MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENIXG.
The transactions of the week have not been extensive. Although the de- cision of the House of Commons on Tuesday night was expected with much anxiety, the effect produced un the Money Market was quite unimportant. The impulse which that decision might under other C.I'CUHISIKOCCS have produced, was counteracted by the intelligence from Constantinople, and the threatening aspect of Oriental politics. Consols for Money opened on Monday at 871, have since been as high as 87j, and are to-day at 671 z for Aecount : the highest price has been 874, and the closing price to-day is 871:15-. Exchequer Bills have been as low as 46s, prem. This depression was caused by some large sales on Wednesday ; but as they have not been continued, the price is improved, and is to-day 47s. 48s. prem. India Stock has been steady at 227 and 228 ; the price to-day is 227 fur Money, and 228 for Account. Bank Stock has been quoted at 192 to 194, and is to-day 1931. In the Foreign Market, most descriptions of Stock are quoted higher than last week. The favourable intelligence received from Rio Janeiro by the last. packet has caused an improvement in the Brazilian Bonds ; the price has been as high as 62k, and is to-day 621 63. hi the early part of the week, Dutch Stuck had improved to 44 ; but by the arrival of the mail from Amsterdam yes- terdav morning, intelligence was received of a decline of nearly in the price of Funds in that city ; and as some large sales were made in this market, the price declined to 451, but has slightly improved to-day, and closes at 454 A. Russian, Danish, and Belgian Bonds are stead •: the last is now quoted without the dividend, and the price is 85iy. Notwithstanding the favourable a reutill ts received during the week from Columbia and Mexico, the Stocks of these respective republics have not improved upon their former quotations : the former being lq 17, and the latter B25. We cannot notice any improvement in the Alining Shares. Portu- guese Stock and Regency Scrip are in more demand than they have been for some time. The price of the Bonds is 54, and that of the Scrip Spanish Stock is rather lower than last week: a fall of ,1 per cent. has taken place in Paris, and a corresponding depression has been produced here ; the clos- ing price this afternoon is 184 19.
