MONEY MARKET.

STOOK EXOHANOE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON'.

The Consul Market opened on Monday. dull and heavy, at 931 931 for money; and 931 931 for August. The principal transactions were in eon-- flexion with the settlement of the following day, and quotations all round were lower.. Stocks have since generally declined in anticipation of a loan for China and the national defences; the disturbances in Syria have like- elied a prejudicial influence upon the market, particularly when it was announced that France was on the point of taking immediate steps to put an end to the atrocities; though why that fact should have depressed Eng- lish prices, seeing that French Rentes actually advanced, is not very clear, unless it be that the market is sensitive and euepicious of every French movement. Consols were at one moment 93 3-16 sellers, but a recovery took place yesterday to 93 931. This morning, owing to the financial die- cusaions of Cast the Funds opened flat ; Consols were offered at 93 5-16, but have since risen to 931 931, and firm at the quotation, although the de- bate of tonight is looked ferward to with some anxiety, and the market-is therefore very sensitive.
