MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The National Securities opened on Monday at a decline upon last week of f per cent,—Consols, 951 # ex div. ; and numerous sales continued to be pressed upon the market, the chief cause being, for the moment, in- creased apprehension respecting our relations with America; the market has since, however; gradually recovered itself, the explanations in the House of Lords being received as satisfactory. The Indian news had also a tendency to impart more confidence to the dealers. The amount of trans- actions has not been of any importance, and in spite of the occasional dulness exhibited throughout the Stock Exchange, quotations have been tolerably supported, mainly by the indisposition on the part of the public i

just now to invest in any other than Government Stocks. Money continues to be verr, abundant, and the instalment of 15 per cent on the Indian Loan due on Thursday last was paid without any apparent pressure on the market. Consols, after being at one time today 96 1-16 buyers, close 951 96. Bank Stock, 219 221 ; Reduced, and New Three per Cents, 95i 96. There has been extremely little business doing during the past week in Foreign Stocks, the market leaving off this afternoon at about former quo- tations. Considering the near approach of the time for the payment of the various dividends for the half-year ending June, this inactivity is somewhat singular, and can only be accounted for by the prevailing unea- siness regarding politics abroad. Spanish Three per Cents leave off 45 451; Austrian, 93 96 ; Buenol' Ayres, 82 84 ; Grenada Active, 20 21; Ditto Deferred, 54 6.1 ; Venezuela Active, 37 39 ; Victor Emmanuel, 1 1 prem. • New Brazihan, # dis. # prem. ; Mexican, 20} 1; Turkish Six per Cents 95} 954; Ditto Four per Cents, 103/ 1041 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-half Cent, 86 88; Ditto Three per Cents, 66 68. The attention of dealers as been mostly directed to the Now Four-and-a-half per Cent Brazilian Loan, which, after continuing for some days at 1 and 1 prem., suddenly declined to par, the closing figure.

The entire week's business of the English Railway Share Market has been of the most insignificant character, quotations at the close today present- ing little or no change worthy of comment. The principal fluctuations have been in Great Western, Caledonian, and London and North- Western ; there is the same inactivity this afternoon, andprices leave of /

very near) as those of last week. Great Northern, 101/ 1021; North Stafford, 6 .5 die. Caledonian, 401 4I# ; Midland, 911 921; Birmingham, 911 911; rest Western, 50 601 ; Leeds, 891 901; Brighton, 1071 1081; Berwick, 901 I. The French Share Market has this week at one period suffered its greeted depression, but subsequently, owing to rumours of the probability of Go- vernment interference for the benefit of the various lines interested, a fa- vourable reaction has ensued ; thus Paris and Lyons, which fell on Monday to 281, recovered to 29# Northern of France from 351 yesterday reached 37, Strasbourg 24 to 25,, and Southern of France from 181 to 191. Roll- zations at these figures have, hastyoever, made the market somewhat earlier. France, 22 23.1 ; Lyons and Geneva, 23 24; lombardo-Venetian, The closink,quotations are follow—,Orleans, 47i 485 ; Western of 21 3 pm. rices have improved likewise upon the good Bank return. Indian and other Shares are steady, with no particular feature.

The Bank of British North America has declared a dividend for the past year of 6 per cent. The prospectus has been issued of the Eastern Counties and Dutch Rhen- ish Umon Transit Company, with a capital of 30,0001. in 11. shares. The system is proposed of conveying goods through from London and other parts of England to various Continental cities free of all risk, the route being by the Eastern Counties line to Harwich, thence by steamers, to be provided by the Company, to Holland to connect with the Dutch Rhenish Railway. At a stormy meeting of the mismanaged and unfortunate North of Europe Steam Company, on Monday, it was resolved to confirm the winding-up of the Company, and liquidators were appointed. The Corn-market gave way again on Monday, wheat falling from Is. to 2s. per quarter, the accounts of the state of the crops having been very en- couraging. Gold continues to be sent to the Continent in considerable quantities.

At a meeting of the creditors of Rawson, Sons, and Co., on Tuesday, a statement was submitted showing that all claims can be eventually paid in full, and a surplus left for the partners. It was resolved that the estate shall be wound-up under inspection. Letters from Hamburg mention that the house of Mr. Theodor Schmidt, which was one of the` principal among those that suspended during the crisis in November last, has resumed business, having paid all demands, with interest and charges.
