MONEY MARKET.

STOOK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

A considerable decline has occurred this week in Government Securities, commencing on Monday ; and although a slight rally occasionally intervened, no signs of a permanent reaction were visible until yesterday, when Consols for Money, after being that morning as low as 90t, recoyered rapidly through purchases by the late operators for a fall, and left off It 94. The political news has caused some uneasiness, particularly the construction of the intel- ligence from Austria in countermanding the entry of her troops into Lesser Wallachia since the receipt of the Russian reply to her summons. Much dis- appointment is also expressed at the apparent delay of active operations by the Allied Powers. The public have abstained from purchasing ; and there has been a good supply of Stock to meet the payment of the 1,0002000/. debentures of the East Indian Railway Company, as well as the further payment Of 20 per cent on the first 2,000,000/. of Exchequer Bonds. Money has consequently been much in request in the Stock Exchange, at 4 to 5 per cent. A decline this week of more than 2 per cent in French Stocks, and also the'unsesson- able weather, has influenced prices. The Corn-market, however, is dull; and the accounts from the agricultural districts are satisfactory. There has been little alteration in the Continental exchanges, but the French rate is unfavourable : 42,200/. which arrived from Geelong yesterday will be pur- chased for transmission to Paris, and large amounts of Australian gold would also have been forwarded if there had been a supply on the market. The gold by the New York steamer on Monday amounted to 57,0001.; a decline in the rate of exchange, which it is expected will be only temporary, pre- vented a larger sum being sent. Today, the return of unfavourable weather, more than any other cause, has occasioned a decline of I in the Funds : Consols for Money have ranged between 91k and I, leaving off at 91g k and 9la for the Account. Bank Stock is 2 better this week, and India Stock 2 lower. Exchequer Bills have not altered. Exchequer Benda continue at .t to I premium. In Foreign Stocks, the transactions have been limited, but a heaviness has prevailed, and the followinse have declined.

Railways have been unfavourablyinflueneed by the state of other markets; and a gradual decline occurred until yesterday, when it was arrested by the improvement in Consols. London and North-Western, which had receded that morning to 1021, were subsequently done at 104. At the close, the difference in some of the leading lines compared with last Saturday's was to the following extent.
