MONEY MARKET.
srocx Excuasecie, FRIDAY AFTERNOON .
The announcement of the New Indian and Russian Loans caused a slight depression in Consols in the early part of the week ; but the renewal of daily purchases by the Government Broker on behalf of the Savings Banks, coupled with a scarcity of stock, checked the decline, and imparted strength to the market, and prices are now equal to the highest quotations of last week. Money has again become very abundant at about 1 11 per cent on Government Securities. Speculative transactions have taken place in the New Indian Loan, in anticipation of the allotments, at 98 981. The French Amnesty, although favourably received as indicative of internal security, and as but the commencement of still further liberal measures gradually to be introduced, did not have any important effect on the Paris Bourse : the latest price in French Rentes is 69 10. The market is exceedingly quiet t'xiah and Cameo's close for money 951 931, and for the September Account,
