MONEY MARKET.

&oaf EXCHA24.914. FRIDAY .4.FTERSOok.

The English Stock Market has varied but slightly ;• the range of fluctua- tion of Consols having been from 961 to 97, and the closing pnee this after- noon being 964 97. Some interest was attached to the meeting of the Bank Directors yesterday, when it was imagined that, in consequence of the recent stoppage of banks in Monmouthshire, and the unfavourable state of the money-market in New York, a rise in the rate of discount might be de- termined on. Consols consequently fell about f per cent ; but recovered the. lost ground as soon as it was ascertained that no alteration in the ratehad oc- curred. The business of the week has been unimportant. The books of all those Stocks the dividends upon which become due today, will open for private transfer tomorrow : the dividends will be paid to the public on Tuesday. Some of the gold from the mining district near Bathurst in New South Wales was exhibited at Lloyd's yesterday, by Mr. Duncan Dunbar, the emi- nent shipowner, to whom it was consigned. The largest piece weighed four pounds.

In the Foreign Market, the business has been unusually limited. Mexi- can Bonds were at one period about f per cent above our last prices ; but have since fallen back, and are today nearly as last week. By the last packet, a remittance of 41,000 dollars was received on account of the divi- dends, and a communication from M. Falconnet, the agent of the bondhold- ers in Mexico, stating the receipt from Messrs. Manning and Marshall of acceptances to the amount of 250,000 dollars, being the sum due from those gentlemen to the bondholders. Peruvian and the South American Bonds are generally firmer. Spanish Stock of all varieties is also without change ; while in Portuguese Bends the transactions have been insignificant. The Northern European Stocks are without vitality or fluctuation. Sardinian Scrip has fluctuated between 21 and lf discount. The Bonds are heavier, and may be quoted at from 82 to 83.

The Railway. Share Market has been in a more tranquil state than usual; prices today being for the principal Shares from IL to 21. lower than last week. Lancashire and Yorkshire and Midland Stock still continue scarce, and were yesterday sold about 12s. 6d. per share higher for Money than for Ac- count. The French Shares are all nominally lower, in consequence of the heaviness of the Parisian money-market. The transactions in them on foreign account have been few, and there does not appear any desire in the. English capitalists to make choice of them as objects of speculation or invest- ment.

SATURDAY TWELVE o•CLocx.

The state of the quarter's Revenue is considered very satisfactory. The French Funds declined again in Parisyesterday. Our own Stocks are, how- ever, firm at yesterday's quotations; Consols being 96 97. The business of. the morning has as yet been confined to Reduced anti Three-and-a-quarter per Cents, the transactions in Consols having been very few. The bereign Stocks are all rather firmer: the Railway Shares without material change. The following are the prinoipal transactions-Caledonian, 124; East Lance- shire, 14f ; Great Northern, 16.1 ; Great Western, 831 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 66; Brit/Mem* Nei., Midland, 491,; Reading, Guildford, and Rei- gate, 214 1.
