MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY ATTIC:8E00N.

The buoyancy which was so prominent in the English Funds on Saturday last has been renewed this week to a considerable extent: the improvement up to yesterday afternoon amounted to 21 per cent. The news regarding the Turkish question since Tuesday inclusive has been discouraging, and several speculative sales have been made ; but these have only produced a moment- ary depression, the extensive purchases of Money Stock on account of the public causing subsequently a great advance. This demand for Stock, com- bined with the near approach of the settling-day, has produced a scarcity, and 1 more has been paid for Consols for immediate delivery. On Monday the Funds rose about 1 per cent. Consols then closed at 931 41. Tuesday was a holyday at the Bank of England and Stock Exchange ; but some pri- vate transactions took place in the Funds, at a decline of 1, owing to tele. graphic information that 30,000 men of the Turkish army crossed the Danube on the 27th October. This being generally believed, produced a further fall at the opening on Wednesday, when Consols were quoted 92 3, but after seve- ral fluctuations, .closed with great firmness at 94. Yesterday they were done as high as 95k; the intelligence of a collision between the Turks and Rus- sians in Asia producing only a trifling reaction. The market hes been strengthened by a notice on Wednesday from the Bank of England, as au- thorized to pay immediately, upon the application of dissentients to the Con- version, the amount of the petty stocks in the New South Sea Annuities, Three per Cents 1761, and Three per Cents 1726, due on the 5th January next. The discount to be 4 per cent per annum, and no sums of stock to be received less than 1000/. The total amountof the three stocks was 3,134,2401.; of which 754,2391. is to be converted, leaving a balance which may be called for of 2,380,0011. The holders have consequently the opportunity of select- ing some other investment should they anticipate a rise before January ; and the pressure upon the Money Market at that period will now be relieved. A bargain took place yesterday at soi in Consols assented to be reduced to Two-and-a-half per Cent. The shipment of specie to India and China has amounted this week to 433,5004, chiefly in silver.

Today the Funds have declined f, owing to telegraphic accounts from Vienna, stating that Bucharest and other towns in the Principalities were placed in a state of siege, martial law proclaimed, and an engagement hourly expected. Consols close at 941 1 for Money and 9415 for Account.

Railways have been Arm. An advance of 11. to ft Ss. took place on Mon- day in several instances : a slight reaction on Wednesday was yesterday more than regained ; and at the close the improvement in some of the leading lines compared with last Saturday was to the following extent—Great North- ern, Si. 10s. ; East Lancashire, 31.; South-eastern 21. las. - Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Norfolk, 21.; Caledonian, and South-eastern, 11. 15s.; North British, York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and York and North Midland, II. 10s. ; Great 'Western, and London and North-western, 1/. 5s.; Edinburgh and Glasgow, Lancaster and Carlisle, London, Brighton, and South Coast, Newmarket, and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 1/.
