The price of Five-twenties in London has been, upon the whole, sustained, notwithstanding the unfavorable effect which at first resulted from the introduction into Congress of measures looking to the impeachment of the President, and at the close of the month prices show unusual strength: COURSE OF CONSOLS AND AMERICAN SECURITIES AT LONDON-JANUARY, 1867.

In all parts of the country there have been complaints of a scarcity of money, and balances held at this centre have been naturally drawn down. The exports of cotton from New Orleans and Mobile have called for considerable remittance of currency to those points. While the general rate on call loans has been 7 per cent., yet the prevailing lack of confidence has caused money to be offered to the best borrowers on easy terms, and on Governments heavy amounts have been placed at 5@6 per cent. Discounting has been severely checked by the prevailing mistrust and by the high rates on call loans, but at the close of the month a healthier tone prevailed with respect to commercial paper, transactions being larger and at easier rates. The following are the rates of loans and discounts during the month: The month opened with considerable speculative activity in the Gold market, but the subsequent excitement in stock movements diverted attention from the gold room, and only ou the last two days of the month was there any disposition apparent to renew speculation upon extensive scale. The large supply paid out by the Treasury upon January coupons has kept the market abundantly stocked with gold, and prevented any vigorous combinations for forcing up the premium The price opened at 1324, advanced to 1377 at the middle of the month, and subsequently fell to 134, closing at 135g.
