POKEY mAnzo—THIS DAY.

The fends ars quoted per cent. lower than they
closed yesterday, but all the Stock Exchange
markets are firm in character. English railway
shares show a further general improvement.
Consols opened at 941 to j for the 4th December,
and are now quoted 941 to 1. For money the per
seat quotation is 941 to j. The Three per Cents•
Reduced have been dealt in at 93} to j; the New
Three per Cents. at 93} to $; Exchequer Bills at
3s. to 51. prem.; Exchequer Bonds at 98j; and
India Bonds at 3s. prem. .

Turkish Six per Cents. continue to meet with •
large business, and are well supported at the recent
great Hee. Transactions for the 16th December
are recorded between 961 and 961, and
the present quotation is 961 to t. The
Guaranteed Four per Cents. are in demand,
and are marked 102 and 1021 for money, and
1021 and 1021 for the account. Other foreign
stocks are firm, but inactive. The sales include
Mexican Bonds, at 22 and 221 ; Peruvian Four-and-
and-Half per Cents., at 76j to 771 ; Russian Four-
and-Ralf per Cents., at 961 to 98; and Spanish Old
Three per Cents., for the 16th inst., at 42.
Speculative purchases are now more freely pro-
secuted oa the Paris Bourse, in the hope
that the improved position of the Back of
Franca will induce the directors shortly to
relax their existing stringent regulations. The
buoyancy of the Bourse is also stimulated by the dis-
covery that many of the speculators in the " cocaine"
(or nonofficial market) have of late been operating
for a fall, and have been caught by the rise now wit-
nessed. It would also appear that some of the great
capitalists who have made large gains by lending
money on stock at high rates of interest have them-
selves effected sales of a portion of the stock tempo-
rarily deposited in their hand,. Supposing the real
claimants of the stock to demand it back. the capital-
ists in question would be compelled to re-
purchase in the market. It is essential
to bear in mind this fact, which forms an
important set-off against the outstanding speculation
for higher prices in Paris, and tends to give the mar-
ket a much firmer basis. In fact, in this n
there is a similarity between the respective post
of the Paris Bourse and London Stock Exchange.
the latter having likewise sold to the public amen
of government stock which are merely leaf in the
market by bankers and others during the present
monetary pressure. Nevertheless, there is this
essential different* between the two markets—via.,
the creation of government stock here ha ceased,
and there is no heavy liability in the shape of calls
on new undertakings; whereas in France instalments
have to be met every mouth on the last loan, and the
requirements of railway and other companies are
very serious. There can be no doubt, however, that
the stook markets in both countries will ultimately
derive a great improvement of character from the
late severs fall in prices, which has led the public to
absorb stock to a great extent, and has proportion-
ately
diminished the amount in the hands of wealr
or speculative holders. The French Ronne having
been for some time past subjected to extraordinary
depreciation, it is not surprising teat the first
symptoms of relief to the money market should be
attended with a material effect upon prices. The
feeling of the Bonn evidently continues extremely
favourable, and the rise is materially assisted by the
efforts of • combination of itfluential operators.
There is still a demand for gold for exportation to'
the Continent, against the supplies of silver derived
from that quarter for the But. Should any moderate
amounts of gold come in from the United States or
Australia, they will probably be sent away. Judging
from present appearances, well-informed parties com-
pute that the remittances of silver for India and
China by the steamer of the 4th Dee. will amount to
folly three quarters of a million sterling; bat this
estimate Is merely conjectural.
The corn market was yesterday rather firmer than on
Monday, and floe wheat ie some sans fetched Is. par
qr. advance upon that day's rates. Yesterday's list of
arrivals off the oout includes five cargoes of grain,
all consisting of wheat.
There was great fluctuation to-day in the tallow
market. The price of St. Petersburg Y.C., after
touching 695. 9d., had fallen at a quarter-past four
o'clock this afternoon to 68s. in all positions.
The following memorandum is from the Peal

River Land and Company :
By die Cyclone the General Saperiateadent writes on the
11th August " I have just retorted frees a visit of inspec-
tion to the Peel RINI, diggiegs, mad I as glad to say that I
left 99 an at work, all of whom had paid the 20s. fee for
the carnal math. I wish I mild say that great seems
was attending their laboun ; bet this does sot appear to be
the ease to soy latent. Still every snowshoe mast be
made for their anwillingune to meal wetly what they
are making."

With a view to restore ormAdenos to the public mind,
which his received a severe shock front the recent
share frauds in the United States and Europe, certain
of the American railroad companies, including the
New York Central, and Cleveland and Toledo Com-
panies, have adopted the expediest of establishing a
separate registry office for the transfer of stock. The
following notice wu issued by the latter company on
the 11th inst. :
The Ohio Life and Trust Company have able day been
appolated registers of the stook of the cossyeay. AU certifi-
cates, before being issued, will be signed by that warm, as
such register. _ _ _

An extraordinary general meeting of the Bt.
lames's Hell Company (Limited), is called for the 6th
of December, to receive a report from the directors,
sod to authorise the raising of the further capital re.

The return of the Bank of Bogland for the week

previous ratan, shows the following results :

These changes are satisfactory. The amount of
private deposits withdrawn is double that of Treasury
&posits paid in ; bat, on the other hard, the "other
secorities" have ran off to the extent of 821,6711.,
and the reserve of notes thus shows the important
addition of 611,2401. The increase in the coin and
bullion is 213,4691., making a total increase of
1187,4841. in two weeks. The next return will
doubtless exhibit a farther considerable addition
wader this head. In face of this favourable tendency
of the Bank secounts, we mast suppose that the de-
lay of the direc'ors in reducing the rate of discount
b occasioned by their wish to see how the extensive
liabilities maturing next week will be met.
