YOB 7i' =BEET-THIS DAY.

Two o'Ouxx.

Owing partly to news of a fresh rise on the Paris
Bonne the stock markets to-day are rather firmer,
although business is exceedingly inanimate. Con-
sols have advanced about I per cent. British railway
stocks, in two or three instances, are about per
cent. better than on Saturday. In other respects
the movements in the Stock Exchange this morning
have been devoid of interest.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
69ft. 75c., showing a fresh advance of fully I per
cent. since Saturday.
Consols are officially marked 92k, 931, and 921
for money, and 93 and 921 for the account. The
present quotations are 93 to 1- both for cash and next
Thursday, and 931 for the 6th December. The
official business report is'as follows :—Bank Stock,
233 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91f, k ; New
Three per Cents.; 91k, ; India Stock, 221,
223 ; ditto Five per Cent stook, 1859, 1031 ;
ditto Bonds, As. dia. ; F.:chequer Bills, 3s. dis.

The Turkish Loan of 1858 continues to meet with
inquiry, and has been dealt in as high as 584 ; the
meant quotation is 58 to 4. The Loan of 1854 is
firm, at 71 to 4. Other foreign stocks are likewise
firm, with very little business. Sales are recorded
as follows ,—Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates,
994, 4 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 224;
Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, for account,
444; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account,
854, 4, 4 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 49 ;
ditto New Deferred Three per Ceuta., for account,
40 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, 711 ; ditto, for
account, 714, 4 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, for
account, Hy 4, 574, 581

A month or two ago it was remarked that
there was a constant supply of Consols at 94.
Then for some weeks 93} formed a bar, beyond
which the price oonld not rise ; and now any ad-
vance to 93 seems to be followed by a fresh supply,
notwithstanding the approach of the period for the
deduction of the January dividend. Preparations
for the monthly settlement, which is fixed for
Thursday next, contribute for the present to keep
the market dull.

A heavy amount of bills fell due on Saturday, but
appear to have been well met. IFhe discount market
was active, but the supply of money continues
ample, and accommodation is readily obtained upon
good securities at very moderate terms, for short
periods.
The imports of specie last week amounted
to 643,500 L including 282,5001. from Australia,
302,5001. from the West Indies and Mexico,
31,0001. from New York, and 27,496/. from Brasil.
According to some reports afloat, one half of the
4,000,0001. in cash which it is assumed will be
realised from the Turkish loan of 8,0000001. stock
said to have been contracted for by M. Mims, at
Paris, is to be applied to the redemption of
the local debt, known as the Haane-Tahvili,
or Treasury Bonds, which are payable in specie,
whilst the other half is to be applied to meeting the
pressing necessities of the Turkish treasury. No-
thing more is said about the adoption of any gene-
ral plan for the amelioration of the finances, the
inauguration of which would appear to be an indis-
pensable preliminary to the introduction of a new
n in the Western markets. A telegram re-
ceived from Constantinople announces that the
exchange on London, which lately stood at 144,
has fallen to 124. The mere rumour of the success-
ful negotiation of • loan in France or England
would have a great effect at Constantinople, as the
numerous clamorous creditors of the government
would see in it a kind of god-send.
The bills due on the 4th (yesterday) being present-
able on Saturday, the clearing-house was kept open
till 5 o'clock, instead of 4. The arrangement occa-
sioned dissatisfaction amongst the employes in
banking establishments, who did not object upon
the first occurrence of the kind—on the 4th
August—that has occurred since the earlier closing
on Saturdays, but consider it should not be drawn
into a precedent. An extra hour for clearing
on Saturday, when the 3rd or 4th of the month
falls on that day, might, it is considered, hay.) been
required had the proposed hour of closing on Satur-
day, viz., 2 o'clock, been acquiesced in. Most of
the clerks consider the present gain to them but
slight, and scarcely a compensation for the abridge-
ment of their time for refreshment. It is hoped
that by, or soon after, the new year the request of
the memorial of the merchants and traders of Lon-
Om to close banking business at 2 o'clock on Satur-
days may be granted.
The traffic on the 687 miles of the South Austrian
line of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway Company
for the week ending Oct. 20 was 42,8741, being
9,0791. more than in the corresponding week el 1859
on the same number of miles ; and. that on the
Lombardo- Venetian line 5,4131., showing an in-
mates of 3061. -

The anneal meeting of the Nwsian Rhine•Lahn
Railway Company is called for the 6th Dec. at
Wiesbaden, and "will be transformed into an
extraordinary general meeting in the event of the
liquidation of the company being taken into
consideration.,,

SATIMAT Evxernea,
Consols, which closed yesterday at92*, " buyers,"
for money and next Thursday, open this morn-
ing at 92* to 93,Itouched 93. " buyers," and closed
at 924 to 93. For We 6th December the last
prioe was 93 to *. The official business report is
as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
93, 924 ; ditto for account (Nov. 8), 924, 93 •
Three per Cents. Reduced, 914, ; New Threr;
per Cents., pi* ; India Stock, 222* ; ditto
Five per Cent. Stock, 1859, 103*.
Indian government securities were very quiet
The Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 was quoted lAA
to 1064. Exchequer Bills remain dull at 3e. din.

teCridah Bonds were firm. The Loan of 1854 ex-
perienced • further improvement of I per oent.,
closing at 71 to }, whilst that of 1858 was ateady
at yesterday's quotation-67j to 58i. Spanish
Bonds were also film.
Although the @hares of the Ghana Trunk Railway
of Canada to-day were heavy, an advance varying
from 1 to 9 per cent. occurred in the several claws
of bonds. . .

----
Ottoman Bank shares remain firm. The fall in
the exchange at Constantinople is an important
point in favour of this establishment, since such
portion of its capital as is invested in Turkey, being
invested in piastres, becomes proportionately more
valuable. The shares of tho Ohiriered Bank of
'lndia, Australia, and China continue in consider-
able favour, and have risen to lk to 14 premium.
Agra Bank were likewise inquired for. South
Australian Land and Oriental inland Steam shares
were fiat, and Royal Mail Steam firmer. Great
Ship were quoted fie. to ss. 6d.
The closing quotations for shares in new under-
takings were as follow :—Ooaan Marine Insur-
ance, 14 to 24 poem. • Thames and Mersey Marine,
tot prem. ; Universal Marine Insurance, to k
mon. ; London and Provincial Marine, 4 to 4 din.
Bast India Irrigation, 3-16 to 1-16 dia. ; and
Millaall Iron, to 4 prem.
The ordinary " options" of the Bads Central
Railway Company have declined to 34 tot.

Tna EMITIMN Flit/Mts.—The herring fishery
continues to be carried on profitably off the eastern coast.
During the past week several boats 0117110 into Yarmouth,
with 80,000 or 100,000 fish each, while others have taken
30,000 to 50,000. Prime have ranged from BE. to 181. per
last (10,000 fish). Off Loweet3ft stall better results have
been obtained, one boat having come into port with up.
wards .1100,000 gek, although her crew were obliged, from
,beer inability to bring all their treasure to land, to scud
oat of their nests ail lasts more. The Ash taken are also very
6110. Considering the unprofitable results of the mackerel
fishery , and the distress and misery which were entailed
upon the Rabin interest on the east toast by the dreadful
calm, of lisrah end May, the present happy slate of aff sits
bailed with great satisfaction.
