, and may be expected on the
12th.—Extra Lundun and China Telegraph.

Fors o'CLocc

Consols are flat, at 91 to ex div., for money,
and 91i, ex div., for the account (Jan. 7). No
gold has been bought by the Bank, but 46,000
sovereigns have been withdrawn for exportation,
chiefly to Alexandria.
Yesterday being the last day of the year,
the discount market was extraordinarily active.
There was the usual disposition on the part
of mercantile firms to make their balances
as large as possible, apparently under the
delusive idea that bankers look into the
state of their customers' accounts only once or
twice a year. The joint stock banks being likewise
desirous of enlarging their balances at the Bank of
England at the turn of the year, the pressure has
been rendered general. Everybody recognises,
however, that it is merely, as it were, for the
day. Comparative ease is looked for as soon
as the mercantile engagements maturing in the first
week iu January, and especially on the 4th, shall
have been met, and the supply of money will be
materially increased by the payment of the divi-
dends, which will commence at the Bank of Eng-
land this day (Friday) week, the Bth January.

The following notifications, relating respectively
to the debts of New Granada, Mexico, and Vene-
zuela, have been forwarded to the Stock Exchange
by Meyers. Baring Brothers and Co. :
