MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
In the early part of the week all descriptions of Stock were quoted at lower prices than on Saturday, and Consols for Money Were as low as 86k; but on Wednesday an improvement took place, and Consola for Account continued to rise till yesterday, when the price was as high as 88: "a, reaction has, however, taken place to-day, and, after having been at 67, the closing price is 873, a. Bank Stock has improved, having been on Tuesday 1954, and to-day at 197/1. India Stock has remained steady between 207 and 208. Exchequer Bills were on Monday and Tuesday at 45s. prem., but have since improved, and are to-day • at 523. prem. The large purchases recently made by the Bank of this descrip- tion of security, by withdrawing a considerable amount from circulation, have
given unusual firmness to the Market. •
The fluctuations in the Foreign Market have not been of so extensive a nature as those of English Stock. The business has principally been confined to Brazilian, Dutch, and Belgian Stocks. The anxiety of the public for investment in Dutch securities does not seem to have abated ; for though large quantities continue to be brought to market by brokers who are supposed to act for the agents of Amsterdam mercantile houses, the demand has fully equalled, and in some qH.SCS exceeded, the supply. The delivery of several large parcels of Bonds being frequently postponed till the arrival of the next steam-boat, enables the importers to complete their contracts. The prices have not varied more than per cent. ; 455 being the highest, and 44k the lowest price of the week. Several large sales have beeneffected to -day, and depressed the market from 45k to 45k. The demand for Belgian Stock having ceased in Paris, the price has declined here; and though in the beginning of the week it was 84, it is to- day 823, 83. Brazilian Bonds have been as high as 59, and close at 58h : this improvement is attributable to the arrival of remittances for the Dividends. In- telligence of a favourable nature has been received to-day from OportO ; and the Stock, which was at 50, has been at 521, and closes at 52i. The Scrip has im- proved from 5 dis. to 34 dis. Spanish Stock is firm at 163 17. Mexican
Bonds have improved to 33. •
SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK.
We have been almost in a state of inactivity here during-the whole morn- ing. Consols for Account opened at 874, and are now 87,14. The Foreign Stocks are generally quoted at a trifling advance on yesterday's prices. The Spanish is the only market in which business to any extent has been effected. The price is about per cent, higher than yesterday. Portaguese Bonds and Regency Scrip are firm at yesterday's quotations.
