MONEY. MARKET.

STOCK EYCKILYTOZ..FRIDAY APTERNOON.

The English Stock Market has been rather steady during the week, and the variation very trifling. Consols opened and closed on Monday at 1011 1, being the improved quotation which they reaohed after official hours on Saturday. There was * decline on Tuesday, owing chiefly to a reaction, on the Paris Bourse. On Wednesday, a demand for Money stock, particularly the purchase by a leading broker, caused a recovery. The settlement of the Aecount took place yesterday, and was easily arranged : the rate of continua- tion paid was from 3-l6ths to 5-16th'. The adjustment caused no alteration in prices. This has been the last public transfer-day in Consols previous to the closing of the Bank-books for the arrangement of dividends ; and the Funds havelbean rather dull: the Money quotation of Consolshas not altered, but they are * lower for the Account, closing at 1011 1. Exchequer Bills have suffered this week from a succession of sales, and have declined 78.; leaving off today at 60 "to 65. Bank Stock is 1 higher. India Stock has not altered.

In the Foreign Market, prices on the average have been well maintained; but the transactions generally have not been numerous, and the value of nearly all the leading. Stocks is the same as last week. There has been in- creased business in Peruvian Stock, and in Austrian Scrip : both are 1 better. Turkish-Scrip has rallied' 1 ; it closes today. at 11 21 premium. A memorial to the 'Sultan on behalf ef tliehelders has been advertised; and lies for sig- nature at the office-of-the Committee. Spanish Three per Cents and Deferred, and Sweets' h Sorip, have suffered from speculative sales, and are each lower, Mexican Stock eaperi,enced no fluotaation yesterday on the arrival of the packet liringieg. 38,181 dollars, for dividend account; but no news has yet transpired likely to interest the Bondholders. The Stock has fallen k today, being now 24-**. Thb Railway Market has lost in scone measure the buoyant appearance-it presented last. week.; several sales having taken place for the purpose of realizing profits. London and North-western declined 10e. on Monday, and 11.-58. on Tuesday ; having been done as low as 127. Great Western had fallen 108., and Midland 1/. On the two subsequent days there was a par- tial recovery in several cases, owing to the improved tone of the English Funds. Yesterday, London and Nbtth-western and Midland had rallied 158., and Great Western 5s. There was then a difference in some of the principal Shares, to the following extent compared with last Saturday. Increase— Caledonian, I/. 10s.; Lancaster and Carlisle, and London, /Brighton, and South Coast, 11. Decrease—Bristol and Exeter, 2/. ; South-eastern, 1/. 5s. ; Lancashire and Yerkshire, London and North-western, and York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 11.; East Lancashire, 'Great /iforthern, and North British, 101.; Great Western, and Midland, Bs.
