MONEY MARAE'L

THURSDAY EVENING.

The English stock market opened heavily, and at
one period of the day showed a further fall of 1 per
cent., sales being still pressed. In the afternoon,
however, the feeling was father firmer, purchases to
cover previous speculative sales being induced by this
decline and by intelligence of a rally of 1 to 1 per
cent. on the Paris bourse of to day; and the market
finally closed at au improvement of 1 per cent. com-
I pared with the closing rates of yesterday. The
firmer aspect of the market in the afternoon does not
seem to have been caused by any more favourable
feeling as regards the aspect of foreign politics, but
was mainly due to the still large outstacdiog specu-
lation for the fall, which causes operators in this
direction to come in as buyers on any decline.
The downward movement of prices is thee
rendered very gradual. The chief feature of imme-
diate moment in the market consists in the steady
supply of Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. and Re-
duced Three per Cent. stock by the public, which
has continued for some days past, and owing to
which there is still an active demand for money in
the Stork Esehauge, at 4to 41 per cent. on govern-
ment securities. To determirie whether or not these
sales of the public extend also to Consols, we must
wait for the opening of the transfer books of that
stock in the middle ot January. It is believed, how-
ever, that considerable bona fide sales have been
made of this stock also during the present account.
As regards foreign politics, the event which is now
almost daily expected to be announced from Con-
stantinople, is the entrance of the allied fleets into
the Black Sea. In well informed quarters it is ex-
pected that the formal announcement of this step
will cause considerable movement at the Russian
embassies at Paris and London, and may even lead
to the withdrawal of Baron Brunnow and M. de
Kiwi&
Consols opened at 931 to 1 ex. div. for the 18th
January, advanced to 934 to 1, tell to 931, to 1, and,
Sher several intermediate variations, finally closed
ISt 934 to 1. The market may be said to have closed
with steadiness. The °Metal business report is as
llsilows:—Three per Cent. Comte, for the opening,
1116 January, 931, 2,2, f„ 2, ex div. Three per
Cent. Reduced, 931, 1, 1. 1. Three-arid-a-Quarter
per Cents., 951, 95, 1.
Exchequer Bills were quoted Is. higher, at 4s.
M 7s. prem. India Bonds rule at par to 30. prcm.
The foreign stock market exhibited no movement
of importance, prices being generally steady. Ora-
sada Deferred Bonds showed more weakness. Par-
'bases of a limited amouet continue to be made ow
Dutch account ot the stocks currently dealt
in on that bourse, which appears marked
by much steadiness of character, considering
the political complications of the day. At 4
o'clock Mexican Hoods were quoted 231 to 241.
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 68 to 70;
ditto Three per Cents., 48 to 50. Sardinian, 90 to'
92. Spanish Deferred, 211 to 22. The Committee's'
Certificates, 41 to 51 per cent. Russian Five per

follows :—Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 95
(exchange, 23f.) Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 1852, 921. Danish Five per Cents., 1021.

dinian Five per Cents., 90, 91“, 1. Spanish Old
Three per Cents., 461; ditto, New Deferred Three
per Cents., 211, 22.
There was again considerable inquiry to-day for
geld for remittance to the continent, but the Austra-1
lian supplies lately reported off the coast have not
yet reached the river.
Great complaints are still heard of the numerous
delays and irregularities in the delivery of letters
from Paris. The letters brought in by to-day's mail
were known to have reached the Post-office at four
o'clock this afternoon, but had not been delivered up
to the close of business, to the great inconvenience of
parties intereeed. It would appear that these delays
are io a great measure chargeable upon the London
Post-office.
The demand for American stocks in this market is
quite checked by the existing political suspense.
During the week there have been scarcely any trans-
sections whatever in these securities. Present quo-
tations are thus reported by Messrs. D. Bell, Son,

Land shares to-day were again offered, and lower.
Australian Agricultural and South Australian Land
fell 1/. per share. British American Land shares
also declined, closing at 66 to 69. Bank shares were
dull. Oriental Bank shares declined IL, and those
of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered
Bank were also weaker. The late sales of Crystal
Palace shares do not appear to be continued, but the
price does not rally, being last quoted 1 11-16 to
1 13-16 prem. In other stocks of a miscellaneous
character there was an absence of feature.

ton Company's receipts are not quite so large as
those of the corresponding week of last year, whilst
those of several of the other metropolitan lines ex-
hibit little variation. Most of these returns are fort
the week ending the 25th inst. (Christmas-day); but
those of the Brighton, Bristol and Exeter, London
and South Western, and South Eastern, extend only
to the 24th, and consequently do not include the
traffic of Christmas-day. It may be observed that
the passenger trtflic on Sunday last would ;probably
be checked to some extent by the knowledge that the
following Monday was to be a holiday, and this will
perhaps cause the weekly returns next to be issued
to show a larger difference in favour of the present
season than could otherwise have been expected.
The returns on Scotch lines are as under :
