THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING.—Notwithstanding the publication of our Budget, and the importance of the news from Paris, with the proba- bility of a material change in the French Government, the English Money Market has been very little affected during the week. Consols have fluctuated only between 91i and 92k; the closing price yesterday was 924 for Money, and 92a for the Account. The latest accounts from Paris notice an im- provement of one quarter per cent, in the French Funds. In the Foreign Market there has been more excitement. Mexican Bonds rose 3 per cent. upon a rumour that Spain had agreed to recognize the inde- pendence of Mexico. How this rumour originated we know not, but we have pretty good reason to know that it was unfounded. Greek Bonds had fallen yesterday to 37. The depression seems to have been caused by a state- ment as unfounded as that which before drove them up to nearly 50. It was first said that the Allied Powers had agreed to guarantee a loan to Greece; and when the jobbers had obtained a handsome premium, it was stated that the new loan was not to affect the old Bonds. The truth is,-that there is to be no loan guaranteed by the Allies: it is stated authoritatively, that our Government interferes only to place Greece on a respectable footing as to resources, to meet her own engagements for a time. If this be the fact, the old loans, and any new one which Leopold may negotiate, must be pretty much on the same footing. ONE o'cLocx.—The news from Paris to-day has caused little variation, and that little is upwards. Consols, which opened at 94 for Money, are now 921, and 924 4 for the amount.
