Some reaction from the confidence Of yesterday 10

time, until the occurrence OF rather large sPeculs'i

Paris Bourse this evening we're 64f. 90c for money,

steady demand for investment, and a recovery from

"The mercantile advices from Paris to-day describe
a confident feeling with regard to the Money
market, and consequent tendency to hrmness IN the
rate of exchange.
"Tbe weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and
Rotterdam Produce markets state that business coa-
tnued inactive at a decline in prices. Few transact
lions had taken place in sugar coffee, but lower
quotations were current for nearly all descriptions.
Rice had been fairly supported, although sales had
lttery increased In tea and other articles there was

The London News Of Wednesday, Dec. 10, says:
"The English Stock market weaker to-day, and
Closed at decline of TO " cent. Withdrawals Of
bullion from the Bank, the less favorable tendency OF
the Continental Exchanges, and the continued tight
ness of the Money market, have combined TO a
reaction from yesterdays Improvement. The demand
for Money to-day again very active, both in Isom
bard street and at the Bank and full rates exact
nstanent of 10 y cent which fell due to-day upon the
TIC 900 loan, although this payment had been par
italy met in advance The opinion is expressed 10
many quarters, however, that the Money market viii
remain tight during the remainder of the preseot
month. Another consideration that has tended To
weaken the funds the apprehension that Government
contempates n renewal of sales OF stock held by the
Savings Banks. II will be remembered that, upos
the issue of the proposals for the loan of fl6O0000o in
April last the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed 10
abstain from any further sales of Savings Bank stock
until the lnstalments upon the loan should be com
peted lie il, therefore, released from this engage
ment to-day. This fact, coupled with the comparative
smalness Of the Treasury balances at the Bank,
ders the dealers cautious. The powers possessed BY
Government as regarh the large mass of stock held
by Savings Banks are very extensive. Any amount
which the Chancellor of the Excbequer may sell in the
market he easily replace at time like the present,
when the requirements Of the war demand periodical
creation of fresh Government securities. II may be
doubted, however, whether sound policy would dc
tate heavy sales from this in face OF an ap-
preaching national oan
Sat Paris to-day the French funds closed at an i'm
provement Of / TO y cent. At Vienna the money
market was a shade better. The exchange on Londoo
is quoted Eighty lower at l0:45, while the premium
on gold has receded to 135 cent, and that silver
to IL v cent. At Amsterdam yesterday the Boure
was fmer, except for Russian stock, which was hat.
Throughout the Continent Russian securities exhibit
no sign Of recovery from the fall which followed the
announcement OF the renewed attempt Of the Russian
Government to raise foreign loan.
"Cousois which closed yesterday at 80 ex-dv. for
January TO- were 6rst marked this morning &c. and had
receded the cose of the Stock Exchange 10 $50 70
ssa. In the Consol market money continues 10 com
mand about v cent.
1T Il apprehended that the stock OF bullion heldFy
the Bank OF England is likely to experience some re-
duction. The parties who Withdrew gold rather freely
M the Bank yesterday for expectation TO the Conn-
n.nt are known to hold orders for the remittance o.
some further considerable amounts. An impressios
prevails that these Withdrawals connected with the
new Russian loan, which is stated 10 meet with some
favor on the Bourse OF Amsterdam, owing 10 the low
ness Of the price which Russia is willing to accept tor
this FIVE per cent stock. Whatever sum may be
raised through this negotiation must II IL evident De
RENTED to- Russia in gold, il IL only from bullion
loan that relief can be derived by the Russian Govern
ment. To procure an adequate supply OF the precious
metal it is presumed that application will be made
chiefly TO the London market.
