MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXORANOR, FRIDAY Arms:room. .
The English Stock Market has continued in the state described in our last report. Stock has been brought, to, market almost daily ; and though prices have been without material change, money has continued in demand, though without any alteration in the rate of interest. Consols for Money have fluc- tuated between 100f and 3 ; for Account the variation has been from 1003 to 1001; the closing quotations this afternoon being 100f 3 and lool re- spectively. Both Bank and India Stock continue in demand, and scarce. The Three-and-a-quarter per Cents seem to be slightly gaining upon Con- sols; the former having been done at 105,—marking a difference in price between the two of nearly 33 per cent. The premium on Exchequer Bills continues the same. In the Foreign Market, the transactions have not been extensive, though most of the current Stocks are heavy, in consequence of the want of anima- tion-in the Conaol 'market. Peruvian Bonds, both Active and Deferred, have experienced a fall of more than 6 per cent ; the former having declined to 99, and the latter to 59. A reaction has since occurred, and after being at 103, the Active close at 101 to 103, while the Deferred, after touching 613, close at 60 to 62. It is understood that the Peruvian Government decline to purchase the Active Stock in the Market when the price is above par, and intend to determine by lot the numbers of the Bonds to be paid off at par upon every periodieal application of the sinking-fund. The last mail from America brought a newspaper statement to the effect that the Govern- ment of the United States have determined not to recognize the islands of Lobos as forming part of the territory of the Peruvian Republic ; and that instructions had been issued to the officers of the United States Navy, re- qhiring them to protect all Americian vessels loading guano at the islands in question. At the same time, it is stated by, persons here who are likely to be well-informed, that the American Charge d'Affaires at Lima has as- Cured the Peruvian Government of the determination of the Cabinet of Washington to respect the integrity of the Lobos Islands as forming part of the territory. of the Republic of Peru. The next mail will doubtless bring further intelligence; and till its arrival, it cannot be expected that any material improvement in the value of the stock can occur. Both Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are heavy ; but in common with all the others, the buaircess.done has been too trifling to require remark.
The Railway Share Market has been steady, but must be considered as heavy at current prices. A decline of about 30s. has occurred in Brighton Stock. Lancashire and Yorkshire have fallen in about the same proportion ;• while both North-western and Great Western are from 10s. to U. lower. The transactions in French Shares have been few, and no material change in prices has occurred.

The opening prices of Consols were 1003 4 for Money and 1001 3 for Ac- count; at whirl quotations the market has been steady, with but little doing. There is no material change in the Foreign Funds, rtehiesrices of which are all nominally as yesterday. Peruvian Stock is unchan , the prices being 101 to 103 for the Active and 60 to 62 for the Defer ; we cannot hear of any business having occurred in either of them. The Railway Share Market is in a quiet state, the only bargains yet recorded being in shares of an un- important character. No change in prices or business of importance has occurred in the Foreign Shares.
