BRADFORD CHARM OP 00JUIRROR
At the meeting of this chamber oa Thursday
a letter was reed from Kr. Cobden, thanking the coon.
MI for the rewilutiou passed at the previous nicet-
Mg, and the hoop gentleman said :-• "The taok which
was entrosted to roe and my lesgnus and the Paris corn-
missiosen, of arranging the of the French tariff,
would have been wholly beyond oar powers had not the
British Cliamben of Commerce, almost without exceptioe,
shwa the first commencement of the treaty. and, ootwith•
Maid the disoouragerneat which polkiod partisasahip
mad the wen threw I. their way, Wee& their practical
knowledge and imprison to our aid. h this seaport he
fait particularly Indebted to the_intnthisak
which paid 1.14 repealed visits from Bradford." The Been-
=the Bradford Chamber read the following ODlAlMUli-
received from the Board .4 Trade :

" Ilakoiladi,July 11. IfitiO.
" Sir, —With ',gent to British nierchaediee saleable in
Maki"Lodi, of which we spoke • few days ago, we beg to
mention the following articles, namely: Candets, shirtioga
drills, printed gingham, flannel., moms, and window glass.
We Are of opinion that very large quantities of the latter
mentioned article would sell to • good advantage, as the
Japanese merchante here informed us that they have calcu-
lated and coasitlered over the matter, and have come to the
conclusion that window glom would be almost as economical,
sad certainly preferable for their windows. We have mado
strict inquiry with regard tothe vale of &KIM canvas for the
ue of Japanese junk*, sad Ind that if it could be supplied to
them at reasonable prices, it would be generally adopted,
rise Hoe. I, 2, 3. Printed Cottons : Small patterns, and
pudy colours, are in general demand. Flume' Goods :
A small yearly supply, say eighty to one hundred bales,
would sell for ttie use of the natives of Yeso ; it
would be requisite to supply something durable and
not too expensive ; bine preferred. Drills are at pre-
sent sold in large quantities ; colours blue and white.
Candela are in great and general demand . • dark
green and blue preferred. Shirting', bleached anal un-
bleached ; gingham in all patterns, colour immaterial. In
conclusion, we beg to add that the Japanese (who, silica
their interoourse with foreigners, have received such enor-
mous prices for their exports) have, in • great measure, neg-
lected their home manufacture and devoted their time to
the production of articles for exportation ; and, as a matter
of course, the at present large amount of exports will, in
time, cause the demand of an equal amount of imports in
return.—We beg, &c.,
(Signed) "STEPHENSON, WILNIZ, AND CO."

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLocs.

The funds are again better to-day, having Seen
favourably influenced by re-purchases to cover the
accounts of previous speculative sellers. The transfer
books for Consols being now shut, the transactions
are almost exclusively of a speculative °bander. A
fresh rise of a per cent. has occurred, and the
market is firm in character. In the share markets

firmness is likewise observable, but, owing to the
languor of business, there is little feature of in-
terest, with the exception of the continued demand
for Pernambuco and Grand Trunk of Canada Rail-
way shares.
The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not yet come to hand, neither has intelligence yet
reached London of the total amount of the ship-
ments of specie by the Persia, which sailed this
day for New York.
Consols are officially marked 931, 941, and
931 for money (though the books are shut),
and 93 and 921, ex div., for the account (Jan. 10).
The present quotation is 921 to 93, ex div.
for January (being equal to 94% to } cum div.).
The official business report is as follows :—Bank
Stock, 232; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, ;
New Three per Cents., 921, 1, ; India Five
per Cent. stock, 1859, 103} ; ditto Four per
Cent. Debentures, 1868, 96t} ; ditto Bonds,
10s., fn., dis. ; Exchequer Bills, 35., 6s. die.
Very few transactions have occurred in the

foreign stock market, and prices present scarcely
any variation. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is
quoted 721 to f, and that of 1868, 681 to 59. Sales
are recorded as follows: Brazilian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 871, 1,
ex div. ; New Granada Deferred, 6 ; Spa-
nish Three per Cents., for account, 501 ; the
Committee's Certificates, 61; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1864, for account, 721 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858,
681.. . .

The Anglaise& has arrived from Melbourne with
230,0001. in gold.

HALT-CAST Two o'CLocs.
Consols remain quoted 94 to 93, ex div., for the
10th of January.
The number of sovereigns withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday for shipment to New
York by the Persia to-day was fully 80,000, iu addi-
tion to the 70,000 mentioned yesterday. A fur-
ther large amount was withdrawn yesterday
from the Liverpool branch. It is therefore com-
puted that the total shipments by the Persia will
reach about 400,0001. In consequence of the mag-
nitude of the amount the rate of insurance, which

was on Thursday Bs. Bd. per cent., has risen, 10s.
having been paid yesterday in several instances.
In the discount market yesterday an active de-
mand was experienced at 41to 5 per cent. for the
beat bills. At the Bank of England the applica-
tions were to a considerable amount,

Three-fourths of the 293,5001. in gold by the
Suffolk, from Melbourne, has been gold for the
continent, having been engaged some time back. It
is believed to have been purchased for the Bank of
France.

In the foreign exchanges this afternoon there
was no variation of much importance. The ten-
dency of the Austrian exchange is still upwards.
Subjoined is our usual list :
Amsterdam, 3 mouths, 11.171 to • ditto, 3 days, 11.15
to 156 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.176 to I ; Antwerp,
3 months 25.35 to 40 ; Hamburg, ma. bum, 3 months,
13.66 to 7 ; Pare, 3 days sight, 25.176 to 25 ; ditto,
3 months, 25.45 to 50 • Franktart-cm.the-Mable, 3
month., 1171 to f ; Pstersinrg (per rouble), 3 months,
341 to 3 months, 14.50 to 60 ;
Trieste 3 months, 14.50 to 60 ; Madrid, 3 months,
49 to ; 3 moths, 496 to I ; Leghorn, 3 months,
25.64 to 70 ; Goma, 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ; Milan, 3 months,
25.576 to 62f ; 3 mouths, 391 to f ; Palermo, 3
moot* 119 to 1; Moons, 3 months, 119 to I ; Lisboa,
90 days, 521 to 53 , • Oporto, 90 days, 53 to 6.

The Adria.. from Constantinople report three or
four mercantile failures in that city, but they do
not appear to be of much importance.
At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Stephen C.
Agelasto, Greek merchant, of Manchester, held
on Thursday, a balance-sheet was presented showing
liabilities amounting to 58,4481. and assets to
41,2881. Mr. Agelasto's capital on the Ist January,
1860, was stated to be 10,6001. It was resolved to
accept a composition of 14s. in the pound, without
security, payable in instalments extending over
twelve months. There is to be a Committee of In-
spection at Constantinople.
The colonial wool sales terminated yesterday.
It is rumoured, in well-informed quarters, that
the forthcoming dividends on some of the principal
British railway stocks will probably be at the fol-
lowing satisfactory rates, viz. : Great Western, 4
per cent. per annum ; North Eastern, Berwick, 4
to 6 per cent. per annum • Midland, 7 to 7} per
cent. per annum ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 6to
6
per cent per annum ; and London and North
Western, 61 to 4 per oent. per annum.
. . _

The arrangements are notified in connexion with
the payment of the half-year's interest on the
shares of the &bide Railway, Indus Steam Flotilla,
and Punjaub Railway.
The annual meeting of shareholders in the Lon-
don and Westminster Bank is called for the 16th
January.
The Hero has arrived from China, with 801,1001 Ni.
of tea.

The Emigration Commissioners require a ship to
take passengers to Sydney, N.S. W.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Dec. 5, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes :
Circulation Mine 227,405,175 Decreuo 2131,400
Circulation active
Public deposits 6,617,485 Increase 101,873
Other deposits 12,472,348 Decrease 893,902
Government secsurielee to

Otherescurities in banking
department
Coin and bullion in both
departments 13,665,666 Decrease 194,710
Seven day sad other bills 716,518 Increase 666
The Rest
Notes in reserve
Total reserve (noteskeein)
in banking depertment 7,933,577 Decrease 501,584
The decrease in the reserve is caused principally
by the large withdrawals of private deposits—a
movement strongly indicative of the increased de-
mand for money in commercial channels. The
falling off in the specie and bullion is smaller than
was expected, but there have been some considera-
ble withdrawals since the date to which this return
extends. The increase in the silver bullion re-
ceived from the Bank of France is from 338,4961.,
the amount stated in the last return.
The Gazette statement of the movements of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday
last gives the following totals, viz.: Imports of gold,
12,6211. ; exports of gold, 203,4341. ; imports of
silver, 318,6381. ; exports of silver, 83,9371.

Indian Government securities were quiet.
Exchequer Bills declined L'., closing at Gs. to 3s.

In the foreign stock market the principal feature
was a brisk demand for the bonds of 1001. of the
Turkish Loan of 1858, for which as much as 63
and 64 was bid, although the price for the larger
sized bonds remained at 58i to 59. The T•:rkwh
Loan of 1854 was quiet, at 72} to f. Spanish
Bonds were in demand and better. . .

There was an improvement in Bank of Egypt

flat. In the iniseellaneolei share market the only
alteration was an improvement in Peninsular and
' Oriental Steam.
