MONEY MARKET.
BATT/110AT EVIWING.
The same want of confidence in the firmness of
prices of the English stocks with which the market
closed yesterday was again apparent at the corn-'
meticement of business this morning. Consols opened'
at 961 to 1 for transfer ani the 12th inst., being a
decline of 1 from yesterday's closing. quotations. Alter
a while they touched 961, bat again receded to the
first prior, at which they remained for some time,
when just before the close they rallied, and were lot
marked 961. They closed offidally at 961, to 1 for
prompt and the 12th inst., and at 961 to 1 for the
opening January 16. The Three per Cent. Reduced
were first and last done at 951, the highest point;
but dating the day they marked 1 and 1. The New
Thrceondo-Quarter per Cents, were again in favour,
and a good deal of banners was done in them at prim; '
varying from 964 to 1, the higher figure showing the
last transaction'. They stood, however, during the
greater part of the day at 961.
Exchequer Bills of all sizes were done at the ad-
vance marked yesterday-Ms. and 545. pm. Long
Annuities exhibit no change in value; they were done
at 8 9-16 and 1; ditto. 30 years, 1859, 81; ditto,
30 years, 1860, 81. Bank Stock realised 2011 and
203. India Bonds, 86a. and 88s. ; ditto, under
1,0001...855. prem.
The business transacted in the foreign stock market
was much lees extensive than of late. Prices of most
deciriptions were taller lower, the decline, however,
being most marked in the speculative or "fancy"
stacks, especially in Spanish Actives, which fell 1 to
1 per cent. below yesterday's rates. The actual
transactions consist of:-Brazilian at 88. Chili=
Three per Cents. at 571. Danish Five per Cents.
at 99. Equador at 34. Grenada at 164 and 1.
Mexican (cx Jan. C0000n), for account, at 281, 4,
and 1. Peruvian Four per Cents., 1849, at 54'4, 4,

Venezuela at 294. Two-and-a-lialf per Cent. Dutch

at 834.
There hm been rather an increased demand for
money during the week, but we have not heard of
any having been placed on call at higher rates than
those previously current. On the Stock Exchange it
is not worth more than two per cent. Discounts
have been done at 21 "'per cent. for first class paper
under three months, and at 21 per cent. above three
months.

In joint stock bank shares the transactions of the
week consist only of the following. British North
American Bank (paid 501.) at 42 ; London and West-
minster (paid 201.), at 241 ; Union of London (paid
101.) at 12 and 114.
The dealings in dock shares were limited to the
Commercial Dock at 79, and the East Country
at 21.
The colonial wool soles now in progress are going
off with great spirit, and the result so far shows
that the July sale prices are more than restored.
The following is the amount of the precious metals
exported from London during the week ending the
6th inst.:-Gold bars, to Hamburg, 651 oz.; gold
dust, to Hamburg, 323 cz. ; silver coin, to Hamburg,
2,167 oz. ; to Rotterdam, 12,000 oz. ; to Dunkirk,
50,000 oz. ; to Belgium, 32,000 cz. ; silver bars, to
Hamburg, 2,467 tn.; to Dunkirk, 20,000 oz.; to Bel-
giuoi, 72,000 oz.
The iallway share market has been depressed in
tone during the week, and prices have only been
saved from a still further decline by the upward ten-
dency of the home funds. The closing prices of to-
day are lower than they were last Saturday, for
nearly every line on the list, with the exception of
South Eastern', Norfolk, Great North of England,
Eastern Counties, and one or two minor lines, which
show an improvement, whilst in London and South
Western there is no change. When the general cha-
racter of the share market during the week now
ended is taken into consideration, the firmness of the
prices manifested in the above lines may be regarded
as an evidence of increasing confidence in the present
management and future prospects of those under-
takings. The decline of about 21. per share which has
taken place in the London and North-Western
is genet ally ascribed to the report that the directors
propose to charge against revenue all expenditure, whe-
ther productive or not; upon which basis the Money
Market Examiner of to-day exhibits a statement,
showing that after paying a dividend of 5 per cent. per
per annum, there will remain a surplus of about 33,0001.
Thisdetermination if acted up to ought to,and we doubt
not will, strengthen the hands of the directors, in-
crease the confidence of the shareholders and the
public, and eventually give greater stability and
firmness to the stock. It is therefore to be hoped,
that it will operate as in encouragement to the direc-
tors of ether companies to follow so desirable an ex-
ample and deal honestly with the public.

The rumours of a misunderstanding with • great
northern power, which affected the borne fends on
Saturday and caused them to decline, were re-
garded this morning as visionary and unworthy of the
least credit. The English stocks therefore have reached
the highest point yet attained, and the market gives
every indication of a further improvement. Consols
opened at 961 to a, from whi:h they suddenly rose to
971, without any intervening fraction, and are now

Our market was but moderately supplied this morning o
with Wheat, by land, carriage samples from the near coon- ea
ties nor was the qutity on offer from rts on the east 20
coat so large at of late; nevertheless, it proved,fully equal „,..10 '
to the demand. White Wheat was taken pretty freely 17
by the millers at the rates of this day week: but 13
red was not so easily disposed of, but cannot be quoted 121
cheaper. Old foreign Wheat was in rather more request, 19
and fully as dear; but new wee next to unsaleable. There 50
was very little fine malting Barley at market, and r,„
its value was tine t red. &eon& ry and inferior qua or
Idles of English and foreign were Is. per qr. cheaper. u
There have not been many fresh arrivals of Oats since S
Friday, and all good qualities sold quite as well as last st

SOUTHWARK POTATO MARKET, DEC. 10. SS
The arrivals from the Continent are so large, that lees _

The number of: Beasts is considerably lees than of late; Is

more than our top quotations are realised. The supply of

demand is generally effected. Calves being scarce, are $0

is rather improved for Pigs. From Slummy and Holland
there are 468 Beasts, 1,860 Sheep, and 66 Calves ; and from

for inferior meat of all kinds, and several plain Beasts re-
