MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, PRIDAT AFTERNOON.

The present week has been one of less excitement in the money-market than its predecessor ; and, like the last, the state of France has been the all- absorbing topic of conversation. The news that has arrived daily since the last report on Saturday has been of much the same character as to its present state of quietude after the recent disturbances; and the French Funds, which advanced nearly 3 per cent on Saturday last, have been well supported, with the exception of an occasional decline of 1 per cent, which has been generally followed by a rally of nearly the same extent. On Monday morn- ing Consols attained their greatest altitude, when, in consequence of the rise in French Stocks, and the arrival of bullion, they opened at an advance of per cent compared with Saturday's quotations ; which, however, was immediately followed by a decline of 1 ; and a further fall to about the same extent occurred on Tuesday, from the receipt of lower prices from Paris; but a rally of 1 per cent took place at the close. Wednesday was a quiet day, and no material fluctuation took place. On Thursday, the members of the House were chiefly occupied in arranging the Account ; which proved to be of a Bullish character, and 3-l6tha to 1 per cent " continuation" was paid for renewing transactions to the January settlement. Today has been occu- pied in the payment and receipt of differences connected with the Account. It has also been the last day for money transactions in Consols previous to the shutting of the Bank books for the dividend accounts to be made up; and they have improved 1 per cent. The public have been steady buyers during the week ; which is generally the case just before the closing of the Consol books. The Three-and-a-quarter per Cents and the Three per Cent Reduced have varied this week M the same extent as Consols. Bank Stock and Exchequer Bills have realized the same value as last week.

The Funds, although comparatively quiet now, after the agitation of last week, are likely to be again subject to much fluctuation as the time draws near for recording the votes of the French people on the 21st instant.

In Foreign Stocks there is little to remark. In Russian, Belgian, Dutch, and other leading securities mostly sought after for investment, prices have been maintained. Sardinian Bonds have advanced lf per cent. Mexican stock has risen if per cent, including an improvement of 11 today. There has been an arrival of dollars during this week ; and the rise today has been caused from a belief that a large further, shipment has been made, by intel- ligence from America. It is to be regretted that the insurrection has not been subdued in Mexico. Had it not been for this circumstance, the price would frhobably have experienced a further advance. Spanish has improved about per cent this week. The are Market has been extremely buoyant throughout the week, and a rise in price to some extent has occurred in most of the leading lines. The most remarkable rise has taken place in the following—London and North-western and Great Western, which have improved 4/. ; London and South-western, 3/. 108.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 3/. 10s.; London, Brighton, and South Coast, 21.; South-eastern 11. Midland Stock continues very scarce, and has risen 4/. 10s. Eastern Counties, that vary so seldom, are 1 better this week ; owing to the proposals with the Newmarket and Chesterford and East Anglian, and also to the prospect of an extension to Tilbury and Southend. The sales in different Shares last week having in

many cases been of a speculative character, the improved aspect of French affairs has induced parties to come in as buyers to close their accounts; not wishing to run the risk of settling-day, which is close at hand, causing a greater demand ; and fearing to meet a scarcity from a probable Bear ac- count. French Sharer!, which last week were at one time almost unsale- able, have rallied considerably. Central of France, Northern of France, and Pans and Strasbourg, are It. higher : others have improved to the follow- ing extent—Paris and Rouen, 1. '108. ; Paris and Orleans, 21.; Rouen and Havre, 108. ; Boulogne and Amiens, 78. 6d.
