MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Stock Market has been in an exceedingly quiescent state throughout the week ; and the only variation which Consols have experienced has been alternately buyers and sellers at 1001, leaving off this afternoon at 1001 11. There has been nothing of an exciting nature to encourage specu- lation. Bank Stock has advanced 11. Exchequer Bills have not altered. India Stock has declined 1 per cent. In Foreign Stocks, only a limited amount of business has been transacted, but prices on the average have been maintained. The attention has been much directed towards Turkish and Swedish Scrip : the variations in both have been considerable. The former, jvhich closed on Saturday at 41 5premium, commenced on Monday at 4t, and after transactions at 31 to 44 , left off st i ; oil Tsiesse,sy varier between 8 and 81, the fins! '',Int.tott being 3 1: on Wednesday it open- ed at 4, was done as low as 24, closing as on the previous day : on Thurs- day it experienced the greatest depression, as well as the most extensive variations. The first price was 2, it rallied to 51, and closed at 41 51 pre- mium. The operations were of course influenced daily by the nature of the intelligence received. On Monday, telegraphic information arrived from Constantinople to the 14th instant, stating that the loan had not only been repudiated, but that remittances would be sent by French and English steamers of the 16th and 19th instant to reimburse the first instalment. It was then expected that a Committee of Stecirtiipholders would be formed in this country to protect their rights and appeal for aid in the proper quarter. The Committee of the Stock Exchange had farther correspondence with

Messrs. Devaux,and Co., the contractors ; but it led to no satisfactory result, except that one letter furnished conclusive evidence of the liability of the Turkish Government, and rendered the evasion the more astounding. The Agent of the Bank of Constantinople had postponed the instalment due on the let November. On Tuesday there were telegraphic accounts to the 16th, instant, stating positively that the loan would not be ratified. Advices from Constantinople to the 18th arrived on Thursday, announcing, that although the ratification of the loan had been positively refused by the Sultan, the Bondholders would be indemnified by a payment to be made to them of

16,000,000 piastres (150,0001.) or 71 per cent on the total subscription of 2,000,0001. The fluctuations today have not been extensive : busi- ness has been transacted at 41, 51 41; the last price is 41 51 premium. The feeling aroused by the prospect of the Turkish Scrip has had an unfavour- able influence upon the Swedish Loan, which at its issue was at 3 premium. It began the week at 1 discount : on Tuesday it was at 11 discount, and on Wednesday was sold as low as 3 discount : on Thursday it rallied con- siderably with Turkish Scrip, commencing at 2 discount and closing at 1 dis- count to 1 premium ; which is also the price doday, with business done at I discount, par, 1, 1 discount. Dutch Four per Cents have fallen 1, Mexi- can is and Spanish Deferred f. Spanish Three per Cents and Sardinian are. 1 better. Railway Stocks have been in request this week from the commencement.. On Monday, prices closed with a firm appearance ; and although a slight re- action too place on Tuesday, there were improved quotations on Wednesday. The chief attention had on the latter occasion been occupied in the prepara- tion for the settlement of the Account on Thursday ; which having been arranged, a rise occurred in several of the leading Shares. London and North- western rose to 1221 ; London and South-western, to 911 21 ; London, Bright- on, and South Coast, to 106 7. At the close of business yesterday, the sm- provement in some of the leading lines compared with Saturday last was to the following extent—East Lancashire, 4/. ; Great Northern, 34 • Chester and Holyhead, Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and North-western, and Lon- don and South-western, 21. 10s. ; South-eastern, 1/. 158. ; Bristol and Exeter, Lancaster and Carlisle, and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 11. ; Midland, 15s.; Eastern Counties, and Great Western, 108. Foreign Shares have continued to command attention. French, Belgian, and East Indian descriptions, have been well supported : an improvement in the following lines has taken place—Northern of France, 2/. 10s. ; Paris and Orleans, 3/. ; Sambre and Meuse, 1/. 10s. ; Grand Junction of France, and Paris and Strasbourg, 11. 58.; Paris and Rouen, 1/. ; Rouen and Havre, 58.; Great Indian Peninsula and Madras, 2s. 6d. A fall of 1/. has taken place in West- ern of France, and 58. in Pans and Lyons.

SATURDAY TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the English Stock Market, Consols, which left off yesterday after of- ficial hours at 1001 f t opened at the same price this morning ; but they have since declined 1, being now ma I for Money and Account.

Turkish Scrip is 41 51 premium ; and Swedish x dis- count to 1 premium : there has been no bargain yet recorded in either. In Railway Stocks there is very little movement at present.
