MONEY MARKET.---(THIS DAY.) •

Two o'OLocK.

The funds remain steady, at the late improve-
ment. In the other stock markets business is falling
off, with the approach of the holidays. English rail-
way stocks are dull, and in some canes a fraction
lower. Foreign securities are generally well sup-
ported.

Consols are now quoted 921 to 1, ex div., both
for money and the account. The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 921, 4,1 ; ditto for account (Bth Jan.),
921 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 924, 1 ; New Three
per Cents., 921, 4 ; Bank Stock, 2334, 234, 232 ; India
Five per Cent. Stock, 1081, 1074 ; ditto Four
per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1004 ; Five per
Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 1064, 4 ; ditto
Five-and-a-Half per Cent , 1124 ; and Exchequer
Bills, 145., 10s. prem.

The foreign stock market is rather quiet to-day,
and prices generally have not experienced any import-
ant change. Egyptian bonds of both issues are in de-
mand, and have improved. New Granada ex overdue
Coupons and Hectares are steady. Greek, on the
other hand, are lower, and Mexican and Spanish
Certificates not quite so firm. The Turkish Loan of
1854 and Consolidks are quoted the same as
yesterday, at 84 to 85 and 40;1 to 1 respectively.
The Loan of 1858 has igeproved per cent, being
quoted 701 to 71, while the scrip of 1862 ie rather
lower, at 31 to i prem. Venezuelan scrip is quoted
2 to 11 dis. ; • liloeSuguese, 4 to 1 prem. ;
and the New Peruvian Loan, 92 to 4.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian,
93, ex div.; Dutch Certificates, 1021 ; Egyptian
944, 951; ditto second issue, 94, 4, 931 ;
Greek, 161 ; ditto Coupons, 7 ; Mexican,
for account, 32d, 1 ; New Granada, ex overdue
Coupons and Hectares, 121 ; Portuguese, 1862,
481 ; ditto scrip, 4 premium ; Russian, 1862,

71*, 71, ; Venezuela, for account, 251, 25 ; ditto
1862, scrip, 2, 11 die.
FOUR o'CLocx.
Consols are still quoted 9n to ex div., both
for money and the account.

A remittance has been received from Guayaquil
of 7841. be. 10d., on account of the Ecuador divi-
dends.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have deter-
mined to close that establishment on Friday next,
the day after Christmas-day. It is understood that
a similar step will be adopted in most of the public
markets, including that for corn, and also in many
of the principal houses of business. The attend-
ance in the City on Saturday next is likewise ex-
pected to be small.
About 107,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
to-day.
We understand that the tender of the Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company for the conveyance of
the mails between Southampton and Brazil has
been accepted by government. The new contract
is for a period of seven years, and the previous sa-
tisfactory arrangements will be closely adhered to.
The whole of the tenders sent to government for
the West India mail service are believed to have
been rejected. Fresh tenders, however, are ex-1
pected to be invited.
Advice's received, via New York, announce that
the whole of the 200,0001. in specie and bullion, as
well as the cargo from Greytown, had been saved
from the wreck of the Royal Mail steamer Avon.
The cargo consisted chiefly of indiarubber, and baa
experienced but trilling injury from the water.
Little hope was entertained of saving the vessel.
The advises from Cape Town announce the wreck,
off Gouritz River, of the ship Melbourne, 1,100
tons, while on the voyage from Shanghai to Lon-
don. Her cargo was a very valuable one, including
778,228 lbs. of tea, and 744 bales of silk, besides
cotton, wool, spices, tobacco, .1:c. The vessel
was on the rocks, and nothing could be landed un-
less she broke up.
It appears that the London and Brazilian Bank
having successfully inaugurate' their establishment
at Rio, are now contemplating the formation of •
branch at Pernambuoo.

The traffic receipts on the Madras Railway Com-
pany's south-west line for the months of July, Au-
gust, and September last, have amounted to
13,885/., 14,4401., and 12,8141. for each month
respectively, making the total receipts 41,1391. for
the quarter upon 406 miles, against 26,4471. in the
same quarter of last year, upon an average of 238
miles open. The increase in receipts has been
14,6921., and in the length of line 168 miles.
The first annual meeting of the Commercial
Union Assurance Company is called for the 30th
December, when a dividend is to be declared.

A geneial meeting of the shareholders in the Bank
of London is convened for the 19th January.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Company have
announced payment in due course of the dividend
warrants falling due on the Ist of January on the
Venezuela Three and One-and-a-Half per Cent.
Bonds, at the rate of 2 per cent. on the former and
1 per cent. per annum on the latter, as agreed to
by the bondholders at a meeting held at the London
Tavern on the 20th June last ; also of the dividend
falling due at the game time on the Venezuela Six
per Cent. Certificates which have been issued for
arrears of interest on the Three and One-and-a-Half
per Cent. Bonds.
We are informed that the whole of the prelimi-
nary capital of the new Mode, Punjaub, and Delhi
Bank Corporation (Limited) has been paid up
within a few hundred pounds, viz., 31. per share on
25,000 shares, making an aggregate of 75,0001.
This result may be considered satisfactory, the
prospectus of the bank having been issued so
recently as the 4th instant.
The letters of allotment in the London and South
Western Bank were issued yesterday, and we learn
that it is the intention of the directors to commence
business forthwith.

London and Brazilian Bank Aimee were in re-
quest to-day, for account of a good elan of buyers,
and have risen to 6to prem. London and

There is very little business doing in the miaing
market to-day. and prices generally are without
change. East Caradon shares are quiet at 45
while North Boskear are in request,
at 42 to 44. in the Stock ' Exchange East Cara-
don shares have been dealt in at 45 ; Great South
Tolgus at ; North Crotty at 6} ; Wheal Led-
oott at 10 ; and Wheal Union at !Siam
Foreign and colonial mining have ex-
perienced no variation. Bon Accord are officially
marked ; Fast del key, 2 ; Santa Barbara, 1t ;
and United Mexicali, 6.
The prospectus of the Cape of Good Hope
Copper Miuiug Company (Limited) is issued.
The managers are Messrs. John Taylor and
Sons, and the undertaking, as a whole, is
very respectably constituted. The object is to
purchase from Messrs. Phillips, King, and Co.,
the present proprietors, some large tracts of land in
Namaqualand, comprising valuable copper mines,
and held at au almost nominal rent. It appears
that the properties in question extend over no less
than 202,940 acres, and that since the year 1855,
when the sales of ore at Swansea beeline consider-
able, mining operations have been attended with
considerable profit. Since 1853, 18,999 tons of
copper ore, realising 515,752/., and yielding
a profit of upwards of 115,0001., have been
sold in this country. The average price obtained
has been no less than 271. 3e. per ton. The concern
is now in full working order, but a tramway of
about 15 miles in length is contemplated. The
purchase money of the estates, buildings, machi-
nery, plant, stores, mineral rights, and the present
accumulations of inferior ores, is so arranged that
of the capital of 150,0001., nearly 77,0001. is to be
left for the working and development of the under-
taking.
A call of 2s. &I per share is to be paid on the
shares in the Victoria (London) Mining Company
by the 12th January.
At the Great North Downs meeting yesterday the
accounts, including the October cost and 2,00 W.
balance of purchase money, showed a debit
balance of 2,7191. 38. 10d. A cell of 10s. per share
was made.

WhealGrylls sold, on the 20th inst., 23 tons
3 cwt. and 5 lbs. of black tin, at 66/. 12s. 6d. per
ton, making an aggregate of 1,5191. is. 3d.
The East del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have
this day received advice@ from their superintendent,
Captain Wm. Treloar, dated Sahara, Nov. 12, in
which he says :—" Our works are progressing
satisfactorily, and so far as we have opened upon
the lodes the results, in the shape of samples, are
very encouraging ; indeed, if the lodes yield in the
stamps so favourably as in the samples, our most
sanguine expectations will be realised." He adds
that labourers were plentiful, and the supply of
timber sufficient.
