The resumption of business in the Stock Exchango
can only be said to be partial, as ninny of the mem-
bersare availing themselves of the holiday season. Tho
feeling of the market generally remains very firm, and
prices have not only recovered from the temporary
weakness induced by the ministerial crisis here, but
have experienced nn additional improvement of 1.
There was a further fall on the I'aris Bourse
on Wednesday afternoon, by which the
quotation of the Five per Cent. Itentes was re-
duced to only a shade above par, but little
import is attached to the movement, us the settlement
of the heavy account on that Bourse is now beginning
to influence operations. From the extraordinary ex-
tent of the ziso and the magnitude of the operations
the settling will engage a large amount of attention,
and a considerable degree of fluctuation may possibly
occur prior to its final completion.
Console opened at Wednesday's closing price of
96f to 97 ex div. for the 16th January, end are now
1 higher, at 97 to h, with a quiet appearance. The
only operation of any importance is another invest-
ment by the government broker ha the
Tlesee,per,
Cents. Reduced. To-day's official business report is as
follows: Three per Cent. Consols for account, 961,
971 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, ; New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 9S t, Bank Stock,
215 f.
There is.rt marked rise in Exchequer Bills, which
are in increased request, with the quotations firm at
Ms. to 51s. premium. India Bonds participate
in the improved feeling, but the only transaction of
the morning is at 61s. prem.
In the Foreign Stock market the movement is confined
to Spanish Stocks, in all of which a disposition to
operate has been evinced, inducing a considemblo
advance. For other descriptions the market remains
good, though with comparatively nothing doing:
The sales of the morning are as follows :—Bratilian
Old Five per Cent. small bonds, 95. Belgian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 92 Chilian Six per Cents.,
1004. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 89;, 90.
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1024. Spanish
Active Five per Cents., 21, ; ; ditto for account, 31st
Dec., 211, I; dittto Old Three per Cents. for account,
401, 41;; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 16. f.
There is very little business doing in the gold
mining shares, and quotations remain as before.
The share list in detail hi subjoined :—Agua Fria,
Ito 11 prem. ; West Mariposa, die. to par ;
Nouveau Monde, Ito prem.; Ave Maria, -, dis.
to par: Golden Minintain,ipar to 1 prem. ; Anglo-
California, 1 to 1, prem. ; British Australian 1 to
prem.

- Generally the railway traffic returns for the last
week now in course of publication present a conti-
nuous satisfactory comparison with last year, though
in one or two instances, including the London and
North Western, on which there is a decrease)
of 2,834/.,. the contrast with the figures
for the corresponding period of 1850, is
not so favourable. For the year, however, the ag-
gregate receipts of this great line are no less than
1,370,4911. nguinst 1,159,939/. last year. Next week's
returns will show the increased movement usual at
the Christmas-tide.
