THE MONEY MARKET.
CTOCE EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING, HALF-PAST TEN.—ID the early 10.-t of this week, the Funds did not wear so promising an aspect as we have had occasion to describe for some time past, and many of our long-sighted friends fancied that the tide was on the ebb, at 95. Certainly, on Saturday and Monday last, when the price was at 95 to 4, a very little matter would have so acted upon the then wavering dispositions of the speculators, as to have led to a considerable, although perhaps only temporary, fall. But ap- pearances have gradually mended since then, or rather the purchases have so far exceeded the sales, that the price is now 954 to 4. Yesterday morning, indeed, the price was only 954; but the Rothschild party appearing buyers of Stock, and news arriving in the course of the day of their having taken the French loan at a high price, Consols quickly advanced to 954 to I, at which they closed, and still remain. The heavy Stocks are likewise all better ; new 4 per Cents being 1014 to 102; do. 1826, 1051 to 106: and 31 per Cents 1002 to 4. India Bonds are about 73; Exchequer Bills a little lower, 76 to 78. In the Foreign Market all the South American Bonds are higher, from no 'cause or reason, but the reviving itch of speculation, a little further stimu- lated by the example of our phlegmatic neighbours the Dutch, who have been buying considerably, especially of the low-priced Bonds. A reference to our list will show a considerable rise in some of them, especially Peruvian, which have advanced from 18 to 21. Russian Bonds have been done at 110*, and Danish 3 per Cents at 76. Portuguese is in statu quo at about 59 to 60. Spanish, 104 to 4. Brazilian are still very susceptible of fluctuation, but are now rather higher, say, 716. The question of a new loan is still open. Greek is near 3-1, after touching 36. Some credulous persons talk of aid towards Dividenna, frbnarthe savings of the Ring that is to be, and truly they must have large faith who give 341. of good cash for such hopes. Yet we should not be surprised if the gradual rise of these Bonds be a preliminary opera- tion to the bringing out of some new scheme for paying the holders with some more of their own money.
In the Share Market there is nothing very material to mention, excepting that they all maintain their prices.
HALF-PAST TwELve.—There have been considerable sales of Consdls, and
the price has fallen to 95i, In the Foreign Market South American Bonds are rather flat and lower in price. Brazil Shares have fallen 10/. per Share; the account of the workings received this morning have been considerably below the previous report.
