THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING, HALY•EAST Ti.—The July ac count was made up on the 23d, and turned out most favourably for the Bulls, or speculators fora rise, the Market having advanced one and a half per cent. upon the closing prices of last week. The supply of Money was superabun- dant, and Stock on the other hand proved so scarce as actually to bear the same price for immediate payment, as for the end of August.
Of those who speculated for a fall, there have been one or two defaulters, and yesterday one unfortunate jobber who could not pay in money, paid with his life, having committed suicide. He was much esteemed by his friends for his social and other good qualities; but an incurable propensity for speculation had led him into default twice before, after he had it is said twice acquired considerable property.
All the heavy Stocks have advanced with Consols, and many persons are still sanguine of a further rise ; but the state of the weather which has again broken, is regarded with considerable anxiety from the critical period of the harvest.
In the Foreign Market, the Continental Bonds have all advanced with Con. sols, and Russian touched 101 on Thursday. We are weary of expressing astonishment at this, but do not cease to feel it. So far as we have observed, the public do not buy much ; and we really can give no other reason for the rise but the sic volo of the Great Man.
Brazil Bonds have advanced about one per cent ; but there has been no movement in Shares.
