MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Since it has transpired that it was not the intention of the English Go- vernment to dismiss Mr. Dallas, a feeling of confidence has prevailed regard- ing an adjustment of the American question, and the English Funds have- been very firm. On Monday they advanced 1, and Consols were done at 94f ; they have since been higher. Today they have ranged front 94-1 to 941, and leave off at 941 f Consol Scrip has improved 1 this week, and is now 2/ 3 premium. Bank Stock has not altered. Exchequer Bills are 38. better. Money has been in demand, and will probably continue so during this month, owing to the provision for an instalment of 1,000,0001. on the new Loan due the 28th instant, and the accumulation of the revenue-re- ceipts: but this pressure it is presumed, will be only temporary, as relief will be afforded when the July dividends are paid, and from the influx of gold shortly expected from various quarters, including 1,000,000/. that will be soon orer-due from Australia, and large re- mittances from Constantinople, America, and the West Indies. With these considerations, and from the satisfactory appearance of the foreign exchanges, it is thought a further reduction m the Bank rate of discount will not long be delayed. The French Funds have been less variable. In the Corn-market the recent advance has been maintained. The gold and specie arrivals have been 140,000/. from New York, and 443,344/. from Aus- tralia. The shipments by the Ave amount to 190,2341.: of this 10,000/. is gold for Alexandria, and the remainder silver for India. Foreign Stocks have been well supported : some extensive purchases have been made in Turkish, causing an advance of 21 in the Six and of 1.1 in the Pour per Cents. There has been a rise of 1 in Brazilian, Buenos Ayres, Dutch Two-and-a-half, and Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Ceuta. Spanish Three per Cents and Mexican are rather higher. Spanish Certificates have fallen f. From accounts from Lisbon it appears likely that the arrange- ment with the foreign holders of Portuguese Bonds will be confirmed. In Railways there has been considerable activity, and a rise has occurred in nearly all the leading descriptions. The Shares mostly sought after have been the London and South-Western ; they have improved 4/. 10s. In other Shares the advance has been-North-Eastern Berwick, 2/. 108. ; Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 21. 6s. ; Bristol and Exeter" East Lancashire, and Midland, 21.; London and North-Western, 11. 16s. ; Great Northern, and South-Eastern, 1/. 10a. ; London Brighton, and South Coast, and North-Eastern York, 1/.
