THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
Notwithstanding very heavy sales of Stock by the public generally, Consols close this afternoon within A per cent• of the last price' on Saturday.' This • phenomenon (for such it is) is to be accounted for by the extraordinary • rise of nearly 4 per cent. which has taken place in the French Funds within the lest six days, and to the very great abundance of money. The Foreign Markets have maintained themselves (and some have consider- ably improved) against some very large sales ; and as all descriptions of Foreign Stocks are getting into favour with the public, it is impossible to say where the improvement in prices will stop. The rise in the price of Belgian and Dutch 'Stock has been the most remarkable, each of those securities having improved more than 2 per cent• on the lowest price of the week. The price of the foriner in Paris rose 2 per cent. on Monday last, and an impulse was thus given to the Market here ; so that the price, which was on Tuesday 77*, 'has since heel:1.79i, and is now 79*. The tall in the exchange has had the effect of stop- :. ping the importation of Dutch Bonds ; and the price had consequently improved from 44i, the quotation on Monday, to 455, at which price some bargains were Yesterday effected ; but large sales this morning depressed the Market to 45, and the closing price is 454 Russian Bonds are at 103* 104. Brazilian Stock is 51A 51. Danish Stock is steady at 724. Mexican Bonds are quoted 1 per cent. higher than last week—viz. 27* 281. Columbian Stock has been as high as 15, and closes 144. Portuguese Stock and Scrip remain nearly at their last week's pthes, though some purchases had the effect of driving the latter up to 4 dis. The price was not long maintained, and it is now 4t1R dis. Spanish Stock has been steady all the week at the closing price, 6115. SATURDAY, ONE o'CLOCK. Consols for Account have not varied during the Whole morning, and most of the Foreign Funds remain at yesterday's prices. Nothing worthy of remark has occurred to-day, except the arrival of intelligence from Mexico of an arrangement of the dispute between Generals Santa Anna and Bustamente having been effected and tranquillity restored : an improvement has taken place in the Stock, which has been done at 30, and is now quoted 3031.
Pour{ o'cLocx. The revived report of the removal of the Dutch embargo, has caused an im- provement in the Funds. Consols for Account have been 881 Aind are now
