MONEY MARKET.

STocx ExcHANGL FRIDAY A1TERNOON.

A sale of 150,0001. Stock by the Chancery broker, early in the week, depressed the price of Consols about i per cent,---namely, t, 82i; the other English Funds declining in proportion. The price afterwaras- rallied to the full extent of the de- pression; Consols for Money having ci,,a touched 93, and the closing price this afternoon both for Money and is„,..ant being 92/ 93. At one period of the day -.on sold largely in h the market was very firm, "1- a check was given by the operations of the Chan- cery Broker, whei .,,, ge y the course of the morning. Money con- tinues as ol•e"51' as ever; the rate of discount the same. There was an expecte- i., Bank Directors would yesterday have reduced the rate of discount; .. e business of the Foreign Market has been more extensive than usual. A tion that not.• considerable and influential purchase in Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents caused an improvement of from 1 to li per cent. Spanish Stock has continued without any material change ; the prices both of Five per Cent Active and Three per Cent Stock being the same as last week. Portuguese Stock has been little dealt but is rather firmer. Mexican Bonds were steady, without any Large transac- tions till today, when some purchases, small in amount, but influential from the limited state of the market, caused an improvement, and the closing price this afternoon is 2744. The Share Market has continued heavy, and the prices of most of the principal lines are lower. The transactions have indeed been insignificant, but the present tendency may certainly be considered as downward. The business in the Foreign Shares has been quite trifling. Some little impulse was given to those of the Luxemburg Company by the recent report of the Directors ; but the transactions have been unimportant, and we cannot notice any material improvement in price.

SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are rather lower, the price of Consols both for Money and Account being 924 The transactions of the morning have been trifling. In the Foreign Market, prices are the same as yesterday; most of the quotations now given must be considered merely nominal, as there does not seem to be the lightest disposition to business. The Mexican and South American Stocks ap- pear to be firm, and the Spanish not quite so well supported. The transactions in Railway Shares have been unimportant. 3 per Cent Consols 921 1 Danish 3 per Cents 921 1
