MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
tensive business has been transacted. The settlement of the Consol Account The past week has not been one of much fluctuation, although some very ex- for February took place on Wednesday, and was principally remarkable for the large quantity of Stock taken off the Market by the speculators. Consols for Money close this afternoon at 871 and for Account at 87i 4. Bank Stock has been lower, having declined to 1971, but is to-day quoted at 1981. India Stock has improved, and is to-day at 2091. Exchequer Bills have been steady at 47 48 prem. during the whole week. Money still continues very abundant, and is easily obtainable on first-rate commercial bills at 2 per cent.
In the Foreign Market, the investments in Dutch and Belgian Bonds have continued; the former have been at 46, and the latter at 86; both are lower to- day. Dutch Bonds close at 45a 4, and Belgian at 851 4. Brazilian Bonds continue steady at 581 59. Greek Bonds are nominally at last week's prices, as also Mexican 6 per Cents. Portuguese Bonds have been in demand for the last day or two, but without any improvement in the price, which is 514 521. An unusually long period has elapsed since the past intelligence was received from Oporto, and the next arrival is anxiously expected. Spanish Stock, which was on Saturday at 171, has since been at 174, and closes this afternoon at 1744. The price has improved slightly in Paris ; to which, in addition to the ru- mours of the success of Sir STRATFORD CANNING'S negotiation, the rizchcruuty be attributed ; but the immense quantity held on speculation must operate to prevent any considerable advance in price, unless new circumstances should arise and cause the Bonds to become objects of investment. SATURDAY, On o'CLocir.
The business in the English Market has been quite insignificant : with the exception of India Stock, all Stocks are at the closing prices of yesterday. The interest at present attached to the question of the renewal of the Charter of the East India Company has extended itself to the Stock ; and several bar- gains have been effected to-day at prices between 209 and 210. A private ex- press has, we understand, been received from Amsterdam, by which the prices of Dutch Stock on Wednesday in that city are quoted 4 per cent. higher. the market for that description of security is consequently rather higher here, viz. 454g. Almost all other sorts of Foreign Stock are quoted (nominally) at a slight improvement on yesterday's prices. SATURDAY, FOUR O'C1 OCIS.
Very- little has occurred worthy of remark here since one o'clock. India Stock has been as high as 211, and is now quoted at 2094, 2101. Consols close at the on o'clock price, viz., 871 4 for Money, and 874 4 for the Account. Dutch Stock has been rather flat during the afternoon ; and some sales were ma 'e at 4453; but the price has since reached and closes at the morning's quo- tation. An express has been received from Paris, bringing the price of the Funds in that city on Thursday, which had slightly improved. It is also stated, that Den MIGuEr. has succeeded in effecting a loan there ; but the inactivity of the Portuguese Stock Market here, for the last few days, does not afford much ground for belief in the truth of the rumour. 3 per Cent.
