To MM! EVIUMIIII.
There was a larger money business in the English
Stock Market to-day, but it consisted chiefly of reali-
sations, and thus, notwithstanding the active re-
sumption of purchases by the government broker,
who made investments both in Reduced Threes and
Consols, prices closed at a reduction. Consols ranged
between 1001 and 1001, the closing quotation being
1001 to 4 for money, and 1004 to 4 for the 9th De-
cember. The unsettled position of the Ministry was
referred to as having an unfavourable effect, and a
depressing influence is also exercised by the extraor-
dinary continuance of wet weather, which it is
feared will occasion much damage, and impede the
agricultural operations usual at this period of the
year ; but it is probable that no inconsiderable
Influence is also exercised by the settlement of the
heavy account in the foreign stock and railway
markets, which, added to the other requirements of
business, has caused a marked demand for money to.
day. Bank Stock participated in the prevalent
depression, receding to 221, and generally the
markets closed with an unfavourable appelrance.
The list of transactions in this department is thus
rendered:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 100?,
4, 4,a ; •ditto for account, 1004. Three per Cent.
Reduced, 904, 4,4, 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1024, 3, 21, 4, 4. Long Annuities, 1860,
6 7-16; ditto 30 years, 1859, 6 3-16,1. South Sea
Old Annuities, 981. Bank Stock, 222, 221.
Confirmation of our remarks as to the increased
demand for money is found in the decline in the un-
funded debt. Exchequer Bills fell 2a, the March
and June bills being equally quoted 70s, to 735.

In the Foreign Stock Market attention chiefly
centered in the settlement of the account. Accepting
the interpretation put by the Daily News on the
new revolution in Buenos Ayres, the dealers put the
price of Buenos Ayrean Bonds higher, and business
was done as high as 76, being a considerable rally
from the extreme depression of yesterday, or 72.
Mexican bonds wore also better, closing 254 to 2.
Turkish scrip commanded 21, to 21 prem., but closed
not so good. In Sardinian bonds there was a
further improvement, the price reaching 100. Sales
are thus marked :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents.,
11004. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 74, 734 • ditto

Notice was formally issued to-day" that the Stock
Exchange will be closed on Thursday.
The paying off of the special bonds of the Portu-
guese loan of 1823, guaranteed by the Brazilian
government, and amounting to 964,2501., will be
made by Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons, after
the 30th November.
The manufacturing house of Hermann Munder, of
Bremen, has stopped payment, with liabilities to the
amount of 100,000 thalers, whilst the assets are esti-
mated at some 70,000 thalers. The loss will fall
chiefly on houses in Hamburg, Bremen, and
WEI rfeld.

There was a fair amount of business transacted in
foreign bills to-day, and the exchanges on the whole
showed an upward tendency. In some cases this is
to bo partly accounted for by the reaction in the
price of silver, which has been sold Id. per ounce
below the top price lately established, a movement
quite in accordance with our expressed anticipa-
tion. The sales now making, however, cannot be
regarded as definitively constituting a reaction
in the price of this metal, as they consist chiefly of
ro-sales of the silver brought in by the last West
India steamer. An impression prevails that the
Indian demand is satisfied, but this rumour again, to
say the least, is premature. The large supplies
brought in by the Magdalena, and taken for export
to the Eastern markets, are being shipped with all
possible despatch, so that the Alexandria steamer,
which will leave Southampton on the 19th, will take
out a very largo sum. A considerable quantity will
also be despatched for the East by the Laurieston.
It is thus more accurate to say that there are no
further supplies on the market in first hands, and
the arrival of the next West India packet, which
will probably take place in two or three days, must
be awaited before it can be decided what additional
supplies of silver will find their way to the East.
Paris was done at the beginning of 'Change at
26.15 at short, and bills remained over at 25.20 and
23.40 for three months. Belgian places were quoted
25.40 te42l for three months, being a shade higher.
Amsterdam was also done higher than last post, at
11.18 foe three months, whilst in some oases business
was done at 11.181 i_for short 11.181 was the cur-
rent quotation. On Hamburg more bills were offered
than last post, and the rate was 13.61 to 7. Peters-
burg was in demand at 371 to 3d. Frankfort was
quoted 120 k to 1. Italian places remained the same
as last post. Vienna and Trieste are the only places
that show a lower tendency. Vienna was done as
low as 11.38, the quotation closing 11.40 to 42,1
whilst Trieste ruled at 11.42 to 44. In billion Spain
and Portugal there was no alteration.
The section of the Aix-la-Chapelle and Dusseldorf
Railway lyieg between Herzogenrath was opened

The Bank of Belgium is about to furnish funds for
