THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.

The evident tendency to improvement which the Stock Market has for some time past exhibited, received a check on Tuesday by the arrival of the Dutch and French snails, bringing intelligence of a trifling decline in Continental Securities. The confidence of the speculators for a rise, and the tone of the Market, were restored by a notice issued by the Bank on Thursday, declaring the readiness of that Corporation to advance money by way of loan, on Stock, and other Securities, at 3 per cent. It has 'been usuallatterly to give a similar notice while the principal Stocks were shut, but the rate of interest has hitherto been 4 per cent.; this reduction will make money more plentiful, and can hardlyrail, in the absence of political events, to cause a rise in prices. Consols opened on Monday at 841 4 for Account, and closed this afternoon at 841 j. Bank Stock has fluctuated during the week between 192 and 189, the latter being the last quotation. The transactions in other descriptions of Stock have been unimportant. Bank Stock and 3 per Cent. Reduced, shut for the Dividends on Tuesday, 34 per Cent. Annuities on Wednesday, and Long Annuities and New Annuities, will close for the same purpose to-morrow. With the exception of Portuguese Bonds and Regency Scrip, the prices of Foreign Stocks have been fully maintained. Belgian and Brazilian have experienced considerable improvement: the former has been quoted as high as 774, and the latter at 514. In the absence of information from Oporto, there has been little inquiry after Regency Scrip; it has remained stationary nearly the whole week at the nominal quotation of 5 and 44 discount. This afternoon, on a rumour that Don PEDRO had been repulsed in a sortie, it declined to sellers at 5 discount; but towards time conclusion of business, the report being discredited, it regained its old quotation. The fluctuations and amount of business in other Stocks are not of sufficient importance to require notice.
