MONEY MARKET.

erica ESCRANOR, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The fluctuations of the English Funds have been of the same character as those noticed last week, and nearly within the same limits. The closing quotations of this afternoon are not quite so good as those of yesterday; Consols for Money. (which had reached 97) closing at 961 k—for the August Account (which had reached 971) at 961 97. Money is still abundant, and there is no change in the rate of discount. In the Foreign Market, the business has been unimiaprtant. The last pay- ment upon the Scrip of the Russian Four-and-a- 1 per Cent Loan took place on Monday, and all dealings in this security are now in the paid-up &a*: the price has ranged from 96 to 961 ex-dividend for July, which is equivalent to a premium of 51 to 51 upon the Scrip. The Northern Euro- pean are all in limited demand at the quotations of lee week. The South American Securities are without material change or large transactions. Mexican Benda declined about per cent, and the market was heavy for a day or two : but the receipt of nearly 45,000 dollars by the Thames West Indian mail-steamer' on account of the dividends, has given an upward im- pulse to prices, and today. quotations of last week have been reestablished. The transactions in Spanish Stock have been: unimportant, and the quota- tions of both varieties are without change. The Railway Share Market is heavy. With the exception of the North- western, scarcely any of the prices quoted last week could now be realized. The decline is not considerable; ranging from 1/. to 2/. for the larger class, and from 2s. 6d. to 108. for the minor varieties. This downward movement is connected with a belief that the dividends for the half-year just ended will not exceed those last paid. This is the most unfavourable portion of the year ; the larger amount of receipts is invariably realized in the six months ending in December. There IS, however, so little disposition for speculation in Railways at present, that if dividends generally should fall much below the tariff of the last half-year, we must expect a general decline in prices.

There is no change or business of importance occurring eithei in the Eng- lish or Foreign Funds, all of which are nominally at the quotations of yes- terday. The only circumstance worthy remark in the itt ilway Share Mar- ket is a disposition to sell Midland Stock, induced by the proceedings of the specialmieeting held yesterday upon the subject of the Fifty-pound Shares ; the original Stock of the Company being freely offered at W--the closing price of yesterday ; we cannot, however, hear of any actual bargain having occurred.

The English Funds close at a decline of nearly 4 per cent, the closing quo- teflon of Consols for Money being 961 and for Account 961.
