THE MONEY MARKET.
&WIC EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
The fluctuation in the English Stock Market during the early part of the week, and up to one o'clock this day, had not exceeded 1 per cent. The lowest price of Reduced 3 per Cents. has been 83, and the highest 83*. New 3,1 per Cents, have been at 911 and 924. Consols, both for Money and Account, have been at 8:31 and 844; and remained steady nearly the whole of this morning at 841. In the early part of the afternoon, some large sales were effected at 84; and they have since declined to 834, 84. Bank Stock has been at 1891, and closed at 189. India Stock has been at 2011 and 203, while 202 may be con- sidered as the closing price. Exchequer Bills have been 27s. and 33s. prem. ; to-day they are 30s. and 31s. The extraordinary rise in this description of security has been the subject of some remark, and is generally attributed to purchases by the Bank, and to an increased issue of the notes of that Corporation.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock has been the chief object of attraction: the opening price on Monday was 141, 4; and before the close of business on that day, it had risen to 151. The rise continued, with trifling reactions, till yester- day morning ; when it reached 171. A disposition to realize having been evinced by some of the holders, the Stock gave way, and the closing price of 3resterday was 161, 4. During the early part of this morning, the decline con- -tinned, and at one time the Bonds were as low as 151.; a sudden rally then took place to 161, and the Market continued firm at 164,4, till just before the close of business, when some bargains were effected at 164: the last price is 161, 17. Dutch Stock had been fluctuating between 424 and 42, till this afternoon, when several large sales depressed the Market to 411: an improvementhas since taken place to 42, and the last quotation is 414, fr. Belgian Bonds, after having been at 764, reached 77 on Wednesday, and have since maintained themselves, the price to-day being 741 exdiv. Portuguese Bonds, which were at 481 in the early part of the week, have been to-day at 494; and the Regency Scrip, which %vas on Tuesday at 41 dis., has been to-day at 31, and closed at 34, 1, dis. The recent decision in the Court of Exchequer has had a favourable effect upon the educes of the British Iron Company ; a few days ago the price was 91. per &hare, and to-day it is quoted at 12/. to 15/.
