MONEY AI RKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Funds have risen slightly since our last report. With the re- moval of the fear of political agitation, that confidence so necessary to the deve- lopment of our financial resources has, as we anticipated, returned. The transactions in the English Funds have been comparatively few ; the attraction of the fluctuations in the South American and Spanish Markets having diverted the attention of a large number both of speculators and capitalists from all other operations. Money continues in demand, and is likely to continue for some time, from the large speculations now going an in the various Foreign Bonds. The ardour of the operators for a rise in the South American Stock has received a considerable check during the last day or two. On Monday, it was reported that the house of BA RING had entered into negotiations with the Co- lumbian Government for the purpose of making an arrangement with respect to the overdue dividends of its Public Debt, similar to that effected some time ago by the Mexican Government. A rise in the price of the Bonds to 56 imme. diately took place ; but a disposition having since been shown by the holders to sell their stock, and the intelligence from the state of the Escuador being unfa- vourable, the Bonds have been falling since Tuesday, and to-day have been at 49. The price has since rallied, but the spirit of speculation seems for the pre- sent paralyzed. The measures proposed by the Cortcs with respect to the Internal portion ef the Spanish Debt, have given rise to a great improvement in the Bonds ; the price of which has been above 72. They have, however, flat- tened again, and close rather lower. The Portuguese Bonds maintain their prices, and the 3 per Cent. Stock still continues to improve. That portion of the four millions not required for the conversion of the 6 per Cent. Stock will be issued to the public in the shape of Scrip, and is at a higher proportional premium than the price of the Bonds. The Dutch and other Continental Seculities continue in demand, at prices somewhat higher than our last quotations.

Several new schemes have been inti educed during the last few days upon the Share Illatket, but they are not of sufficient importance to require remark.

The Agents for the conversion of the Spani,.11 Bonds have given notice, that they will be enabled to convert about nine 'billions of Bonds. The Bonds must be sent in to them before the 30th instant, and will he exchanged on 6th blay ; but after that time all Bonds must be left for four clear days to be exchanged for the New Bonds and Passive and Deferred Stock.

SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLO:'K.

Little has been doing here this morning. The English Funds are steady, Consols being 94 93 for the Account. In the Foreign Market, Curtis Bonds continue to improve; while a disposition exists to sell tbe Passive and Deferred Stocks. The Bonds of the Portuguese Regency Loan have been done at 100, and are ROW 994 to 100. The South American Stocks are nearly at yesterday's prices, and some of them, viz. Mexican and Peruvian, have slightly improved upon them. A mail has been received from Mexico, brought by his Majesty's brig Opossum, which left Jamaica on 31st January, Vera Cruz 11th Mardi, and Havannah on 21st March. The nature of the intelligence by this arrival has not transpired, but nom the little effect produced upon the price57ofnithe Stock, we do not suppose it to be of much importance. The Del Monte Shares are, however, about 2/. below yesterday's prices. 3 rer Cent. Consols 921 Dutth 24 per Cents.
