THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1867.

THE WEATHER.-(THIS DAY.)

No snow has fallen since yesterday, but that
which descended they is still very apparent. The
housetops remain covered, and the roads present
formidable impediments to all kinds of traffic,
whilst great danger has to be encountered by
pedestrians. The weather last night is registered
Al 19 degrees below freezing, and at 1 o'clock to-day the
glass indicated a rise of 15 degrees, the wind being north-
east. The London General Omnibus Company have
very wisely taken nearly the whole of their vehicles
elf the road, in order to escape the manifest risk of
danger to horses. The journey up Holborn-hill
by omnibuses belonging to private individuals has
been painful to witness ; and in the ease of pub-
lic omnibuses plying between that point and Paddington,
the ordinary charge, '2.1. all the way," has had substituted
for it a minimum fare of 6d. At all the railway
.stations
the railway trains this morning were late in arriving, and
there has been great delay in the deliveries of the
London Parcels Delivery Company. It may be added that
the authorised " fares for hackney carriages " have
been totally disregarded by the owners of cabs, who make
their own charge on " taking up" a fare. The bad condi-
tions of the streets has occasioned loud complaints among
shopkeepers, and it is stated that at the West-end several
houses were yesterday closed.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

thrs o'Cwoz.

The directors of the Bank of England have not
made any alteration to-day in the rate of discount,
nor was any expected, although it is said that the
weekly return, to be published this evening, will be fa-
vourable. The stock marketaare dull, salesbeing still
pressed to realise profits. The weather continues
to impede business. The result is a reduction in
some of the British railway securities and foreign
bonds, but the English funds are maintained at
the closing prices of yesterday. Amongst the
financial shares, Credit Fonder have again de-
clined.

The supply of money to-day is extremely large,
while few bills are offered for discount. The general
rate for choice paper is 11 to I per cent. below the
minimum at the Bank. Provision has already been
made for the bills maturing to-morrow, the 4th of
the month. The charge for short loans on English
government securities in the Stock Exchange is 2}
to 3 per cent.

Consols are now quoted 901 to f, ex div., both
for money and the 10th inst., and 901; to f, ex ]iv.,
for the February account.
The foreign stock market is dull, and a decline
of to per cent. has occurred in Spanish Passive,
the Committee's Certificates, and Italian of 1861.
Turkish of 1865, however, have improved f.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 523 to 531,
ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 32 to 1 ; Greek, 141 to
15 ; Spanish Passive, 21 to 1 ; ditto Certificates,
14 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 521 to 1, ex div. ;
Mexican, 17f to 181 ; and Russian Scrip, fto 1
prem.

- tinted States 5-20 Bonds are inquired for, and
have risen f per cent., viz., to 73 to I ; Erie Rail
way shams are quoted 46 to ; and Illinois Central,
82 to showing no change.

Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight
per Cent. preference shares are without variation,
at 151 to 16 and 311 to I, respectively.
International Financial shares are quoted 2i
to 21 dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dis. ;
General Credit, 2to 11 dis., ex all ; Credit Foncier,
51 to 51 dis. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16+ top, ex div.
Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, for
the half-year ending Dec. 31, on the shares of the
Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Com-
pany, will be paid on the 12th inst.
An extraordinary meeting of the Russian
(Vykaounaky) Iron Works Company will be held
on the 11th inst., " for the purpose of considering
and approving of the arrangements which have
been entered into for settling disputes between the
company and shareholders, and incident thereto."
An extraordinary meeting of the Gilvach Coal
Company is convened for the 18th inst., to con-
sider a resolution in favour of the undertaking
being wound up voluntarily.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday. During the week 147,0001. has been sent
In, while there have been no withdrawals for ex-
portation, though a good deal of coin has doubtless
been temporarily absorbed in the government and
other payments usual at the turn of the year.
The Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold
yesterday, partly for the Continent and partly for
refining, at 4s. no, per ounce, showing no change.
The shipments of gold from Melbourne during
the month of November reached 799,500/. of which
448,000/. was for England, and 351,500/. for
Point de Galls.

The bidding* for bills on India took place yester•
day at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted
were :—To Calcutta, Rs. 19,80,300 ; to Madras,
Rs. 13.700 ; and to Bombay, Rs. 15,38,500. The
minimum price was fixed at Is. wid. on all the
presidencies. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras
at Is. lop. will receive about 05 per
cent. ; those above in full ; and on Bom-
bay at ls. 10id. and upwards in full. It
appears from this that in consequence of the go-
vernment having lowered theirterms by Id., or my
11 per cent., as compared with those fixed on the
last occasion, the whole amount of hills offered
have been sold.

Hopes are expressed that the City authorities on
the present occasion will not require to be stirred
up by public remonstrance, but will take prompt
and effectual measures to cleanse all the City
thoroughfares from the snow.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 4,6171. over
last year ; the Midland a decrease of 1,8061. ;
the Great Western an increase of 1,4261. ; the
Great Eastern an increase of 2,5021. ; the Great
Northern an increase of 2,3571. ; and the Lon-
don and South Western an increase of 3,6011.

The extraordinary general meeting of the East
India Cotton Agency Company (Limited), convened
for yesterday, was adjourned, there not being a
sufficient number of shareholders present to form a
quorum, owing to the severe weather, and to the
difficulty of locomotion.

Creditors of the Central Railway Company of
Venezuela (Limited) are required to send the par-
ticulars of their claims to Mr. George Whit En, one
of the liquidators, by the 25th inst.
Creditors of the Quebraiia Land, Railway, and
Mining Company (Limited) are required to send
the particulars of their claims to the voluntary
liquidators by the 2nd February.
A petition for the winding up of the Aldborough
Hotel Company (Limited) is to be heard before the
Master of the Rolls on the 12th inst.

The subjoined report on the market for American
securities is from the circular of Messrs. Satter-
thwaite and Co. :

During the pest week there has been • fair amount of
business in the London market for American securities,
with • steadily rising tendency for government securities ;
5-20's of 1862 issue closing 724 to 34. and the 186.5 issue
716 to 72k. Illinois Central shares have also been in
request, and show an advance of more than 3 per cent.,
being last quoted 82 to 4. Erie* have been neglected and
dull, and show little alteration from last week. The dis-
position to invest in mortgage bonds of first class American
railways continues, and offering are readily taken.
Atlantic and Great Western consolidated bonds and certi-
ficates of debenture have been more offered, and close at
lower rates. _

FATAL Gun Am-inn:cr.—A farmer'■ son, named
Alfred Hotton, of Newlyn, West Cornwall, met with •
shocking accident while out on a shooting expedition on
Monday. Within a couple of hours of the unfortunate
young man leaving his home he was found a corpse, his
three degs sitting close to the body. It is believed that the
deceased had got out of what is known u a " shale pit,"
where he had been biding from the birds. and was in the
act of reaching up the gun with the barrel towards him,
when the triggers caught by some means and the fatal
accident happened. The charge had entered his mouth,
taking an upward course, and lodged in the bead.
