MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AErzu woos.

The result of the trial of M. Bernard caused the market for English Se- curities to open on Monday morning with considerable dulness. Intelligence of lower prices on the Paris Bourse being telegraphed during the day, stocks continued heavy until after the official close, when a rally of 1 per cent oc- curred. The business of the week, although of an unimportant character' has nevertheless been more active than for some time ; there is an extraor-

dinars, abundance of unemployed capita; the rate for money being about 1 per cent ; at the Bank there has been no increase in the demand for accom- modation, but the Directors have not yet decided upon a reduction of the present rate. The Budget was very favourably received, and indeed but for the 'messy feeling produced) by the Bernard cane, everything seems calcu- lated to lead to higher values and better markets,' there have been some most important arrivals of specie during the week. The extreme tinctuation since Monday does not exceed I per cent. Consols were first quoted 964 I, and close today 964 97. Exchequer Bills rather flat, 338. 37s. -Bank Stock,

220 ie D222. Toreign Stock Market has been perfectly inactive throughout the

week, very little business of any kir+a being transacted; Stocks are upon the whole at much about the same prices. Venezuela have advanced 14 per cent. Sardinian is quoted flatter, that stock now ruling at 89 90, the d iffi- conies with Naples creating some uneasiness. Mexican leaves off 20 201 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Conk, 8182; Peruvian Three per Cent, 56 57; Turkish Six per Cent, 974 97}; Ditto Four per Cent, 104 104i ; Russian Five per Cent, 110 1i2 ; Buenos Ayres, 70 80; Spanish Three per Cent, 434 444 ; Ditto DeferrW2,6k 27.; Venezuela, 34f 35k. An average business has been done in English Railway Shares, but al- though the variations have occasionally been more than 1 per cent, the last prices this afternoon show little change upon those of Saturday. The leading lines close as fellews—Midiand, 92 924; Great Western, 664 561 ; London and North-Western, 934 94 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 89 894 ; London and South-Western, 46 464; North British, 521 53; Caledonian, 424 424 ; London and Brighton, 105'106 ; South-Eastern 21 24; Eastern Counties, 114 4; Great Northern, 25125i. The markets have exhibited dulness all day. In the French Market there is nothing to remark ; prices flat. Paris and Lyons, 314 32; Paris and Strasbourg, 274 274; Northern of France, 374 374. Indian Shares are steady, but with little (Wog in them.
