THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EICblIANBE, FRIDAY EVENING.—We have again to report a week of comparative tranquillity, or rather inactivity, in the British Stock Market ; the prices in which have continued remarkably steady, notwithstanding the protracted illness of the King. The transactions of this week so much re- semble those of last week, that our last report might almost serve verbatim for the present Prices are indeed a little higher, but the business has been very limited, and the extreme fluctuation within one half per cent. The quantity of unemployed capital continues to support prices ; and in the ab- sence of ill news, the tendency is still upwards. An unfavourable b,ulletin occasions a little depression, but this effect has always of late been of so short duration, that we should be inclined to anticipate a further and per- haps considerable advance of prices if his Majesty's health were to improve. The price of Consuls last Saturday was 92/ to ; on Monday it touched 924; on Tuesday, 92/ ; and on Wednesday and yesterday, 923 ; from thence it fell to

925 but is now again 92/ to The New Fours have ranged between 101 and ft, and all the other funds equally steady. The demand for money on one or two days was slightly increased, but the rates of interest are still very low. To compensate for the dulness of the English Market, there has been abun- dance of activity in the Foreign; and we have this week witnessed some of those changes which startle the speculator and ought to caution the public. Greek Bonds, for example, which eight or ten days ago were bought at 55, have been sold yesterday and to-day at 454; and although the price is now a little higher, say 461, yet we do not think the Market a whit better, if any considerable amount of bonds were to be thrown upon it. Some of the dealers in Spanish, too, have suffered pretty freely this week ; those, for ex- ample, who bought last week at 23. The price has fallen both at Amsterdam and Paris ; so that the holders here have been thoroughly frightened, and the price at one time this morning had sunk to 17, although now about 18. Yet the buyers • of Spanish Bonds are rational and even wise, in our opinion, when compared with the Greeks, for whom bleeding and a lower regimen seem preparing.

The South American Bonds have been in great demand this week for our friends in Holland, to whom we ought to feel great obligations for taking so many off our hands—Colombian at 26 and 27, Peruvian at 25 and 26, and so on. Mexican Bonds have also been for a time in great demand, and even reached 40, in consequence of the promise of a communication by the Mexi- can Minister. The communication itself has, however, been less valued than the promise of it, and the price of the Bonds is now only 374. In point of fact, it leaves the bondholder just where it found him. Colombian Bonds have also fallen, and are now worth more than 254 or /. Brazil Stock is still at about 74, and has not been much dealt in this week. Russian, Austrian, and Danish, are steadily maintained at last week's prices.

In the Share Market, prices are not quite so high this week generally ; but the only occurrence worthy of particular notice is a fall in the price of the Shares of the Mexican. Company, which were lately at from 23 to 24, and yes- terday fell to 16, after a meeting at which it was announced that more money would be required. The price to-day, however, is higher, say 18.. SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.—Consols have been buying at 924, but are now only 92/ buyers. Not much business. In the Foreign Market, Greek Bonds are a little higher; but the South American Bonds are generally flat; and of the Shares most of the prices are lower.
