The arrangement of the account has this morning
commenced, this being " continuation day " in the
share market, and, though the rates demanded for
carrying over are by no means light, being generally
higher than last account, a circumstance which usually
exercises a depressing influence on prices, a greater
degree of firmness has been shown, and in many in-
stances an advance in quotations is perceptible.
North British are ss. better. North Staffords, 2s. 6d.;
Caledonians, 23r. ; and South Easterns, 7s. 6d. Aber-
deen. have risen to 111, and Chester and Holyheads
to 211. It is suspected that in several stocks the
" bears" will be found to have oversold themselves
considerably. The rates of " contango" demanded
are : on London and North Westerns 1 to 1, with
givers of 1 ; Great Westerns and Midlands, to 1 ;
Dovers, 1-16 to 1 ; Caledonians, 1-16 to 3.

MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocz.
There is not so much business in the English
stock market to-day, though the transactions in-
clude further operations on public account in
the Reduced Threes. Prices are kept down at the
closing rates of yesterday, by the angry aspect of
French political matters, and the strongly developed
downward tendency of the Paris Bourse, in spite of
the temporary rally in the Rentes lately noticed.
Consols have been very quiet all day, at 981 to 1
for money, and 981 to for the 11th Dec., being the
same as they left of yesterday. The attention
of the dealers is, to a certain extent, en-
gaged by the arrangements for the settle-
ment of the account in the foreign stock
and railway share market. The prices of the morn-
ing's business are officially reported as follows :
Three per Cent Consols Annuities, 981, 1; ditto for
Account, 981, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced Annul-
ities, 971 I. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent.
Annuities, 981, 99, 981. Long Annuities, 7, 7 1-16.
Bank Stock, 2141,4.
Exchequer Bills opened at yesterday's improved
rate of 53a. to 565. prem., but a few sales of the
smaller sizes of bills have been made since at 528.
prem. In India Bonds nothing is doiug.
The foreign stock market is extremely dull, with
scarcely anything doing, beyond the usual prepara-
tions for the settlement ; so that the prices present
no quotable change. Spanish Actives mark 201.
The meeting of the supporters of Sir John Fitzgerald
in his new agitation for the avoidance of the arbi-
trary sacrifice of one-half of the coupons is now being
held at the London Tavern.
There is not much doing in the Californian gold
companies' shares to-day, and prices are quiet. Quo-
tations range as follows: Aqua Fria shares, 11 to 11
prem.; Nouveau Monde, Ito prem.; Golden
Mountain, 1-16 to 3-16 prem.; West Mariposa,
dis. to par; Ave Maria,l dis. to par.
Rumours of further mercantile embarrassments
at Liverpool have received their confirmation in the
suspension of two firms, those of Messrs. I'ryde and
Jones, and Messrs. Hamden and Co., both con-
nected with the American trade. The aggregate
liabilities of the two firms will probably prove
rather large, but some uncertainty prevails
on this point, and it is likewise probable that
a considerable portion of the loss will fall on
United States houses. These failures, however,

can only be regarded as isolated cases, and
by no means militate against the views
entertained in most quarters relative to the
generally sound condition of trade throughout
the kingdom. It is satisfactory to notice that the
limit of the pressure lately experienced in some
branches of business appears to have been reached.
Where embarrassments are now brought to light they

are in most cases attributable to difficulties existing
for some time past, and consequently excite no great
surprise.
The market tor foreign exchanges yesterday presented
no great change, but a fair amount of business was
transacted. Paris remained 25.10 to 13 for short,
and 25.25 to 30 for three months. Amsterdam
maintained the previous rate of 11.181 to M. Ham-
burg was in good demand, but large amounts of
paper being olkred, no decline took place. It left
off 13.10 to 1. Frankfort was done ut a slight de-
cline, viz.,1204. St. Petersburg was in great request,
but no paper offering. Bills on Genoa and Leghorn
were a shade lower, but for Spain and Portugal the
market was very dull. No business took place in
bills on Vienna or 'frieste, the nominal quotation
being 12.30 to 35. Tho prices negotiated are as fol-
lows:

PRESENTATION OF PORTRAIT TO MR. RONET.—
Yesterday, at a complimentary meeting, called for the pur-

ties Railway Company presented their late secretary, Mr.
C. P. Roney, with his portrait. The portrait is by Mr. F.
Gush, of Ncwman-street. _ _

MODE OF RELIEVING THE OUT-DOOR POOR,—
Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of directors of St.
Pancras parish, Mr. Turner proposed as • resolution,
" That, at the expiration of the contract for bread for the
out-door poor, money be given to the deserving poor in
lieu thereof, and that the casual poor be relieved with
bread obtained from the workhouse." The present system
of giving bread to the out-door poor, he thought, worked
badly : of late the bread which had been so supplied bad
been declared by competent judges to be mat for human
food. It would therefore be beMer to give money to the
deserving poor, and let them expend it to the best advan-
tage. Mr. Oudden seconded the resolution. Mr. Healey
moved an amendment, which was adopted, that Mr. Tur-
ner's resolution be taken into consideration on the second
Tuesday in March ; this would give an opportunity of
judging how the present system with the late improve-
ments world work. Hs admitted that this broad had
be.. bad, bat of lab tt had be.. iamb better.
