THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING.—The supply of Money Stock having rather exceeded the demand this week, Consols, which on Saturday last were done at 89f, fell on Wednesday to 88k; but opinion being still in favour of a rise, the price rose again on the same afternoon to 881. On the following day, and also yesterday, it fell to 8811, from the pressure of Money Stock; but afterwards recovered to 881, which was the closing price of yes- terday. The unfavourable state of the weather must have had some influence on the Market in checking the rise. This morning the weather is fine: the barometer has risen and is still rising, and the French Funds (another ba- rometer,) have advanced to 82: the speculators are once more in spirits, and are boldly bidding 89 for Consols. The heavy Stocks are likewise better; and - Exchequer Bills are about 75 premium, a sure indication of the abundance of unemployed money. In the Foreign Market, the Mexican Bonds and Mining Shares have been seriously depressed by the news from Havannah. The 6 per cent Bonds have been done at 17. A mail' arrived from Brazil yesterday; but the Stock has not been materially affected either way, the price being still about 58. The public do not yet buy any, and the price is supported solely by the efforts of the contractors of the last new loan. On the other hand, the Shares of the Imperial Brazilian Mining Company have advanced from 9 to 10/. each, in consequence of the continued prosperity of the workings, which averaged 131bs of gold per day for seventeen days previously to the advices. We have not heard any thing further of Mr. Oxenford's proceedings, and the Share- holders seem to think no news good news. Russian Bonds were done yesterday at 100i II Spanish are about si to 9. Portuguese have been near 45, but are again lower. HALF-FAST TWELVE.—Consols have been 89k, but the Market is not now so good.-881 to 89.
