THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EvEmmo.—The slight advance in Consols which we noticed at the close of our report on Saturday last, was sus- tained at the opening on Monday morning, and the price continued for some time at 87/ to 2. ; but towards the close of the day, the market became heavy, and the price receded to 872 to 1. On Tuesday the lowest price was 871 ; on Wednesday, 86i ; on Thursday, 86i ; and to-day, 86/ :

the closing price this afternoon, was 86t to We have thus a fall of one and a quarter per cent from the highest quotations of last week ; and that too, not only in the absence of any unfavourable news, but in the face of a considerable rise in the French funds, the 3 per Cents of which have advanced beyond the highest point they ever touched before. Since the opening of Parliament, nothing has occurred to alarm the public mind. The Funds advanced in anticipation of the King's recom- mendation of the consideration of the Catholic Claims : the settlement of that question seems generally acceptable to City politicians. In short, there is no apparent cause For this decline in our Funds ; yet they not only have declined, but appear likely still further to decline, and for this best of all reasons, that the supply of money Stock is increasing, and has already exceeded the demand. The heavy Stocks have all declined; and Exchequer Bills and India Bonds, which have been drooping all the week, are now worth only 60 or 61. _

In the Foreign Market there has been little or no business during the week, but all the South American Bonds are lower. Colombian, 181; Mexican, 28; Peruvian, 13:—Brazil alone is maintained tolerably well at 63; but Buenos Ayres has fallen to 38, which is nearly 3 per cent. below the lowest price of last week. The prospect of any of those atatcs paying their debts, seems to become more and more remote, and their governors seem in fact so completely engaged in mad disputes with each other, that the claims of mere honesty and good faith are but little likely to be at- tended to.

Russian Stock has been done at 984, and its price is well supported at or near that price. Spanish is a shade better, and so is Portuguese. There is nothing to report of the Share Market. SATURDAY, ONE o'cLocg.—There has been no great deal of business doing, but the Market is heavy and prices lower. Consols for Account 861- to
