THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MonmENG.-Few weeks have passed over with so little excitement as that which is just closing. There has, however, been a gradual rise, for which it would be difficult to account in any other way than the now general one.,--abundance of money, and difficulty in investing it safely for interest otherwise than in the public Funds. Consols for Money, which opened on Monday at 92i 4, closed on Thursday at 931 3, the Account price being the same as for Money, and the May Account price 933 t. India Bonds and Exchequer Bills have varied, the former from 81 to 83, the latter from 77 to 79. In the Foreign Market there has been some bustle. Greek stock has, in eonsequence of a statement made upon the authority of Mr. Rothschild, and which there is no reason to doubt, been held firmly ; and on Thursday there were buyers at 441. According to the statement referred to, the new So- vereign Prince is to receive for seven years, from the Allied Powers, under the treaty for the pacification of Greece, 200,0001. annually, with which he is expected to make a satisfactory arrangement for redeeming the credit of Greece, by paying the dividends on former loans (whether retrospectively or not, is not stated), and to negociate a new loan, if it should be necessary. In the latter case, Mr. Rothschild will probably be the contractor. The French Rentes have been heavy ; for it is now thought that as Prince Polig- nac has used all the influence which he can command to support the Funds in France, they will decline, if the differences between him and the Chamber of Deputies be not satisfactorily adjusted; and the Speculators in French Rentes on our Exchange are therefore cautious. The 5 per cents. will scarcely bring 106, at an exchange of 25-70. Peruvian Bonds have risen to 22, owing to the arrival of an Agent from Peru to negociate a new loan of upwards of one million sterling. As it is supposed that a portion of the new loan will be applied, on the Pitt system, to the redemption of some of the debt, or at least to the payment of one or two dividends, there are people on the Stock Exchange ready to take advantage of the folly of John Bull, who thinks he is being paid, whilst the debt is added to ; and probably the Bonds may be run up to 25 or 30, notwithstanding the remoteness of the prospect of reimbursement. Colombian and Mexican Bonds have also improved ; the former were done on Thursday at 231, the latter at 321. Danish Bonds are at 75; Brazilian, 71-i ; Spanish, 16,i. Altogether the Foreign Market on Thursday was very brisk. ONE O'CLOCE.—There. is no news stirring, but the Market wears an im- proved character, Consols are now 93i, is and for the May Account 933 3.
