MONEY MARKET,
STOCK EXCHANGE. FETDAT AFTERNOON.
Confidence in an early adjustment of the Turkish question has this week prevailed to some extent., causing an advance in the Funds hereand in Paris. The public have been guided in their opinion by the nature of the news, an- ticipating a good result from the mediation of the Allied Powers. The ac- counts, however, from both Turkey and Russia, still report that the arma- ments are perseveringly adhered to. As respects the latter country, the news of yesterday conveyed the rumour that the Emperor Nicholas accepts the proposals made by France and Great Britain ; and that the Russians were fortifying Jassy and Bucharest. From the information yesterday from Tur- key it appears the invasion of the Danubian Principalities had caused great excitement, and a Ministerial crisis is considered inevitable. The Funds on Monday advanced / : Consols then reached 98 /, and would probably have been higher had not the state of the weather caused a rise of 2s. to 38. in the Corn-market. On Tuesday, the settlement of the Account was effected, and a further rise of / in the Funds occurred. Consols then closed at 981 1; at which they have ruled up to this afternoon inclusive, with the exception of an occasional buyer at 98/. Great interest is felt for the arrival of the protest of the Porte against the occupation of the Principalities, and the reply to the Russian manliest°. Advices from Paris on Tuesday refer to the arrivals of large quantities of gold : the Mint has consequently extended the limit of its redelivery in coin to forty-two days. It is now considered probable the exportation of gold from England will cease as respects both France and Germany. Today the accounts from Paris show a decline of more than / in French Three per Cents, consequent upon depression on the Vienna Ex- change. Here the Funds have not altered ; Consols closing 981 I for Money and Account. Exchequer Bills have rather improved this week ; being now par 3 premium. Bank and India Stocks have not altered. The Foreign Market has been favourably influenced this week by the im- provement in Consols: an advance in the following Stocks has occurred— Portuguese, 24; Sardinian, 11; Brazilian, Danish Five, Dutch Four, Rus- sian Five, and Spanish Three per Cents, 1; Ditto Deferred, ; Dutch Two- and-a-half, and Russian Four-and-a-half per Cents, f. Venezuela has fallen 2 during the week, owing to the news on Monday by the West India mail of the outbreak of a revolution. On Wednesday the Stock was done at 37, and is today 37 9. Sales have taken place in Grenada Deferred without producing any effect : these were based upon recent advises from Bogota, describing anarchy in the capital through an attempt of a party of workmen to murder one of the Opposition Deputies. General Obanda, the new Presi- dent, is said to have taken part with the rioters. Railways have partaken of the general feeling exercised in other mar- kets; and an advance of 108. to I/., which occurred on Tuesday in several of the principal Shares, was firmly maintained up to the close ot. yesterday, when the improvement in some of the leading lines compared with last Sa- turday was to the following extent—York and North Midland, 21.; South- eastern 1/. 15s.; Caledonian, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, and York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 11. 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland, 1/. 2s. 6d.; East Lancashire, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Great Northern, Great Western, London, Brighton, and South Coast, and New- market, 1/. ; London and North-western, 15s. ; Bristol and Exeter, Chester and Holyhead, London and South-western, and North British, 10s.
