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 branoh of the national
resources, that of living men.

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. Tne 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, bolt the public and pri..
vale establishments, as well as the Bank 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 Batik, on Satur-
day, comprised an influx of £32,000 in bar gold,
and the withdrawal of 55,000 sovereigns for
Alexandria.

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

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

Telegram, 'the 3 per. cent. French itentes were

. 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 affiirs. Consols for transfer are 891, and
for the account 89k I. The New Threes and Re.,
duccd Annuities are 881,.; ; Annuities, 1885, 141;
Exchequer Bills for March, 4s dis. to par ; India

Iu the Foreign Market there has not been much
animation, but prices in several instances have im-
proved. Spanish Passive have risen to 311 t, and
do. Certificates to 131 I 14 ; Mexican to 291 1 ; do.

Danubian Loan, par to 4 preen; ; the Egyptian, 1 1

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very moderate scale, but quotations ge.
nerally are well supported. Great Eistern have
improved /, and Midland and North Eastern (Bev■
wick), each d ; while North Western have de.
elined
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. Lon-
