The market for silver remains dull, and prime are
at present little more than nominal, holden being
unwilling to accept the reduced rata now offered.
Until the arrival of the next telegraphic advioss from

faversrable, laseaseh as the withdrawal of silver from

this side in paymnt

MONDAY ITICIMIII.

The micas Stock Exchange markets to-day ex-
hibited an unfavourable reaction, owing chiefly to
realisations by meet speculative boyars. Consols
fell se much as per omit. this morning, upon sales
by parties who had purehaind in aatieipation of the
didactics of the half-yearly dividend. The feeling of
the market in the afternoon wee :steadier. but the
Mooing quotations were still 1 per cons below those
of Saturday. The loading railway stooks have
declined 1 to 1 par ant.; Preach shame fell
10a to 15e. per share, owing to the receipt
of somewhat lower prime from Paris ; the
securities of certain other continental lines,
Oleic have of late met with considerable speck-
led,. inqairy, showed sudden weakness; whilst
Tarkieh Six pm Coats. emanated violently, finally
elonag at a redaction of more than 1 par cent.
There was a disposition on the part of specalators fee
the fall to extract grounds of uneasiness from the
statement that the Paris Conferences are about to be
reopened. Meanwhile, the immediate aspect of the
money market is rather reassuring than otherwise-
As Christmas approaches, an exceptional and tempo-
rary increase of demand is to be looked for; but to-
day the market was decidedly quiet, and in all
quarters the rates for first-class paper were below
than of the Bank. We also notice the satisfactory
feature of an increased vainness oa the part of dis-
counters to negotiate long-dated paper. In the
Stock Exchange to-day, loans from day to day were
obtainable on government securities at the moderate
rate of 8 per cent.; but this is partly due to the cir-
emustance that money le not generally wanted in the
home until the next settlement, which, as model
shares and foreign stooks, I. fixed for the 16th inst.
Consols, whisk closed on Saturday at 94 to lex
div. for the Bth January, opened this morning rather
flatly at 94 exactly, fell to 931 to f, and were last
quoted 931 to 1. Although the Usurer books for
Consols are shut, there are still a few exceptional
transactions for money. The dada bunnies report
le as follows:—Three per Cent. Cocoon, for money
(shat), 941. 941. with div.; ditto, for soomint, Bth
931. 94. 931,93 t ex div. Three per Cent. Re-
duced, 931, 1. New Three per Cents.. 94, 944,
94. India block, 227. Bank Stock, 2181. Exche-
quer Bonds, falling payable in 1888,981, 99. India
Bonds, 24. prem.
Exchequer Bills declined Is. to 25., closing at 41.
to Ta. prem. Exchequer Bonds remain study, at 991
to 99.

In the foreign stock market the chief feature was
a considerable fall in Turkish Six per Cents. This
stock, which closed on Saturday at 961 to was
pressed for sale this morning as low as IMI, and had
rallied at the elose to to 96/, showing a Indus.
