MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The slightly improved tone in the English Funds at the close of last week has been succeeded by an unfavourable reaction ; which the purchases of Stock by the Government Broker on account of the Savings-Banks, and the heavy fall in the Corn-market, have failed to arrest. Independently of the demand for money being very active for general purposes, it has been in request for carrying on speculative operations in Consols ; the Account having been arranged yesterday. Several transactions were closed by disappointed parties, who had originally purchased on the assumption of a further reduction in the Bank rate of discount, and who did not like to pay the high rate asked for continuation. A less favourable state of the exchanges, and the anticipation of a further drain of gold to assist various foreign schemes subscribed on this side, have tended to increase the prevailing dul ness. Consols were done on Monday an

at 95/, and today they have been as low as 95; they close at 954, and 95 f for the Account. Bank d India Stocks are the same as last week ; t xchequer Bills 28. lower.

The Paris market presents no immediate prospect of a return to buoyancy, but the variations this week have been moderate. The average amount of bullion in both departments of the Bank of England, for the month ending the 6th July, was 12,540,364/. ; an increase of 1,681,928/. compared with the preceding month, but a decrease of 5,417,732/. compared with the same time last year. In the Corn-market, on Monday, there was a decline of 10s. from the rates of that day sennight. There have been arrivals of specie from New York amounting to 255,0001. Accounts from Constantinople mention that 500,000 sovereigns had been shipped for England : this is favourable for the money-market, as they will be deposited in the Bank of England. The shipments of specie to India and China by the Ave amounted to 675,4001.; of which 662,100/. was silver. Foreign Securities have been steady, and business has been very limited, with the exception of the dealings in Turkish : these have been principally sales, causing the Six per Cents to recede f, and the Four per Cents 1. Mexican has fallen f. The Portuguese Minister of Finance having intimated to the Chairman of Portuguese Bondholders that the proposition for arrangement of the debt has been sanctioned in both Houses of the Cortes, . Mr. Thornton now recommends the holders to convert their bonds.

. In Railways there has been an absence of speculation, and no particular alteration occurred until yesterday, when they fell from 5s. to 15s., through sales and flatness in the English Funds.
