Ms'NEY MARKET

'.:`,OIII.TVIER,O' 1, ENTET,T,T7.RI,TO,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The business of the week in the discount market
is closing very quietly. Only a small amount of
paper is on offer, and the rates show no deviation
from the recent scale for the various qualities of
commercial bills.

Gold amounting to £15,000 was received yester-
day at the bullion-office of the Bank. There is no
change to report in the silver market.
The Noveau Monle, from Mexico, has arrived at
St. Nazaire with 1,000,000 francs.

The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway
for the week ending Oct. 28 amounted to £38,423,
while for the corresponding week in the previous
year they were £44,696, showing a decrease of
£6,204. •

The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great
'Western Railway for' the month of November,

amounted to $197,250 against $614,842 in the cor•
responding period last year.

During the past week the specie movements have
been on a very limited scale. The imports have
only amounted to about £165,670, including
£54,406 from New York by the City of Paris, and
£59,065 by tile America. The Poonah, from
Alexandria, has brought £4,734 ; the Douro, from
the Brazils, £45,425, and about £2,040 in silver has
been received from the continent. The exports have
been £625 to Bombay by the Syria, and there have
been remittances to the continent through private
sources estimated at £155,898, the total amounting
to £156,523.

Two o'CLocr.

Transactions at the Stock Exchange have been
reduced to a very narrow compass. Yesterday
there was a reaction of + per cent., and to-day a
similar movement has taken place, the quotations
being 871 to 90 for money and the account ;
this is wholly to be attributed to the closing
of " Bull " accounts, the recent advance
offering profits too tempting to be resisted.
There is nothing in the present aspect of political
or monetary affairs to warrant any depression.
The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced An-
nuities hold their ground, and are comparatively
firm, the former being 891, and the latter also 898.
Exchequer Bills are 7s. to 10s. prem. ; the 5 per
Cent. Indian Loaa 1071 1 ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper 100+ ; and the Bonds at 22 25 prem.
Foreign Securities have been very dull, but the
tendency of prices has been favourable. Mexican
advanced k to 181 I ; Greek Bonds, + to 141 15 ;
Spanish Passive, 11 to 21} a ; the Certificates,
to 141 :41 ; and the Italian Loan, 1861, Ito 55+ ;
while Turkish 5 per Cents. have declined + to 311 I.
In the Railway Share Market business has been
rather inactive, and prices generally exhibit less
firmness. North-Western and South-Eastern have
each receded I, Great Eastern and Midland each
1, Great Western and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln each and Great Northern and Metro-
politan each 1.
The foreign and colonial lines continue in mode-
rate request, at steady rates.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are steady, at 53 55, but the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds have declined to 40i 41.
Bank Shares are quiet. Alliance are marked
19 191 ; Metropolitan, 11 111 ; Oriental Bank,
42i ; and Union of London, 45.
Miscellaneous and Finance Shares are generally a
shade flatter. Credit Foncier of England are dealt
in at 3i ; Egyptian Trading Company, at 5 ;
London Financial, at 10 ; Anglo-American Tele-
graph Company, at 153- 151 ; Atlantic Telegraph
8 per Cents., at 70 72i.
