MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY A rrearroost.

The English Funds have been very inactive during the week. The num- ber of members of the Stock Exchange and operators who are out of town is larger than usual at this season, and no intelligeree of a nature to pre- mote speculation has arrived. Confidence in the result of the harvest frora the continuance of fine weather is increasing ; and this coupled with the ar- rival of a large amount of specie, has at times supported prices which might otherwise have fallen through an occasional supply of Stock, thrown on a limited market, to meet the requirements of trade ; which is, however, im- proving. Console have been done at 911 to 91; yesterday they closed at 91 1and are today the same. Bank Stock is higher. Annuities 1885 have been done as high as 17.

Money continues in abundance, and no inconvenience is likely to occur from the closing of the transfer-books next week for the October Dividends, as it is thought the usual advances by the Bank during the shutting will be at 3 per cent. The French rate of exchange remains steady, and removes the probability of gold being remitted from this side. The French Funds have exhibited a tendency to advance, and the demand for money at Paris is said to have ceased.

The bullion and specie arrivals have been 165,0001. from New York, 90,000/. from Australia, and 8000/. from Africa; 28,0001. has been sent to Oporto, Lisbon, &c. .

The Foreign Market has shown steadiness' but the paucity of transae. lions in the English Funds has influenced this and other departments, and the operations have been unimportant. Danish Five per Cents are I better; There has been less doing in Turkish Securities : the Six and the Four per Cents are both rather lower : the Scrip for the latter -will be ready for deli- very at the Bank of England on Monday, and the settling-day will be on Wednesday next. Yesterday, at a meeting of Venezuelan Bondholders, was resolved to reject the proposal of the Commissioners for the arrangement of the Debt, the terms being considered unworthy of notice; the basis of the proposition is a payment of 2 per cent interest on the Active Debt and ar- rears, and 1 per cent on the Deferred. Railways have been a little firmer, particularly Great Western, which was in demand early in the week, and touched 68. Preparations for the settle- ment of the Account yesterday had some influence in supporting a few of the leading Shares: today there is a reaction of 58. in some cases. Com- pared with last week, Midland is 108., and Great Western Si. higher. Lane cashire and Yorkshire, and London and North-Western, have not altered. London and South-Western has fallen 108. In the French descriptions, Eastern of France is 15s., Northern of France, and Paris and Lyons, Sr. better.
