MONEY MARKET.

Pruett Excite:az. FRIDAV AFTERNOON.

The improvement in the prices of the Public Securities, which the firmness of the Money Market indicated, has not been sustained ; the warlike tenor of the speech of the King of the Belgians has altered the former promising all. pearances; and the English Funds generally have fallen per cent. "(he pre- mium on Exchequer Bills has been supported. There have not, however, been many transactions of importance. Bank Stock is higher, and is quoted to-day at 2031. India Stock is lower, being 26).

In the Foreign Market, Dutch Stock, which had improved about Ir per cent., has fallen per cent. The other Northern European Stocks have been slightly

shaken. Spanish Stock has been steady, between 17h and with but little business. Portuguese Stock is heavy ; but so little has been doing, that very few quotations appear in the official list. South Americau Stocks are also steady.

The Railway Share Markets have been slightly affected by the unfortunate

accidents which have lately occurred. The shareholders in these companies seem to be convinced, that whatever difficulties may attend the first extensive application of this new principle, that the increased and still increasing traffic will fully realize an ample return upon the capital employed, and are therefore not inclined to sell : indeed, few shares of the completed lines of railway are in the market ; the floating shares being mostly those of new undettakings, such as the Brighton and Blackwall. But the business in any of them has not been such as to produce a fluctuation of more than 1/. per share. Only two transac- tions have occurred in London and Birmingham during the last three days ; and the one has been at 81 and the other at 82 prem. There has been rather more doing in Great Western ; but the fluctuation has not been greater, 13 and 14 prem. being the two extreme prices. Manchester and Birmingham are to-day at prem. The demand for the Shares of the Extension Line (Man- chester and Birmingham)seems to have subsided for the present.
