MONETARY DEPORTS.--Y STERDAY.

• The stock markets to-day have been characterised by
much quietness, owing in a great measure to fate.itimi
being chiefly directed to the fortnightly settlement of
shares and foreign bonds. Heaviness, however, has also
been ingendered by the threatened complications with re:.
gard to Luxemburg. Railway stocks with the exception
of Caledonian and North Eastern, which have been dealt
in at a slight improvement, havo been dull and
lower in value. Foreign Bonds have likewise
been depressed, a further fractional reduction
being observable in Egyptian, Italian, Spanish, and
Turkish. The French loan, at the same time, has been
depressed, and per sent. lower, at dis. to prem. In
the market for Home Government Securities next to
nothing has been doing. Consols have been.dull, and *
per cent, lower, at 94 ex div., for delivery; and 910, 91. E
ex div., for January. Reduced and New. Three per Cents.,
911, 91a ; Bank Stock, 231, 232 ; Exchequer Bills, 10,3. to
15s. prem. ; India Five per Cents., 110, 111; and India
Bonds, ?..2s. to 275. prem.
Business in the market for English railway stocks has
been on a limited scale, and the bulk of the alterations.
have been unfavourable. Metropolitan has fallen or
63, 631; and Great Northern A, 1, or to 1341, 135 ;
Brighton, at 402, 41i ; South Eastern, 74k, 74 ; Great
Eastern at 381, 38; and Great Western at 69,i, 701,
are each lower. On the other hand, Caledonian at
85, 851, and North Eastern at 144, 1441, are 1 and
better respectively.

In Indian railway stocks the transactions have been
limited. Bombay, Buroda, and Central India, 105, 105 ;
East Indian, 1101 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 1071, 108 ;
Madras, 105, 1051 ; Oude and Rohilkund, 103, 1031 ; and
Scinde, 103, 1031.
Canadian shares have been quiet. Great Western, 14.
Foreign shares have been in limited request. Bahia
and San Francisco, 18i, 18R ; Lombards, 14} ; San
Paulo, 21.

• The Foreign Bond market has been dull, and the move-
ments have all been in an adverse direction. Peru-
vian (1865) have fallen or to 91, 913 ; Egyptian
(1868) or to 76i, 77i ; Italian (1861)
or 55k, 55i ; Spanish (1867) *, or 31, 31i ; ditto,
(1869) or 393, 31; Turkish Five per Cents. 433,
44i ; ditto (1869) f, or 50, 50i ; and Mexican *, or to 13f,
14. American securities have been quiets The Five-
Twenty (1882) Bonds have been done at 84, ssg ; ditto
(1885), 87i, 88i.
The demand for Bank sham has been on a limited
scale,. Anglo-Egyptian, 203, 21; Imperial Ottoman, 113,
12 ; London and Westminster, 633; and Union of Aus-
tralia, 413.
In telegraph shares the business doing has been only
moderate. Anglo-American, 79; British Indian Sub-
marina, 6, 63 ; Falmouths, 91.
For Miscellaneous securities there has been but little
inquiry. General Steam Navigation, 281- ; and National
Discount, pi.
The sum of £9,000 in sovereigns has been sent into the
Bank from Hamburg.
In the rates of foreign exchange no alteration has been
noticed.

The discount market has continued to bo characterised
by much quietness. There has been a large supply of
capital lying idle, for which no adequate employment is
offered. An increase in the inquiry may now he expected
owing to the approaching close of the year, but it is doubt-
ful whether it will be maintained, as the payment of the
dividends in January will throw additional supplies on
the market. Today three months' paper has been taken
at 21 per cent.

The Douro, from the Brazils, has brought £55,599 in
specie, and 'the Calabria, from New York, £lO,OOO in
specie.
The Germany has arrived at Lisbon, from South
America, with £50,000 in specie.
The steamers which left New York on Saturday last
took out £85,000 in specie.

The report of the North Metropolitan Tramways
Company shows that the gross receipts on the road from
Whitechapel Church to Bow Church, a distance of
two and a-half miles, which was completed at an
expenditure of X 46,500, amounted to £8,557 during the
first six months, whilst the working expenses were £4,632,
having a net profit of £3,924, out of which the directors
recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 12
per cent., which will absorb 22,790, and leave £1,134 to
be carried forward. The number of passengers carried
was 1,053,151. The directors expect to open the line as
far as Stratford by the middle of January, and the
authorized line along Moorgate-street, City-road, and
Islington to Highbnry and Highgate early in the ensuing
summer.

It is understood that the North German Five per Cent.
Loan will be introduced on Wednesday next by the
London Joint Stock Bank, and that, out of the
£7,500,000 contracted for, the'portion offered in London
will be £3,000,000. As is usual with war loans, it is ex-
pected that the instalments will be promptly called up.
The following is from the Eclipse Gold Mining Com-
pany, Limited :—Captain Barrett reports respecting the
general operations :—" Since my last we have resumed the
sinking of the main shaft below the 160 feet level, lode
three feet wide, composed of quartz, iron pyrites, the
oxide of iron, and gold in sufficient quantity for"the mill.
This lode in the last six feet sinking has greatly
improved, and indicates further improvement. I
believe we shall soon have a very rich lode in this shaft.
In the stopes in the back of the 100 feet level, north of
main shift, the lode is several feet wide, of milling ore.
Two men only are engaged here, but when our new staff
arrive we shall force on all the most prominent points
with vigour. The whim and railways in the mine are
working well, and established mining has commenced,
which will be carried on without hindrance."
