The "state of the_ Idoney.Marketis calculated to excite
attention just now, capital continuing as abundant as
ever, although there are so many new' sources of em-
ployment constantly opening to it. Trade is certainly not
in a speculative sense absorbing much money, for ne one
seems inclined to operate till 'after Christmas, but still
the steady consumption going on must require a fair
amount of capital. We perceive that among other pro-
jects there is one for forming railroads in British India,
but we regret it did not come forward sooner, when the
large amount—five millions sterling—stated to be requi-
site, would have been raised, in preference to that sub-
scribed. for more doubtful projects.
The English Securities have been rather flatter to-day,
and there have been a few sales made: This cannot arise
from any pressure for money on account of the French
Loan, as there will be no -further instalment, it .is said,
till next March. Consols have been 1001- to par for the
opening. Exchequer Bills have realised 565. to 58s. pre-
mium.. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. .are 103
to 1021, and the Three per Cents., 1001 to
The- announcement of the dividend upon the Three
per Cent. Spanish Bonds has. not made the stock higher,
as it was fully anticipated, but prices are firm,. the Five
per Cents, being 25 to 241, and the Three per Cents.,
371 to 37. Portuguese Converted, are 57+; Columbian
realiie 141; and Brazilian have improved to 89 and 891.
Belgian Scrip, is 1 prem. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 641 to 631.
Shares are nearly all very good, but the transactions
have not been extensive.
