MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The fluctuations in Government Securities have been very trifling this week ; and the transactions were of secondary importance until Wednesday, when more animation prevailed on the reopening of the Bank books for private transfer is the Stocks that recently closed for dividends. Money continues in demand • a pressure augmented early in the week by a heavy call on the Grand Trunk of Canada Railway Shares, and by payment on. Tuesday of the final instalment of 25 per cent on the second 2,000,000/. of Exchequer Bonds. Consols for Money have ranged between 95 and 95f. Less uneasiness has been felt regarding commercial affairs in Liverpool ; but it still exercises occasionally an adverse influence on the Funds. The Corn- market continues firm, with a tendency toimprovement. In Paris, the Funds have shown by their steadiness an absence of speculation ; awaiting, it is supposed, as on this side, the intelligence of further operations by the Allied forces in the Crimea. The Continental exchanges generally exhibit little alteration. The commercial accounts from New York show a tendency to improvement ; but the credit of some of the importing houses was anxiously watched : the rate of exchange was lees firm, and would suggest a continuation of shipments of specie to England, but on a smaller scale than of late, as the importation of goods from Europe has diminished within the last month. The remittances of gold and specie this week have comprised 320,0001. from America, 50,000/. from Brazil, and 10,6001. from Australia.

The sum available this quarter to the reduction of the National Debt is 264,6991., or a fourth part of the surplus for the year to the 5th of July ; and it will be appropriated to the redemption of Deficiency Bills. The Bank has this day commenced payment of the October dividends.

This morning, the Funds opened rather higher, and Consols for Money touched 95$ ; they have since been done at 95, through sales of Stock, and leave off at 951 and 951 1 for Account. Exchequer Bills and India Stock have not altered this week. Exchequer Bonds are 991 100. The telegraphic accounts from China yesterday show a fresh decline in the rate of exchange : the shipments of silver from this country will therefore be diminished.

Foreign Securities continue inactive, and the dealings very limited. Aus- trian and Russian Five per Cents have improved 1 ; Russian Four-and-a- half per Cents, and Venezuela, are 1 lower. Turkish Scrip has been rather better; and on Wednesday it advanced to 3k a, owing to some purchases, and an intimation that the agents for the loan had been advised by the Turk- ish Ambassador of its official confirmation at Constantinople, on the 30th September. The firman assigning the Egyptian tribute, agreeably to the contract, is to be prepared and forwarded. Railways have partaken in a great measure of the general feeling in other markets, and the transactions this week have been few. Yesterday, many of the leading lines compared with last Saturday presented no alteration ; in others the difference was to the following extent. Increase—Great North- ern, I/. 10s. ; London, Brighton, and South Coast, and North British, 10s.; London and North-Western, Ss. Decrease—Edinburgh and Glasgow, 11.; Caledonian, and Chester and Holyhead, 10s. ; Aberdeen, and South-Eastern, 5s.

M. To- day the English lines are rather lower. Foreign Shares have not altered.
