The Money Market is a little easier. There is
less enquiries for cash accommodation at the Bank
of England, and in Lombard street. Approved
commercial bills are in some instances discounted
at a fraction below the minimum quotation. The
Funds have been at further enhanced quotations,
and the transactions are rather extensive, but this
improvement is not supported with firmness.
After such an important rise, however, and con-
sidering the high range of prices, a little fluctuation
is not to be wondered at; but the general position
of the market appears buoyant. Consols have been
93 y for money. 931 94 for the December account,
and 941 11- for January. The present values are
about 931 j for money, and 931 for the next
account, being flatter. The New 3 per Cents. have
been 921 I, the Reduced 922 I. Exchequer Bills 1
dis. to 1 prem., and the Bonds 98'4 t. Bank Stock
is 216.

The Grain Trade continues to manifest a dull
and further declining tendency. This remark ap-
plies to all the leading markets throughout the
United Kingdom. Since the beginning of the
week, the receipts from Ireland have been to a
fair extent, but those from foreign parts were light.
The last weekly average declared, are—Wheat,
65s 3d. Barley, 40s Bd. Oats, 26s sd. Rye, 40s
4d. Beans, 465. Pe ise, 45s Ad per quarter.
During the past week the mar!iets for foreign
and colonial produce have beon rather quiet, and
the sales effected have been made to satisfy imme-
diate requirements. For sugar a dull market has
prevailed, and a decline in prices of 6d per cwt.
has occurred where sales have been pressed.
Coffee has not been much enquired for, but common
plantation Ceylon has maintained full prices.
Trinidad cocoa is is to 2s per cwt. cheaper ; rico
has advanced, and tea has supported previous
values, although the dealings have been limited.
Tallow has been dull.
Trade in Manchester continues tame, and the
transactions in both goods and yarns are of the
most limited character. Had producers been dis-
posed to accept rather lower terms to day, the
transactions would have been to a greater extent.
.At Bradford, yesterday, there was more activity in
the piece goods trade. Our correspondent there
advises us that the home houses are giving out a
few orders for next season, and the foreign trade
also presents a livelier aspect. Still the prices
obtainable for goods are not paying manufac-
turers, and it is impossible they can go on
at present rates, in face of the advancing wool
market. Altogether the day's proceedings had
been larger than for some time past. During the
last Yew weeks the make of pig iron in the Birming-
ham district has been lessened, about half a score
furnaces having been blown out ; and, with the
view to restore the trade in that branch of it to a
more healthy tone, the number of furnaces in blast
will be further reduced between this and Christmas.
When this contemplated reduction has taken place
the make of pig iron will still be large; and it is
remarkable that although the trade, and especially
the export part of it, has been generally reported
dull for the last eight or nine months, the stocks
of pigs are comparatively trifling, and are confined
to very inferior descriptions, containing a large
proportion of cinder. That the export trade of
iron is greatly increasing, and that this has taken
place to an unprecedented extent in the course of
the present year, is shown by the export tables for
the last nine months. These results are sufficient
to indicate that there is a vast shipping trade still
undeveloped ; and they are remarkable as affording
evidence of the immense means of production in
the district, because it must be noted that during,
the whole period over which these returns run,
complaints have been general on the part of the,
trade that the export trade (to America espe
cially) was unusually small.
In the advises received this • morning from
France, the particulars of the trade of the country
during the month of October are furnished. In
that period the customs receipts increased to
16,220,000 f, against 13,187,000 f in the correspond.
ing month, of 1855. This addition has been
produced by large importations of corn, coffee,
foreign sugars, oil, grain, cotton, wool, raw iron,
iron in bars, pewter, lead, tallow, silk, Ste. There
were also larger exports of wines and alcohol,
refined sugar, machinery, cotton and silk fabrics,.
porcelain wares, &c. The navigation returns give
the arrivals of ships in the ten months of this
year at 21,868, and the departaires at 12,183 of
1,920,203 tons, showing a material augmentation
compared with the previous year.
The London Periodical Sales of Colonial Wool,
which commenced on 023- Oth inst., have attracted
a very large attendance of Home and Foreign
buyers, and the biddings for the finer description
of scoured and combing wools, particularly from
Sydney and Moreton Bay, have been very
animated. The rates realised at the opening on
the 6th inst have, in all instances, been well
maintained. The quantity so offered at these sales
was about 49,000 bales, about half of which have
already been disposed of. They conclude on the
29th inst.
