MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, Fame: APTEENOOH.
The chief feature of the present week in the English Market has been the preparation for and settlement of the Coved Account on Tuesday and Wed- nesday, the quotation being well supported in consequence of the scarcity of Stock. On Monday the first price was 951 951 business during the day was -very limited, and although the Government:Broker discontinued his pur- chases on account of the Savings Banks, (which have been carried on daily for some weeks) the Market:was not particularly depressed. On Tuesday an advance to 9o1 96 took place, and a considerable amount of business was transacted at those figures. On Wednesday another instance of the willing- ness, the absolute wish to believe anything and everything unfavourable of the Emperor Napoleon's policy, no matter how absurd the report, was ex- emplified in a fall in Consols of nearly per cent, and this upon a rumour that *Louis Napoleon was about to demand compensation of Sardinia for the late war. Yesterday the Market was forced down to 95/ sellers. Today another feature presents itself, and all is peace where no -war before existed ; there has been a good deal of animation, and at one moment there were buyers at 96; French Rentes were telegraphed 40 centimes better, adding materially to the strength of the Consol Market. Indian Scrip halt been in active demand, and closes after a busy market Hag lon, or -51 51 -prem.' and the paid-up Loan, 102-1 102k; Bank Stock, 219 222; Exchequer Bills, 25s. 28s.

The Railway Share Market has been quiet and in animate, and up to today dull, with a tendency, to lower rates ; an average rise of 1 per cent has oc- curred since the morning, but attention is principally directed to the settle- ment on Monday, this being the first snaking-up day.

The French Market is fiat and business negleeted. Lyons, 451 36k; Northern of France, 361 37; Lombardo-Venetian, 11 2 prem. : the chief business has been in the latter, but the quotation has varied only to a trifling extent.
