COMMERCIAL AND MARI:ET.s.

Rii•LAN&—(THIS DAY.)
Only moderate supplies of English wheat were received
up to our market, to-day, ecestwies and by land carriage,
whilst the condition of the samples was inferior. Dry par-
cels moved off slowly, at last week's priced. All other
kinds were very dull, at, in most instances, a decline in
the quotations of la. per quarter.
With foreign wheat we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily, supplied. The amount of business doing is all
descriptions was limited, nevertheless previous rates were
supported.
. . . . _

The market was well supplied with both English and
foreign barley. Good sod line peacels sold steadily. at full
currencies. Otherwise the trade was beery at lata.ratot.
There was ler doing in malt ; yet last week's price. were
supported. The supply was tolerably extensive.
Oats, the supply of which was moderately good, moved off
steadily, at full quotations.
The few beans on the stands were taken off s:Jaly, at
last week's prices.
In peas very little was doing at late rates. The a'aow cal
samples was small._

The demand for flour was inactive at last week's quota- II
tions. The supply was only moderate.
Only 10 cargoes have been reported off coast, chiefly bar.
ley and maize. The transactions in wheat have
been very moderate. bfarianopoli has sold at 3ss. 6J.,

MONEY MARKET.-(TBIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocx.
Business in the Stock Exchange to-day is very
languid, as usual at this season of the year,
and the prices of some classes of public
securities have suffered a little in conse-
quence. Consols have declined 1-16 to
per cent., and two or three of the foreign stocks
are rather lower. Home railways are lower in "illy
a few cases, but the tone of the market is also dull.

The discount market is quiet to-day, and good
bills have been rather freely taken at 6 per cent.,
being I below the Bank minimum. There i very
little demand in the Stock Exchange fur .hurt
loans, and the rate is almost nominal at 5 per cent.
The Bank of Frankfort has reduced it- r. to of
discount from 5} too per cent.

At Paris to-day, aecordiug to Mr. Renter's tele-
gram, the Three per Ceut. Reuter were quoted
66fr. 10c., showing no variation.
Consols are now quoted 891 to 89k, ex div., for
money, and 89g, "sellers," ex dir., for the account
(Jan. 10). The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
89, ; ditto for account, 89k, c ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 88,k, k, ; New
Three per Cents., 88k, it, ; Bank Stuck,
239 ; India Five per Ceut. Stock, 103 k, 1021,
1031, 102 i; ditto Bonds, par ; and Exchequer
fis Is dis
•,• , • •

Foreign stocks are rather flat. Spanish Passive
Bonds have declined per out., and Turkish
of 1858 about 4, but, with these ex-
ceptions, prices are scarcely lower than on
Saturday. Coufederate Bonds have improved 1
per cent. Some of the present quotations are as
follows, viz, :—Greek, 221 to 23; Mexican, 29} to
1 ; Confederate, 59 to 61 ; Spanish Passive, 311
to 1 ; the Certificate., 131 to 141 ; Turkish
Bonds of 1858, 70 to 71 ; ditto 1862, 71
to 1 ; and the Consolida, 461 to 1, ex div.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Dutch T wo-
and-a-Half per Cents., 621 ; Danish Debenture
scrip, 1873.77, Prem. ; Egyptian, ; ditto
1864, 941 ; Greek, for account, 221 ; Italian, for
account, 641, 1 ; 2.laremmana Railway, 711,
Mexican, for account, 291, ; ditto 1864, 271 ;

Spanish Passive, for account, 314, 1 ; ditto Certi-
ficates, for account, 14 ; Turkish, 1854, for account,
88 ; ditto, 1858, fur account, 70 ; ditto, 1862,
711, 71 ; ditto for aecount, 711, 1 ; ditto, 1001.
Bonds, 711 ; Venezuela, 1864, 43.
Egyptian Loau scrip is quoted 3 to / prem. ;
Danubian, i dis. to par ; and Atlantic and Great
Western Railway Debentures, „to prem.
International Financial slaaree are now quoted
21 to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 91 'to 1
prem. ; General Credit, 21 to 3 prem. ;
Imperial and Mercantile Credit, 31 to g prem. ;
Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1 ; Ottoman Societal
Ginerale, 24 to prem. ; and Anglo-Egyptian
Bank, dia. to par.

Fous o'CLocc.

Consols are firmer, at 89 to I, ex div., for money,
and 89k, "buyers," for the account. 64,0901. in
gold has been taken to the Bank; no withdrawals
are reported.

The prospectus is just issued of a Monte-
videau European loan of 1,000,0001. sterling in six
per cent. bonds of 1001. each, offered at the price of
60 per cent. The dividends are payable in sterling
in London, and there is a sinking fund of 1 per
cent. per aunin. It appears that the legislature
and executive of the republic of Uruguay have
duly conferred power on Messrs Mada and Co., of
Monte Video, to convert 6,000,000 dole. (or
1,250,000/. sterling) of debentures of the internal
debt into a national debt stock represented by
six per cent. bonds, and to be issued in Europe
prior to the 31st instant. The present loan of
1,000,0001. sterling is the result of this authoriza-
tion, and forms, of course, the only external loan
of the State. Apart from the general revenues
of the republic, there is a special hypothecation
of customs and anchorage dues, estimated to pro-
duce 100,0001. a year, and which are to be paid
weekly to Mears. Matta and Co., and remitted by
them monthly to Messrs. Made, McGregor and
Co., of London, by whom applications for the pre-
sent loan are invited. The instalments are payable
as follows, viz. :-5 per cent. on application, 10 per
cent. on allotment, 16 per cent. on the 30th Ja-
nuary, 15 per cent. on the 28th February, and 15
per cent. on the 31st March. Six per cent. discount
is to be allowed on payments in full in ►nticipsion.
The brokers are Messrs. P. Cazenove and Co.

About 55,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
on Saturday, while 25,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn fur Alexandria.

The amount of government bills on India for
which tenders will be received at the Bank of Eng-
land ou the 21st inst. will be rupee.' 35,00,000
(350,0001.)
It may be useful to state, in settlement of certain
doubts on the subject, that the new stock of the
Loudon and North Western Railway does not come
iu for dividend during the current half year. The
increase of this company's receipts during the half
year ending the 30th June last was 200,0001., and
enabled the company to pay an increase at the rate
of one and a half per cent. per annum over the
dividend of the corresponding half year of 1803.
The increase of receipts for the current half year is
already nearly as much ; so that if the net profits
are proportionate to those of the last half year, a
very satisfactory dividend may be looked for.
The Imperial Ottoman Bank have notified that
an interim distribution, by way of interest up to
the 31st inst., of 10s. per share (the omit allowed
by the statutes), will be payable ou the 2nd January.
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of
the Union Bank of London will take place ou the
11th January.
A special general meeting of the East India
Financial Association (Limited) is called for the
20th inst., "for the purposes mentioned in • cir-
cular letter to the ahareholders."

A general meeting of the Indian Branch Railway
Company (Limited) is convened for the 16th inst.
The report of the directors of the Loudon and
Liverpool Hotel Company (Limited), to be pre-
sented on the 12th inst., states that the profits
during the past six mouths have been at the rate of
nearly 30 per cent. per annum, and recommends a
dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum.
With reference to the prospects of the iron trade,
u &fleeted by railway enterprise at home and
abroad, Rylaud's " Iran-trade Circular" has the
following :
The prospeite of the iron trade ought to be in the ascen-
dant. from the number of new railways (349) deposited at
the Board of Trade. The principal development of the
system will occur in Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire,
and the majority of the liner proposed are branch or loop
BINS for short distances in *anoxia. Many of than, of
course, are counter projects. Those nodertakee for Ireland
are more numerous thou usual, sad manifestly beyond the
means if not the aquiremests of that country. There is
one point satisfactory during the last six maths—that al-
though stereo may have fallen, traffics have certainly been
on the increase, sad railway property has unquestionably
attained to a greater intrinsic value. The time must come
when, all possible loops and branches having been made,
' engineers and lawyers will be compelled to rest, and the
shareholders may be thankful in the enjoyment of what
then most be a most advantageous monopoly of the high
road. From India we learn that the traffic on all railways
is already so large as to exceed the powers of the com-
panies in rolling stook to cam it, South America is now
about to avail herself of railways, a eeeesesioe for
spending two millions and • half on a railway is the Ar-
gsetine
Ceefedersey. from Cow:media to Mercedes, along the
river Uruguay, and between the provinces of Uruguay and
Brazil. having bees brought over to a highly respectable
house in this country ; and an regards the Central Pacific
Railroad, we learn from &Calibrate paper received by last

mail that Lug. cootracta have been entered into to furnish
provision to the labourersoo the lice, arid that preparations
an Wag made to pat a very large additional force of 0100
00 this work.

MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocw.
