MONEY MAREET.

SATURDAY ETZKINO.
The English stock market to-day showed much
firmness, and prioss gradually crept up during the
whole of the afternoon. In spite of the official

confirmation that hostilities on an extensive scale
have been renewed on the Danube, and notwith-
standing the circulation of unfavourable reports
relative to the attitude of Austria and Prune, the
market finally closed at its best point, which repre-
sents a rise of fully j per cent. on the closing range
of yesterday. The market is strengthened by the
arrangements now in progress for the settlement of
the Consol account, which to-day seamed to indi-
cate the existence of a more decided ontstanding
speenlation for the fall. The upward movement was
also assisted by the receipt of considerably higher
prices from to-day's Paris bourse, and by intellipmes
of a rally on most of the other leading °outlands'
markets. Money in the Stook Exchange was in
iscreatiog demand, at about Si per cent., owing
chiefly to the settlement.

Consols opened at 92k to 93, advanced to 931 to 1,
receded to 93 to /, and were quoted at three o'clock
931 to ex div. for Wednesday. After that hour
the price touched for a moment 931 to a, and was
last quoted 93 to 1. The rate of carrying over to
February ruled generally at "even to 1-16 con-
tango," tea jobbers being lenders of stock at " even,"
aid "takes in" at 1-16 " contango." The official
hiss rivet is as follows ;—Three per Cent.
Clanels, for mosey, 921, 931, 93, 1 ex div. ; do.

The Stock Exchange wu kept open till half-past
four this afternoon, by special resolution of the com-
mittee, with a view to facilitate the settling now in
Prlrein the several departments.
requer Bills closed ls. higher than yesterday,
at ea. to lls. prem. India Bonds were quoted par Os'
4s. prem.
The foreign stock market wu quiet, and pre.~
seated no important change in prices. At 4 &cask

oaten., 94/. Granada Deferred Bonds, 71, 7,

The directors of the South Sea Company have
acceded to the expressed wish of the stockholders,
and have reduced to 3 per cent. their charge for
making advances, at the rate of 100 per cent., on the
security of South Sea Stock, for any period not ex-
ceeding three months.
The imports of the precious metals this week have
been comparatively small. Our list includes : 49,2911
ounces of ggoold
bthe Ambrosine, from Geelong;
362,759 do a. by the Asia, from New York ; 11,0001.
worth of gold by the Forerunner, from Africa; and
6,000 dole. in specie by the Lady Eglinton, from the i
Brazil& The total value of these arrivals may be
stated at about 280,0001. The Custom-house state-
meat also records the import of one box and one bag
of bullion, by the Rhine, from Antwerp; two bags
of coin by the Caledonia, from Gluckstadt ; and 37
bags of silver ore by the Texian, from Central
America.

The exports appear also to have been limited. The
Custom-house statement of the shipments of the
precious metals direct from London, during the week
ending Thurday last, includes only 2,000 ounces of
gold bare, and 600 ounces of gold coin, shipped to
Belgium. The value of this :s under 9,0001. No
silver is returned as having been shipped.
The other shipments reported to uscomprise2B,oool.,
chiefly in silver, for Calcutta and the Mauritius, by the
General Screw Steam Shipping Company's steamer
Mauritius ; 282,000 dots. by the Margaret steamer
from Liverpool, for Havre (being part of the specie
brought in by the Asia from New York); 4761. in
English gold coin (besides 5,7001. in jewel-
lery) by the Great Western for the Brazils;
and, 25,1001., by the Tagus, for Lisbon.
The total ascertained shipments for the week are
thus raised to about 120,0001. The gold brought in
by the Walter Hood, Francis Haute, and Ambroaine,
amounting altogether to about 600,0001., became deli-
verable in London this week, and of this a large
proportion is known to have been shipped abroad in
private hands, whilst the residue 'Juts-been sent into
the Bank.
The tallow market, which on Monday experienced
so marked a rise, and in the middle of the week
showed decided &twos., again advanced to-day about
9d. per cwt., on a more warlike reading of the
Eastern news. The closing price of Russian this
afternoon was 60s. 9d., " buyers," on the spot, and
61s. 6d., " buyers," for delivery in March and April.
The fifth call of 11., making 81. paid up, falls pay-
able on the shares of the Antwerp and Rotterdam
Railway on the 16th February.
The final call upon the shares of the London, Til-
bury, and Southend Extension Railway has been post-
poned until further notice.
Land shares to-day were fairly supported. Bank
'hares were firm, and those of the Bank of Ans-
.
trams and Oriental Bank rose 11. per share. In
other stocks of a miscellaneous character there was
little feature. . .

Annexed are the latest reports from continental
bourses,u received by Mr.Reuter's telegraphic express
Amsterdam, Friday, closing prices:—Dutch Four
per Cents., 911; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,

change is lees favourable to this country.
So mach importance attached at present to the
question of the supply of guano that the subjoined ex-
tract from the Gorrkner's Chronicle of this day may
be interesting :
rlehenz aso mesh* ie cloud There is not toe in the
of the peat importers, and the agents of the
Peruvian gemrenmen ere compelled to decline all orders

till farther supplies shall arrive from the Pacific. People
naturally inquire how this has come to paw. Are the
Ch'ache Islands, and the Lobos, and all the other deposits,
exhausted I Or us the Americans running off with this
valuable sublimes / Nothing of the kind. The explana-
tion we understand to be that notwithstandiag a moet unu-
sual provision made by the importers to satisfy the demand
here, that demand hu increased so enormously as to baffle
all calculation. Nearly three times the quantity consumed
In 1862 Ina been bought in 1853.
We believe we are not far wrong when we set the sales of
game, during the lut eight years, at something very near
the following quantities :
1846, from June to December 24,600 tons.

Ups. tai n s lave no comment to make ; no one could
I have oniteipaessil a deficiency of supply when considerably
' above NMI Mee were provided to meet a demand which
bed stew emeseiei fie,ooo tons. Whether it is that the
&eel et • vie lapin Me eland consumers and dealers
to lay to twiee abets nasal stock, or whether Admiral
Moresby's report has led to the belief in an approaching
scarcity, which we believe to be a gronndlem appreheip
sloe, we do not know ; but the following ramp ill a
circular now before us, Limed by the Peruvian agents,
seems to indicate that the former is believed by them to
be the tame cause of the unexpected demand which has
arisen.

-7fie are inclined," say Messrs. A. Gibbs and Co., "to
think that most of oar friends have forestalled their de-
mends, and thus thrown a large portion of our orders in the
earlier arrivals, instead of spreading them over the whole
season ; but as we cannot execute them, we must decline
any new orders, at all events, till we see more clearly what
the course of the business may be during the spring, and in
how far the large orders we have already executed have
forestalled the demand which usually occurs later in the
season."
For ourselves, we leen to the opinion that there are no
great holders of guano, and that the demand has arisen
from nothing more than the improved condition of the agri-
cultural Interest, and from an increased conviction of the
sterling value of a manure formed of fish that have been
digested by sea-birds.
