MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE,. FRIDAY AFTF.RDOON.

The English Stock market continued without any animation till yesterday morning, when a decline of nearly 1 per cent occurred ; the price of Consols falling to 941 for Money. The market showed symptoms of revival in the afternoon, and closed at an improvement of gg per cent. This morning it was again heavy, but rallied slightly towards the close of business ; Consols, which had been at 94 for Money and 94 for the March Account, closing at 941 1 for Money and 941 95 for the Account. This movement was mainly occasioned by the very large amount of Stock thrown into the market upon the settlement of the Consol Account. There was consequently a great in- crease in the value of money -, the rate of interest for advances upon the se- curity of Consols till the 13th March varying from 3 to 5 per cent : today, however, the pressure being over, there is much less demand. In the Foreign Market, the business has been chiefly confined to Peruvian Stock ; which still continues to advance, and has today been at 841, but closes rather lower this afternoon. The other South American Bonds are get- ting in demand, in consequence of the great improvement in Peruvian Bonds. Mexican have been in demand; receded again yesterday, and are rather firmer today. The business in Portuguese and Spanish Stock has not been of sufficient importance to require notice. The Scrip of the Four-and-a-half per Cent Russian Loan has been as low as 11 premium, but is rather firmer, and is today quoted at 2 premium. The payment of the second instalment of 10 per cent occurred today, but no pressure was observable u •n the mar- ket in consequence. The Russian Five per Cent Stock is firm, ,Ce g quoted

today at 110. The transactions in Dutch and the other No European Stocks have been insignificant.

The principal feature in the Railway Share Market is the decline of North- western, which have fallen between 4/. and Si. per share : it is now under- stood that the dividend for the half-year just ended will be at the rate of 5i per cent per annum, instead of 6 per cent as was anticipated; and that the balance of undivided profit to be carried to the next half-year will be about 50,0001. Both Great Western and M9;11snd are lower ; the former having declined about 21. and the latter about 11. Most of the minor class of Shares are also lower, though some of them, as the York and North Midland, and the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate, are at a slight advance. The transactions in Foreign Shares have been unimportant; so have the fluctuations.

SATIJILDAY TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are heavy ; the opening price of Consols for Money was 94 and for Account 941, and the price is now 941 1 for Money and 941 1 for I Account. The French Funds fell per cent in Paris yesterday. The Fo- reign Market is in a quiescent state, the prices of most of the current varieties being the same as yesterday. Nothing of importance has yet occurred in the , Railway Shares.
