MONEY MARZET.-THIS DAY.

_
Two VOLocnc.
The English stock market today is dull, but the
decline in prices is scarcely 1 per cent. The opera-
tions are very scanty. Consols are quoted 881 to
t ex div. for the 10th of January. The Three
per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 881
to I; the New Three per Cents. at 89 to
891; Exchequer Bills at Bs. to Ss. dia. ; Exchequer
Bonds at 971 to 1 ; and Bank Stock at 205.
The foreign stock market is also dim. Some de-
eariptioas, including Spanish and Turkish, are ra-
ther lower. Turkish Six per Cents. have been
dealt in at 831; ditto New Four per Cent. Loan,
at n dim. ; Spanish Deferred Three per Cent s.,
at 211; ditto, Pisan Bonds at 7j to 71; Venezuela

Dafe;red at lit 1 Mexican at 19fto 1 ;and Granada
Active at lit.

Stock Exchange business oontinues greatly re-
stricted at present, pending the receipt of intelligence
from St. Petersburg. General opinion is deeidedly
adverse to the probability of peace, but the influen-
tial buyers, whose operations have of late formed so
remarkable a feature, maintain their position, and still
&Bird groat support to prices. At the semi time the
market is kept in check by the tightness of money,
by the prospect of considerable remittances of gold
for the Turkish loan and other purposes. and by the
of the period when the governments of
Virgral.thd and Francs an expected to announce new
loans of magnitude.
The report is gaining ground that considerable
support has been accorded in some parts of the Con-
tinent to the New Five per Cent. Russian Loan for
eight millions sterling. The pries at which the loan
has been given to contractors is understood to be 82
per cent. The opinion is universal, however, that
the patriotic resolution of the London Stock Ex-
change, refusing recognition of the loan, even after
the restoration of peace, will materially disturb the
calculations of subscribers. It is stated that Lord
Clarendon ordered the resolution adopted by the
Committee to be immediately forwarded for publica-
tion to every official agency of Great Britain on the
Continent.

411eretiie still inquiries for gold for exportation to
the Continent, with no adequate supply, apart from
the stock in the Bank of England.
The exchange at Bt. Petersburg on London is
maintained at 36d., owing probably to the hopes en-
tertained in the former city in connexion with the
Russian loan. _ _

The Born market yesterday was doll, at Monday's
EntThe supply of home grown awn is small.
. foreign arrivals in London this week have
been more ooneiderable, casprieing 10,490 qrs. of
wheat. 14.010 qv. of oats, and 2,700 seeks and 4,080
barrels of flour. Most of the recently arrived foreign
cargoes have been ordered into granary on importers'
account, in preference to selling at the reduced prices
now cement. _ _

The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 96th

Sydney, and to be ready to receive paseropre be-
tween the 4th and 11th of February.

totems weekly. The prospect's' finally intimates
that the number of shares reserved for distribution in
Ragland is " limited," and that a deposit of 11. par
share must be made upon application. Amongst the
sheets of the company we notice the name of Mee-
masers, and amongst the "managers in London
that of Mr. John Wilson.

ince 1844 by the dimontinuance of sundry bank-
note beam. The change effected in the Rank so-
coast may be briefly stated as follows :—ln the inns
department, on the one side, the "notes issued" are
raised from 24,439,5251. to 26,137,9861., whilst on the
other side the "other mourities," instead of 2,984 9001.,
become 3,459,9001. In the banking department the
"government securities" have declined from
10,264,3781. to 9,789,3781., whilst 476,0001.9 being
the difference between these sums, is added to the
notes unemployed.
Apart from this novel feature, the week's changes
are g lly rather favourable. The increase in
the coin and bullion is promoted by the influx of
payments from taxes. The Treasury balances, how-
ever, exhibit in increase of only 12,2091. This is the
most unfavourable feature of the return, oonsidering
the advanced period of the quarter. The large addl..
tion to the private deposits was probably due in great
measure to the payment to account of the Hon. East
India Company of 415,4001. by the East India Rail-
way Company. The augmentation in the private
securities indicates a continuance of the commercial
demand for money.
