MONEY MAREEZ-7HIS DAY.

Two °Twin.
Further large purchases have been induced
in the English funds by the pacific rumours I
now current, and prices have to-day attained
a fresh rise of per cent. Consols for
money and the 6th December have ranged between
891 and 901, and are now quoted 90 to I. For the
10th of January the price is 94 to 1. The Three

. .
per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 88/ to 891;
the New Three per Costs. at 891 to I. Bank Stock
at 209 to 210; Exchequer Bills at 2s. to Bs. dis.; and

Exchequer Bonds at 98 to 1.
Turkish Six per Cents. have risen to 851 to 1 ;
the Four per Cents. at 21 to 21 din ; and Spanish '1
Deferred Three par Cents. to 21 to 1; Dutch Twe-I
and-a-Half per Cents. mark 64 ; Spanish Old Three
per Cents., 401; ditto, Passive Bonds 7 to 7k ; the
Committee's Certificates, 41 per cent.; Rrussiau Fur-
and-a-Half per Cents., 90; Sardinian, 831 ex. div. ;
Equador, 51; and Mexican, 191.
In consequence of the recent revival of the demand
for silver for India and China, the amount of specie
and bullion shipped on board the Indus is almost
unprecedented, being no less than 629,8631., of
which only 34,42 W. Is in gold, and the remaining
495,4341. entirely in silver. The particulars are
d, viz. : for Alexandria, gold, 13,5601.; for
Bombay, silver, 129,8451. ; for Ceylon, gold, 4,1001.;
for Madras, gold, 2601., and silver, 14,7261. ; for
Calcutta, silver. 236,6461. ; for Singapore, silver,
1,2501. ; for Hong Hong, silver, 40.4921., and gold,
16,6091.• for Canton, silver, 24,9201.; and for
Shanghae, silver, 47,5661. This vessel is to leave
Southampton for Alexandria this day (Tuesday).
The amount of specie brought in by the Magdalena
is less than was expected, being 876,773 dole., or
about 175,30 W., chiefly in silver. A cooducits, with
no less than 2,600,000 dole., or 520,0001., in silver,
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 6th November, too late
for the steamer. Unless some special opportunity
should present itself for despatching this large mass
of silver to St. Thomas', so as to catch the interme-
diate mail for England, it is not expected to reach
here until the beginning of January.
The further decline in the exchange at New York
on London, as reported in the advice@ received per
the Asia, is watched with some uneasiness.
The corn market yesterday was flat. Wheat ruled
Is. to 2e. per quarter below the reduced rates of last
Monday, but in many oases a clearance could net be
effected. Flour met with a very slow sale, and was
rather cheaper. The pacific rumours current render
holders more disposed to Nil. The supplies of home-
grown corn at market are also more liberal than at
any time since the harvest. The quntity of flour on
offer was likewise large. The arrieals of foreign
breadatuffs into London last week comprised 2,695
quarters of wheat, 135 of barley, 20,341 of oats, and
10,117 barrels of flour. The arrivals of floating car-
goes off the coast are limited, and few are now on
sale. At the same time there is little disposition to
purchase, and late rates are not quite maintained.
Most of the English and Irish markets held at the
close of last week were lower. At Paris the corn
market is inactive, and flour is rather cheaper. At
Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Breslau and Honig,-
berg, quietude prevails.
The tallow market is also declining, owing in part
to the rumours of negotiations.
The Committee of Investigation of the Eastern
Counties Railway Company request the attendsnce of
the shareholders at the adjourned meeting on Friday
next, at the Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of re-
ceiving and (if approved) adopting their report. The
labours of the committee certainly deans the grad.
tude and support of the proprietors.
The next general meeting of the London 7g:d-
-ata:l Bank proprietary is called for the 17th January.
The five retiring directors offer themselves for re-

election.
The receipts of the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 16th ult. were
12,0771. sterling, being at the rate of 601. 2s. pee
mile per week. against 7,4131., or 301. 15s. per miler
in the corresponding week of last year.
The directors of the Great Luxembourg Corn
have addressed a circular to the shareholders, appeal-
ing to them to take up their proportion of the new
'hares.
With reference to the position of the sugar mar-
ket, we extract the following remark. from the Me-
ader of Messrs. Truman and Rouse. The receipt of
7,000 tons of agar during the last month from the
Osadnent is ealenlated to have an unfavourable in-
See's' epee the Continental exchanges:
The apprehension which we ezpressed last smalls that
the advanced pdoes would put a cheek on coasamption, has

be equal to ten weeks* mosamptios, whereas three weeks
dam, with • largeryistual stock by 1,000 toes, we had sorely
ain weeks' oessamption. This serious falling off in the
lisiered has primarily operated naiad a continuance' of
high prime, as a farther ocemetim of wbieh free trade has
materially aided ; daring the past month we have 'mislead
7.000 time of sugar from various matinental ports—France,
Helloed, Belgium, and Hambarg have all oontributeci
their quota of supply, which. though small even in the
aggregate, has served to fill up a gap io oar colonial impor•

The value of sugar has fallen 10e. Der cwt. from the highest,

which will probably prevent any further esnatisiset of

high prises; bat es sugar is an article requiring a large
