MONEY MARICET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Tip to yesterday the English Funds had again been steadily advancing, only slightly checked by operations in connexion with the settlement in Console on Wednesday, with a moderate amount of business doing. Some
disappointment was yesterday experienced upon its being made known that no alteration had been decided upon by the Bank Directors ia existing rate of discount ; the vast accumulation of specie, and the proem, extraordinary state of ease in the Money Market, at was expected would have led to a reduction to 21 per cent ;. Consols, in mud. pation, had improved h per cent in the morning, but upon the breaking up of the court some considerable sales were pressed upon the market, and a reaction of more than I per cent occurred, this depression was assisted by rumours of unfavourable news from India, and an mereio in the demand for money for the Continent. This morning the market opened firm again, and Consols were dealt in at 94. At the present moment there would seem to be nothing calculated in any way to affect Enoch Securities adversely ; at the close, however, the same firmness is not as. parent, the closing quotation in Consols being 94 98g. The Govenunest Broker has made one or two important purchases during the week. Bonk Stock marks 2211 220. In the Foreign Market business has been somewhat animated, the chief transactions occurring in Turkish Scrip ; and some serious fluctuations ha, taken place particularly in the second issue, which has reached 21 prem. It is estimated that the difference in price between the first and second, attributable to the speculative part of the public conceiving that the second is equally as good for speculation, besides being cheaper to purchase than the first issue. The No. 1 Scrip after remaining for some time at about I prem. has risen to It prem.
