THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK ENCRANGE. FRIDAY EVENING.
The closing price of Consols on Saturday was 8342; ; of Exchequer Bills, the closing premium was 13s. to 15s. Bank Stock was quoted at 190; but it was not understood that any amount of sales had been or could be effected at that price, or any other at which holders were at all likely to offer it. It was stated on Monday, that since 1823, the profits of the Bank had rather ex- ceeded than fallen short of 8 per cent., the sum paid to the proprietors; and that the reduction of 2,300,000/. in the accumulated profits took place between 1819 and 1823, and was the consequence of the measures adopted for restoring cash payments. No rally of the price of Stock was the consequence of this state- uncut; on the contrary, the bill continued, and the prices at closing were 185 only. On Tuesday, however, there was a reaction, which has con- tinued to operate. The prices to-day were 18714 to 18. Pot tuguese Stock is 46 to 47, and Scrip 54 to 5i discount. Consols have been Rat this week ; they close to-day nominally at 83/1 4. The Exchange has been shut, and the private bargains have been few.
SATURDAY, Norm—Consols for the Account 831.
