MONEY MARKET.

STocK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The business of the English Market has not been extensive; though from the simultaneous occurrence of several sales of Reduced and Three-and-a-quarter per Cents during the early part of the week the prices of the various current securi- ties declined about 3 per cent; Consols for Money having fallen to 923, and the others proportionally. Since Wednesday, the price has improved again, and is today nearly the same as at the close of last week; the closing price of Consols for Money and that for Account being 933. Money continues as abundant as ever, and is easily obtainable in the Stock Exchange, upon the security of English Stock, at the rate of from 1 to 13 per cent per annum; while the discount rate for first-class bills may be quoted at about 2 per cent.

In the Foreign Market there is scarcely any change from the prices of last week. The Scrip and Stock of the Danish Five per Cent Loan continue to im- prove: the latter has been as high as 98, which is equivalent to a premium of 12 per cent for the Scrip. Russian Bonds have declined from 2 to 23 per cent., but have been rather firmer for the last two or three days. The prices of Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cent and Four per Cent Stock are well supported, in the almost total absence of business occasioned by the scarcity of Bonds; the mar- ket being quite bare of this commodity, and the prevailing disposition being for investment. Portuguese and Spanish Stock continue without material variation. Mexican Stock has fluctuated within 3 per cent of 27, but has only on rare oc- casions been quoted above that price. Messrs. Schneider and Co. have published a statement proving that they were never in possession of sufficient funds to pay an entire dividend upon the Mexican Bonds, as stated in the letter from the Finance Minister of the Republic. It appears that the statement of the Minister is meant to apply to the Converted Debt only; and that he imagined, that as Messrs. Schneider had funds sufficient in amount to pay the dividend upon the Converted Stock, they should have applied them to that purpose only, and not, by including the outstanding portion of the Unconverted Debt in the payment, have rendered it impossible to pay more than the portion already paid of the entire dividend. Messrs. Schneider, however, assert that they were bound to divide the assets in hand equally among all the creditors of the Republic. The Peruvian and other South American Stocks are without change or animation.

The transactions in the Railway Shares have been few, and the fluctuations unimportant.

The accounts of the Bank of England for the week ending the 21st July exhibit, when compered with those of the preceding week, the following results-
