THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING-, HALF-PAST TM—The business done in our Market this week has been of very limited extent, and the fluc- tuations of prices have not exceeded a quarter per Cent. For this we can only assign the season of the year—the month of September, which, seducing every body from London, has its influence on the Stock as well as other Markets. The highest price of Consols this week was 894, the lowest 89, which is also the present. There have been rumours of a scarcity of money out of doors, but no such scarcity has been felt with us ; and no stronger evidence of that fact can be adduced than the rising price of Exchequer Bills, which is now 69 premium. India Bonds have also advanced to 63, although the Stock is lower in price, and the market for it not firm. The only heavy Stock now open is the New 4 per Cents, which have been at 102 to 3. 'all the week, except yesterday, when a considerable sale occasioned a slight but only temporary depression. In the Foreign Market, Brazilian Bonds are higher, 594; and Portuguese lower, 45: they were done yesterday at 44/. Russian Bonds still advance, anclohave touched 100 (ex dividend). There is literally nothing doing in the South American Bonds ; but in the Share Market the Bolanos have advanced to par, and the United Mexican have improved a little. There has not, how- ever, been much business.
HALF-PAST TWELVE o'eLoca.—There is very little doing. Consols for Money 881 to and 88 7-9th to 89 for the Account.
In the Foreign Market Portuguese Stock is very heavy, and has been done at 44, which is 3 per cent lower than the closing price of last Saturday.
