MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The speculations for a fall, which have been occasioned by the reported mis- understanding with Russia, have been completely counteracted by tae firmness of our Foreign Stock Market here, and the demand- for the various descriptions of Foreign Bonds (which are current with us) on the exchanges of Amsterdam and Hamburg. The slight depression of last week has in consequence been fol- lowed by a reaction far above the price from which the decline took place. Consols for Account have been as high as 693 in the course of to-day ; and close at 84 The Reduced 2} per Cents. and 4 per Cents. 1826 are also in very great demand, at higher prices. Exchequer are steady at 41 to 43 prem. In the Foreign Market, a decline in price took place early in the week ; but it has been follmved, as in the English, by an improvement in prices ; and most of the Foreign Stocks which are in vogue here are now higher than for the last two or three weeks. The demand for Dutch and Russian Bonds has been greater this week than for some time past ; some part of this demand has been occasioned by investments made here, but (in the Russian Stock more especially) the purchases have been principally made by parties whose transactions are gene- rally influenced by the demand for Foreign Stock in the Continental markets. Some speculative sales of Russian Bonds took place on Monday, at 1024; but the purchases to which we have referred have cleared the market, and the price is now 103 4.
The general opinion in the City now is, that if any misunderstanding does really exist between Russia and this country, the interests of all parties are too much concerned in the preservation of peace to allow the fear that the dispute cannot be settled without a war.
The news fiom the Peninsula this week has not been important ; the entrance of General RODIL into Portugal in pursuit of Dun Gnaws, not being consi- dered as authenticated. The continued prosperity of the cause of the young Queen of Spain has, however, given an impulse to the price of Spanish Stock ; and after being 23, it has reached 2C1, and is to-day 231 4. Portuguese Re- gency Bonds are nearly as in our last. Intelligence has been received from Brazil in the course of the week ; but nothing material had occurred since the last advices ; the price consequently has not been affected, and is 66), 67.
