MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY ArrErewoox• The depression of the French Funds in the early part of the week caused a corresponding movement in our own, and the prices of the Government Securi- .ties underwent a decline of about a per cent from our last quotations. The parties connected with the pigeon-expresses have been almost the only spe- culative operators ; and as they receive in the early part of every day the closing prices of the French Funds of the previous afternoon, their operations are of course guided by the fluctuations of the Paris market. Till today they have almost always sold stock ; but this morning one of the brokers who is he- - Belled to act for them was a large buyer, and the consequence of his operation _has been to force the price of Consols, which had previously been at 983, up to 99. Some sales for money have, however, since occurred, and the closing quotation is 98i . The books of the various Stocks the dividends upon which become due in October, will all close in the course of the next and following week, on the days given in the subjoined list. The New Three-and-a-ball per Cents will also close, in order to their amalgamation with the other varieties of Three-and-a- half per Cent Stock, which, by the reduction, will in future become Three-and- -a-quarter per Cents. The holders of the New Three-and-a-half per Cents will therefore receive 17s. 6d. per cent in October, being the amount of three -.months' dividend. In future, their stock will merge into the general mass of the Three-and-a-quarter per Cent Stock ; and the dividends upon it will become _payable in April and October, instead of in January and July as heretofore; the ;object being to equalize the pressure of the quarterly payments on the public

Orme.

Some fluctuations have occurred in Dutch Twmand-a-half per Cents ; but though the transactions in this Stock have been more extensive than usual, it has not varied more than 3 per cent, and closes at the quotations of last week. The operations in almost every other description of Stock have been quite trifling, and the Foreign Stock Exchange has been almost deserted. . Some considerable transactions have, however, occurred in Railway Shares, and generally at improved quotations. We must, indeed, except tlimSliares of the Birmingham and Gloucester line, which have experienced .a fall of 131.; having declined from 114 to 101, at which price they were yesterday quoted. An improvement has occurred today, and the price has been as high as 105. This remarkable depression was occasioned by the mall amount of dividend declared at a recent half-yearly meeting—only 25s. per share. The French Railway Shares-were at one period about U. lower than our last prices ; but they have rallied again, and may today be quoted nearly as they were last week. SATURDAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK

Nothing of importance has occurred either in the English or_Foreign Funds, and prices are the same as yesterday.

Some considerable transactions have taken place in the Railway Shares. The only alteration of importance being in those of. the Greenwich line, which have experienced a decline of 11.; having fallen from 9 to 8, in consequence of the proposed arrangement for leasing the line tathe South-eastern Company having been abandoned. It will be seen that the Birmingham and Gloucester are re- covering, being quoted today at 107; thus marking an improvement of 6/. fram Thursday's price.
