MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

A demand for money, which it is believed will be only temporary, has led to some sales of Government Securities; and early in the week the Funds declined about k. This partly arose from the payment on Tuesday of 15 per cent on the Turkish loan, amounting to 300,0M. Consols for Money have ranged between 941 and 94 ; latterly there has been a recovery, and they closed yesterday at 94 .1. There has been no pressure for money Out of doors, and. on Wednesday the discount-houses reduced the rate of allowance at call MAI 41 to 4 per cent. The Corn-mar- ket bar+ been declining. The advices from New York mention that a return to flatness has been exhibited -in many of the securities. The accounts from Vienna continue, favourable, and the Money-market there is steadily improving. In Paris, the Funds have been unsettled, but the fluctuations have been slight. Money remains at easy rates in most of the principal Continental cities ; which will obviate the necessity of remit- tances from England. The rate of discount at Paris is 3i per cent ; at Am- sterdam,. 3 ; in Belgium, ; at Hamburg, 2. The specie arrivals from New York this week have amounted to 208,000/. Today there has been very little business transacted ha the Funds : Consols for Money have been done at 93k, and since at 94k, at which they leave off; and for Account at 941 I.

been much in request. The lettere of allotment were issued on Mona); and the first price was 51: it afterwards fill to 41 and closed with great firmness at 6 premium. The highest price was realized on Tuesday, when

it left off at 7 / yesterday it was quoted at 611, and today at 6 pm.

An attempt tis discredit the right of allocating the Epistle's tribute by par- ties in Paris claiming a prior power over that fund has been answered by a letter from the Turkish Envoy, proving beyond doubt that those parties had no claim, as a contract they had not fulfilled had been annulled on their request to be released from their • engagements. A letter from M. Dronyn de Lhuys on behalf of the French Government agrees precisely with the views entertained by Lord Clarendon respecting this loan.

Railways have been dull, and several speculative sales have been made during the week ; particularly on Wednesday, when a fall occurred from 103. to U. in several instances.
