MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCII•NOE, FRIDAY EVENING.
The fluctuations in the English Market have not been very great. Consuls for Account were, on Monday, at 874, have since been as low as-87L and closed this afternoon at 870. Exchequer Bills have been steady at 48 49 prem. Bank Stock has improved considerably in price; having been at 20.1, and closing this afternoon at 199. The near approach of the period at which the question of the renewal of the Charter of this Corporation must come under the canside- ration of Parliament, gives to the fluctuations of this particular stock a degree of interest which they would not otherwise command. We cannot learn that any thing is known of the course contemplated by Government ; and believe that the present improvement may be referred to the favourable opinions entertained by capitalists of the resources of the Bank, and to a conviction which is gra- dually spreading, that even if a renewal of the Charter should be uncondi-
tionally denied, the Stock would maintain its present value. • Foreign Stocks still continue in demand for investment, particularly the
Dutch, though the increased importation prevents any great improvement in the price. Our Continental neighbours seem determined to take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded them for further loans; and accordingly the last advices from Vienna brought intelligence of a new Austrian Loan of between three and four millions sterling, which, added to the Russian Loan, and the recent issue of Belgian "Bons .Royaux," will enable them to accommodate their English friends with pretty securities for investment to the amount of nearly ten millions sterling. Greek and -Mexican Bonds have been in great demand this week ; the former were much sought after to supply the Dutch
Market, and the price has been as high as 36, but is now 33 to The recent arrivals from Mexico having brought favourable intelligence, the Stock of the Republic has been at 35, and is now 33h.
