MONEY MARKET,

STOCK ExCHAN0E, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Stock Market was heavy at the commencement of the week, but improved again and becamcateady, till yesterday, at our last quotations. A purchase by the Broker of the East India Company then occurred, and the quotations advanced about 1 per cent, closing this afternoon at the highest prices,-961 1 for Money, and 961 / for the October Account. The books of the various Stocks the dividends upon which become due in October closed in the course of the week, the last of them shutting today. Business for money will consequently be suspended in those Stocks till the llth October, when the books will open for private transfer. The settlement of the Consul Account was on Wednesday ; but no occurrences connected with it require remark.

Business has been unusually brisk in the Foreign Market, and on Wed- nesday and yesterday the transactions were very extensive. This was partly occasioned by the forced closing of two large speculative accounts, occasioned by the insolvency of two brokers, and partly by a general demand from abroad for the minor varieties of Foreign Bonds. Considerable fluctuation occurred in Peruvian and Venezuelan Stocks ; but as these movements were only momentary, it is not worth while to record them. We may, however, notice, that there is a good demand, principally on foreign account, for the Northern European Stocks, Mexican, Portuguese, and some of the South American Bonds. Money is more abundant than last week, especially upon the Stock Exchange ; where the rate of interest upon loans for short periods ranges from 2 to 21 per cent. Some fluctuation has occurred in Spanish Stock, which declined nearly 1 per cent, but again advanced to nearly the same extent; the Active Five per Cents closing this afternoon at 19f 1. Several reports have been current as to the Government proposals for the contem- plated conversion of the Foreign Debt. We know, however, that no com- munication of an official character has been received by the London Com- mittee upon this subject. The Share Market has been subject to some heavy fluctuations ; one large speculative account, which had been open from the beginning of the year, having been closed. As the operator was, in the language of the market, 'going for the fall," and had sold largely of almost every variety of Share,

the effect of the forced purchases in question has been to cause a general im- provement. Prices are not in some cases quite so high today as they were yesterday, but the market is evidently firm ; a result to which the recent improvement in the traffic of several of the lines most current appears to have conduced.

SATURDAY TWELVE o'crecx.

The English Funds are rather flatter this morning in the almost total ab- sence of business. There is no change in the prices of the Foreign Funds, which are all nominally at yesterday's quotations. The Share Market is not quite so brisk, the business transacted having been unimportant. There ap- pears, however, to be a greater disposition to sell Shares than has been ob.. servable for the last few days.

SATURDAY Two o'Choca.

The English Funds close at the morning's quotations, scarcely a bargain and not a single fluctuation having occurred. The Fcreign Funds are gene- rally firmer, and the markets for South American Stocks are recovering from the depression occasioned by the quantity of Stock recently thrown upon them.
