MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY Arrsawoow.

The English Funds have been heavy, without any transactions of importance. The eettlement of the Consol Account was on Tuesday ; when, from the in- ability of the speculative purchasers to take their Stock off the market, a con- siderable pressure for money occurred, and the price of Consols declined to 924, or:about ft per cent below our last prices. A trifling reaction ensued; but, though the closing quotation of this afternoon is 921 1 for Money and 921 ft for the October Account, the market is still feeble, and oppressed by a superin- cumbent weight of Stock. Money was in demand at an advanced rate of in- terest, both for discounts and in the Stock Exchange, on Tuesday last; but is now cheaper, the rate varying from 2 to 24 per cent.

The transactions of the Foreign Market have been as limited as those of the English Funds. Some alight effect upon Mexican Stock was produced by the intelligence lately received of the appointment of other agents in the place of Messrs. John Schneider and Co.: the price fell about ft per cent; but the previous advanced quotation has been again established. The Northern European Stocks are unchanged. There is an evident disposition for investment in them, princi- pally upon foreign account; but extensive purchases are impossible, on account of the scarcity of the stock. Buenos Ayres Stock has fallen about 6 per cent, with- out any apparent cause. The Railway Shares continue depressed, and there seems a settled deter- mination among a large class of holders to abandon these securities. So com- pletely is the confidence of the public shaken that they have no faith in any state- ment of accounts ; believing that hitherto all railway statements have been delusive, and that, low as the majority of the dividends now are, they will be forced still lower. Shares are thus continually thrown upon the market; which no longer receives the support from speculative purchases or investments that used to be at hand upon periods of undue depression. Great Western have fallen between 21. and 31.; North-western, in the same proportion; Midland, about 31. Brighton, which have been until now well supported, have declined about 14 per cent. The Guaranteed Shares, though not quite so firm as they were a few days ago, have experienced but a trifling depression, and are comparatively in favour with the public.
