MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocc.

The English stock market to-day has ruled very,
steady, and rather more firmness was shown in the
earlier part of the morning than fur the last day
or two. Stock continues to be absorbed by the
government broker, who has again operated in lte-
dared Threes, and the French news is considered a
shade more re-assuring as regards the prospect of
tranquillity being preserved. The chief move-
ment in the Stock Exchange to-day, how-
ever, is in the railway share market, which
is extraordinarily active, prices at one time, to use a
broker's expression, actually "running wild."
No announcement of any change has been made
from the Bank of England to-day, though some
people are still disposed to look to the result of each
weekly court of the directors with interest, in hopes
of a reduction in the raie of discount.

The account price of Consols was quoted ,1 higher
than yesterday at the commencement of business
this morning, viz., 981 to but the present rate is
identical both fur money and 11th Dec., at 984
to 1. 'I he official report includes: Three per Cent.
Consols Annuities, 934, 1-; ditto for Account, 982,4.
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, 973, 984971.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, 981,
99. Long Annuities, 7, 7 1-16. Annuities expiring
1859, 6 11-16, 1.
The market for the unfunded securities is pretty
well supported, at the advanced rates lately noticed.
Exchequer Bills rule at 535. to 568. prem., and In-
dia Bonds at 625. to 655. prem.
Few transactions are marked in the foreign in-
vestments to-day, the settling principally engaging
attention. Brazilian Bonds are well supported, and
encouragement has been afforded for some op era-
lions in Buenos Ayres Bonds at a higher figure.
This stock, however, is quickly affected by a
bomparatively small amount of business, the market
being very " narrow." Mexican are flat. The price
of Spanish Threes is well supported, but no business
has occurred in the so-called active portion I
of this debt. Much indignation is expressed I
with the exposure of the tricky attempts
of the Spanish government to " burke" the
new movement against the confiscation of one
half of the coupons by the offer of capitalising the
entire coupons of its chief promoters, on condition of
their using their influence with the holders here to
give up the contest, on the plea of the impracticabi;
' lity of their demands being acceded to
by the Spanish government. The circum-
stance ought scarcely to be regarded with surprise,
as it only illustrates the Spanish system.; but there
is not the less truth in the inquiries which we hear of
what faith can possibly be placed in an adminis-
tration that descends to such degrading chicanery ?
The official report of the morning's transactions is as
follows:—Austrian Bonds, Five per Cent., 731.
Brazilian Bonds, Five per Cent., Old, 931, ; ditto
New, 1829, 92. Buenos Ayres Bonds, 48. Dutch
Four per Cent. Certificates, 90,1, 1. Mexican Bonds,
234. Portuguese Bonds, Five per Cent. Converted,
35; ditto Four per Cents., 341, 331, 311. Spanish
Three per Cent. Bonds, 39:, 40.
There is very little doing in the Californian gold
shares to-day, and prices are scarcely changed. Pre-
sent rates are: Aguu Fria, 11 to 14 prem. West
Mariposa, par; Ave Muria, die to par. Nouveau
Monde, 4to 3 premium. Golden Mountain, k to
premium.
The railway traffic returns continue to present the
same features as noticed by us fur some weeks past,
a slight increase over the figures fur the same pc-1
riod of last year being presented in nearly-1
every instance, so that the returns must be
considered very satisfactory. The London and
North Western return for the last week
is 40,166/., against 39,6061. in the corresponding
week of 1850, being un increase of 5601. ; Midland,
21,1061., against 20,5291.—increase, 8771.; the Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 15,9231., against 14,9011.—
increase, 1,0221.; the London and South Western,
8,564/., against 7,6B9l.—increase, 875/.; the Great
Western, 14,3531., against 13,1371.—increa5e,1,21614
the York and North Midland, 7,6211.. against 7,1111.
—increase, 5131. ; the Bristol and Exeter, 3,770/.,
against 3,3111. increase 459/. ; the York,
/Newcastle, and Berwick, 13;1031., against
13,37 71.—increase, 261. ; the Great Northern,
10,390/., against 6,2l6l.—increase, 4,0811.; the North
Staffordshire, 5,1921., against 4,B44l.—increase, 318/. ;
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 6,4391.,
againts 6,o23l.—increase, 414/.
Yesterday being continuation day in the share
market, the preliminary arrangements were iu pro-
gram.
In the afternoon the following rates prevailed:—
London and North Westerns, to 4 continuation.
Great Westerns, 3 to 1 continuation.
Midlands, 1 to 3 continuation; no givers at 4.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 3 to 3-16 continuation.
York and Bervricks, 8 per cent. continu
York and North Midlands, 1-16 to 3-16 continua-
tion.

South Westerns, 4 to : continuation.
lirightons, I to 4 continuation.
Great Northerns, lenders to 1-32 continuation.
Oxford and Worcesters, 1-16 to continuation.
Caledonians, 1-16 to 3-16 continuation.
To-day the rates of "contango" rule as under:
London and North Western, to continuation.
Great Westerns, 1 to 1 continuation.
South Westerns, to per share continuation.
Midlands, 4to continuation.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, : to j continuation.

berons, 1-16 to continuation.
Yorks, tenders to 1-32 continuation.

Caledonians, 1-16 toe continuation.
The account proves a very heavy " bull" one, and,
owing to the above high rates of "continuation"
being demanded, money sales were in some instances
prompted, and induced a temporary feeling of flat-
ness in some descriptions, but from this the marked
has recovered. The chief operations this account
have been for parties in the country.
It is interesting to notice that the abundance of
money, and the demand for eligible investment,
which cannot be satisfied by the English govern-
ment stocks at their present high range, is now pro-
ducing a decided effect upon the markets for shares
in most of the great branches of business conducted
by joint-stock enterprise. Thus the preferable de-
scription of bank shares, dock shares, steam boat
shares, insurance shares, &c., all evince an upward
movement.

Prices of bank shares are very well supported with
a good amount of business offering, especially in
London and Westminster shares, which have rallied,
after showing a little weakness in the beginning of
the week. Australasia, Colonial, and Union of Lon-
don shares are all very firm. The sales reported are
as follows :—Australasia (inl. paid), 38i, 4; Colonial
(25/. paid), 101; London and Westminster (201.
eaid), 281. 29,,20, ; National Provincial of
England (33.. pain), 401 Oriental Bank (Anporit-
,
t ion :2;/. paid), 271; Union of Am,:rulia .'s:2.l/. paid),
35); Cnion of London (la paid), 15;, 1.

From the
Committee 9f Spanish 80ndh0i...,„
we have the following
Madrid, Nov. al, 18.51.
My dear Sir,—l have to thank you to: the communica-
thins contained in Mr. Collett's letter of the 13,h, and hope
that you will have come to a reciprocal satisfactory agree-
ment with Senor Rurrajo respecting the conversion, and
that the issuing of the committee's coupons certificates will
at a mercer less distant period facilitate the definitive set-
tlement of these sacred claims.—l remain, my dear sir,
your most obedient servant, DANIEL WEISWEILLEIL--
