MONEY MARKET.
STOCK Excesses, FRIDAY Arrsarroos.
The intelligence of the coup d'etat in Paris, which was received early on price Tuesday morning, sent the pri of Console down about 2.1 per cent—from 99! to 961. As subsequent intelligence from Paris seemed to indicate a peaceful settlement of the political crisis, our prices rose with those of the French Funds, and Consols improved to 97. Today and yesterday, how- ever, the market was skaken by the warlike complexion of the French news, and the price of Consols has again fallen to and closes at 961. As yet, the alarm does not seem to be general, and the prevailing opinion till today was that the dictatorship of Louis Napoleon would be established. A contrary feeling, however, has been apparent since the publication of the second edi- tions of the morning papers, and hence the decline alluded to. Money still continues abundant, though rather more in demand than at the beginning of the week.
The Foreign Funds have fallen very materially, the decline in some of them being 5 per cent ; and though they have reacted to some extent since Tuesday, they have all fallen today, and close nearly at the lowest quota- tions. Sardinian Stock fell from 82 to 77, and closes at 76 to 78. Russian Four-and-a-half per Cents have been tolerably steady in the total absence of business; the price that was 104 being today nominally 101 to 103. Span- ish Active Stock has fallen rather more than 1 per cent, and Portuguese Four per Cents to about the came extent. Brazilian Bonds have experienced an extraordinary rise., and have advanced to 98. This improvement has been occasioned by large investments for the Sinking-fund ; it is said that only about a third of the intended purchases have been made : we have no means of ascertaining to what extent the operations in question have been carried- The Stock is lower again, and closes this afternoon at 90 to 92. The Por- tuguese Bonds of 1824 have also advanced materially ; the improvement in all being about 6 per cent. Prices have not given way in this stock to the same extent as Brazilian, because none of the purchases for the Sinking-fund have yet been made.
The oscillations in the Share Market have been considerable. On the first receipt of the Paris intelligence, a drop occurred in prices; during Wednes- day and part of yesterday there was a revival; but the closing prices today are all from 1/. to 31. below those of the first fall. Since Tuesday, North- western and Great Western have both fallen between 71. and 81.; Midland about 61.; Lancashire and Yorkshire between 31. and 4/. The fall in the French Shares has been about 21. per share. A demand occurred for them on the first drop, occasioned by large purchases on French account ; but this has ceased, and the market continues heavy,
