MONEY MARKET.
THIS DAY.

Two ()Times.

Arrangements for the settlement of to-morrow's
account in Consols have attracted some attention
to-day, but they have not imparted any activity to
the market, or induced any variation in prices.
The dealers generally display confidence in the sta-
bility of quotations, which will be supported during
the quarter upon which we have just entered, by the
investment of a sum of 758,196 L, on account of the
Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt.
The Europa has not brought over so large a quan-
tity of specie as was expected, the amount being only
10,400 dollars; but we arc this morning advised of
the arrival of 60,000/. in specie, at Southampton,
by the Jupiter steamer, and further sup-
plies are also looked for from Russia.
Some people had anticipated very unfavourable ac-
counts from New York, and the news has cows..
quently been looked to with much anxiety, but gene-
rally the impression produced appears to be rather
favourable than otherwise, as no more largo
failures had occurred, and the banks were
strengthening themselves with the continued receipts
from California, the drain from shipments to this
side being at the same time diminished, whilst mer-
cantile men were doing their utmost to contract
their liabililics. With various considerations of
la favourable character coming daily into stronger
I operation on the money market, it was hoped that
II the inconvenience resulting trom the pressure would
be much alleviated.

Consols opened at 901 to both for money and to-
morrow, being Saturday's rate, and have not varied
except for a moment, when•they were buyers at 981.
For the November account the quotation is 961 to 97.
The other stocks continue to be dealt in by special
transfer. The official business report embraces the
following :—Threo per Cent. Consols, J 6;, ; ditto
for account, 961, ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 96, ;
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971 i, 1. Bank
Stock, 2111, 2121 ; India Stock, 282.
The unfunded securities are still inquired for, and
looking up. Ihe bulk of the business in Exchequer
Bills this morning has been done at 4(s. to 49s.prem.,
but they have since advanced another shilling, pur-
chases having been made at als. prem. India Bonds
rule at the improved quotation of .51s. to Zffis. prcm.
Business in the foreign stocks is very restricted,
quotations remaining much the same as last week.
The advices by the Europa do not appear to affind
any trustworthy intelligence from Mexico, as
some accounts represent the country as gene-
rally tranquil, whilst others report the extension
of the insurrectionary movement in the northern
provinces. However the bonds to-day are worse,
having receded to 26t. The day's business list is as
follows: Brazilian New Five per Cents., 1829 and
39, 841. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 901, 91
ex div. Grenada Deferred, 31. Mexican for account,
17th October, 27, 261; ditto small, 271. Peruvian
Five per Cents., 1819, 88 ex div. Russian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Sardinian Five per
Cents., 63, 821; ditto Scrip, 11 dis.

SA IT:ZDAT EVENING.
The rates for money on deposit and for discount
remain the same as before, and there is every
prospect that no immediate change will take place,
though a large amount will after the approaching
week be floating about for some time. Although in
particular quarters a great want of accommodation is
felt, the general rates for first class securities are un-
affcted. As yet the course of investment is in pay-
ing foreign stocks, and in railway guarantee and
preference shares, which latter are certainly coming
more into demand, and are in some instances scarce.

The prices of these stocks nre ulrea4sutlit;;;ly
high, and us there is no temptation to touch the
foreign speculative stocks, and Consuls arc high, it is
probable a demand for ordinary railway shares will
take place. There are no heavy calls for any pur-
pose now in operation.

The total imports are about 370,0004
The total amount of the previous metals ex-
ported direct from London during the week ending
Thursday last, we learn from official solaces,
was as follows :—Gold coin : to Hamburg, 409 oz.;
to Havre, 30 oz. Silver coin : to Rotterdam, 19,000
oz.; to Boulogne, 7,900 oz. Silver bars : to Belgium,
13,000 oz. 1 his gives a total export for the week of
only 430 oz. of gold and 41,900 oz. of silver, of the
aggregate value of about 12,1004, being a smaller
export front the port of London than for a very long
time past.
The exports further include 113,0004 from South-
ampton by the Teviot for the Brazils.
An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the
United kingdom fur the last week, published by
Herapatles Arrenal, shows the total receipts on
6,232 miles to be 328,026/., or at the rate of 32/. 10a.
per mile per week. In the corresponding week of
last year the amount was 279,383/. on 6,171 miles,
being at the rate of 43!. 3s. per mile per week.
There is thus an increase of 48,6114, or 17.41 per
cent. in the gross amount received, an increase in
the mileage of GI miles, or 0.98 per cent., and an
increase of 71. 3.. in the amount received per nubs
per week.
The Railway ?tans estimates the gross traffic re-
