MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY Evelio's.
The English stock market to-day was scarcely so
strong upon the whole, but there is little dimiutiorraf
the feeling of confidence. Consols were done u high
as 1011, but the closing quotation, and the one that
prevailed during the greater part of the day, wee
1014 to 1, both for money and the 9th Dec. The
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. stock was in demand,
and rose to 104. The purchase of the government
broker being the last investment of the week, was
confined to South Sea New Annuities, at 1001. The
list of business is as follows :—Three per Cent. Con-
sols, for money, 1011, 1,1, 4,1; ditto, for account,
1014, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1001, 4. Three-
andcs-Quarter per Cents., 103/, 104, 3j. 4. Loop
Annuities, 1860, 6 7-16, 1. South Sea New Annul.
ties, 1001. Bank Stock, 223.
Exchequer Bills are steadier. The March bills
maintain their price of 70s. to 73a. prem. The June
issue was also purchased at 738. prem., but left off at
yesterday's rate of 695. to 725. prem. India Bonds
command 80s. to 83s. prem.
The day's foreign rock business was not large.
Mexican Bonds attracted some attention, ranging
between 241 and 241, the latter being the last price
officially marked. The accounts from that unfortu-
nate Republic are of much the same complexion as
those received for come time past. The bondholders,
however, point to the fact that the revenue is stated
in the President's message to have increased by no
less than a million of dollars. The certificate issued
by the Spanish Bondholder's committee was again
lower, and the scrip of the Swedish and Turkish
loans was fiat. Bargains are marked as follows:
Brazilian New Four-and-a-Halt per Cents., 18,12, 97,
1. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 654, 664,
9.51; ditto Four per Cent. Cerfifs., 97. Danish Five
per Cent.. 1064. Equador Bonds, 6, 4. Granada

251; ditto Passive (Converted), 64; the Committee's
Certif., 34, 3, 31, per cent. Swedish Loan, 11 die. ;
Turkish Six per Cents., 21 prem.
Business in miscellaneous shares is more active
than for many months past. Shares of the Austra.
lien Agricultural Company were done to-day several
times at 1001., being a rise of some 30 per ceet. The
prices marked in tho official list, however, were only
76 and 73. This advance is owing to its being under-
stood that gold in considerable quantities
exists on the estates of this Company. Bank
of Australasia shares have been dealt in
'at7l to ; Bank of British North America, 60 ;
English, Scottish, and Australian Bank, 41 ; Lon-
don Chartered Bank of Australia, 4 ; Provincial
Bank of Ireland, 471 ; Royal Australian Banking
and Gold Importing, 1; Union Bank of Australia,

The Cornelia has arrived in the Downs from Syd-
ney, which port she left on the 9th July, with 5,078
ounces of gold, worth upwards of 20,0001. On the
other hand we have to record a shipment of 20,0001.
in gold and 1,0004 in silver, be the Sir William
Ffolkes, for Sydney and Port Philip; and 15,0001.
by the Renown, for Port Philip direct.
Another new undertaking was announced to-day
under the title of the "Tynemouth Dock and
Morpeth and Shields Direct Railway Company,"
with a capital of 300,0001., of which, it is stated,
120,0001. has already been taken up. The object is
the formation of deep water docks for the accommo-
dation of the trade of . the river Tyne, which up to
this time has been deprived of this advantage ; and
of a railway to run to Morpeth, a distance of 15
miles, with a short branch to the Duke of Portland's
coal field. A large portion of the company's profits
is expected to be derived from the cord traffic, offers
of which to a considerable extent have already been
made. The engineers are Messrs. Locke and Erring-
ton, and the directors state that eminent contractors
have offered to lease the railway and docks for 14
years from the completion of the works, at a minimum
rent of 5 per cent. per annum, with half profits
beyond this rate. This offer is to be submitted to
the shareholders within four months from the passing
of the company's act.
Telegraphic accounts from Vienna of Thursday
quote the new loan at 15-16 discount; the exchange
on London,. 11.28; and the price of gold, 221
premium.
The bullion market remains in :tau quo. The
silver by La Plata has not yet been sold; and,
indeed, is not yet deliverable.
There was but a trifling alteration in the market
for foreign exchanges to-day. Short Paris showed
an upward tendency, being done at 23.20 to 25.
Bills at three months' date, however, were scarcer,
and transacted at 25.40 to 424. Belgian places were
in demand at 25.40 to 424. Only a few bills were
offering on Amsterdam at 11.181, and this paper
leas in more request at 11.181 for three months, than
last poet. Short was dune at 11.161 to 17. There
was also a greater demand for Hamburg, which was
quoted a trifle lower, at 13.61 to 7. Frankfort was
generally transacted at 1191 to 120 for three months.
In other places there was no essential change.
The returns of the Bank of England for the week

There is no feature in these returns unusual at
this period of the lb aneial quarter. The inferences
to be drawn are all decidedly in favour of the trade
of the country.
