In the money market to-day the tendency was
again favourable. The supply of capital on offer in
the opcn market is more liberal, and, in consequence,
the demand at the Bank of England was to-day only
moderate.
A fresh rise of 1 per cent. was to-day es-
tablished, and the market closed with decided
firmness. The improvement in the money market,
and the satisfactiog intelligence from India, con-
tributed to siren en the market, but the prin-
cipal support is still derived from the absorption of
stock by the public. In consequence, the supply of
money in the Stock Exchange continues extraor-
dinarily abundant, and loans on Consols np to the
December settlement can be obtained at 4 to 5 per
cent.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 90 to 1 for the
7th December, opened this morning at 901 to 1,
receded to 90 to /, and were quoted at 4 o'clock 90/
to 1. For money the price was at the same hour, 90
to 1. After 4 o'clock the quotation for the account
was still rather firmer, at exactly 901. The " con-
tinuation" to the January settlement is per cent.,
inclusive of the income tax ; but it must be remem-
bered that the next account will be an unusually
long one, and that the dividend will be deducted
from the quotation immediately after the settle-
ment of the 7th December. The official business
report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols,for
money, 901, 90, 901, 90, 901; ditto, for account
(7th December), 901, 901, 90, 901 ; Three per Cent.
Reduced, 89, 89/, 881 ; New Three per Cents.,
891, 881, 89/ ; Long Annuities, expiring in Jan.,
1660 1 13-16 ; Thirty Years Annuiti April,
1885, 17 3-16 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exche-
quer Bonds, falling payable in 18.59, 971.
The New Two-and-a-Half per Cents were also offi-
cially marked 75.
Exchequer Bills have again risen 23. to 35., clos-
ing at Bs. to 45. discount. LULA. Bonds were dealt
in at 40s. to 303. dis.
Turkish Six per Cents. remain firm, and were last
quoted 871 to 88. The Guaranteed. Four per Cents.
were also firm at 971 to 1. Other foreign stocks
were steady. but Spanish were rather more offered.
The shares of the leading London jointstock
hanks were to-day in active request, and attained •
further decided recovery. Union Bank of London
shares had risen at the close to 211 to 224;
London and Westminster, to 44 to 46
and Commercial, to 18 to 20. The shares of the
London Joint Stock Bank were also in considerable
demand. Ottoman Bank left off at 161 to 17. Penin-
sular and Oriental steam shares advanced 11. Lon-
don General Omnibus have improved to 31 to 31.
