MONEY .111.41110 ET.

THUR./11)AT EVININO.
Commis opened at yesterday's depressed ran.te of
101 to a both for money and the account of the 9th
December, which was also the quotation current at
the official close, although cash purchases at one
time carried the price to 1011. After the official
hours, however, flatness prevailed, sellers offering at
101. The speech of the new French Emperor was
referred to as not being of a perfectly satisfactory
character, and as consequently explanatory of the
decline, but it does not appear that this explanation
is deserving of much attention. Late in the after-
noon, when most of the chief jobbers are absent, it
becomes an easy matter to cause a quotable change.
The government broker rene wed his investmcntsin Re-
duced Threes, purchasing at 100 Z and !. The official
business report is as follows:—Three per Cent.
Consols. for money, 1011, 101, 1.; ditto, for
account, 1011 'Huse per Cent. Reduced, 1,00.:,

1866, 61 11-16. India Stock, 277. South Sea
Stock, 1111.
Exchequer Bills, both June and March, remain
quoted 695. to 725. prem. India bonds command tiOs.
to 83s. prem.
In the forcigu house there was a rise in Granada
Deferred, Peruvian Deterred, and Dutch Stocks.
The advance in the lust-named debt was owing to
intelligence being received by telegraph that the
bill for the conversion of the Four per Cent. into a
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock had been defini-
tively brought forward. The measure is understood to
encounter strong opposition in tho Chambers, but it
is the general belief that it will be carried. Hol-
land will thus be merely. following the example set
by her neighbours, Belgium and France. Granada
Deferred reached 131, but left off about 121 to 131.
Surprise is expressed at the absence of a correspond-
ing movement in the so-called Active Debt of this
Republic, the bonds of which are receivable by the
government in purchase of public lands equally with
the Deferred. The active portion of the debt is
already entitled to arrear coupons to the amount of
41. 55., after deducting which the price is only equi-
valent to 18. The present nominal dividend is U.
per cent. ; next year it will be 1/. 2s. lid., and will
then increase k per cent. annually, till it becomes
a six per cent. stock. At present it is well known
no dividend whatever is paid. The list of sales is as
follows :—Austrian Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 83
(exchange, 10 florins per 12). Brazilian Old Five per
Cents. 1021 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,lBs2,

Cents., 104,1, 1. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 514;
ditto Passive (Converted), 6j; the Committee's
Certif., 31 per cent. In the scrip of the Turkish
Loan nothing was done, the prices being nominally
quoted 11 to 11 prem. In anothercolumn will befound
some important correspondence relative to this loan,
including the very discouraging letter from the
Foreign-office, to which reference was made two or
three days ago.
Monday next has been appointed settling day for
the shares of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway
Company.
Notice has been issued by Messrs. C. J. Hambro
and Son of the cancelment of bonds for 3,9001. of the
Danish Five per Cent. Loan of 1849, and of bonds to
tho amount of 4,200!. of the Loan of 1850. Bonds
for 4,8001. of the former and 4,500/. of the latter
loan have also just been drawn and are called in for
payment.
Wo have already drawn attention to a revival of
the demand for coin for shipment to Australia. The
I following shipments have taken place:—by the
Rookery for Adelaide, 30,000/. ; by the Middleton
for Hobart Town, 20,0001.; by the Honduras for the
same port, 50,0001. ; and by the Will Watch for
Port Philip 30,0001. The Duke of Northumberland
is also leaving for Port Philip with 72,5001. in gold
and 1,0901. in silver. The total value of these ex-
posts is 203,5001. all in coin.
Letters and papers were received in town to-day
from Port Adelaide to the 30th August, which con-
firm the accounts of the discovery of gold in that
colony, as exclusively announced in the Daily News
of tho 22nd November.

The bar silver forming the major part of the specie
cargo of La Plata, West India mail steamer, was at
length sold to-day, and realised Jo. 1 d. per ounce,
being a reduction of id., compared with the price at
which the last sales were effected. These supplies,
like previous arrivals of silver, were taken for ship-
ment to India. An impression prevails, however, in
well informed quarters, that the demand for the
eastern markets will not continue much longer.
There has again been an active demand this week
for the various classes of American securities, and
prices are well supported. Present quotations are
thus reported by Messrs. I). Bell, Son, and CO.
