According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent.
French Renter were quoted at 68f. 37c. Inanimate.
There is a holiday at the Stock Exchange, and
consequently nothing to report in connection with
the funds, foreign bonds, and railway shares.
Very little activity prevails in the discount
market.

It is notified that in consequence of the holidays
intervening the subscription list of the Anglo-
Danish and Baltic Steam Navigation Company
will be kept open till Tuesday, 2d January next.
During the past week the movements of the pre-
cious metals have been on a rather extensive scale,
owing to large arrivals from Australia. The im-
ports have amounted to about £817,843 ; while the
exports, o wing to large remittances to the Conti-
nent, have been to the extent of £548,791.

The letters of allotment of Charles Laffitte and
Co. were posted last evening.
The traffic receipts of the Metropolitan Extension
Railways of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way Company this week show an increase of £BOO
over the corresponding week of last year.

The directors of the Provision Merchants' Com-
pany have this day allotted the entire of the 5,000
shares constituting their capital of £lOO,OOO.
The Merchants' Company have made a call of
£5 per share, payable on or before the 15th
proximo. It is stated that it is not intended to make
any further call during the year 1866, but share-
holders can, if they desire it, pay up an additional
£5 and become entitled to a minimum guaranteed
interest of 10 per cent. per annum, provided notice
of such intention be given to the Company on or
before the 15th of January next.
