MONEY MARKET.

STOCK LECTIANOE, FRUM? AFTERNOON.

There have been very few transactions of importance at the Stock Exchange, and the week has consequently been almost barren of incidents. Money was rather in demand on Monday, when the settlement of the Foreign Account occurred, and again on Tuesday, when the first deposit of the loan to the United States Think became due; but has since become more easy, and dis- counts have been obtained to-day at lower rates than 6 per cent. The whole amount of the United States Bank loan has' been subscribed, and the letters of apportionment were delivered on Monday.. The periods fixed for payment of the deposits are as under— t2.2 per cent. on 17th December.

35 15th January 1840.

14th February In all 92 per cent.

There has not appeared so great an eagerness among the capitalists to em- bark in this undertaking., as has been usually eviuced for the financial opera- tions of the house of ROVISCUILD however, the Scrip was sold yesterday ut per cent. premium.

Expectation has been on tiptoe for the arrival of the British Queen steam-

ship, which was to have left New York on the 3d instant, and has been expected since Tuesday last. The navices by this arrival will be of importance to the holders of American Securities, the Dividends upon which will be- come due in January and February next, and are of course anxiously looked for.

The Liverpool steamer, by the non-arrival of which we were disappointed of a Lisbon mail last week, has at last made her appearance ; but her intelligence has been anticipated by previous arrivals. She left Lisbon on the 611), and Corunna, where she was forced by stress of weather, on the 15th.

The fluctuation of Consols has been but trillin[z; the only variation till this morning having been from buyers to sellers at 94: one bargain was to-day effected. at 924, but the price has since ffillen to 92. Reduced Three-and-a- half per Cents. have improved to 99, and Long Annuities are again rather firmer. Bank Stock is lower, being quoted 177 to 178. India Stock is un- changed. Exchequer Bills have been as low as Sr. die., and are now 4s. to 2s. dis. Commercial Exchequer Bills have been as low as 22s. die., and ludia Bonds at 8s. dir.

In the Foreign Market, Dutch Bonds have declined nearly per cent., the

adyices from Amsterdam received yesterday having brought intelligence de decline of per cent. in the home market the Two-and-a-half per Cents., which were 5:til a, have since been at 54, and are to-day heavy at this low quotation. The Columbian Bonds evinced some symptoms of life on Monday ; but a quantity of Stock having been thrown upon the market by a failure, the price has declined, and was yesterday as low us 23, but has rallied this morning to 24. There is, however, an indisposition to business, as the Conunissioners fur the apportionment of the Debt have appointed to hold a conference with the Com- mittee of Bondholders to-morrow, by the proceedings at which the value of the stock may be materially affected.

Spanish and Portuguese Securities are without any material variation ; the markets for both of them may be quoted as heavier than last week : but the business transacted has been trilling, and the fluctuath Ili unimportant. . The other Foreign Funds are nominally at our last prices, without any busi- ness worth recording.

There appear some symptoms of a revival in the Railway Shares; and some of the ebeapet varieties have improved about 1/. a. share, while the more expen- sive lines are also on the -advance. This 'Hie in price, 'however, has not led to

' • d •

inteXtensive transactions, an can hardly lie consikred an actual itatiacita- ,tion of speculation in these (Mee favoltrite enterprises.

SATURDAY, TWILYR O'CLOCK.

We are still without intelligence of the British Queen. Very little has been doing this morning in the English Funds, and the markets are nearly the same ,as yesterday. Consols have been done at 92 and 92h for Account. Reduced hree-and-a4ialf per Cents. are lower, being quoted at 9134. Long Annuities are, however, firmer, and have been done at 13 15-16 and 13h. India Bonds am 9 discount, and Exchequer Bills are marked at 5 discount, being 1 lower than the lowest quotation of yesterday. In the Foreign Market,Dutch Two. -and-a-half per Cent. Bonds are heavy, and have been 53; while the Five per Cents, are offered at 99. Spanish Stock has improved .per cent. upon the closing price of yesterday, and is 24h h. The other Foreign Funds are at yesterday's prices, and the business in them has been quite trivial. No alteration in the prices or business of any kind in the Railway Shares.

SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.

Consols for Account have alternated between buyers and sellers at 92 all the 4ifternoon, and the closing price is 92, sellers. Exchequer Bills have been done at 2s. discount, and close at 4s. to 2s., being an improvement of 18. upon our morning's prices. Long Annuities have improved, and have been done at 14, being the highest quotation at which they have stood for some time. In the Foreign Market, all the current varieties of Stock close at the morning's prices. The result of an interview between the Columbian Commissioners and theCom- mittee of South American Bondholders has not transpired. The Brighton and Blackwell Railway Shares have been depressed about 15s. per share below the price of yesterday, but the price has since improved at 58. per share. Up to the close of business, no intelligence has been received of the arrival of the Bri- tish Queen.
