The Market for the Public Funds and Securities
has been very buoyant to-lay. In the Money
Market an advance of 4 per cent. took place, but
afterwards a reaction set in. Towards the
close, however, the same strong feeling which was
prevalent in the morning again set in, and Consols
closed at a high figure, viz., 924 to 93.
Great satisfaction is expressed in all quarters at
the changes shown in the Bank return ; for, al-
though the extraordinary totals presented under
the heads of private deposits and private
securities indicate that the derangement of
the ordinary course of affairs is only slowly sub-
siding, the Bank's resources are proved to
be attaining a position which renders a
speedy reduction in the rates of discount certain,
-The abundance of Money, and ease in the Dis.
count Market, become more decided from day to
day. Good Bills are readily discounted at 9to 91
per cent; and in exceptional cases choice paper
has been done as low as 8 per cent. Inconsequence,
the applications at the Bank are upon a very
moderate scale, at a time when the repayments
falling due there are very large.
In the Stock Exchange the rates for Loans on
Government Securities may be quoted at 5 per
cent from day to day, and 6 per cent up to th'
January settlement. The supply of Money
seeking employment in this channel is very con-
siderable.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.-DEC. 21.

The demand for gool 1855's at about 30s, and 1856's at about 40s
per cwt., continues unabated. It is reported that the hop growers
are grubbing extensively, and sowing whe It, the weather being so
favourable; and also that they are buying 1855 and 1856 hops on
speculation, rather than go on chltivating them as they hove done
for the last tour years, at a most serious loss. Fine 1857's are also
more in demand than is usual at this period of the year, owing to the
lowness of prices.

GLENFIELD PATENT STARCH, used in the
Royal Laundry. The ladies are respectuliy informed
that this Starch is exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and Her
Majesty's Laundress says, that although she has tried wheaten,riee,
and other Powder Starches, she has found none of them equal to
the Glenfleld, which is the Finest Starch she ever used. When
you ask for GlenSeld Patent Starch, see that you get it, as Inferior
kinds are often substituted. Wotherspoon and Co., Glasgow and

There has been a good business done in the
London .Railway Share Market to-day, and prices
show an advancing tendency. The following were

A petition in bankruptcy was filed on Saturday
against Messrs. Jonathan Hills and Son, partners
in the Gravesend and Dartford Bank. In con-
nection with this case very unsatisfactory dis
closures are anticipated; but, fortunately, the
liabilities are not large—viz., X 30,000 or £40,000
The London and County Bank have now opened
a sub-branch at Dartford, under the superinten-
dence of Mr. T. E Pittock, the company's
manager at Gravesend. The local inconvenience
occasioned by the failures of Messrs. Hills and
Son, will thus be mitigated.
A decided change has taken place in the Money
Market at Hamburgh. The supply of money is
increasing, whilst that of bills is diminishing:
consequently, the rates of discount for the best
paper have fallen to 44 and 5 per cent. The local
journals contain numerous advertisements from
firms who, being disinclined to employ their money
in the ordinary channels, offer to discount their
own acceptances

LONDON CATTLE MARKET. - DEC. 21.

The number of beasts is large for the day.. The butchers generally
having purchased their Christmas stock, trade is dull, and prices on
the average are rather lower. The supply of sheep is small, so also
is the demand. Monday's quotations are pretty well maintained,
although trade is slow. Good calves are scarce and dear. From
Germany and Holland there are 120 beasts, 330 sheep, and 40 calves ;
Spain, 26C beasts; Scotland, 750; Ireland, 240, and 160 sheep; and
500 beasts from the northern and midland counties.
