MONEY MARKET.
Sroca EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Government to interfere in the affairs of the Peninsula, have given a shock to The death of the King of Spain, and the alleged intention of the French all descriptions of securities. The French Funds fell 21; per cent. on Monday in Paris. This intelligence caused a decline in Consols, which on Wednesday were as low as 87 for money; an improvement took place in the course of yesterday, and the advance was continued to 87i this morning, on the arrival of the French prices of Wednesday, which were 2 per cent. in advance of the last quotations from that city. Some large sales have since depressed the price to 87. It is generally rumoured, that it has been decided by the Sovereigns at Munchen-Gratz, that Luxemburg and Limburg should not be annexed to Belgium, but should continue part of the kingdom of Holland ; and it is feared that this decision will reopen the tedious discussions of the London Conference. Money has been more in demand during the last three days than for some time
• past; but this scarcity will doubtless be removed on the issue of the October Dividends, which will be paid to the public to .morrow and on Monday next. Some large transactions have occurred in Dutch Stock. The price in Holland continues to decline ; and though several investments are still made in the Bonds in this country, the purchasers are not sufficiently • extensive to absorb the floating Stock, and a decline in price has been the consequence. The 2} per Cents. have been as low as 471 ; but have since, and after having been at 481, closed this afternoon at 473 7. The 5 per Cents. have been at 891, and have since been 913, and close this afternoon at 90 The Northern Continental Stocks are also lower, although the transactions in them have been few and unimportant. The decision of the Greek Government . with regard to the loans of 1824 and 1825, has caused a great fall in the price of those securities; which has been to-day as low as 24. The bargains have, however, been few; and in the present state of the market, it would be impos- sible to effect sales to any extent, even at the previous low quotation. We have been without any intelligence from Oporto; and the Regency has been com- paratively steady, having fluctuated between 21 and 22. Spanish Stock was on Monday at 24k, but has since been as low as 221., between which price and 2311 it has fluctuated fin: the last three days. No intelligence has been received of the movements of Don Cantos, and the next intelligence from Spain is anxiously looked for by the holders of Cortes Bonds. Columbian and Mexican Bonds are less in demand than last week; and the Non-dividend Stocks are generally de- pressed, iu consequence of the fall of Consols. SATURDAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Express from Paris this morning has brought intelligence of a further fall of I per cent. in the French Funds ; but scarcely any effect has been pro- duced on our market. Consols for money have been sq, and are now 8n,
• while the lowest price for Account has been 871; and the present quotation is 87i In the Foreign Market, with the exception of Greek Bonds, all other descrip- tions of Stock are nearly at yesterday's price; the price of Greek Stock has been as low as 21; but some speculative purchases have given firmness to
the market, and several offers of 23 have been refused. We are still without any intelligence from the Peninsula, and the transactions in Spanish and Portuguese Securities have been so few that the prices must be considered as merely Domino'.
