MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
English Securities have not been dealt in to any large extent this week, the variations never exceeding A per cent. The markets generally assume a firm appearance, and Consols close 931 931, having opened on Monday 931 931. The announcement of 3,800,0001. being required for the China war caused only a momentary dulness' and the recent disasters in the leather trade, although tending to suspense, have not had the effect at present of de-
preciating values i
; this s accounted for by the improved state of the weather and the absence of any really adverse political news. Business has been very dull, but the demand for money has been active, the rates averaging 4 per cent. New Three per Cents and Reduced have each ranged between 931 931, closing firm at 931 931. India Five per Cents have been rather active, and close 1041 1041; Bank Stock, 229 231; Consols for Money, 931 931; for the Account, 93f buyers and for the opening, 931 931. The next settling will take place on Tuesday 10th, this being first " making-up " day.
