MONEY MARKET.
STOCH EICHANOZ, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The fluctuations in the English Funds this week have been principally caused by the transactions connected with the settlement of the Account, Which took place on Wednesday; and the delivery of Stock having been considerable, occasioned a greater demand for money. Consols which had Previously stood at 91, declined to 901; they have rallied since, and are now 90i 1 for Money and 911 for the Account. Much surprise exists amongst
the applicants on this side for the French Loan at the absence of intel- ligence respecting the proportionate allotments, and the retention of the surplus deposits causes much inconvenience. Money, consequently, is in request in the Stock Exchange, and out of doors little is obtained below 34 per cent ; this, however, it is expected, will be the extreme rate as no profit now exists on the transmission of gold to the Cantu:lent, and the Australian and American remittances continue ample,—this week they amount to 308,0001. and 180,0001. respectively. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Alhambra took out about 51,000/. The Corn Market is lower this week. In Foreign Securities there has been greater activity, and Danish and Peruvian are 1 better. Turkish has improved 14, owing to the bill for the new Loan having passed. It is now expected that the Turkish Minister will issue a notice for the attendance of capitalists, when the conditions regard- ing the amount to be raised will be stated. The rise in Peruvian has been caused by the proposed increase of the sinking-fund made by Senor River° on behalf of that Government, and submitted at a meeting of bondholders on Tuesday, called by the New Committee' against whom the Old Com- mittee entered a protest. Without much discussion, the meeting being favourable to the terms, the several resolutions were carried. The report of the Crystal Palace Company shows that the sum expended to the 30th June was 1,231,0001., and the liabilities to be discharged are 45,0001., making a total of 1,276,0001., exclusive of 66,000/. due on purchase of land, against which the assets amount to 38,0001. The net profits of the first year, excluding 26,786 guinea season-tickets, have been 66,000/., which paid a dividend of 6 per cent in February, and left 12,2991. The proprietors having received a dividend this year none was declared at the meeting yesterday; but the report was adopted, and a Committee formed to consult with the Directors in Mang-up vacancies, to look into accounts and liabilities, and to arrange for the future management of the concern.
Railways have been very heavy this week; the fact of the London and North-Western dividend for the past half-year being reduced to 44 per cent, being the lowest ever paid on that line, has occasioned distrust in other quarters. The principal decline has been in Great Western, which are 41. to Si. lower, closing today at 594 604. London and North-Western has re- ceded 158., and is now 971 84. Other lines have fallen from 58. to 11. London and South-Western is 11. higher. French Shares have been very buoyant, and a rise of 11. to 21. 5s. has taken place in several instances.
