MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The English Funds have evinced a tendency to improvement ; the business transacted has not, however, been extensive. The purchases by the Broker to the Court of Chancery, on account of the West Indian Indemnity Loan, have been continued on one day this week to the amount of 230,0001. Bank Stock has recovered the depression occasioned by the announcement made at thc late meeting of the Proprietors, and is now quoted at 212. In the Foreign Market, the Spanish Bonds have been the chief object of attraction, and have improved considerably upon our last prices. Portuguese Securities are advancing; the continued prosperity of the Queen's Government, and the anxiety shown for the purchase of the national property now in pro- gress of sale at Lisbon, must (unless interrupted by sonic mischance) continue to give an improved value to the Portuguese Funds. The South American Stocks are still in demand. The anticipated acknowledgment of the inde- pendence of the Republics by Spain has again induced a spirit of speculation in these funds. The various Railroad Shares are nearly at the prices of last week. The Mining Shares, with one or two exceptions, are quite neglected. SATURDAY. TWEIXE O'CLOCK.
Little worthy of note has occurred this morning. The English Funds are at yesterday's quotations. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds ate per cent. lower than yesterday; but the transactions in them have been unimportant. The South American Stocks have declined about per cent. The Railway Shares are about the same prices as last week : Birmingham and London may be quoted at 40 pm., and Great Western at 53 to 63 pm.
SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.
Consols close at the opening price of the morning. Spanish Bonds con- tinued heavy till nearly the ckse of the afternoon, when an improvement of per cent. occurred. It is reported that an express has arrived from Madrid ith intelligence that o i the 196 instant a decree had been issued for the imme- diate assembly of the Cortes.91iWi French Cents cannot, however, ascertain whether this
rumour is entitled to credit.
