MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, THURSDAY Arratattoox.

The English Funds continue to improve ; the advance in almost every description of Government Stock (except Three-and-a-quarter per Cents) having been about per cent. The improvement in this latter has been nearly 1 per cent; from 991, the price on Tuesday, when the books opened for private transfer, the quotation has today reached 100. Money is still as plentiful as ever, and the rate of discount in Lombard Street is from 11, to 2 per cent. .

Almost every description of Foreign Stock has been in demand ; especially the Sardinian, Mexican, Peninsular,. and South American Stocks, in all of which speculation has been active and general, and which are consequently at much higher prices. A notification has appeared from Messrs. Baring& and Co. stating their willingness to advance 4/ per cent of the amount of the Mexico-Californian indemnity-money, subject to the deduction of interest at the rate of 5 per cent for four months and Income-tax upon the amount. Portuguese Stocks have advanced about 2 per cent ; Spanish Three per Cent Deferred from 1 to per cent. The speculation in the Committee Certificates for the repudiated portion of the dividends appears to be for the present suspended ; the price for some time having been between 2/ and 3. The English Share Market has been steady ; and though the transactions have been extensive, the fluctuations have been unimportant. The French Shares have been in great demand, and have attained quotations much higher than any yet reached since the Revolution of 1848. The most remarkable improvement has been in the Northern of France, and Paris and Lyons; both of which have improved about 11. per share. The settlement of the Account in the latter has been completed today ; when transactions extending over a period of nearly three months have been adjusted. A new scheme, called the Junction Railway of France, has been brought out; and before the shares are allotted they have been current at 1# per cent premium. The incentive to speculation supplied by the French Government seems to operate as power- fully as ever.
