MONEY MARKET.

STOCH EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Stock Market continues in a doubtful position. The Funds have been per cent lower than they realized last week during a buoyant feeling on the supposed ultimate financial position of the country. The downward tendency this week has been partly on political grounds ; namely, the naval movements connected with the differences with Naples, and an announcement that the English fleet would remain in the Black Sea through the unsettlement of the question with Russia regarding the Besaarabian frontier : but the flatness has been increased owing to continued depression on the Paris Bourse, and enhancement of the rate of discount by foreign banks. In Amsterdam, it has been raised from 4 to 4} per cent ; in Vienna,

from 4 to 5 ; in Prussia, from 5 to 6 ,• and today it been announced that the Bank of France have raised their rate to 6 per cent. Some fears of a panic are entertained in Paris, through the losses of the speculators. The French Three per Cents are now lower than they have been for a long Clue. Some interruption in the transmission of French quotations by tele- graph has been caused this week, owing, it is believed, to communications passing between England and France on Neapolitan and other matters. At the Bank of England meeting yesterday, no alteration was made in the rate of discount. The demands for accommodation at the Bank and out of doors have been less active.

From the commencement of this week, and up to last evening, Consols ranged from 941 to 93f : today they have declined per cent, upon the new measure taken by the Bank of France ; and the-speculators for the fall have sold largely. Consols for Money. leave off' at 93 1, and 931 1 for the Ac- count. Exchequer Bills and India Stock have not altered this week. The Corn-market has been heavy. Gold amounting to 100,0001. has been received from America. The shipments of silver to India and China on the 4th October are expected to amount to a million and a quarter sterling. In Foreign Securities, sales have latterly increased, and great dulness has prevailed. Dutch Four per Cents have fallen 21, and the Two-and-a-half per Cents 11, in sympathy with a decline of If in the prices at Amsterdam. Austrian, Brazilian, Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Cents, Russian, Spa- nish, and Sardinian, have receded 1; Turkish 11; Mexican f. There has been an advance of 2 in Buenos Ayres, and 1 in Danish Five per Cents. Railways were very 'fiat in'the first part of the week, and sales were freely pressed.
