MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY

The English stocks at the commencement of busi-
naill to-day were remarkably firm. Consols opened
at 96; to 1, being an advance of 1 on yesterday's
closing price. They moon advanced to 97, both for
money and the 12th inst., which was the highest
point of the day. At this period some extensive opera
tions on the part of speculators realising profits
checked their upward tendency, and threw a chill over
the buoyant spirit of the market, cauaieg them to
give way fraction after fraction until they were last
dons g 961, the lowest figure. They were offi-
cially narked for the doss 9G, to 2, both for
money and next Wednesday. The Three per Cent.
Redute3 opened at 951 and were next and last
intiked 931. The fact to which we drew attention
yesterday, that the New Three-and-a Quarter per
Cents. ate guaranteed the present rate of interest for
the net: four yearn, and 3 per cent., as the minimum
rate, for the following twenty years, brought this
stock much into favour, and caused a corresponding
advance in price; it was dealt in to some exti nt at
prices ranging from 964 to 97, the last transaction
being at 961. South Set Stock was done at 108;

The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 11 per
mille, which at the English mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.421 ; and the exchange at Paris on London, at
short, being 25.411, it follows that gold is 0.21 per
cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By last mail from Hamburg the price of gold is
43.7 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.11 ; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London, at short, being 13.114, it follows that gold
is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
hatters of the 27th November from Riga mention
the setting to,,r the frost in good earnest. The are i-
vale of limited were beginning to falloff. About 38,000
chetworts of sawing teed had been di-posed of and
shipped. The price obtained for superior was Or., and
for ordinary 7! to 71r. In crushing seed there was
no change. Fur delivery contracts had been made
at 22ir. Cash for 110-111 lbs. Wiesmar. The
quality varies very much, and thence arises
the large margin in the quotations. In
hemp seed a large contract businees had been done,
and 18 r., with 10 per cent. down, had been ac-
corded. All in first hands had been cleared off.
Hemp for delivery was firm at the last prices agreed
to. Flax was to be had something below the last
contract prices, at which the dealers appeared disposed
to engage. There was nothing doing in grain beyond
a email parcel of barley, 101 to 105 lbs., at 50 r.
Salt was neglected.
Letters from Breslau of the Ist state that a good
deal of business had been done in wool during the
last ten days at full prices. The wholesale dealers
and woolstaplers were the principal purchasers
at the following prices :—ltussian and Polish inferior
sorts at 40 to 35 dollars ; Gallician, fine, at 66 to 07
dollars; superior Silesian, single clip, at 88 to 102
dollars. Several large transactions had also taken
place in middle fine lambs wool, on English account,
at 72 to 80 dollars, and superior ditto at 90 to 100
dollars; fine leaks at 52 to 62. The two last descrip-
tions were bought principally for Belgian and French
accoun.. The total sales amounted to about 2,000
cwt., whilst the additions to the stock during the
same period did not exceed 400 cwt. The contracts
for the next clip hod been considerable, and many of
ti.e finest and most celebrated flocks have been nego-
tiated at prices fully equal to those obtained at the
last June fair, and in some cases a few dollars higher.
The principal I urchasers were from Vienna, Berlin,
Leipeig, and local speculators, with occasionally some
from England and the Rhine.
From Vienna and Pesth the accounts of the wool
markets are exceedingly favourable. At both places
a great deal had been done at full prices. The next
clip of the greater part of the large flocks in those]
districts Lad been contracted for, but the prices have
not transpired.
Advices from Smyrna have been received to-day up
to the 17th November. A considerable rise had taken
place in opium owing to a purchase of fifty-six
baskets for account of the Dutch company, at 105
to 1064 per chequi, equal to 13s. 3d. per lb., f.o.b.
Holders refused to accept these terms and demanded
108 to 110 p. per chtqcii. The stock was reduced to
150 baskets, and about 600 more of new and old were
expected from the interior. Madder roots to the ex-
tent of 1,800 bales had exchanged hands at 366.4 d. to
36a. 7d. per cwt. f.o.b.—for Bakke, and 349. 10d. to
355. 2d. for Giorde and Cayagick. The demand con-
tinued active and still higher prices were looked for.
The stock was 3,000 single boles. Valonea was also
expected to go higher, and the price of 65 piastres per
quintal was willingly paid. Yellow berries of good
quality had been taken to the extent c f 250 sacks at
prices equal to 61.12.. 9d. per cwt. f.o.b. ; one-half
was for England, and half for Trieste; stock, 400
quintals. Olive oil had declined in price to
192 p. per quintal, or 371. 10s. per ton
f. 0.13., owing to the unfavourable market advice.
