THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING, HALF-PAST TEN O'CLOCK.—The business in our Market this week has been on a much smaller scale than it was last week, and prices have declined above a half per cent. from the ex- treme point of last Saturday. Consols for Account were then 89/, and are now only 89i to . Some of the speculators for a rise, it is believed, have been losing heart ; which may be one cause of this depression; but the chief, we apprehend, has been the weight of Money Stock, and an unusual

demand for money, which has this week been at from 3,1- to 4 per cent. ii loans on the security of Stock for short periods. The Heavy Stock is station au; but Exchequer Bills have felt the demand for money, and are lower' This demand, however, it is expected, will be relieved next week by the dividends, which will then become payable.

In the Foreign Market, there have been. considerable transactions in Brazil

-Bonds, the price of which has been forced up te'641 (or 62 ex dividend), but is now rather lower. We say forced up, because the purchases which have occasioned this rise of nearly 5 per cent. within a week or two, have been purely and entirely speculative ; and there still does not appear to be any considerable amount of the Bonds taken by the public for bona fide invest. ment. Portuguese Stock, too, has risen again to near 46 ;. but Russian is a trifle lower. All the South American Bonds are a little higher; Spanish is still neglected. HALF-PAST TWELVE.—The Consol Market is heavy at 89i to 4, but there is not much business : money still scarce. In the Foreign Market, prices are a shade lower, but there is nothing doing. There is a large failure in the sugar trade.
