About £40,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of England yesterday.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday the rates
were generally slightly higher.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday pre-
sented a very steady appearance, and 7,000 bales
were sold at previous quotations.
As usual, at the commencement of a new year,
the financial and mercantile community are taking
into consideration the general prospects of mone-
tary and commercial affairs. As far as can be
judged at present these are of a very en-
couraging character. A rapid return of ac-
tivity in business is scarcely anticipated, but
a hope is entertained that the improvement
-which has already commenced will be further
developed during the next twelve months. Indeed,
no doubt whatever can be felt on this point, unless,
unfortunately, political affairs should assume an
unsatisfactory appearance. An extreme degree of
caution is still exercised in all branches
of trade, but our relations with distant - mar-
kets, as well as throughout Europe, are
being gradually renewed, and as confidence
increases there is reason to believe that operations
will extend until the condition of commerce will
bear comparison with former years. Amongst
capitalists the contemplated negotiation of loans,
which, taken at their estimated amounts, give a-total
of £30,000,000, are anxiously discussed, and some
of the flatness now noticed at the Stock Exchange
may be attributed to the influence which it is supposed
these projects will exercise upon the state of the
Money Market. It must still be remembered,however,
that there is a plethora of capital, and that the
diversion of a moderate quantity to foreign coun-
tries, if the payments should be spread over a
lengthened period, can scarcely be expected to
produce any return of stringency to the prejudice of 7
commercial enterprise.
The fluctuations in the bullion at the Bank of
England during the past year have been important.
On the 6th of January it stood at £12,643,193, but
on the 6th 'October it amounted to £19,526,475.
In the " other securities" the alterations have also
been considerable. On January 6th they were
£25,661,066, but on the 2d of June they only exhi-
bited a total of £14,579,458.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £892,654, and the exports have com-
prised the following shipments direct from London
to the Continent during the week ending Thurs-
day last :---Gold coin (Boulogne), 260 ounces ; bars
(Hambro), 8,186 ounces; silver coin (Boulogne),
3,200 ounces.
The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought
£186,427 in specie, and the Persia, from the United
States, £137,083.
There has been very little speculative business in
the Stock Exchange Markets today. The Com-
mittee might just as well have adopted the sugges-
tion that the House should be closed like the Paris
Bourse on New Year's-day. The Funds are rather
flat, partly in consequence of the demand for
money, which has rendered the Bank return less
favourable than its predecessors. Consols are about
96a 1. The New Threes are 96;- 97}, and the Re-
duced 97 to 97f. Exchequer Bills are about 375.

In the Foreign Market there has also been very
little business. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 915 to
924, and the Scrip is depressed at 1; to 1 discount.
Chilian Loan is par to 4 premium. Venezuela
.Actives are 44/, and Chilian Threes 76.
Business in the Railway Share Market to-day
has been steady. Prices generally are well sup-
ported, the variations not having exceeded about
per cent. ' CaledOnian, Great Western, and North
Western have improved ss. ; and Eastern Counties,
108. ; South Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and
Litleoln, Midland and South Eastern declined
ss. The foreign lines are at nominal values.
In the Colonial Market there is little alteration
to notice. East Indian declined about 10s., and
Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of
Canada brought former rates.

are dull. London Joint Stock receded about ss. ;

MINES.—The Mining Share Market, for the time
of the year, has been in a remarkably active state ; but the
demand for certain shares has been so much greater than
the supply, even at increased rates, that, consequently,
actual transactions have not been so extensive as they would
otherwise have been. The chief demand during the week
has been for Grarabler and St. Aubyn shares, which have
advanced 160, 165 ; Providence Mines, 63 to 66 ; Wheal
Margaret, 63 to 65 ; Condurrow, 70 to 80 ; Great South
Tolgus, 12/ to 13 ; United Mines, 130 to 135 ; Render, 14
to la ; East Basset, after reaching 180, left off at 175 ; East
Russell shares have been flatter, and leave off at 71 to n;
North Robert 21 to 21-, and a larger business done. Rose-
warne in considerable request, at 30 to 35 ; it is generally
understood that an improvement has taken place in the
mine, but no official intelligence has been received, and
Many shareholders are complaining of the diffisulty in get-
ting reports, or even of common information from the mine.
