LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

Thursday Evening.

The Market for English Securities was firm,
probably in some degree secured by no alteration
having been made in the Bank of England rate
of discount. A tendency to advance was indi-
cated and maintained for Consols which were 9.5 a
to h for the January account ; Reduced Three per
Cents. have been dealt in at 954 ; New Three
per Cents., 96 to 951 ; India Debentures, 98 3 ;
ditto "enforced" paper, 96 ; and Exchequer
Bills, 30s. and 29A. pm. New Indian Five per
Cent. Loan is quoted firm, at 1.04.4 to Ocean
Marine Insurance remain steady, at 14 to I pm.
Towards the close the Market sustained a slight
shock by the reception of an unfavourable tele-
graph from Paris ; and Consols are marked NI,-
to for the account.
fn the English Itailway Share Market business
was again rather better, though there was no
increase of business in hese securities. Great
Northerns were .1 per cent. higher. Great
Western, Midland, and London and North
Western have improved each o per cent. South
Easterns are 103. higher per share.
The Market for Foreign Securities has \ been
very dull, but values are generally well supported:
Mexicans have improved 1, per cent., Spanish are
steady at previous quotations, and the New
Turkish Sixes have zealised 644.

The French Renter on the Paris Bourse were
first quoted 09f. 70c., whence they declined to
69f. hue., and again to 69f. 50c., with a flat
market.

I'he following appeared in a portion of our im-
pression of yesterday :

COMMERCIAL.

Although the public markets in Mincing-lane are
closed until Tuesday next, a considerable amount of busi-
ness is going forward in sugar and coffee, at full prices.

THE 'MONEY MARKET.

The English Funds opened this morning at the dull
prices of the last two days, but subsequently experienced
an improvement of I, although the accounts from the
Paris Bourse were unfavourable, and there was a slight
withdrawal of gold from the Bank. As the year ap-
proaches its close the demand for discount becomes more
active, and in the open market nothing is done below
24 per cent. There is, however, at present, no appear-
ance of pressure.—Tinics.
The funds opened with a dull appearance, but main-
tained last week's quotations, notwithstanding news that
the French three per cents. had opened at a fresh fall of
per cent. A partial recovery being recorded from
Paris in the afternoop, consols advanced per cent.
After recognised hours, another rise ofd took place, at
which the market closed with firmness. Great support
is still derived. from the anticipation of the payment of
the January dividends. In the share market, attention
was chiefly directed to the settlement, preparations for
which commenced this day. Great steadiness continues
to prevail. The demand for money in Lombard-street
was active, and the supply was somewhat limited. No
business was done below 23 per cent. In the absence
of arrivals from America and Australia, £44,000 in bar
gold was withdrawn from the Bank for the Continent.
_Daily News.

The Tinies city article says, yesterday the railway
market was again very firm all day, from the scarcity of
stock and the renewed. demand, both speculative and
bona fide. The arrangements for the settlement com-
menced in the morning, and the rates for carrying over
purchases to the new account iu January were moderate
at first ; but in the case of London and North Western,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, Caladonian, and South East-
ern, afterwards increased. The two latter descriptions
and Great Western, appear chiefly in speculative request.
After official hours the tendency continued favourable.
