There is little business to-day in the Stock
Exchange, and although few changes have
occurred in prices the tone of most of
the markets is rather dull. English govern
ment securities are offered, and Consols ex-
hibit a fresh reduction of 4 per cent. Some of
the foreign bonds have likewise given way, but
Hie chief British railway shares are quoted the same
as on Saturday,in the absence of transactions. The
most important feature in the miscellaneous market
is a fall of about 34 per cent. in Crystal Palace
stock, owing to the destructive fire yesterday in
the tropical department.
The supply of money in the discount market to-
day is very moderate, while the demand is ex-
tremely active, as usual on the last day of the year.
The rate for the best paper is 34 to 4 percent.
Consols are now quoted 891 to 4, ex div., both
for money and the account (January 10).
Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are fiat,
and have declined 1- to 4 per cent., but the other
speculative descriptions are unaltered, with the I
exception of a recovery of 4 per cent in Turkish
of 1862. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted
56 to 57 ; ditto of 1865, 314 to I ; Greek, 144
to 15 ; Spanish Passive, 214 to 4 ; ditto Certi-
ficates, 144 to 4 ; Italian of 1861, 564 to 4;
Mexican, 18 to 4 ; and Russian Scrip, i to 11 prem.
United States 5-20 Bonds are unchanged, at
724 to 4, but Erie and Illinois Central railway
shares have risen 4 per cent., being quoted 46 to 47,
and 80 to 81, respectively.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are called 154
to I ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Pre-
ference, 34 to 4, showing no movement.
International Financial shares are quoted 21
to 14 dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dis. ;
General Credit, 24 to 14 dia. , ex all ; Credit Fonder,
5 to 44 dis. ; National Discount, 94 to 4 prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 4, ex div.
The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies
with 321,5001. in specie, and the Sir John Law-
rence, from Sydney, with 37,500 L
About 10,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank
on Saturday.
The French mail steamer Nouveau Monde has
arrived at St. Nazaire from Mexico, with 40,000/.
in specie, a portion of which is probably on English
account.
The Board of Trade returns just issued shows
that the exports in November were nearly half
a million less than in the corresponding month
of 1865, and it would appear that this falling
off arises exclusively front the check given tu
trade by the late crisis. As compared, how-
ever, with the exports of November, 1864,
there is an increase of rather more than three
millions. That the general volume of the export
trade is satisfactory may be further gathered from
the subjoined figures, which relate to the first eleven
months of the last three years :

Descending into items, we find that the exports of
woollen and worsted manufactures for November
were considerably leas than in November last year, 1
and the same remark applies to linen manufac-
tures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares, and
some other leading articles The shipments of
cotton piece goods, however, show a fresh increase,
being 4,517,317!. in November, 1866, against
4,289,9511. in November, 1865, and 3,043,337/. i
Nov. 1864. In like manner, cotton yarn rose to
1,170.1031. in Nov. 1866, against 967,487/. in Nov.
1865, and 633,253!. in Nov. 1864. There was also
an increase in the shipments of coal for the month :
those of iron were pretty well maintained, but
copper and brass present a diminution.
As regards imports, those of cotton have been
upon a full average scale, the receipts being
645,227 cwts. in Nov. last, against 630, 588 cwts.
in Nov. 1863, and 621,100 cwts. in Nov. 1864, but
this ratio is very different from that presented in
the first eleven months of the present year, when
no 1ea5than11,255,498 cwts. were imported, against
6,946,153 cwts. in the 11 months of 1865, and
0,707,696 cuts. in the 11 months of 1864. Therevival
of the American cotton trade is shown in the fact I
that the eleven months imports this year from the
United States have reached 4,233,961 cwts.,
whereas in the eleven months of 1865 they were
433,773 cwts. ; and in 1864, 119,095 cwts. India,
however, more than maintains all the ground she
has gained. there having been imported from that
country 5,229,977 cwts. in the eleven months of
1866, against 3,422,839 in 1865 and 3,784,562 in

1864:
Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
Ireekty List) of the railway calls falling due in the
month of January. The total is considerably above
the average
