MONEY MARKET.

STOOK EXCHANGR, FRIDAY Arrsameas. The English Stock Market has continued steady during the whole week. When the probable accession of Lord Derby to office was known on Monday., Consols rose from 97 to 97t, and the price has since fluctuated between 97 and 97k; closing this afternoon at 97k1. The business transactions have not been important; as may be inferred from the absence of fluctuation. Money as abundant as ever, and no alteration in the Bank rate of discount. In the Foreign Market, the business has been chiefly confined to South American Stocks; which have all been in the ascendant. Peruvian Active Stock has reached 103, and the Deferred Stock 51. It is stated that the sales of guano on account of the Peruvian Government have been for the last two months more than double the amount sold during the corresponding period of last year: thus while the dividend for the current years sure to be provided for there will probably be a considerable addition to the amount of the sinking- fund. Grenada Deferred Stock has also advanced; closing this afternoon at to 10. The notice issued by the Spanish Government as to the intended paying off the Indemnity Bonds, is taken as an indication of increased financial re- sources. Spanish Stock of all kinds is consequently. firmer. Nothing of im- portance has occurred in Mexican Bonds, which have been steady between 321 and 33. Portuguese Four per Cents have also continued firm, with but few transactions. The Bonds of the Portuguese Five per Cent Loan of 1824 have improved nearly 5 per cent; the prices baying reached 93. It is un- derstood that these Bonds will be redeemed at par in the course of l&53; the Brazilian Treasury being in a sufficiently flourishing state to render the operation! certain. It will be recollected that this loan was assumed by Brazil upon the separation of that country from Portugal. The Dutch and Belgian Securities are without material change. Both varieties of Russian Stock are well supported; but the transactions have not been important. Railway Shares are all firmer : the rime in the prices of the principal va- rieties may be stated at from 1/. to 3/. This latter advance has only occurred in one instance—that of the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of which the traffic- returns continue to be extremely favourable. With this exception, however, the returns recently published do not show so large an increase as for some wevious weeks, while on some of the lines a decline is observable. The French Shares continue in demand, and there are but few of the principal varieties on the market; the dealers haring found much difficulty in E01120 cases to provide shares for delivery upon the settlement of the account today.
