MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The operations in Government Securities this week have been affected with the same feeling of uncertainty which in connexion with the Turkish dispute has now so long prevailed ; and the fluctuations in the Funds, though slight, have been of almost daily occurrence. Money has been rather more in de- mand ; which will probably be removed on the payment of the dividends next week. Close attention, however, is paid to the continued remittances of gold to Paris in rather large amounts ; but uneasiness on this point is in a great measure removed by the purchases of grain on French account. In the Corn-market, the demand on Wednesday, which added to previous pur- chases were believed to have amounted to about 100,000 quarters, caused an advance of from Is. to 2s. The advices from Australia respecting the currency are satisfactory; the rate of exchange showing sufficient money in hand for the payment of gold produce. The Funds on Tuesday declined ; Consols, after official hours, having receded to 98f f, owing to the arrival of lower prices from Paris. Yesterday they opened at a further depression of it, on receipt of the intelligence that the Russians had sunk several boats in the canal of Salina to impede the navigation of the Danube. Under the influence of purchases, the Funds afterwards im- proved ; but this was only partly maintained, Consols closing at 98#1. Today the Funds have declined is on the arrival of rather lower prices from France ; the last price of Consols being 98} I. Exchequer Bills and Bank Stock have not altered. No acceptances of New Stocks in exchange for Con- sole or Reduced have taken place during the week.
Very little activity has been presented in Foreign Securities ; the princi- pal Stocks as well as the speculative descriptions being the same in most cases as last week. Austrian Five per Cents have improved li; Buenos Ayres and Peruvian Deferred, 1. Spanish Three per Cents and Mexican have fallen I.
The Railway Market has been dull, and the transactions limited ; being chiefly in connexion with the settlement of the account to the exclusion of the ordinary course of business. Upon its adjustment, on Wednesday, no symptoms of revival were manifested ; and at the close yesterday the dif- ference in some of the leading Shares compared with Saturday last was to the following extent. Increase..-Scottish Midland, 11. ; South Wales, 5s. Decrease --Great Northern, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, Shrewsbury and Birmingham, South-eastern, York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and York and North Midland, 1/. ; Caledonian, London and North-western, and Midland, 15s.; East Lan- cashire, London, Brighton, and South Coast, and North British, 108. ; Great Western, 5s. In Foreign Shares the improvement has been—Paris and Rouen, ; Rouen and Havre, and Southern of France, 10s. ; Paris and Lyons, 2s. 64 Sambre and Meuse have declined 15s.; Grand Junction of France and Northern of France, 108. ; Paris and Strasbourg, 7s. 6d. Today the English and Foreign Shares have been flat ; the leading lines have fallen from 5s. to 108. A notice was issued yesterday, by the Australian Agricultural Company, in consequence of the bill for reducing their nominal capital from 1,000,0001. to 500,0001. having passed the House of Lords. The old shares of 1001. each with 351. paid are to be changed into two shares of 251. with 171. 10s. paid. Transfers of Shares after tomorrow must be adapted to that arrange- ment.
SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The English Funds are very heavy this morning, and have declined I, owing to the telegraphic intelligence from Vienna that 12,000 Russians en- tered Jassy on the 25th June. Consols are now 071 A for Account ; Exche- quer Bills, 2 5. In Foreign Stocks the only alteration is in Spanish Three per Cents and Deferred ; the former are li lower, being 45.} si ex dividend, and the latter 22 f—a decays of I. Railways are very dull, although not much lower ; bargains have taken place in the following Shares—Caledo- nian, 67 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 761; London and North-western, 1141; Midland, 70i; South-eastern, 69i; South Wales, 36.
