MONEY MARKET. STOCK EXCRANOR, FR/DAY Arrinnoott. -

The English Stock Market has been very firm, with a glow but gra al advance, until the price of Consols has today reached 971 for Money' The

business transacted has not been important; its chief eharacte having been the general continuance of investments, by which almost ftlt the float- ing Stook has been absorbed. The other Government Stocks have advanced proportionally. Bank Stock has also improved, and is today as high as 2141 ; while India Stock is also higher, being tacky 2621. Money continues very abundant ; the rate of discount from 21 to 3 per cent.

Some of our contemporaries are busy discussing the law of partnership,

84 24 , with a view to the introduction of the French system of " eoaxmapdite," or limited partnership : and an illustration of this system will be found in the condition of the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire Banking Company, as set tbrth in a petition presented by one of the shareholders, for bringinvit under the operation of the Joint Stock Companies Windirw-up Act. We should state, that the concern hopelessly -insolvent, and t . t addition to the loss of the entire subscribed capital, it is estimated that the share- holders will have to contribute about 400,0001. to meet existing liabilities. The chief item of loss is under the head of "dormant accounts," amounting to 6347831.; which sum has been advanced by the Directors upon insaf- ficient security, and will in all probability be totally lost. The business of the Foreign Market has been on the usual limited scale. Some slight animation has been observable for the last two days. Russian Stock has been in better demand, principally by the brokers employed by houses connected with France. The price has reached 101i : the:business, however, has been limited, iu consequence of the very small quantity of Stock at market. MIA of the other current varieties are without material change, though generally at rather 'better prices, in consequence of the improved appearance of the English Funds. Some, fluctuation occurred in the Railway Share Market, and a general ad- vance took place in most of the current varieties. This improvement has not, however, been maintained, and today's prices are but slightly higher then those of last week. Midland Stock, however, is about 2/. higher ; from 461 it rose to 50, and is today 484. The French Shares are rather firmer' in consequence of the market in l'aris having been steadyfor the last two days ; but we can- not notice any revival of the foreign demand.
