MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
There has been a rather more varied business in
the English stocks to-day, and the transactions
have included further investments in the Re-
duced Threes by the government broker, but the
general feeling. of the market has been flatter, and
with the manifestation of more disposition to realise,
accompanied by an absence of active purchasers,
quotations have experienced a reaction of 1. The
revenue returns are looked too with some interest
and unsatisfactory rumours have not been wanting
in some quarters, but it is difficult to see what
ground for an unfavourable reading of the market
and of the trade of the country can be deduced
from the possible falling off in any ono branch
ot our fiscal resources, and which is capable of easy
explanation. Attention has already been drawn in
the E.rprest to the probable effect of recent legisla-
tive changes on one important head of the return.
Consols opened rather widely quoted, 971 to 4,
and are now 1 lower than yesterday, at 971 to 1 ex
div. for the 16th January. The actual business
prices are:—Throe per Cent. Consols (shut), 983
with div. for money; ditto, for account, 971, ex
div. • Three per Cent. Reduced, 981, 971; New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 99 981; Anna. of 30
years, 1859, 61; South Sea Old Anne., 971 ; Bank
Stock 215, Y ; ditto for account, 215
Exchequer Bills maintain the late advance pretty
well, buyers offering at Cilis. prem., and for India
Bonds at 675. prem.
The appearance of the foreign stock market re-
mains good. Sardinian loads have further risen 1
per cent., and Spanish Actives 1. The settlement of
the account is in progress, and proceeds satisfac-
torily. Mexican Bonds are very well supported. The
sales as yet effected are as follows: Brazilian Old
Five per Cents., 943. Austrian Five per Cent.
I Bonds, 79. Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents., 591.
Mexican Bonds, 274. Peruvian Five per Cents.,
1849, 911; ditto, Dtferred, 47. Portuguese Five
per Cent. Converted (Brazil guarantee), 921, 911
Sardinian ,
Five per Cent., 86, 851, 861. Spanish
Active Five per Cents., 213, ; ditto for account, 213.
Yesterday was continuation day in the railway share
market, as well as in the foreign stock market, Wed-
nesday being the account day. The following are
sonic of the rates which prevailed in the early part
of the day :
London and North Westerns, to continuation.
Great Westerns, 1 to 1 continuation.
Midlands, 1. toy continuation, with some givers
taneashire and Yorkshire, „ to 1 continuation.

South Easterns, 1-16 to ,CcOntinitation.
South Westerns, a to I per share continuation.

Eastern Counties 4 per cent. to 1-32 continuation.
Great Northernsl-32 to 3-32 continuation.
Oxford and Worcesters, 1-16 to continuation.
Caledonians, 1-16 to k continuation.
At a later period of the day the following rates
were negotiated:
York and Newcastlesl-16 to 3 16 continuation.
York and North Midlands, 1-16 to 3.16 coutinua-

London and Brightons, continuation.
Blackwalbi, 1-16 to 1-32 continuation.
Ambergates, 1-32 to 3-32 continuation.
To-day there is little movement, the arrangements
for carrying over having been mainly completed, and
the rates of contago rule about the same as yesterday
afternoon.
There is rather more firmness in the market for
the new gold mining shares, but prices are scarcely
changed.
The announcement of the failure of Messrs. Clay-
pole and Son, of Liverpool, has been made, and has
excited a general feeling of regret. The firm were
chiefly engaged in the West India trade, and the
casualty is attributed to the full in the price of
sugar. What may be the ultimate loss to the cre-
ditors is not yet to be ascertained, as a considerable
portion of the assets of the firm is understood to be in
the colonies, and not susceptible of ready realisation.
The imports of specie from the United States con-
tinue extremely large. The amount brought over
by the America is no less than 230,0001., and the
quotation of exchange on London was still well sup-
ported. The accounts from the American stock mar-
kets refer to the increasing scarcity of leading secu-
rities, and an upward movement in the bonds of the
chief railroads, which is in a great measure attribu-
table to European orders, but in the selection of thcso
latter securities great discrimination is exercised. It
is noticed as somewhat surprising that with the low
rates for several descriptions of American securities
in London, as compared with those current on the
other side, stock has not been thrown in considerable
quantities for realisation on the United States markets,
where they would find an active market. The report
of the Secretary of the Treasury is looked for with a
great deal of interest by capitalists in London as well
as on the other side, and the Mexican bondholders
are also on the alert to see what allusion will bo
made in it to the payment of the two millions and a
half of dollars of the indemnity money, which sum
has been made over to them by the Mexican govern-
ment.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by the various securities cited at
the average of the prices which ruled yesterday.
Where the asterisk (•) is prefixed, it is to be under-
stood that the share rate of interest is less the in-
come tax. It will be seen that in every case we tako
the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our
calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu-
rate, the proportion of interest which may have
accrued since last dividend period should, m each
case, be taken into account:
