by the Alhambra, which will leave Southampton for
the Penis=la to-day, is only 3,8001.
The total exports of the week are thus raised
to nearly 740,0001., but it is a remarkable fact
that this large sum consisted almost entirely of
silver. Some parcels of sovereigns have also been
exported to buy silver destined for Hamburg, and
this circumstance assists in explaining the com-
parative smallness of the addition to the bullion, as
shown in the Bank return.
The following vessels are known to be itetaally on
the way from Australia to this oountry, with cold on
board :

The fonds throughout the day exhibited firm-
ness the Bank return being interpreted as ex-
hibiting a gradual improvement; and the closing
quotations were 1-18 to 4 per cent. chore the im-
proved rates which were established late yesterday
afternoon. The dealers in the market I,rConsole-
were occupied to some extent with prepantians for
the settlement, which is fixed for Monday.. In all,
City circles last night's debates in parliament gave
rise to numeroas discussions.
At the Bank of England to-day the demand for
money was rather quiet. The appearance• of the
general discount market is steady and, spat the
whole, satisfactory, despite the cheek givetrto re-
turning confidence by the cestinued failures, and by
the panic in the north of Europe.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 911, " buyers,"
for money and Monday's settlement, were to-day
alternately " buyers" and "sellers" at 9lf. The
last quotation was exactly 911; but after the close
of the Stock Exchange that figure was offered for
stock. For the Bth of January. the last price was
924 to 1, or equal to 901 to 1, minus the half-yearly
dividend, which will be deducted from the price
next week. The " continuation " to January was •
somewhat lighter, at 11-18 per cent., or shoat 8 to •
84 per cent. per annum. At such high rates many
persons are tempted to employ money in loans on
Console, especially those who have large balances
lying idle. The official business report is as follows :
—Three per Cent. Couch, for money, 914, 1,1, ?,11
ditto, for account (7th December), 911, 914 ; Three
per Cents. Reduced, 904, 901; New Three per
Cents., 901, I, ; Bank Stock, 218 ; India Bonds,
33a. die.

The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were also
officially marked 98.
Eper.xchequer Bills remain quoted 4s. diseount
to
Turkish Six per Cents. were again in demand to-
day, and had improved at the close to 92 to I.
The Guaranteed Four per Cents. remain firm, at
99 to I. Mexican Bonds were weaker, and other
foreign stocks quiet. Sales are recorded as follows :
foreign stocks quiet.
To-day the demand for silver for Hamburg con-
tinued active, bat, pending the delivery of the
supply ex thiOrinoco, there is none in the market.
Some further small parcels of gold were sent to-day
to the Continent to buy silver for that city. To
facilitate these operations, holders of American and
other securities in Hamburg are selling them in the
London market

quiet. Great Wheal Alfred shares have been dealt
in at 4i, and Wheal Trelawney at 231. For other
stocks the inquiry is limited, and there is little
change in price.
In foreign shares the transactions have been
chiefly confined to St. John del Rey at 101 to 101,
and Lobes Copper at 39.
Subjoined is the official list of closing prices in
the Mining Exchange on Saturday :
