MONEY MARKET.
Broca EXCILLITOII, FRIDAY Arnramoox.
An advance in the value of the new Indian Loan has taken place of fully 11 per cent upon last week, the public being steady purchasers as much for bona fide investment as for speculation. The Stock is a very favourable one, and nearly one half of the Loan has been already paid up ; the Scrip is quoted 1001 1001, and the paid up 1001 1001. There has been altogether a good business passing in this Stock, Consols but for the settling of Wednes- day occupying little attention : the opening_price of Monday was 95f 951; there was at one time an advance to 951 951, but these figures were not supported, and the Market drooped to the original price. Today, owing to the article in today's ifonitenr, additional heaviness has been shown, and Consols are last quoted 951 95f. Money has been in increased demand, but there is no lack of supply at about 2 per cent. Bank Stock shut, Reduced shut, New Three per Cents, 951 951 ; Consols for Money, 951 95f. No al- teration was yesterday made by the Rank Directors in the rate of discount There has only been a moderate business doing in the Foreign Market this week, prices have been good without any very material alteration. Mexican Stock has improved about half per cent. Peruvian has declined again, the purchases for the sinking fund having been concluded much sooner than was expected. Money continues very abundant, in fact the difficulty ex- perienced by the jobbers is in obtaining Stock, many descriptions being very scarce.
