MONEY MARKET.

Brock Exemswoz, FEIDEK ArrEEKoolf• The English Stock Market has been without material fluctuation or any very large business; the closing prices of this afternoon being within a shade of those of last week. The rate of discount continues the same for first-rate bills, namely, from l to 2 per cent; and the abundance of money is so great that loans for short periods do not in the Stock Exchange command a higher rate. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Stock iis dealt ex-dividend at quotations ran- ging 1 below those previously obtained when the bargains were for Stock with dividend. This is the only real change in the market; for the transactions in it have been so insignificant as not to have caused any material variation in the price. Spanish Stock of both varieties has been rather in demand; but today the Active are rather heavy; the price of the Three per Cents being well sup- ported. Portuguese Bonds continue in fair demand at the advance of last week, without any large transactions. The South American Bonds are generally in de- mand, without much business or fluctuation. In the Share Market, Mr. Hudson and his lines are the principal subject of animadversion: his resignation of the Chairmanship of the Midland Company was known yesterday, without producing any effect upon the price of the Stock. Eastern Counties have been depressed to 7;, but have rallied again, and are to- day about 10s. per share higher. All sorts of rumours are current as to the report of the Committee of investigation. The general belief today appears the Committee will recommend a dividend upon the share for the half-year of from 2s. 6d. to Ss. 6d. There is nothing in the business or fluctuations in the

other English or Foreign Shares to require remark; the prices of the majority of

them being nearly the same as last week. to be, that

SAIVIDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK..

There is no change in the prices of the English Funds, and but little disposi- tion for business apparent. Consols are 91i 92 both for Money and Account, the closing prices of yesterday. The quotations here given of Foreign Stocks are for the most part merely nominal, the transactions in this department having as yet been insignificant. There seems to be a disposition to speculate in Spanish Stock, the quotations of which are nominally higher; but we cannot learn that any large transactions have occurred in it. The only feature in the Share Market is an improvement in Eastern Counties, which have been done at Si.
