MONEY MARKET.
SrocK Exeaa.NoE, FRiDAY APTERsoow.
The English Funds were steady till yesterday; the quotations of Consols (the only Stock now open for Money business) being 921 4 for Money and 92} for Account. A purchase of 200,0001. was then effected, and another of 50,0001., both for the Account. The price advanced to 93/ for Money and 93/ for Ac- count. Today the buyer of the 200,0001. was a large seller for Tuesday, the amount stated being 370,0001. Prices have consequently given way the whole amount of the advance, and close this afternoon at 921 * for Money and 921 / for Account. The interest of money continues the same; and though there has been some slight demand for it in the Stock Exchange, there is no appearance of any permanent increase in its value. Greater activity has been observable in the Foreign Market than usual. There is an evident disposition for investment in the Dutch, Danish, and Russian Stock; but as these varieties of bonds are scarce, and the jobbers are not much inclined to make speculative sales, the transactions have been limited. Mexican Bonds have been down to 27; and close, without any appearance of material improve- ment, at 27 *. It will be recollected, that about three weeks ago we noticed se- veral purchases in Mexican Stock at 28, made in anticipation of large remittances on account of the dividends by the packet which arrived in the early part of this week. The amount remitted turned out to be much less than was expected ; and as a natural consequence of the disappointment the price has declined, and the market is without any elasticity. The report of a buccaneering expedition being in preparation at New York for the conquest of Cuba, had produced a decline of 1/ per cent in the price of Spanish Stock. Some extensive speculative sales were made in anticipation of the effect to be produced by this intelligence; but as it appeared that the Executive of the United States had seized the vessels of the adventurers, and that the expedition was at an end, the price of Active Stock, which bad been 161, improved to 17i, and has since fluctuated between 17 and 17/. The speculators have suspended opera- tions, and are evidently waiting the arrival of further intelligence from America. The Share Market has been much quieter than usual. Most of the principal varieties close this afternoon within a little of the prices of last week. Some fluctuation has occurred ; and in some instances the scarcity of particular descrip- tions of Shares at the settlement of the Account, yesterday, gave an upward im- pulse to prices: but there is no appearance of any resumption of investment, and the week's business has resulted in establishing, as already stated, quotations nearly the same as our last.
SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Scarcely any business has occurred in either the English or Foreign Funds, and the prices of all of them are nominally the same as at the close of business yes- terday. The Railway Share Market is also unchanged.
