MONEY A_RICE1'.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Stock Market has been remarkably steady. Consols fluctuated from buyers to sellers at 951 till this morning, when intelligence of the set- tlement of the Greek dispute gave an upward impulse to prices: the opening quotation was 96 for Money and'94 for Account. Scarcely any transactions of importance have occurred since the morning, and 964 §6 may be cited as the last price for Money and 96 for Account. The anticipations as to the -effect of the Savings-baidts Bill noticed in our last report have been correct: no further sales have occurred, and -we are informed that the investments have been resumed, though upon a small scale. A loan of 600,000/. for the service of Canada is in the market ; the interest 6 per cent, and the price

100; the interest secured upon the .Colonial revenues, without any guarantee of tie Imperial Government of Great Britain. The Stock has been chiefly taken in large amounts by a few capitalists, but it is not generally popular; the chances of annexation to the United States, and of consequent repudia- tion, militating against it. Money is rather more in demand : interest at the rate of 2 per cent has been obtained in some cases upon loans for short periods and first-class discounts. The transactions in Foreign Funds have been unimportant. The ,Scrip and Stock of the Russian and Danish Loans are becoming gradually absorbed by investments, though no material improvement in the prime has occurred. Russian Four-and-a-half per Cent Stock lass risen to 951, and the Scrip 2/ premium. Danish Scrip reached 61 premium. The Mexican and most of the South American Stocks are without any material variation, or matter for remark. Spanish Steck also has undergone little fluctuation.

The Railway Share Market has been steady, with but little business; the quotations of today being within a shade of those of last-week. The greatest improvement has occurred in Great Western, while some of the Shares of minor character have advanced in a trifling degree.

SATURDAY TWELVE O'CLOCS.

There is no material change in prima or business of importance occurring either in the English or Foreign Funds, the quotations of which are nearly the same as yesterday. Consols aro steady at the opening price, 951 96 for Money and 961 for Account. The Railway. Share Market is without va- riation, and the transactions of the morning have been too unimportant to require any notice. 1Dereanav Two o'epace.
