MONEY MARKET.

Strong EXCHANGE, THURSDAY Arrittreoote.

The English Money Market has not evinced any particular feature since our last report ; the price of Consols not having varied more than A per cent. Money has been very scarce, and 5 per cent, interest has been easily obtained upon English Stock and Exchequer Bills. This pressure was partially caused by the repayment of the advances made by the Bank of England during the recent shutting of the books for the Dividends, which took place yesterday ; but more so by the demand created by the speculations in the Foreign Funds. A large delivery of Bank Stock for money occurred on Tuesday, but without pro- ducing any effect on the price; which is 2166 ex. div. The Foreign Bonds have been in great demand, especially the South American Stocks; which have reached prices considerably higher than our last; although still without any intelligence from the various States, to which this improvement can be attributed. Dutch Stock, which languished upon the retreat of the Tories front office, has improved to-day; the parties interested in the New Portuguese 3 per Cent. Bonds having, it is understood, sought to give a currency to that security, by raising the price of the 26 per Cent. Bonds, the present low quotations of which must operate unfavourably upon the introduction of any foreign 3 per cent. stock into the market. A peat struggle occurred to-day to force the Portuguese per Cent. Bonds to par ; some large wagers depending upon the event. The endeavour was, however, unsuccessfol; the highest poiat reached being 996. Just previous to the close of business sonic very large SACS were effected, and Inc closing price was 91. The new 3 per Cent. Loan has been issued to the public at 676. The periods fixed for the instalments are as follows : 10 per cent, is to be paid on the 231 instant ; 30 per cent. on the lelth May ; and 27fr per cent. on the 2W July. The price of the bonds is now about 7:4. The Spanish Securities have been, and are nearly at the same prices as last week. Tile scarcity of money above alluded to, and the approaching couveisiou of the Cones bonds, caused considerable difficulty in the adjustment of the account to. day. The Market, however, has not given way, as the holders of stock gene- rally scent indisposed to sell, anticipating a favourable result front Lord Elam. 's pacificatory niissien. The other European Stocks are generally at the prices hut quoted, and the business transacted in them has been trifling.

SATURDAY, TW161.TE O'CLOCK.

The business of the morning has been very limited. Consols and the other trigliah Funds remain at our last prices. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds are lower, viz. 674 4. The Portug ite3e Stock has recovered, having been at 99, an is now 9881. The South American Stocks are also lower. iColninbian Bonds are ;7)0, 514. Mexican are 491, 50; and Chilian 57i 58i.
