THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FicxoAv EVENING.—The Account went off better yesterday than wee expected; but exhibited an extraordinary scarcity of Stock, which at one moment was dearer by per cent. for immediate transfer than for payment on the 20th Jan. next. The differences have been paid to-day, with only two or three ex- ceptions, of very little consequence.
Consols; which closed on Saturday at S21, on Monday were down at 82; on Tues- day, advanced to 833; Wednesday, fell to 820-, Thursday, rose to 83i; to-day, were in the morning 831, but close at 823. The Heavy Stocks keep pace with Consols. Money plentiful enough, but Exchequer Bills and India Bonds still low.
Nothing particular to remark of the Foreign Market. Not much business ; but prices aU lower.
On the whole, the opinion in the house was decidedly for a further fall; and this opinion would undoubtedly work its own confirmation, but that the public has been buying Stock, and still entertains a contrary opinion. The course of events abroad will decide between the two. The impression is still that further troubles will break out abroad.
SATURDAY, HALF-PAST TWEIVE.—Consols opened heavily at 824 to 3, but soon recovered to 82t, they are now 823 to 3; but there is little or no business in either
Market.
