Affairs on the London Stock Exchange were
very dull to-day. Two more fannies were an-
nounced, making 7 in all since de " 4th," or
settling day The demand for Mll3ney though
pretty active is notexcessive, and as mcommodation
is freely given on first-class securites, there is no
increase on the stringency.
,Busiwss matters on
the whole are very far from weariig a favourable
appearance, and in some branches of trade there
is almost an entire suspension of sperations. There
is no change for the better to notice in the Produce,
Markets, and in fact dullness, amounting to
almost despondency, is the ruling feature of the I
day.

There was a very buoyant feeling in the market
for the Public Funds and securities this morning,
but afterwards a reaction set in, and prices closed
at a slight decline. Consols opened at 901 to 91
ex div for the Bth January, but rose to 911 The
transfer books are now shut, but transactions are
recorded for Money at 91i to 921 cum div. The
Three per Cent Reduced are narked 901 to 911 ;
the New Three per Cents, 901 b 911-; Bank Stock,
2164 to 218; Exchequer Bones, 1858, 99 to 991 ;
ditto, 1859, 981; and India lbnds, 35s to 33s dis.
At the close of the Market, Consols for the Account
had declined to 914 to 91*.
There is no particular clange to notice in the

With reference o the Silk Market, the course of
which must involte many houses in large losses,
Messrs. Durant ald Co. make the following monthy
report, dated lastevening :
It will not be exycted that we can give any favourable
report of the silk larket, so far less ground for disappoint-
ment. The positan and prospects do not improve. The
only bright spot .et..ms to be in the largely diminished
production, that will operate favourably for those of our
manufacturers Nvio have the courage and means to prepare.
Our prices shot a large reduction upon the last month,
and the deliveies, small as they were, are even barely
supported. Bngal silk participates to the full in the
general depresFon. Italian silk remains a dead letter,
although at cosiderably reduced prices. In Brutia and
Persian silk nthing.
The rate if discount at Hamburg is about ten
per cent., mat accommodation is obtained with
difficulty.
The annunt of silver shipped on board the

Hamburs is about 55,000/. The demand for silver
for remitance to that city continues active.
The (mount of specie shipped up to yesterday
afternom on board the steamer Avon, for the
Brazib, is a few hundred pounds only.
About 20,0001. in silver reached the Thames on
Monday from the Continent.
The precise amount of Specie taken out by the
Alhambra to the Peninsula is 10,632/.
A :fleeting of the creditors of Messrs. Luekman
and Cotchiug, wholesale furriers, &3., who sus-
penied payment on the 23rd ult., was held yester-
day, when a proposition was made to pay 7s. in the
pound. This, however, was not agreed to by the
creditors present. After some discussion it was
agreed to allow the firm one week from the present
date, with a view to their increasing the offer to
8s 6d., and a committee of three creditors was
appointed to report the result to the rest. The
statement of accounts presented by Messrs. Par.
rinton and Ladbury, the accountants, states the
total liabilities at 20,7111., and the assets at 10,1071
Messrs. Lichtenstein and Co., engaged in trade
with the Continent, have stopped payment, with
liabilities estimated at about 80,0001.
