MONEY MARKET.

- Sioux ExcisANGE, FRIDAY APTERNOON.

The English Funds have been slowly advancing during the whole week; and after being today at 93 both for Money and Account, close at 934, the highest price of the week. Money is as abundant as ever; the current rate of interest for loans for short periods on the security of English Stock being from 14 to 2 per cent. The business transacted has been unimportant; and the improvement in price is mainly owing to the investment of foreign capital, which is continually pouring into this country in consequence of the disturbed state of Europe. ,

In the Foreign Market, prices are without any material change; the abundance of money failing to produce its usual effect of a rapid increase in the value of the cur- rent Bonds. Most of the Dividend-paying Stocks are slightly in advance of our last quotations, with but very few transactions. Portuguese Bonds have advanced, and have reached 31. The Mexican and South American Bonds may be quoted generally as rather heavier.

The Railway Shares are without any material change; the prices of today being nearly the same as those of last week. One or two exceptions must, however, be noticed, in which an improvement is observable. Among these will be found the Shares of the Eastern Counties, which have advanced nearly 1/., viz. from 84 to 9. This improvement may, we believe, be attributed to the necessity under which several speculators who have sold shares in anticipation of a fall have been placed, of purchasing to cover their previous sales. The agitation which has had so depressing an effect upon these Shares may be expected to cease with the elec- tion of the new Directors. The meeting of the York and North Midland has rather increased the value of the Shares: the price, which was 30, had fallen to 284, but is last quoted today at 29i.

SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The French Funds were firm in Paris yesterday; the closing price of the Five per Cents being 88.25, and of the Three per Cents 54.25. The first price of Con- sols was 934, and one bargain occurred at 934; this quotation was not long sus- tained, and the price is now 934 both for Money and Account. The Foreign Funds are without change. In the Railway Market the principal object of in- tercet is the report of the York and North Midland Committee of inquiry; and the disclosures contained in that document have created an extraordinary sensa- tion. The transactions in Shares have been unimportant, being confined to the following: Eastern Counties, 94 i ; York and North Midland, Preference, 84; the latter quotation is an advance of nearly 1/. upon yesterday's price.
