MONEY MARKET.

SEVEN EXCEIANGR. FRID•Y ETERNorni.

The transactions of the week have not been important ; and tl tingls money still continues plentiful, the price of Stock has declined shout per rent. The price of India Bonds and Exchequer Bills, however, con trues the same. nesday last was observed as a bulyday, both at the Bank and Stork Exchange. There is also some intention to shut both these establishmenta on '1' iii next, on the occasion of the Queen's visit to the City. A notice has been he. !led from the Bank, stating that notes intended for discount inust be resented on Tuesday next. and that the answers seill be given on Wednesday the etch, instead of on Thursday the 9th.

Some considerable sales have occurred in Portueuese Bonds, mill a dispo. aition to dispose of their Stock seems to have prevailed ammo) the toad fide holders. During Wednesday, when the Stock Exchange was ciosed, scone sales of the Three per Cents, were effected as low as 21;1 ; and yestesslay, at the open- ing of the market, several parcels of Five per Cent. Sick a ere dispsaol of at • : from that price a reac.ion has occurred, and both the 'lime and Five per Cents. may now be quoted :tom I to 2 per cent, above tl.e !truest prices. Spanish Stock has not improved, althoueh the accounts of die military operations of the Christino forces are mote satisfactoi y than those we hale lately been accustomed to receive. It was expected th,t some notice would be issued by the Spanish Government respecting the Dividenil. upon the Active Stock, which became due on the lot instant ; but nirliing if the kind has appeared ; and it seems that insolvency on the part of the Government has become so habitual, that it is not deemed necessary even to express a regret for the non4ultilment of is engagements. The half. yearly Dividends are now due upon the Spanish Debt, amounting together to about 2,400001. ; and both the debtors and creditors seem to consider the non.payment as a matter of course, and hardly worth a passing thought. The other Continental Stocks are steady. Some considerable transactions have occurred in the Bonds of the Greek Loan, guaranteed by the three Great Powers. The French and Russian portions are current at between 996 and 100, while the English portion is quoted as high as 109k; the latter has re- cently become an object of investment to some of the Insurance Companies, one of them having bought lately to the extent of 30,0001. The liability under which the holders continually labour of being paid off at 100 if their bonds should be among those drawn by lot for reimbursement, doubtless tends to pre- vent any considerable purchase by such bodies. The South American Stocks have improved, but the business transacted in them has not been important.

With the exception of the Brighton Shares, the Railways generally are in a neglected state.

SATURDAY. TWELVE 012LLCK An advertisement has appeared from the Bank of England, sitting that the Stock and Dividend Offices will be shut on the 9th instant, and that all bilis which become due at that establishment on the 9th will be paid on the 8th. The London bankers will all follow the same course with respect to the payment of bills; and consequently the day will be kept as a close holy day in the City. We have very little variation in the prices of any description of Stock here this morning; Portuguese Bonds are, however, lower. The South American Stocks are steady at the following prices—Buenos Ayres 20 to 22 ; Chili 29 31; Columbian 24i 25; blexioan 27 to i; Peruvian 194 201. The Brighton Rail- way Shares are improving, and are in demand at 11. 15s. to V.

SATURDAY. FOUR O'CLOOR.

With the exception of some purchases of Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. end a few tranmetions in Spanish, the business of the afternoon has been unim. portant. The former stock is consequently at an advance of a, per cent., and the latter has receded shout h ; 10,000/. having been sold just before the ei,„, of business, at 19i. The other varieties, both Foreign and Eneish, are at our morning quotations. 3 per Cent. consols 92I f Br/milieu 5 per Cents 82/ 3 Ditto for Account 991 3 Danish 714 1
