tive knowledge, that there is no diversity among the
people.

In affording the people the fair opportunity of showing
one to another, and to the world, this firmness and unani-
mity of purpose, the election has been of vast value to the
national cause. The election has exhibited another fact not
less valuable to be known—the fact that we do not approach
exhaustion in the most important branch of the national
resources, that of living men.

MONEY MARKET

AND

90MMIILCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is assuming a condition of
great stringency. For a time there are little hopes
of the rates receding. The end of the quarter, and
particularly of the year, is always a period when
the commercial classes have to seek the indulgence
of their discount brokers, The numberless accounts
to be settled, and the entering into new engagements
are sure to bring into circulation a large amount of
mercantile paper. To day, both the public and pri-
vate establishments, as well as the /lAA of England,
have transacted a large amount of business. The
brokers have been latterly much pressed for accom-
modation, and their available resources have conse-
quently been greatly diminished. The rates out
of doors have therefore been very firm, and the
lowest quotation has been equal to the official mini.
mum of 6 per cent.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week represent that business in most
departments has remained very quiet. At Man-
chester prices of both cloths and yarns have been
without change of importance, although there was
a slight tendency to improvement. The woollen
trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been
dull consequent upon the weather; while at Lei-
ceister and Nottingham there has been less activity.
In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been no material
change.
The bullion operations at the Bark, on Satur-
day, comprised an influx of £32,00u in bar gold,
and the withdrawal of 55,000 sovereigns for
Alexandria.

Tha Asia, from New York, has brought £6,163.

The scrip certificates of the United Danubian
Principalities Loan, 1864, are now ready for deli-
very in exchange for the letters of allotment at
the Imperial Ottoman Bank, New Bank-buildings,
LothburT.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
Telegram, the 3 per cent. French Rentes were
65f. 30c. Firm.

With the appearance of Christmas there is the
usual curtailment of business in all the Stock Ex.
change markets, but the inactivity of speculation,
and the limited dealings of the investing public.
do not induce their customary depreciation, as
prices are deriving much support from the late im-
provement in money and the quiescent position of
political affairs. Consols for transfer are 891, and
for the account 89k The New Threes and Re.
duced Annuities are 881, ; Annuities, 1885, 14;;
Exchequer Bills for March, 4s dis. to par; India
5 per Cents, 103; Debentures, 98 ; and the Bonds,
3s 53 prem.
In the Foreign Market there has not been much
animation, but prices in several instances have im.
proved. Spanish Passive have risen to 311 I, and
do. CertifiCates to 131 1 14 ; Mexican to 294 4 ; do.
New to 27-Z Z. Greek are 221 23i; the Confede.
rate Loan, 61 63 ; Turkish Consolides, 471 I; the
Danubian. Loan, par to 4 prem.; the Egyptian, 1
prem. ; and the Montevidean, 11 prem.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very moderate scale, but quotations ge.
nerally are well supported. Great Eastern have
improved *, and Midland and North Eastern (Bera
wick), each k; while North Western have de-
clined 1.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. Lon-
don and County realise 811; Bank of New Zea-
land, 168 ; National Discount, 15f 16k.
