TIIE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCLIANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Money Market has been in a more settled state than could have been expected from the uncertainty which now hangs over the political affairs of Eu- rope. The Stockholders have not yet evinced any general disposition to dispose r:f their securities, and the scarcity of Money Stock (so often noticed) continued up to yesterday ; but some large sales having supplied the Market, Stock for immediate delivery has become more plentiful; there is, however, at present no difference between the prices for Money and Account. Consols have been during the week at 814; declined yesterday to 834; and close this afternoon 831 4. Reduced 3 per Cents, have been at 834 and 824; and close at 821 L. New ai per Cents. have been at 924 and 914; while the last price of the day is 9143. Bank Stock is lower, having been at 1891; and 1871 was the last price of yesterday. There has been no quotation of India Stock during the week till yesterday, when the price was 202 and 203. Exchequer Bills have declined materially ; up to yesterday the price was 20s. to 31s. prem., when a sudden fall took place to 23s.; to-day the price has been at 26s., and closes at 23s. to 24s. prem. Money, however, is still plentiful, and easily obtainable on loansfor short periods at 3 per cent.
The same indisposition to sell stock has been evinced by the proprietors of Fo- reign Stocks, as by the holders of the English Funds ; and, consequently, Dutch Stock has not varied more than 1 per cent. ; the highest price during the week having been 411, while 401 has been the lowest. The Market has maintained itself for the last two days above 41, and closes this afternoon at 4144. Spanish Stock has been an object of much attraction : the Market opened on Monday at 174, and in the course of Tuesday reached 174; it has since declined to 151, has to-day been at 161 4, and closes at 1641. Portuguese Stock has been steady, fluctuating between 49 and 50: the last price of to-day is 491, 50. Regency Scrip was on Monday morning at 3s. dis. ; but the letters from Oporto to the 27th ult, not having brought accounts of any signal success on the part of Don PEDRO, the price soon declined to 4s. dis. The Market has since improved 31 dis., and has fluctuated for the last two days between 31 and
dis. ; the last price this afternoon was 3$ to 33 dis. Greek Stock is lower, viz. 261 and 271. Almost all descriptions of Foreign Stock have shared in the depression ; but, except in those noticed above, the business has not been of such importance as to require remark.
SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.
The airivel of the Paris papers bringing an improvement of nearly per cent. in the French Funds on Friday, has given firmness to our Market. Con- sols for Account opened at 831 ; and are now 831 84. Money Stock is much • more abundant than lately ; and for the first time for some weeks, a difference exists between the price for Money and the Account. Exchequer Bills have slightly improved on yesterday's price. In the Foreign Market almost all sorts of Stock are at the closing prices of yesterday. Spanish Stock has been at 16, and is now 16 4.
