MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONB ceettrOu.
The dealings in English government securities
to-day are upon a very moderate scale, and Consols
present no variation. The chief British railway
stocks are also unchanged, while some of the
foreign bonds have given way to a slight extent.
Miscellaneous sharesare inactive, butthe imrortant
advance which took place yesterday in Anglo.
American is fully maintained. It is stated that
this company will shortly declare a very satisfac-
tory dividend.
The supply of money to-day has increased, while
few bills are being offered for discount. The general
quotation is called 33 to 4 per cent., but excep-
tional transactions have occurred at 33, or
below the Bank of England rate. The im-
pression is general, however, that no alteration
will be made in the official minimum at present,
owing to the certainty that the inquiry for money
will soon greatly increase, in connexion with the
large payments always effected at the end of the
year. Short loans on English government securi-
ties are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 24 to 3
per cent.
Consols are now quoted 884 to 3, ex div., for
money, and 884 to 3, ex div., for the account
(January 10).
Spanish Certificates and Russian Scrip are fiat,
and have declined per cent. ; the latter is called
to 1 prem. Italian Bonds of 1861 are also 1
lower. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58 to
59; 'ditto 1865, 334 to 3 ; Greek, 133 to 141 ;
Spanish Passive, 191 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 134
to 4 ; Italian of 1861, 55 to 4; Mexican, 184 to 4.
United States 5-20 Bonds have declined 4 per
cent., viz., to 702 to 71. Erie Railway shares are
quoted 463 to 474, and Illinois Central, 77 to 4,
showing no movement.
Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele-
graph 8 per cent. Preference shares are firm, at 154
to 164 and 33 to 4, respectively.
International Financial shares are quoted 23
to 23 dis. ; London Financial, 194 to 184 dis. ;
General Credit, 24 to 2 dia. ; Credit Fonder,
53 to die. ; National Discount, 93 to 4 prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 164 to I.
One of the features of yesterday was a rise of 1/.
in Anglo-American Telegraph shares, and the fact
that the speculative repurchases by which it was
caused were prompted chiefly by so simple a matter
as the transmission through the wires of the Pre-
sident's message, indicates how readily prices in
the Stock Exchange would respond to any favour-
able symptoms, were such to present themselves.
The half monthly settlement in shares and
foreign stocks will begin to-morrow (" continua-
tion day"), and end on Friday.
About 67,000/. in bar gold was sent into the
Bank yesterday, in addition to 5,000 sovereigns
from Lisbon.
The mail steamer France has reached St. Na-
zaire, from Vera Cruz, with 146,5001. in specie,
a portion of which is understood to be on English
account.
A resolution of the committee of the Stock
Exchange, passed last week and confirmed yester-
day, with reference to the liability of brokers, ,
has excited a great deal of attention
and dissatisfaction. The facts of the case
lie within a narrow compass. A certain share-
holder in Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited)
sold shares through a respectable brokers' firm,
and, as the transferree refused to register, the
seller, with a view to recover the amount of the
call made upon him by the liquidators, is bringing
an action against the firm of " jobbers," or dealers,
to whom his brokers sold the shares, and with
whose name he was of course made acquainted
through its appearing upon the contract note for-
warded to him at the time of the sale. It appears
that there is an old internal law of the Stock
Exchange which provides that, if the principal of
a broker brings an action against a dealer in
respect of any transaction, the broker is to
be held responsible, and, applying this rule
without discrimination to the case now referred to,
the committee have decided, by a large majority,
that the brokers firm shall be held responsible to
the jobber for the amount of the costs to which the
latter may be put. The want of equity involved
in such a decision is obvious. The broker has per-
formed all that could justly be required from him,
and the fact of his having furnished his principal
with the name of the buying jobber proves that he
held himself out simply as u9ent in the matter,
and not as assuming any responsibility. If the
committee's view as to the liability of brokers to
hold the jobbers harmless is to stand, it is appre-
hended that brokers are unwittingly committing
themselves day by day to very serious liabilities in
the event of transferrees declining or even ne-
glecting to register, while at the same time jobbers
may be encouraged to allow any similar actions to
go by default, instead of defending them, because
they know that they themselves will be safe. The
decisions of the Stock Exchange during the last
year, or two have occasionally been severely criti-
cised, and one more will now be added to the ob-
noxious list It is stated that vigorous action is
likely to be taken on the present case by a combi-
nation of brokers, actiug in defence of the common
interests.
Except in one instance, the whole of the large
amount of East India and China paper which fell
due on Saturday was well met. As regards the
case referred to, it is hoped that the difficulty will
be speedily arranged.
Advices from Glasgow announce that Messrs.
Liddell, M'Gillivray and Co., spinners and manu-
facturers, have stopped payment, owing to a dis-
pute amongst the partners. No intelligence had
transpired, however, as to whether the firm would
be liquidated or not. A meeting was held. on Fri-
day last, of the creditors of Messrs. Shand end Co.,
oil refiners, when the liabilities were computed at
62,273/., and the assets at 109,9091., showing an
apparent surplus of 47,6361. The partners agreed
to a sequestration, in accordance with the wishes of
the creditors.
A first dividend of Bs. in the pound will be paid
on Friday next to the creditors of the Birmingham
Banking Company.
An enormous call is about to be made on ti.e
shares of Barned's Banking Company (Limited),
thus adding one more to the long list. of those
recent sad experiences by which the public are now
so effectually deterred from investing. The fol-
lowing circular has been issued by the Master of
