MONEY MARKET.

Smock ExcnAlvox, FRIDAY Arrintwoolt.

The English Funds have been heavy for some days ; Consols having fluc- tuated between 100 and 1001 during the early part of the week, while Stock is evidently pressing upon the market. Just before the close of business, yesterday afternoon, a trifling reaction occurred, and the price has since been 1001 1. Both India and Bank Stock continue in demand : the former from 280, has risen to 286; and the latter may be nominally quoted at from 230/ upwards. Money being still very abundant, the rate of interest on short loans upon the security of English Stock is from 1 to J per cent. The East India Company have lent a very large sum at the lower rate, part upon call, and tart for three months. The Foreign Funds have been but slightly dealt in. Today, however, at the settlement of the Account, money was in demand upon the security of the inferior description of Stock at an interest varying from 4 to 6 per cent per annum. Both varieties of Russian Stock are higher, and in demand ; it toeing scarcely possible to buy the Five per Cents at anything like the mar- ket-price. The Data and other Northern European Stocks are well sup- ported ; but the Sardinian and Peninsular SeSrlitle 4424 'v*ier. Pe- ruvian is steady, in the absence of any inte film America upon the subject of the Lobos Islands. A new Brazil l4ft. kis trumsuneed as having been contracted by Messrs. Rothschild and de-G*1611ml; the amount,

1,000,0001. in a Four-and-a-half per Cent k, ir4 95, 'tole applied to the

liquidation of the Portuguese Five per Cent tock ot1824.- The inteiest and sinking-fund of this latter loan have alway heed provided for by 'die Bra- zilian Government, and a trifling saving w' limbo effected b the substi- tution of a four-and-a-half per cent for a •;ter Today is the last day for receiving subscriptions, and frays Arsturnler of etklications the amount individually apportioned must be sfli The Share Market has been tolerably steady, though symptoms of heaviness have been occasionally apparent. The general result of the week's business has been to establish the closing quotations today rather lower than those of last week. The business in the French Shares has been extensive and general. Prices have been almost daily rising in Paris, and g corresponding improvement has occurred here. Among the new lines, the Dijon and Be- sancon, Caen and Cherburg, and Grand Junction of France, are all at pre- miums of from 21. to 41. per share ; the prices were lower, however, before the close of business this afternoon.

SATURDAY TWRLYR O'CLOCK .

In the English Stock Market, Government Securities are rather firmer, with an improvement of 1 in the Money price of Consols, which are 1001 1, and the same for the Account. In Foreign Stocks, no alteration has yet taken place, and there is very little business doing. In Shares there has been no movement of any importance. Caledonian have been done at 411; Great Northern, 80; Ditto 13 Stock, 120; North Staffordshire, 121 ex div.

SATURDAY Two o'Clucx.

In the English Funds another improvement of 1 has taken plaoe, and Con- sols for Money. and Account leave off firm at 1001 1. In Foreign Stocks, Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents have risen 1 and the Four per Cents I; Mexican is 1 better. There has been no animation in the other descriptions.

In Railway Shares, the firm state of the English Funds has had a favour- able influence, particularly in the leading Stooks, which were more or less affected by the settlement just concluded. Great Western Stock has risen about 30s.
