MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FR/DAY AFTERNOON.

There has been great steadiness this week in the English Stock Market, and Government Securities have been firm. The investments on the part of the public continue ; and with fine weather, and the accounts of the harvest more cheering, there has been a cessation of speculative sales. Nothing of a political nature has occurred to influence prices. On Monday there were not many transactions, but the Funds closed at an improvement of 1, compared with Saturday last; Consols leaving off at 1001. There was no alteration on Tuesday. On Wednesday the market opened at a decline of 4, on the ar- rival of lower prices from Paris ; but soon rallied. Yesterday a farther im- provement of t took place, and the market closed with firmness. Today it has lost its buoyancy, owing to some sales of Stock ; Consols have fallen

leaving off at 1001, with a dull appearance. Bank Stock was depressed on Monday ; it recovered on Tuesday, and has since continued at the same value as last week. India Stock, 2 per cent better ; Exchequer Bills, 18. lower.

In the Foreign Stock Market, prices have been generally well maintained .during the week, with a tendency to improvement in some cases. There has -been a rise in the following Stocks compared with the last report. Peruvian, 1; Dutch Four per Cents, Russian Five per Cents, Spanish Three per Cents, and Deferred, t ; Mexican, k. Ecuador Stock has not been affected by the intelligence of the flight of Flores. Proposals were issued in the Stock Ex- change on Tuesday for a loan of 50,000,000 francs (2,000,0001. sterling) to the Bank of Constantinople, at par, under the guarantee of the Turkish Go- vernment; the interest, from the 1st October next, to be at the rate of 6 per

• cent; to be redeemable at par with 20 per cent premium, by half-yearly drawings at Paris, extending over a period of twenty-three years : the de- posit to be 25 per cent ; and the like amount to be paid on the 1st Novem- ber, 1st January-, and 1st March next. Of this loan 30,000,000 francs or 1,200,0001. has been subscribed in Paris, and the remaining 800,000/. is in- tended for our market. It is difficult to form an opinion as to the success of the investment, particularly as it is the first loan of the kind that has been introduced either here or in France. On Wednesday transactions took place

at 11 premium ; yesterday the loan improved to 41; and today it has been done as high as 51, closing at 41 I premium.

In the Share Market, Railway lines have been very firm during the Week. Monday was the settlement of the Account ; when, in consequence of a scarcity of Stock, there was an advance in prices, and the leading Shares were from 108. to 1/. higher than on Saturday. Tuesday was a quiet day, with a shade of depression towards the close. On Wednesday, not much business was transacted, but prices were supported. On Thursday, the firm state of the English Funds caused a demand, and the principal Stocks rose from 5s. to 25s. There was then a rise in the following Shares compared with last week—Great Northern, 41.; London and South-western, and Midland, 21; Great Western, 11. 15s. ; York and North Midland, 11.108.; Bristol and F,xe- ter, and London and North-western, 11. Sr.; London, Brighton, and South Coast, U.; Caledonian 158. Foreign Shares have been more in demand, and an improvement has taken place in the following—Paris and Strasbourg, 128. 6d. ; Paris and Lyons, 10s. ; Northern of France, 7s. 6d. ; East Indian, and B.ouen and Havre, 5s. Paris and Rouen Shares have declined 58. In the English lines this morning, higher prices were obtained at the opening, but they have receded to yesterday's, in consequence of the depression of Consols.
