1IONE17 MARKET.
ssreex Exclimens, FRIDAY FTERNooN.
The Consol Market has been in a quiescent state during the whole week, and the fluctuations in it have been trifling. Money has become rather more in demand, and the price of Exchequer Bills has given way in a slight degree. Batik stock has improved upon our last quotations, and is now nearly I ter cent. above them.
By the last Dutch mail, intelligence has been received of an improvement in the exchange in Amsterdam : this has consequently produced a rise in the rate here, by which the remedial measure of the Bank Directors will be rendered less necessary. By the same conveyance we were informed of arise of 1 per cent, in the price of Dutch Stock, which has produced a correspondiug effect upsn these securities in our market. - 'fide improvement in Holland is the snore remarkable, as the Dutch Government are about raising a new loan in a Four per Cent. Stock, by which, although it is pretended they intend to provide for the reduc- tion of their Five per Cent. Stock, it is generally believed that their real object is the raising funds to pay the Dividend on the Two.and-a. half per Cent. Stuck which will become due in July next. Spanish Stock is now quoted without she dividend, and the present mice of 46 is therefore equal to a quotation of last week of 4t.q. The transactions of the week, however, have not been extensive.
In the Railway Share Market, there appears rather a disposition to sell the
shares of those Companies whose hills are now under discussion before the Committee of the House of Commons. Those of the Commercial Black- wall have undergone an improvement consequent upon a reported junction be- tween that Company and its opponent, the Blackwall Company. The specu- lators in the two proposed rival lines of Railroad to Brighton, projected by RENNIE and STEEIIENSON, are fighting zealously before the Committee. Till recently, the superiority of SrrenEssos's line has leen admitted, and faint hopes were entertained by its opponents (the favourers of HEN N IE's pro- ject) of tile success of their opposition to it. The Committee have, however, connnenced receiving evidence as to the superiority of the two ether lines, projected by Gil NHS and CuNny.
SATURDAY. TWELvE o'Cr.orN.
As is usually the cage on Saturday, our transactions have beeu few and un- important. The Cons& Market has been unmoved durilig all the morales,.

SATURDkr, Foes O'CI.0CX.
During the afternoon, Consols for money have been done at 92; while the highest price marked for the Account is 91. hence it may be inferred, that the supply of Stock is very short. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock has slightly improved; the closing price of Active being 451 4, that of Deferred '221i II, arid Passive 141. Portuguese Stock has also continued to rise; the Three per Cents. being 541 551, and the Five per Cents. 851.
