The immediate pressure has since been removed, and money has be- discount the claims of the Stockholders at :3 per cent., there can be little doubt that the state of the Money Market has induced several of them to avail them- dency appeared to be downwards. This gloom was chiefly produced by the come more plentiful : there is little doubt that next week it will be abundant, as, in addition to the issue of the Dividends the liquidation of the Carnatie into the market. The amount of Stock to be paid offi was originally Stock, which will take place to- morrow, will throw a laige quantity of capital 1,500,HM. ; but as the East India Company signified their willingness to Till to-day the Consol lr'arket has been in a state of inactivity, and its ten- must have been advanced by the Company. The amount, however, that will be thus added to the circulation, will doubtless he considerable. The lowest price of Consols for Account has been 84 ; to. day the price has reached 83A, and closes at 8•27, 53. The other English Stocks serums to he quite forgotten : the attention of the jobbers and speculators seems to be entirely absorbed by the Spanish and other Foreign Stocks; and except during this morning, the English Market has been almost deserted. Some few transactions have occurred in Dutch Stock, at slightly improved prices. Russian, Danish, and the other Continental Stocks, are nearly at our last quotations. The fluctuations which have occurred during the week in Spanish Stock have not been of the usual extent ; neither have the ope- rations been of the ordinary magnitude. A disposition to sell has !sem mani- fested by some large holders, and very extensive realintions have taken place : the price, therefore, has not been so well maintained ; and after being at 59i, bas been as low as 484, closing this afternoon at 49:ij. The Bonds of the Por- tuguese Regency Loan have been in considerable demand, and a clear rise of more than 3 per cent, has taken place in them. Brazilian Bonds have also im- proved materially in price ; the recent advices from Brazils being generally of a very favourable character : the price has been as high as 791, and is this after- noon 78% 1. The anticipated recognition of the South American Republics, by the Government of Spain, has not produced any material effect on the public securities of those States ; the eagerness of speculation having long ago fore- stalled all increase of value likely to arise from the announced probability of such a measure. Some little demand has existed for Buenos Ayres Bonds, which have been as high as 84: but it has not been sustained, and the price of the Stock is at preseut nominally 33. SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
