MONEY MARKET.

From this statement it will be perceived, that all the Government securi- ths have advanced about per cent.; that India Stock has improved 4 per cent. ; that the premium upon Excherpter Bills has risen 4s.; and that Bank Stock has experienced a decline of 24 per cent. The actual depressimt of this security as compered with the price un the 3d June, has at one time been 31 per cent.; ihr though it is quoted to- day at 1734, it has been in the course of the u eel: as low its 173; the reasons winch we gave for the fall on a previous occasion still operating prejudicially.

The issue of the Dividends lots mode money plentiful; which circumstance in conjOnetion with the investments it:malty made at this period of the year, Las given firmness to the money-market, all the Government Funds having been in the ceurse of the week quoted front an to per cent. above to-day''s prices.

The high price of the French Funds lots induced ninny purchases of Euro. pean Continental Bonds; and the prices of those most commonly dealt in On Our Exchange have improved. Dutch Two-and-a-helf have risen to 534 Russian Five per Cents., to 1161 ; Danish Three per Cents. to Sq.

Brtwilian Bonds Leo also experienced an improvement of 2 per cent., and are quoted at SO. This rise it not attributed to any favourable intelli,gence front the Brazils, but simply to an absorption of nearly all the floating stock by investments. 'The other South American Securities are without material variation, as are the Mexican Builds,

The Portugueee Securities were depressed during the early part of the week; and in the course of yesterday the price of the Five per Cents, was as low as 3,4, and the Three per Cents. were at 23/. A huge purchase of the latter description of security was made at the lowest price; an immediate reaction consequently took place; and the quotations of to-day are nearly ?, per cent. above the lowest prices of yesterday.

Spanish Active Stock has risen very materially. It has long been evident that the civil war would end by the flight of CAI:11E1(A hit,, France, or his sur- render; and although such an event could not fbil (as it has thou e) to produce a favourable impres:lon upon tile price of the Bonds, the market was com- paratively neglected, and remained thin some time after the news beceme known between 27 and 271, : in the course of yesterday morning, however, the price began to improve, rising 274 before the close of business; a further advance took place this moreing, when it was known that the elosieg price of Wed- nesday in Paris was 29A, and an improvement from the opening price or 28/ to 281 was soon effected. The market has since given way, and, after being at 1I5, closes at 2:-;1.

There has not been any yen- ;.nportant besiness in the Railway Shares. The Blackwell have experienced a decline, and were at one period. 30s. per share below the price of' Saturday lust ; an exaggerated report of the confusion and mistakes consequent upon the first opening of every railway having ope- rated unfavourably upon the price of the shares. The steady progress that has been ma& during the week, however, has produced a reaction, and to-day the price is nearly le above the lowest quotation.

Seventwor, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The English Funds were heavy at the opening of business, Consuls for Money and Account being marked 112. Several pureheses for Money have, however, since occurred et 92/, and markets generally are now firm at the cur- rent prices. The priecipal variation in the prices of the Foreign Funds has been in Columbian Bonds, wleutr in consequence of an extensive purchase by
