MONEY- MARKET

A ND

,:OBIAIERCIAL INTICLLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

This being New Year's Day the Stock Exchange
is closed, and there is therefore no business to re-
port in public securities.
The demand for money this morning is compara-
tively quiet, and the rate in Lombard-street is easier,
at to 2 per cent.
The corn market is firm, but quiet.
The sum to be devoted to the operations of the
Si iking Fund of the National Debt during the en-
suing quarter is £228,957.

tsar gold and sovereigns to the value of £21,000
were sent into the Bank of England yesterday.
The New York is announced with £49,053 in
specie for this country, and £100,500 for France
from the United States.
The following is Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmicts
report of the bullion market :—" The prices for bar
silver and Mexican dollars exhibit no variation since
ours of 13th ult., and, though at the present moment
the market is not animated, the large amount just
received by the West India packet has been taken at
these quotations by Continental purchasers, and there
appears little indication of any alteration. The
Prospect of a demand for the East appears to be very
remote, especially as large amounts of silver and
dollars have been for many months past poured into
India and China from the West Coast of South Ame-
rica and from California. There is still sufficient export
inquiry to carry off the large sums in Australian and
United States' gold which we are now receiving. The
importation from America will, however, probably
continue on rather a large scale for the present, and
it is doubtful whether the Continental demand will be
sufficiently strong to absorb the whole quantity.
Spanish doubloons are in demand for Havannah, and
the price has advanced.
A. remittance of £l,oocr has been received on
account of the dividends and sinking fund of the
Columbian Loan.
Dividend warrants, for the usual interim. dividend
payable on the Ist January, have been issued by the
St. James's Hotel Company.
The traffic receipts of the Great Luxemburg Rail-
way Company for the week ending the 29th ult.,
were £606 12 2d less than for the corresponding
period of last year.
The following is Aressrs E. F Satterthwaite-s
review of the London market ior American securities
ending the past fortnight :—" During the fortnight
Which has elapsed since our last the London market for
American securities has been very inactive, but on the
continuous decline in gold, and the relatively higher
York,
of United States' Government 'Stocks in New
York, there has been an improvement in quotations,
although the price here still leaves a margin of profit on
exportation to America. 5-20's of 1862 leave off 72k
to 72k, and the 1865 issue 71i to 711. Illinois close
with little alteration—viz., 89/ to 891, but Eries, at
48 to 49, show a decline of $l. On the uncertainty as
to whether the State of Virginia will pay the interest
due in January the Bonds have fallen to 29 to 31."
The &rectors of the Frontino and Bolivia South
American Gold Mining Company (Limited), have re-
ceived advices from their superintendent, Mr. Rouch,
dated Medelin, Nov. 15, together with a remittance
of gold of the estimated value of £6OO, being the
produce from the Ist to the 20th of the month, from
the Bolivia mines only. Bolivia, Juan Criollo Mine.—
Mr. Rouch states that this mine during the last month
produced 155i0z. of gold dust at at cost of .£lOO only,
and that he is erecting another mill there which he
anticipates will be equally productive ; he adds that
at thi3 mine considerable hindrance has been caused by
the illness of some of the men, and hence a slight fall-
in3 off in the returns. Maria Dama Mine.—Mr.
Rouch reports that a violent flood carried away the
watercourses, which has caused a very small produce
from this mine, but he adds that the damage
is now repaired. La Salada Mine.—Mr. Rouch
state that the new mills on this mine and a tramway
to it will probably be completed by the end of Novem-
ber, and that then the cost of this portion of the es-
tablishment will be largely diminished, and the
produced increased. Frontino.—With regard to
this mine Mr. Rouch informs the directors that the
working for the month of October shows a profit,
although at present only a small one, and that the
gold for that period will be forwarded with the next
monthly remittance.
