THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—There have been three holidays since our last report ; on two of which the Stock Exchange was closed, and during the rest of the week there has been hardly any business worth mentioning. The highest prices of Consols for the Account were 881 to 4, and the lowest ssa to d ; and the heavy Stocks have fluctuated in about the same ratio : the present price is 871 toil. Money has been, and still con- tinues, extremely scarce ; and 4 per cent (and even :5 per cent in some in- stances) has been paid for loans on the security of Stock on Exchequer Bills for short periods. The Bank has agreed to take in Exchequer Bills till the 15th July, at 4 per cent upon certain restrictions ; but this measure has not yet relieved the pressure.
Brazil Bonds have not fluctuated much this week, but are lower (561) and the Market is heavy at the reduction. The exchange, which had risen here when the new loan was effected, has been drooping latterly, and yesterday fell to 24. Russian is maintained at about 96i to 97, to the wonder of every- body. Portuguese has fallen below 43 ; and Spanish to 9. The South Ame- rican securities are in much the same situation as at our last report.
There is no business in Shares.
