MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EZCHANGE, FRTDAT AFTERNOON.

The English Funds were very firm on Monday, and the price of Consols for money reached 931. Some rather considerable sales then occurred, aqd the price fell to sai on that day, and afterwards to 921: again it rose to 935, and closes at 931 for Money and 931 I for Account. These fluctuations appear to have been without any political character—owing solely to the pressure -Upon the market; which has been diminishing for the last few days, and the price has consequently become firmer. Money, though rather more in demand in the Stock Exchange, is still obtainable at a low rate of interest—from 11 to 2 per cent. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds were at one tune 2 per cent below our last quotations; intelligence having been received by the West Indian mail, on Tuesday, of insurrectionary movements in some parts of the Republic. A better feeling has been observable during the last day or two ; and after being at 27, the closing price is 261 h. Portuguese Bonds are without ma- terial change. Spanish Stock, which had been depressed, is in demand this afternoon, in consequence of intelligence of the passing of the Tariff Bill by the Senate: the price of Active Stock advanced to 181, and that of the Three per Cents to 341. Russian and Dutch Stock are but little touched, and prices are not quite so firm as last week. Some transactions have occurred in Danish Three and Five per Cent Stock, at an advance of from 2 to 3 per cent upon our last prices: the Three per Cents, which were at 66, have been in de- mand at 69, and the Five per Cents at 94 and 95: the latter quotation equiva- lent to 8 to 9toremium for the Scrip of the Five per Cent Loan. The South American Bonds are without any transactions of importance: they are in general lower, in consequence of the want of activity in the English Funds.

The principal Railway Shares are nearly at the prices of last week; the trans- actions having been unimportant. Eastern Counties, which had been as high as 9i, have gone back about 10s. The business in French Shares has been quite unimportant.

The French Funds were without material Change in Paris yesterday. The closing price of the Five per Cents being 87.70, and of the Three per Cents 53. sq. Our own market opened firmly, the first' quotation of Consols for Money being 93k; the price has since reached 93k, and is now 93i, i for Money and 931 for Account. We have to notice an influential purchase of Reduced Three per Cents, and one of Long Annuities; the latter at 9, the highest price at which these securities have stood for some time. The only change in the Foreign Mar- ket is in Mexican Stock, which has improved in consequence of the resolution of the Government to determine the Agency of Messrs. Schneider and co., and the causes assigned for such a course. The present price is 27*, being an advance of from i to I per cent upon yesterday's quotations. Spanish Stock continues in demand, without any material improvement in price. -Nothing of importance has occurred in the Railway Share Market. 3 par Cent Consols 93} Danish 3 per Cents 68 -70
