A Hundred Years Ago " THE SPECTATOR," APRIL 26Th, 1835.
MONEY MARKET.
The English Funds have risen slightly since our last report. With the removal of the fear of political agitation, that confidence so necessary to the development of our financial resources has, as we anticipated, returned. The transactions in the English Funds have been comparatively few ; the attraction of the fluctua- tions in the South American and Spanish Markets having diverted the attention of a large number both of speculators and capitalists from all other operations. Money continues in demand, and is likely to continue for some time, from the large speculations now
going on in the various Foreign Bonds. * * * *
Various reports have prevailed respecting the occupation of Buckingham Palace by their Majesties next month. They ars without foundation ; for not one article of state furniture has yet been placed in- any of the apartments, and the workmen are still engaged in some parts of the interior. Her Majesty takes great interest in its completion, and is desirous to occupy it as soon as possible ; but it is said that the King is not equally anxious about the change of residence.-
