RAILIVAM

THIS DAY.

Two o'Cioci.

The share market still shows a decidedly rising
tendency. Business this morning has not been brisk,
but in nearly every instance higher rates have been
odd, and the market altogether looks very good.
Aberdecns, Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Midlands,
South Easterns, Great Northerns, and York and
North Midlands, besides many others, are very
buoyant.
The Eastern Counties receipts for the last week
show a fulling off of 2261. as compared with last year,
the amount being 13,3211. against 13,5471. in 1850.

MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoot.

The English stock market is well supported,
a further advance of 1 per cent. has been established
during the course of business this morning. The
transfer books of Consols shut to-day for the
dividend, re-opening on the 16th January. A num-
ber of money operations have consequently come
forward, and as purchasers have predominated, a
further stimulus has naturally been imparted. This
is " pay-day " in Consols, when the differences
arising out of the monthly account which
expired yesterday are brought to a liquidation, but
no difficulty seems to have been experienced in the
requisite arrangements.
Consols have been dealt in for cash at 971 to 981.
For the account of the 16th January they left off
yesterday afternoon at 974 to 98, and have to-day
advanced to 981 to 1„ at which the price is at pre-
sent maintained. The broker of the National Debt
Commissioners made a cash purchase in this
stock at 9t, and another in Reduced Threes
at 971. The following is the official business
report :—'lhree per Cent. Congeals, 97'-,-`„ 984, 971 ;

Exchequer Bills have rallied Is. to 48s. to Ms.
prem., India Bonds remaining unaltered at 58s. to
61s. There is rather more doing in these securities
to-day.
In the foreign stock market there is no large
amount of general business, but two or three
changer in prim have occurred. Speculators for
the rise in Mexican have appeared, and, with
some rather large purchases, the price has rallied
1 per cent. Sardinian Ponds have also risen to
about the same extent. Portuguese stocks opened
steady, but the new financial arrangement as pro-
jeeted by the ministry being generally regarded with
disfavour, a fall of two per cent. has since occurred.
The actual prices of the day's sales are as follows :
Brazilian Old Five per Ceut. small Bonds, 95.
Austrian Five 'per Cents., 81 (exchange fixed at
10 gu. per Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
89. Dutch 'I we-and-a-Half per Cents., 581. French

Cents., for Account, 201, ; ditto, Three per Cents.,
391 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 161.
In the market for American stocks there has been
rather more movement this week, the recurrence of
French disturbances having stimulated inquiries in
this department. l'riees, however, show little change.
The present quotations are thus reported by Messrs.
D. Bell, Son, and Co. :

The dollars brought in by the Dee, West India
steamer, were sold to-day at 4s. 11 per oz., being
the full advance lately established. They were chiefly
taken for shipment to India by the Alexandria
steamer, which it is expected will take out between
140,0001. sod 130,000!. value. The succeeding
steamer will, it is anticipated, take out for the same
quarter a further sum of 120,000!. or 130,000!., pur-
chases of the silver to arrive by the next West India
mail having already been effected. It will thus be
seen that a continued upward movement in the price
of this metal is extremely probable.
The traffic returns fur the last week on the under-
mentioned English lines of railway, as made up to
this day, arc as follows:
1851. 18.50.
London and North Western 34,636 £37,791

The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 171,3901., this year against 157,4081. in the
same week of 1830, the increase is shown to be
13,9821., or 81 per cent. The number of miles open
in 1851, was 3,892, and in 1850, 3,7781, being an
increase of 1131 miles, or 3 per cent. The aggre-
gate average return per mile per week was, in 1851,
441. Os. Bd., and in 1850, 41/. 13s. 2d., so that the dif-
ference remains in favour of the present year to the ex-
tent of 21. 7s. 6d. per mile. It would thus appear
that in place of a falling off during the winter
months, we are more likely to have a progressive in-
crease in the traffic, which may now be con-
sidered to have quite returned to the ordinary
channels of the season. Though still presenting an
increase, the South Eastern return does not con-
trast quite so favourably with last year's, a circum-
stance which is probably owing to the influence of
the new French revolution in temporarily checking
visits to the other side of the Channel. The Great
Northern return is assisted by the great cattle fair
at Spalding, but there have been no other occur-
rences of a character calculated to disturb the traffic
of the country.
The return per mile per week is subjoined :

SMITHFIELD MAItKET.—TIIIS DAY.
We have a large supply of Beasts, and several of very
good quality ; trade is exceedingly dull, and they cannot
all be sold, although there is a disposition to take lower
rates. There are but very few Sheep, and buyers are
equally scarce; the prices quoted are with difficulty main-
tained. Calves are plentiful; good ones make scarf as
much as of late, but middling ones are unsaleable. From
Germany and Holland there are 190 Beasts, 340 Sheep, and
194 Calves; Spain, 52 Beasts; 200 from Scotland; 100
Norfolk and Suffolk ; 700 Northern and Midland ; 200
Western; and 125 Milch Cows from the Home Counties.
