MONEY MARKET, STOCK Excsaisas, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
In the English Stock Market there has been more activity, and great buoyancy was exhibited in the early part of the week ; caused chiefly by the publication of the Revenue accounts, and in anticipation of the reinvestments on the part of the public which usually take place on payment of the Octo- ber dividends. Monday was,the first transfer-day in the Stocks recently closed ; and the sales having been less numerous than usually, happens on these occasions, Consols advanced lb-namely, to 100. ; which KEE also the closing quotation of Tuesday, after having been a shade better. On Wednesday attention was absorbed by the settlement of the Account ; and the delivery of Stock having been heavy, the Funds declined ., but subse- quently rallied. Yesterday, there was a depression of #, on account of re- ported telegraphic despatches from the Continent of an unfavourable nature. Today, the Market has not altered ; Consols have remained dull at 1001 for Money, and lool I for the Account. Government brokers have commenced purchasing Stock, and on Tuesday about 90001.

The Foreign Stock Market has been very active ; and a large amount of business has been done in Spanish and Sardinian, which have been well sup- ported ; the latter is 11 higher this week.

The Swedish Scrip has suffered from sales to some extent, partly for the purpose of realizing, and also owing to the payment of the first in- stalment: It opened on Monday at 14 2 premium, and has since gradually declined ; today it is only to t premium. There has been a good business transacted in Railway Stocks; which continue very firm. French and Belgian have been operated in freely at an improvement East Indian descriptions have been much in demand.
