THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY Bioaxixo.—The difficulties of the speculators for a fall in the prices of Stock, which occurred last week, have been greatly in- creased during the present; and in consequence of the failure of a vet y prominent operator during the fall, a further rise of Consols bas taken place, and the price is now about 84. Yesterday was the settling-day; and in consequence of the state of the Account, and the extreme distrust excited by the failures in question, the diffi- culty which attended the adjustment of bargains was almost unprecedented. To- day being pay-day, discovered several new defaulters, and we have also heard of some private compromises, but none of any great consequence. Monty Stock was extraordinarily scarce yesterday, and at one period commanded a full half per cent. better price than Stock for the 20th of July. This scarcity still exists, and will pro- bably continue till the shutting on the 2d of June. Exchequer Bills have varied very little during the week. Money was much wanted for a day or two, but is now 3110Ze 3 per Cent. Red. 821 3 per Cent. Cons. 831 3i per Cent. New 92h Consols for Acct. S3 Long Annuities — Ex.
