MONEY MARKET.

STOCK Exciimen, FREDAT arrzsicoox. A further considerable improvement was, until today, established and sustained in the English Funds, the extreme rise on Wednesday being nearly 11 per cent upon Saturday's closing figure. Business throughout the entire Exchange is altogether of a more satisfactory and encouraging de- scription ; public investments continue, and though in small amounts, are, upon the whole, extensive, and create a scarcity of stock which is felt, values are consequently enhanced all round. The eupply of capital is ex- cessive, and the Bank Directors, as anticipated yesterday, reduced the rate of discount 1 per cent, viz.—from 41 per cent, at which it had stood since the bth ult. to 3iper cent; this fact, however, did not increase the demand at the Bank, the rate out of doors being still and 1 per cent below the

sainimum. Consols were first quoted on Monday per cent above the last price of Saturday, 92/ 92/ ; and the market has continued exceedingly active up to this afternoon, when a decided reaction has set in, but for no assignable reason. Consols, after being 931 are now 92/ 92/. In addition to bona fide purchases speculative business has somewhat increas- ad ; on Wednesday there were some money purchases at 93/. Bank Stock Laves off 220 222.

The public have evidently taken courage after the late serious panic, and come in as large purchasers of Foreign Stocks. Turkish Six per Cents have improved nearly ô per cent, and Victor Emmanuel nearly 6 per cent ,• Spanish, 1/ per cent ; Brazilian, / per cent ; Mexican, 1 per cent ; and Portuguese, 1/ per cent ; Venezuela has also improved to the extent of 2 per cent, the advises per last mail being considered even more favourable than was expected ; the money likewise has arrived to meet the forthcoming dividend, so that one great cause of anxiety is removed. Messrs. Baring and CO. are progessing with the conversion. Sardinian closes 75 76 ex div.; Turkish Six per Cents, 68 70; Ditto, New, 57 59; Austrian, 4246; Russian, 100 104' Portuguese, 4243.

The Railway Share Markets both English and Foreign have again been more animated, and prices all round show an advance ranging from / tol/ per cent, a greater rise was at one time established, but the markets have since become flatter ; Leeds Stock, 87 871 has risen 1 per cent, and Midland

per cent, closing 96/ 97; Great Western is also 1 per cent higher, 53 531, and London and North Western, 87/ 88; Chester and Holyhead leaves off 47 48; Great Northern, 98 100; London and Brighton, 108 110; Caledonian, 381 38k; North Staffordshire, 4141 dia.
