• MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
TICe current weak has passed without' any very large fluctuation in the Eng- lish Funds, and speculation is quite at a stand. The approaching Congress being viewed in an unfavourable light by the speculators, many of whom affect to believe that a new crusade against Liberty will be the result of the Royal and kuperial deliberations. The scarcity of money, of which so much has so lately been said, has entirely ceased, as may be inferred from the present price of Ex- chequer Bills, which are to-day at 47 prem. The Foreign Stocks have been more acted on by political surmises than the English ; and the sinister expecta- tiOns of the quidnuncs have been materially strengthened by the fall of the Dutch Funds at Amsterdam and the continual depression of else French Stocks at Paris. The Dutch 2i per Cents. have conse- quently been as low here as 1_1; but have again rallied, and are to- day at 48 g g. There is still a large quantity held merely on speculation; and if any circumstance should occur to confirm the anticipations before referred to, a very material depression must occur from the pr'esent state of the Market. Bel- gian Bonds have declined, from the same cause, to 9314 ; but are to-day rather more in demand. The Continental Stocks are also lower. Danish Bonds are 74i, and Russian Stock is 102. Portuguese Stock and Scrip have fluctuated considerably; the variations in price being in exact accordance with the rumours of the moment,—the defeat of Marshal BOURRIONT, or the capture of Lisbon, being continually reported on "undoubted authority. Spanish Bonds have been fat during the whole week. The speculations for the rise have for some time bin very extensive; and the operators Ling deficient in capital have been obliged to pay large premiums for money to carry over their accounts. The ~sons' purchases have not been sufficient to take the floating Stock out of the market ; and consequently the impulse given by speculative purchases is never rang maintained. Mexican Bonds are still lower than last week. The political troubles of the republic do not appear to be at an end ; and as there is no pros- pect, of remittances, the price of Bonds has declined to 34. Columbian Bonds have participated in the general gloom, and arc to-day 2'3 24 ; although the most recent intelligence from Bogota states that the anxiety of the executive (Government for the arrangement of the Foreign debt continued unabated.
SATVUDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
As is usual on Saturday, the market is in a state of quiet ; Consols for Ac- count have been 8sg i, and are now 88i a. In the Foreign Market, the prices generally are as yesterday ; Spanish Stock is 21 22. Portuguese Bonds and Regency Scrip are a shade lower than yesterday. Del Monte Shares have int-
-moved, and are 57i. SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCE.
Portuguese and Spanish Stocks are the only ones in which any variation in price has taken place. Portuguese Set ip is 20i prem. ; and the Spanish Bonds tli 2.2&. We believe that the present improvement has occurred in consequence of there being less difficulty in carrying over the speculative account than was aatieipated. >perCent.
