TOISDLY Bvsrriwo.

The English fonds opened this morning at an un-
favourable reaction, but, on a renewal of speculative
purchases by the influential buyers, whose operations
sassed the sudden rise of yesterday afternoon, a
'harked upward movement set in, and was fully
'maintained to the close. The market finally left off
# per cent. higher than yesterday, with a strong
appearance. These purchases are presumed to be
based upon an idea that the suspension of warlike
operations daring the ooming winter will be
taken advantage of by the German Powers
for a renewed attempt at the establishment of a
basis of agreement for paw. The rise ham been
facilitated by the dairy of operators for a fall to
cover their previous males. An advance on to-day's
Paris Bourse, whore a similar speculative movement
is in progress, operated in the same direction. An
itscrease in the demand for money in the Stock F.:-
change, under the influence of which 43 and even 6
per cent. wee freely paid for loans on government
asperities, had no counteracting effect, being regarded
as temporary and induced by the instalment of 10 per
ant. which fell doe to-day upon the 16,000,0001. loan.
To-day's rise in silver, and downward tendency of
time continental exchanges, however, must be enu-
merated on the unfavourable side. The buoyancy of
the Camel market imported increased strength to
every other department of the Stock Exchange.
Is Lotnbaa.street money continues to find full
employment, but the demand to-day was chiefly for
the Stock Exchange, the members of which hold
the bulk of the outstanding "Consol scrip" of tim-
bre&
Consols for the 6th Dec. were first marked 881,
and rose with little reaction to 881 to 89, the closing
quotation. For money the final price was 883 to 1.
The day's business altogether was of a more important
eiseeeter than for some time past. The official
beim report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Osusele, for motley, sag,BB, sot, 3 1,1) ditto. for ao-

The market for Exchequer Bills remains very
heavy. After falling to 12s. to Bs. die., the price
aimed at 101. to 6s. dia.
In the foreign stock market there was little move-
meat, except in Turkish securities, purchases of
which were induced by the rise in Consols.
At the sales of sugar to-day, Mauritius and grainy
Bengal were chiefly sold at a fall of about 2s. to 3s.
par wt. from the highest point, the remainder having
bees bought in. There were not any public sales of
ecdbe, but privately some inquiry was experienced
for the plantation kinds of Ceylon. Rio continues
to meet with a very large business, and still shows
• an upward tendency.
