THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING.—There has not been much ex- citement during the week, and the over sanguine speculators for the rise
have been rather disappointed; as the closing price of Consols for Account, which was on Saturday last 914, was yesterday only 91i, and for Money 914. The opening price on Monday was the same as on Saturday, viz. Consols for Money 91f 4, and for the Account, 91 i4. On Tuesday the price fell a little, owing to extensive sales, partly in realization, and partly, as it is said, for the purpose of procuring Money to assist the manufacturers at Manchester and other manufacturing towns. From Tuesday until yesterday, the prices fluc- tuated slightly, but the business was not extensive. There have not been any political rumours to affect the Market, and even the stories about great financial measures have died away.
In the Foreign Market there has been little doing ; consequently the varia- tions in price have not been important. It is the opinion of the great brokers, however, that if attempts had been made to press large sales, there would have been a material depression in the prices. Brazilian Bonds, which on Monday opened at 66, were yesterday at 054, being a fall of nearly one per cent.; whilst Mexican Stock, which on Monday was at 20,, was yesterday at 21, notwithstanding unfavourable reports from Mexico. This Stock, how- ever, is so low, that there is, as the jobbers say, room in it for speculation. Danish Bonds are at 724; Greek 194; Peruvian 134; Portuguese 484; Prus- sian Iola I. The last quotation of Russian Stock was 1044; Austrian 1044. ONE o'ctocx.—There is very little doing in the Money Market this morn- ing. The following are the quotations.
