THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY tVENING.—There have not been any consi- derable fluctuations in the prices of Stock since our last report, notwith- standing that the transactions have been both numerous and important. On the whole, however, the aspect of the market has been rather unpro- mising, and the quantity of Stock brought for sale has been sufficient to teract the effect of some very considerable purchases by an eminent broker ; which, under other circumstances, would have had material influence. We therefore rather incline to the opinion that the balance of bona fide transactions has been on the side of the sellers. Late this afternoon, indeed, a rise (attributed to the continued operations of the broker already alluded to) of about 3 per cent. took place in Consols ; but, unless this rise should be maintained and increased, it is too unim- portant to found any argument upon.
Gold continues at the standard price of 31. 17s. load. ; but as the doctors are differing as to the ratio of the exportation of that article, we trust there may be some reason for hoping that the amount going abroad is rather diminishing. On the other hand, as the price now allows of the exportation of sovereigns, we apprehend a considerable portion of what is exported does riot appear on the Custom-house books.
Some of the heavy Stocks have advanced—viz., the New 4 per Cents. and the 33 per Cents. Reduced ; whereas the 4 per Cents., 1826, have slightly declined, or at least remained stationary. The New 4 per Cents., it will be recollected, is the Stock which was formerly the Navy 5 per Cents., and may be paid off in January next if the Government should think fit. That this Stock should rise whilst the 4 per Cents. 1826, which are not liable to be paid off till 1833, should rather decline, is curious.
The transactions in the Foreign market have been wholly uniteresting until to-day, when the arrival of the packet from Rio Janiero, bringing news of a peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, caused a considerable rise, and some business in the bonds of these two states. The bonds of the latter are now about 50, a price which, considering that no dividends have been lately paid on them, and that the news of peace does not necessarily imply dividends, is somewhat extraordinary. The rise in Brazil Bonds has helped to buoy up their unfortunate brethren the Portu- guese Bonds, which are advanced to 57 ; but there is still not a word about these dividends. There is nothing to remark respecting Russian or other Northern Securities.
In Shares, we have to notice a decline of from 101. to 121. per Share in Brazilian—the accounts by the packet to-day being deemed rather favour- able. On the other hand, the Talpusrahua Shares which were sold last week at 151. and 161.—have risen to 361.
