MO.V HY MARKET.

TlllB DAY.

Two oCLocK.

The general feeling in the English stock market
to-day is a shade steadier than on Saturday, and
prices have rallied to the extent of an eighth per
cent. ; but speculators appear undecided, and the
operations nre not extensive. Considerations con-
nected with the present position of the country being
generally in favour of the market, and the abundance
of money being another encouraging circumstance,
the chief source of anxiety is the course of French
affairs, and to this quarter the attention of all city
men is earnestly directed.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 951, to 96,
arc to-day quoted 96 to with a quiet appearance.,
The optional business report includes : Three per
Cent. Consols. 964 ; ditto for Account, 96!, 96. Three
per Cents. Reduced, 961, Z. New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 98, L. Long Annuities, 1800,
7, 1-16. India Stock, 261. Bank Stock, 216.
The unfunded securities are quiet, with not much
demand. Exchequer-bills remain at the reduction
of Is. noticed on Saturday, ruling at 5,15. to
premium. India bonds have been dealt in at 695.,
685., and 7'2a. premium.
In the foreign stock market no great alteration is
to be noticed, but there is an indisposition to enter
upon speculative operations of magnitude, and the
business is consequently chiefly confined to the
transactions arising out of the dividend period. Mexi-
can Bonds remain quiet at 29.4 toy. The intelligence
relative to the progress of the revolutionary move-
ment in the northern provinces of the republic is, as
usual, contradictory, but it appears certain that the
movement is yet far from being crushed. Mean-
while the finances of the state, already in a wretched
condition, must be further affected by the prepara-
tions requisite to keep it in check. To-day's sales arc
recorded as follows : Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 92i. Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 93, 4;
ditto Five per Cent-. (Rothschild's), 94. Chilian Six
per Cents., 101. Danish Three per Cents., 1825.

pool to the amount of 123,000/. sterling, by the Africa
from New York.

The Bank of France returns for the week ending
Thursday, the 22nd of January, show the following
results (23 francs for 11.) :
Bullion £22,804,281 Increase £223,037
Bullion on deposit 161,0.16 Deereae 3,600
Circulation
I'ublic deposits 2,879,204 Increase .... 237,613
I'risate deposits 6,816,:,94 Decrease 276,524
Bills discounted 6,108,538 Decrease , 373,824
Government securities 9,096,360 Decrease 49,412

Much interest attaches to every return of this esta-
blishment, from the insight thus afforded into the
commercial operations of the country, and the finan-
cial position of the treasury, at a time when the ac-
quisition of accurate information is surrounded by
almost insurmountable official impediments. A dimi-
nution in the discounts is not out of the regular
course at this season, but in the above re-
turn the falling off is extraordinarily large,
and, when taken in combination with the similar
tenor of other items of the account, may be regarded
as affording evidence of a sensible check having been
given to trading enterprise by the arbitrary enact-
ments of the new government. The support given
to the Paris bourse by the direct operation of the
Bank would appear to be now suspended, the item
of "government securities" being left at tho high
range of nine millions sterling, or two millions in
excess of the amount at the corresponding period of
1851. Simultaneously with this withdrawal of direct
interference with tho COUIWC of prices, the bourse has
shown marked weakness, although the police relinte,
as shown in our correspondent's letters, is in full
force, all "disseminators of injurious intelligence"—
or, in other words, speculators for a fall—being
peremptorily interdicted from operating, under
penalty of being forthwith transferred to the l'refee•
tore of Police.

The imports of specie this week comprise 27,000
dots. by the Canada, and 700,000 dots. by the l'acific,
both from New York ; and 1,331,6K0 dols. by the
Clyde, from the West Indies. The particulars of this
last arrival arc as follows :—Specie, bullion and gold
dust from the I'acific ports, 783,321 dots. ; ditto from
California. 265,141 dols.; from Carthagenu. 77,261
dols.; from Jamaica, 16,113 dole.; from Havana,
11,050 dots.; from other parts of the West Indies,
198,794 dols. The total value of the week's imports
may be taken at 430,0001. There have been no arri-
vals of gold from Australia this week.

The continental demand on our stock of silver has II
again been sensibly felt this week, the exports of this
metal from London amounting to 420,112 ounces, et'
which 370,270 oz. were in coin, and the rest in
bars. The official return for the week ending Thurs-
day last, is as follows:—Silver coma to Rotterdam,
265,000 oz. ; to Belgium, 105,000 oz.; to Boulogne,
270 oz. Silver bars—to Hamburg, 6,872 oz.; to
Rotterdam, 40,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 2,9711 oz. Of
gold the shipments comprised only 47 oz. in dust to
Hamburg. The total value of these exports is
rather more than 105,000!. Last week we had occa-
sion to notice the shipment of 40,0001. in gold to
Hobart Town. Them can be little doubt that this
sum was in sovereigns, and connected with the re-
quirements of the government.
The other exports comprise 25,5001. by the Dee,
distributed as follows :—To Jacmel, in bar gold,
1,0001. ; to Nevis, silver, 50/. ; to Carthagena, silver,
400/. ; to St. Thomas's, gold and silver, 12,881/. ; to
liarbadoes, silver, 3,6001.; to Trinidad, silver, 3,5181.;
to Montserrat, silver, 50/. ;to Santa Martha, silver,
3,520!.; to Oreytown, gold, 480/. The licntiuck also
took out specie to the value of 331,700/.. chiefly in
silver, and destined for the following places :—To
Bombay, 81,0001. ; to Ceylon, gold, 7,40 W. ; to Ma-
dras, .1,100/. ;to Calcutta, 215,000/. ;to Singapore,
9,800/. ; to Hong Kong, 2,400/. ; to Alexandria,
gold, 12,000/. The total exports of the week from
the kingdom arc thus raised to 462,n00/. It is a
long time since the balance,as mad: up by us weekly.
between imports and exports, has been in favour of
the latter.

An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United Kingdom for the last week, published by
licropoth's Journal, shows the total receipts on
6,520 miles to be 236,0031., being at the rate
of 36!. per mile per week. For the corresponding
week of 1851, the amount was 225,6.55 t. on 0,20
miles, or also 36/. per mile per week. There is thus
an increase in the aggregate receipts of 10.395!., or
4.67 per cent., and an increase in the mileage of 251
miles, or 4 per cent., the return per mile per week being
about the same in both years. The Raihray noes
estimates the total receipts biome the Ist of January
at 672,5441., which, on 6,407 miles, gives an average
of 1041. 108. 4/d. per mile; and as the amount for
the corresponding week of last year was 666,037/.
