MONEY MARKET,

STOCK EXCHANOE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

This week, like its predecessor, has been remarkable for the frequent changes in Government Securities, but has exceeded the latter in their ex- tent. From the magnitude of the operations for a fall, and the consequent expectation that a great demand for Stock would exist on the arrangement Of the Account, the Funds advanced on Monday nearly 1 per cent. In the settlement on Tuesday, great difficulty was experienced in the supply of Consols for Money ; which speedily attained 94, but the highest point for July was only 931, and they finally closed 4 lower. On Wednesday, the last transactions for Money just before the shutting of the Bank-books for dividends, were at 921; a decline having taken place through some sales of Stock. The improvement during the last account had amounted to about 61 per cent. Yesterday, Consols were quoted ex-dividend, and they ranged between 901 and 911: a fall of 1 occurred at the close, owing to a decline of nearly 2 per cent in French Stocks. The general intelligence regarding the prospects of the war has been viewed favourably this week ; and the high prices which have ruled on the Paris Bourse until latterly have inspired con- fidence. The Chancery-broker has been a large buyer. The French rate of exchange continues firm; it is therefore unlikely that any further remittances of gold will be made from this side. The money- market in Vienna is improving, and the rate of exchange is 12.58. At St. Petersburg the rate has recovered to 364d. The arrivals of specie on Monday by the Mexican and New York packets amounted to about 500,000I. On Wednesday, a Government notice was issued of guaranteed loans for Deme- rara and Trinidad, amounting respectivtly to 50,000/. and 25,0001. under the act of 1848. Demerara having previously received 200,0001., and Trinidad 100,0007., the sums now to be raised will complete the authorized totals. The debentures are to be for 500/. each, and the interest 4 per cent from the 1st of July next, redeemable in twenty years from that date. The tenders are to be sent in on the 19th instant, and none accepted for less than 50001. It is said that the clauses in the Winding-up Bill of the South Sea Company regarding the creation of a Trust Association have been unfavourably re- ported by a Committee of the House of Lords.

Today, the Funds have been very changeable. Consols, after being as low as 91, have rallied, and ultimately leave off as they were yesterday-911 ex-dividend. Bank Stork is the same as last week. Exchequer Bills are Is. lower. India Stock is shut.

Foreign Securities generally have been maintained, and in some instances an improvement has taken place. Several purchases of Russian have been made. Peruvian was much inquired after on Monday, when the Four-and- . a-hall per Cents were done at 69, and the Three per Cents at S3: they are

SATURDAY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The English Funds have been very quiet since the morning, and no al- teration has occurred ; Consols leaving off at 911 1. Exchequer Bills par to 4 premium. In Foreign Stocks the only change is in Mexican, which is a shade lower, being now 231 1.

Railways are rather higher, but the bargains, as in other departments, have been very few, owing to the absence of a large number of members of the House-the Crystal Palace possessing greater attractions today than the Stock Market.
