MONEY MAREBT.-THIS DAT.

Two o'CLocz.

The funds Grand quietly. but have since attained
a fresh rind f pee cent. The other Stock Exchange
markets remain generally inn.
Couch are marked NI to 1 for money, and 951
to I fee the Bth of homey: The present quotatiose
are 941 to 95k for money, and 951 to I foe
the assocant. The Three per Cents. Beamed
'have been dealt In at 931 to 1; the
New Three per Cents., at 93& to 941; Back
Stock at 218 to 217; India Stock at 225; Bache-
' quer Bills at se. to Bs. prem.; Exchequer Bonds
at 981; and India Beads at 2e. dir. to 2s. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. have advanced to 981 to
f, and the Goarantsed Four per Conte. to 1021
to 103. Mexican Bonds are quoted 22 to

221. Spanish securities condius to meet
with some attention. Danish Five per Cents.
have been dealt in at 104; Portuguese Three per
Cents., 1863, at 46; Bastian Foar.and•a-Half per
Cents. at 97; Sardinian, at 881 ex div.; Spanish Old
Three per Cont. at 431; ditto, for 16th December, at
421 and 43; ditto, New Deferred, at 241 and 24/1
and the Committee's Certifkates at 6 per cent.
Many parties anticipated that a reduction to
6 per cent., by the Back of England,
would be decided upon without any intermediate
pews ; but the result proves that the directors
are resolved to pursue a cautious policy. In
this determination they are probably encouraged by
the proof which has been afforded even within the
last day or two that the tendency of gold to low to
the Continent continues. The recent withdrawals of
geld from the Bank, however, have been specially
destined to pay for silver on the Continent, and the
fall in the price of silver (referred to below) is Wen.
Wed to dissipate any immediate apprehension on this
more. A reduction of per omit. in the rate of dim-
cloud is not, in itself, au event of much importance;
neve:theism it is received with greet satisfaction as
I indicating in an unmistakeable manner the belief of
the directors that the period of severest prams is
passed. Holders of money will now show mare wit-
Engem to lend, owing to the prospect of a gradual
return to (osier rates of &sweat.

The heavy liabilities maturing yesterday appear, so
far all we an learn, to have been remarkably well
met. It is hoped that the market will now sesame
a quieter eppeareure. We must sot forget, however,
that money is always in exceptional demand daring
amidst few weeks of the year. There is ground for
the anticipation that, after the turn of the year, and
the release of the January dividends, an improved
state of monetary affairs will be witnessed.
The

dismant houses have reduced
their rate foe mossy on call from 6 to 6! per
ant. The joint-stock banks bare also lowered their
rote foe dwaits from 8 to 61 per cent.
The seWimsot to Oceseis has been attended with
the failure of a member of the Stock Exchange, who
is reported to lave bass a epoulative seller of Con-
sole to the waist of hawses 408,8004 and 600,0004

The redaction of hd. per rupee jut announeed in
the Lit lodia Company's rate of exchange has in-
closed much flatness in the silver market. Bales of
bar silver lately imported from the Continent Molt
place yesterday at fle.l gd. per ounce standard,showing
a redaction of jd. per ounce compared with the last
private sales, and a reduction of Id. as compared
with the price realised for the supply ex the steamer
La Plata on the 26th nit. The silver brought by the
Atrato remains on sale. Some parties tepees a belief
that the flow of silver to India will metre a check ;
but, if so, we apprehend that it will prove merely a
temporary one. Even a temporary penes, however,
in the withdraws/5 of silver from the Continent
for tvemtbipment to the Rest would probably impart
a favourable tendency to the continental exchange.,
and thu assist our money market io its proem
towards greater ease. The parties who have just
effected such large shipments of silver for the East
per the Ripon, ere naturally annoyed at the step now
adopted by the East India pany.
The spuds and bullion ex the Atrato were in band
yesterday. The gold, amounting to between 40,0004
and 50,0004, was taken far the Continent.
