MON:EY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Considering the importance attached to the dispute between Turkey and Russia, Government Securities until yesterday exhibited great steadiness; the bond fide purchases by the public checking any symptoms of weakness that might have arisen from speculative sales. Consols advanced on Monday to 984 : which, with the exception of an occasional slight temporary de- pression, was maintained until yesterday ; then they declined I, in conse- quence of the telegraphic intelligence from Turkey, with an increase at Lloyd's of about 20s. in the rate for war risk on vessels to the Black Sea. Today our funds are j lower, owing to a decline of 1 in French Three per Cents, and a report this afternoon that the Russian force is marching to- wards the Turkish frontiers: Consols close at 971 98, with a heavy appear- ance.
Exchequer Bills have advanced 3s. ; closing today at 5 8; and parties who have declined a renewal now regret their decision. Several have been pur- chasing Old South Sea Annuities at par to some extent. Until next April, when they will be paid off, these securities will bear three per cent interest. It appears from a return of the Exchequer Bill operation completed on the 2cl instant, that the aggregate amount sent in for payment was 3,110,000/. ; and the new bills accepted at the reduced rate of a penny a day 5,890,0001. Money has been very easy in the Stock Exchange, from the repayments of Exchequer Bills; add out of doors it is not worth more than about 3 per cent on good bills. No conversion of Consols or Reduced has been made this week at the Bank of England; ascribed solely to attention being ab- sorbed in pelitieal events. The last amounts of Stock converted were those effected on Saturday and published on Monday—namely 60001. in the Two-and-a-half per Cents. The Conversion-books have closed at the South Sea House, except to parties abroad. A meeting of proprietors will probably be held on the 23d instant, to decide whether money shall be received for the capital stock.
Foreign Securities have been flat, particularly today ; and they close in many eases with a very heavy appearance. The fall this week has been— Austrian and Russian Four-and-a-half per Cents, 2 ; Five per Cents, 1; Dutch Four per Cents, Spanish Deferred, and Sardinian, t. Peruvian Scrip is 1, and Portuguese Your per Cents better. Mexican has been rather largely dealt in; and on Tuesday rose to 281, owing to the Committee of Bondholders having published the nature of the interview which, at the in- stance of Mr. Falconnet, Mr. Doyle has had with the President; who as- sured him, " that the funds of the Bondholders at the Customhouses shall not be touched in any way by the Government, and that henceforth when collected they shall be shipped to the joint order of the Chairman of the Committee of Bondholders and Colonel Facie." The Stock fell on the arrival of the Baltic United States steamer, with intelligence that a revo- lution had broken out at Vera Cruz on the 17th ultimo among the National Guards, upon an order from the Government to incorporate them with the regulars: The revolution, after three days, was suppressed. Santa Anna had issued some arbitrary decrees, suspending legislative authority, prohibit- ing the possession of arms, &e. by private citizens, and placing the telegraph under Government control. The Stock is today 271 f.
In the Railway Market, a recovery of 108. to 258. occurred on Monday in the leading Shares ; which was well maintained until the fall in Consols yesterday : there was then great depression ; at the close, the difference in some of the principal lines compared with Saturday last was to the following extent. Increase—Lancaster and Carlisle, London and South-western, and Scottish Midland, 11.; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 15s.; East Lan- cashire, Great Northern, and North British, 108. Decrease—Bristol and Exeter, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham, IL ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South-Eastern, 15s. ; Caledonian, London and North-western, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, South Wales, York, Newcastle, and Ber- wick, and York and North Midland, 10s. ; Midland, 58. The depression hi Foreign has been—Paris and Rouen, Rouen and Havre, and Western of France, 11. ; Paris and Lyons, 15s. ; Northern of France, 128. 6d. Grand Junction of France has improved 10s. Today there is no alteration in the English lines, but the principal Foreign are from 10s. to it. lower.
SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the English Market, neither a fall of about li in French Stocks, nor the telegraphic announcement that the Governments of France and England have decided upon sending their fleets close to the Dardanelles, has had any effect on the Funds. Consols for Account are 97a 8. Exchequer Bills 5 8. The acceptance of New Stock at the Bank yesterday was to the extent of 17,7691. 13s. od. in the Two-and-a-half per Cents. In Foreign Stocks there is nothing new at present. Railways are dull ; the bargains have been at the following prices—Eastern Counties, 13; Great Western, 87a; London and North-western, 114; London and South-western, 881; Midland, 71k.
