EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1857.

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocz.

The fends are Satter today. At one period a de-
of 1 per Cent. was quoted, and the present
quotations are per cent. below the closing rates of
Saturday. The other departments of the Stock
Exchange are very doll.
Consols have been quoted as low as 931 to for
the sth Feb., and now stand at 931 to 1. For
money the price is 934 to 4. The Three per
Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 93; ; the
New Three per Cents. at 94 to 1 ; Bank Stock at
216 to 218; the New Two-and-a-Half per Cent*. at
78 ; India Stock at 220 to 221 ; Exchequer Bills at
2s. dl.. to 2s. prem. ; and Exchequer Bonds, 1859,
at 981 to 99.
Turkish Six per Cents. are Satter, having been
sold at 95 and 941 for money, and 94; for the 30th
inst. Other foreign securities are neglected. Buenos
Apes Bonds have been dealt in at 881 ; Chiliaa Six
per Cents. at 104; Dutch Two-and-olialf per
Cents, at 644 and 65 (exch. 126.) ; Mexican Bonds
at 211; and Spanish New Deterred Three per
Cents. at 231. Guatemala Five per Cent. Bonds are
also marked 60, showing an improvement.

The amount of
.specie brought by the Baltic
from New York is only 66,000 dole., or about
13,2001. The other imports reported last week have
comprised 12,0001. by the Ripon, from the Mediter-
ranean ; 270,889 dole. (all on French account), by
the Canada, from New York; 30,0001. bigtili!
Madrid, from the Peninsula ; 20,0001. by the
tian, from Constantinople •, and 890,489 dots. by e
Orinoco, from the West Indies. Amongst the im-
ports of silver from the Continent, we also notice
about 11,0001. by the Itavensbourne, and some fifty
or sixty thousand pounds by the Baron Osy, both
from Antwerp.
The total imports of the week are worth about
370,0001.
The Custom-house statement of the exports of the
precious metals direct from London during the week
ending Thursdaugnlimacompriaes a total value of about
48,0001., incl • 12,199 oz. of gold, despatched
almost entirely to Boulogne, and 3,208 on. of silver,
chiefly for the same port.
Including 13,6901. shipped on board the Orinoco,
for the West Indies, the official reports raise the
exports of the week to 81,7001. The private remit-
tames to the Continent have embraced, in addition,
the 64,0001. ex the Canada, the 336,0001. cx the
Montmorency (which, though comprised in our last
weekly summary, only came to hand this week), and,
inclusive of the sums withdrawn on Saturday, tally
160,0001. in gold taken from the Bank of England.
It must be remembered that of the bullion imports
recapitulated above, nearly one-half consists of silver,
destined for transmission to the East. It results
from a consideration of these particulars that the
movement of gold is at present decidedly adverse to
this country.
The steamer Pera, which is to leave South-
ampton to-morrow for Alexandria, will, it is esti-
mated, take out about 363,0001. in specie and bullion,
of which about 333,0001. is silver, and the rest gold.
But for the alteration recently announced by the
India House, it is probable that the remittances
would not have much exceeded 200,000/.

The half-yearly meeting of the Great Western
Railway Company is called for the 13th February.
Viscount Barrington, the chairman, together with
Lord Bateman, the Right Ron. S. H. Walpole,
M.P., and Mr. David 007, retire from the board
by rotation, but are eligible for re-election.
The Great Western Railway, is to be opened
between Yeovil and Weymouth tomorrow, for the
conveyance of passengers, parcels, carriages, and
horse*.
The dock of the London and Brighton Railway
Compaq, advanced between 1 and 2 per cent. on
day. T e announcement of a half-yearly dividend of
sent. has evidently given satisfaction. The di-
I r the corresponding half of 1863 was only
21. 18s. per 1001. s
The half-yearly dividend of the Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincolnshire Railway Company is officially
announced as 105. per 1001. stock, or at the rate of
1 per cent. per annum; leaving • balance of 4,6011.
The dividend for the corresponding half-year of 1863
was ss. per 1001. dock.
A call of 21. per share, making 4/. paid, is to be
paid on the shares of the Sittingbonrne and Sheer-
nese Railway Company by the 10th Feb. In an-
nouncing this call the secretary, states :—" I have to
inform you that it is the intention of the directors to
pay 6 per cent. interest on the above and future calls,
as far as the funds which they may legally appropri-
ate to that purpose will allow."
Mr. llfihrll Slaughter, the able and indefatigable
secretary to the Railways I/epartment of the Stock
Exchange, has just issued No. IX. of his " Railway
Intelligence." The multifarious statistics, derived
from official sources, arc brought down to the 31st
alt. The previous issue of this work were most
valuable ; but in the present number the writer has
introduced many new features of importance, in-
cluding details respecting railway "authorised capi-
tal," debt," " revenue," " direction," he. The
book is truly what Mr. Slaughter describes it, " a
reliable synopsis of railway property."

The tallow market attained an important
advance, last week. The closing quotations this
afternoon were 61s. 6d. to Ole. 9d. on the spot; 625.
end of March; 60e. April; Ma. to end of June; and
338. 9d. for the last three months.
An important advance in the price of wines has
been established since the opening of the year. The
following is from the circular of Messrs. Matthew
Clark and Sons, dated the 16th inst. :
Since our lest there has been a good buskers done in rams
at full price* Jamaica, eepccielly have been taken up, the
supply of rune of quality not being equal to the demand. In
Demerares some choke marks have fetched 3s. proof, and
this price is now generally asked, but a few arrivals this
week have checked the tendency to a further advance. Lee-
ward. and East Indies are held for full rates. Brandies have
not Aimee much activity since our lest ; where sales have
been pressed our quotation. have Dot been reeliweh while
buyers in same instances have had to pay more. Them has
born same business in the older descriptions, and price. for
these may Le quoted fully 3d. per Fallon higher than before.
The principal Cognac bower. still abstain from naming a
price for new brandy. Windt have been in fair demand, but
are not eagerly sought for, holders generally wanting ad-
vanced prices. The lists of shipments from Cadiz and Oporto
have been received and published. The total quantity of
whit, shipped from Cadia in 1856 was 54,662 butts, being
about 11,000 butts more than in 1865; but is only a trills
above the shipments of 1853 and 1864. The shipments to
the United Kingdom in 1856 are stated to be 10,087 butts,
being about SAO butts over last year. Sinn the opens nof
the year several of thekading shipping houses have raised
their prices 31. to 45. per butt. The port shipments mown
to a total quantity of 41,021 pipes, being 7,236 pipee mom
than last year. The shipments to Great Britain amounted
to 29,216 pipes, being an increase sear lad year of 2,1451
pipes. Some of the shipping houses have nixed their pries
nue month 4/. to 6/. per pipe. There have been reread sni-
vels of Capes this week, which are held at full rates.

SATURDAY rTYNINO.

The funds opened this morning eta trifling im-
provement, owing to the favourable Bank return;
but sales were loon premed, sod during the greater
part of the day flatness prevailed. The closing quo-
tations were f per cent. below those of yesterday.
