THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
Consols closed on Saturday, after a day of comparative activity, at 83t; 11. The increased activity is attributed to the statement of Lord Althorp; but we believe it did not originate in any single cause. The truth is, people ham nothing to do with their money, but to invest it in the Funds. Consols con- tinued through Monday to maintain the price. They closed on that day at 83,,} ; and Exchequer Bills at 14s. 15s. premium. A notice, in terms of the agreement, was made on Wednesday, that the first instalment of the Portuguese Loan (Queen Mania.'s) was now due; the troops of the Queen being in actual occupation of Oporto. This has led to a fall as might be expected ; many per- sons who had held back the Scrip being obliged to bring it to market. To-day there has been little or no alteration in the state of the market. Consols close at 8341 ; and Exchequer Bills at 15s. 16s. premium.
