MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCIIAN02, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

There has not been any very material fluctuation in the Fonds during the past week. The market has experienced occasional depressions, chiefly pro- duced by speculative sales, but has always undergone a speedy reaction from the operation of continued purchases for Money : this, however, has been its usual course for some time. The extreme prices of Consols have been 885 and Sq. Money has been in considerable demand, and 6 per cent. has been readily paid for loans upon the security of English Stock and Exchequer Bills. The demand for Consuls has, however, been so great, that the jobbers were more anxious to sell for Account than for Money ; and to-day, when the pressure was at its height and 6 per cent. readily given for loans upon all the other English Stocks, the jobbers were glad to borrow Consols till the Account. India Bonds have been declining the whole week, and to-day, its consequence of the scarcity of money, have been as low as 2os. discount. Exchequer Bills are also heavy, but have not been so much depressed, not having beets lower than 2s. discount. Bank Stock has been done at 159, and is to-day .quoted at 16U; while India Stock has been called 238 to 210, but has not been done lower than 239 ; at which price it is quoted to-day. "The exchanges have improved slightly from the depression to which we last alluded, but arc not quite so high as they were the week bethre last.

The nomarrival of the French mail, due to-day, by leaving us without any late news or prices of French Funds has tended to cheek speculation; and to this cause may be attributed the trifling of business transacted to-day. SATUROAY. Twi•tet; O'CLOCK.

The only transaction of note that has occurred in the English Funds this morning has been a sale by the Bank Broker of 25,000 Reduced Three per ' Cents., at 98. The market has been steady the whole morning, at the opening prices. Consols for Money seem still in demand, as though the nominal price is 89h 1 both for Money and Account there: is a quotation in the Official List of 99i for Money, and of only 89 for Account. Exchequer Bills are lower, viz. 3s. to Is. discount, while small bills are in deniaml, and have been quoted at 5s. and since at 2s. prem. India Bonds are nominally 20s. to 15s. die. India Stock is quoted at 2.10 and 2391: for Account, and Bank Stock at 15912; both prices marking a decline. In the Foreign Market, business has been con- fined to Spanish Active Stock, which opened at 231 ;, but lets been depressed by an influential sale to 23, to rally again, and is now 2:0; 3. The other Fo- reign Funds are heavy, at yesterday's prices, with very little business of any kind. We cannot notice any transactions in the New Belgian Serip, which is nominally 4 to 1 premium.
