MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The unexpected pacific news from Germany produced a considerable im- provement in the prices of the Government Securities. The opening price of Consols on Monday was per cent higher than the closing quotation of Sa- turday, and during the week a still further advance took place ; Consols for Money having been as high as 97f--a rise of I per cent from our last quota- tions. A reaction from this point warred; after being at 97j the price again improved, and the closing quotation of this afternoon is 97} .1 for Money and 97/ for the Tanury Account.

With the improvement of the English Funds on Monday an advance in almost all the Railway Shares took place. A reaction ensued when the traffic-returns of the last week became known, (those returns being gene- rally unfavourable) ; bat the depression was not of long duration and the closing prices of this afternoon are as high as any that have been reached during the week ; the advance may be stated at from 11. to 2/. upon all the more important Shares.

SATURDAY Two o'CLocx. The English Funds close at an advance of 1 per cent upon the morning's prices, without the occurrence of any business of important*. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds are firmer, some interest being attached to the anti- cipated arrival of the packet on Monddy, and speculation upon the character of the expected intelligence having induced some purchases of Stock. The other current varieties are without material change. The advertisement of the payment of the dividends upon the Portuguese Bonds has caused a slight advance in the nominal quotation of the Stock. The Railway Share Market is improving ; the principal advance is in Lancashire and Yorkshire, which have risen about 21. ; Great Western are also higher, being at 74 ; Caledonian are lower.

SATURDAY TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are without change, the price of Consols being the same as at the close of business yesterday-971 both for Money and Ac- t. Hitherto the transactions of the morning have been unimportant. Tench Funds fell slightly in Paris yesterday, where the last price of the Five per Cents was 94.40; the Foreign Funds are consequently not quite so firm, though but little business has occurred in them. The Railway Share Market is firm, with but few transactions.
