MONEY MARKET.

STOCK Exclaim:ix, FRIDAY Arras/mow.

Reports of the prevalence of the potato-blight, in conjunction with the mena- cing aspect of Irish politics, have produced considerable agitation in the English Stocks. Large speculative and other sales occurred; under the pressure of which the prices of the English Funds gave way rather more than 2 per cent. The lowest price reached was yesterday, when Consols fell to 85i both for Money and Account. In the course of the afternoon the truth of the intelligence put forth by the Electric Telegraph Company was doubted, and an improvement of about A per cent took place. This morning, when the falsehood of yesterday's report became apparent, a reaction to 86A occurred: this improvement did not long con- tinue, and, after being at 85k, the closing quotation is 86A. Bank Stock has im- proved in the face of the general depreciation: the price has been as high as 199j, and is today quoted at 198. Money continues very abundant; the rate of discount, and of interest for loans upon good security for short periods, being be- tween 2 and 3 per cent. The Foreign Market is without material change; most of the principal descrip- tions of Bonds being rather lower than last week, in consequence of the fall in the English Funds. The transactions have been on the whole insignificant, and such as do not require special notice. The Railway Share Market has given way slightly, without any symptoms of severe depression: most of the principal Shares are from U. to 21. lower than lest week, and the present appearance is not healthy. The Brighton Company have issued circulars to such of their shareholders as subscribed for their portion of the Six per Cent Preference Shares, offering them the option of taking additional shares to the extent of about one fourth of their original subscription; only about three-fourths of the amount proposed to be issued having been subscribed for. As these Preference Shares still bear a small premium, there can be little doubt but that the whole will be taken np. Nothing. new has transpired upon the subject of the proposed appropriation of the Paris and Lyons Railway by the Preset

Government. The Shares of this and the other French lines were in some slight demand; but that has ceased, and with it the trifling impulse then given to prices.
