MONEY MARKET.
STOCK ETCH/110X, FRIDAT AlT/ILICOOX.
The principal event this week, that has had although a temporary the most influence on the Funds, has been the attempted assassination of the Emperor of the French. Upon receipt of the intelligence, on Monday, Con- sols declined nearly 1 per cent, and were done at 88i ; but they speedily rallied 1, and have been since done at 89. Yesterday the Bank of England reduced their rate of discouut to 4 per cent : but this measure had been, long anticipated, and it produced no effect on the Funds. The discount- houses afterwards gave notice of a reduction from 31 to 3 per cent in their rate of allowance for money at call. Today the Funds have been unsettled ; and during the morning, Consols touched 881, leaving off at 88/ for Money and Account. The absence of encouraging news from Sebastopol is frequently alluded to, and has prevented a More fa- vourable -reaction. It is, however, very probable that Consols will rise previously to the settlement of the 10th instant, from the facts that the dealers are very short of stock, and they make no charge for continuation to the subsequent account,—an unusually short one, fixed for the 30th instant, owing to the shutting of Consols on the let of June. During the general depression on Monday, Omnium was done at 1 discount ; it is now 1 premium. The Scrip receipts for the Loan were ready for delivery this morning at the office of the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England. A. fall of 1 per cent in the French Funds, that occurred early in the week, has been recovered ; and the rate of exchange at Paris con- tinues favourable.
The Corn-market has been again higher. The gold and specie arrivals have comprised .280,0001. from New York, 180,0001. from the West Indies, and 8000/. from Lisbon, &a The export of specie by the Indus was large, amounting to 376,3141.: the greater portion was in silver for India and China.
Tuesday being the period for the half-yearly balance at the Bank of England, the transfer-offices were closed, audit was a holiday at the Stock Exchange. Foreign Stocks have been dull; and Peruvian and Russian Four-and-a- half per Cents have fallen 1; Turkish descended to 721, but is now f higher.' The passing of the bill authorizing the sale of Clergy and Public lands in Spain, but making no provision for the Certificates, occasioned a full of 1 per cent in the latter ; they were done at 3, and are now 4 1. In Railways, owing to the doubtful aspect of affairs, there was little doing until yesterday ; when, the alteration in the Bank rate of discount being considered likely to promote speculation, an advance of 10s. to 15s. oc- curred in several instances; and with a few exceptions this has been main- tained. Many lines which had been previously depressed now stand at lust week's rates. Bristol and Eveter has fallen I/. The majority of the pro- prietors in this company have consented to the several bills before Pasha- ment for enlarging powers, promoting improvements, and increase of capital. Foreign Shares are higher, and the French descriptions have improved from 10s. to 1L
