MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The Money Market has considerably improved in tone, and the price of Consols is full 1 per cent, above that of last Saturday. The rate of discount still continues at 5 per cent. ; awl yesterday and to-dry it has been difficult to discount any but first-rate paper at that rate. A demand for money is antici- pated both to-morrow and on Wednesday ; on which days, two consider- able prompts will occur at the India House, one on indigo, and another on silk. By intelligence received this morning from Amsterdam, we are informed that the Bank of that city has increased its rate of discount to 5 per cent., and that the interest charged by it upon loans upon Stock will hereafter be 6 per cent. The new Exchequer Bills are current in the market ; the premium on them is 3s. to 5s., and that on the l Bills Is. to 3s. Although money is in demand for commercial purposes it is still plentiful at the Stock Ex- change ; as the public are tempted by the recent fall in the Funds to purchase Stock, and the aggregate amount of investments has been very large.

In the Foreign Market, the fluctuations in all sorts of Stock have been unusually great. Dutch, Russian, and Belgian, have severally improved be- tween 2 and 3 per cent.

The Portuguese Stocks, after having been very considerably depressed, have rallied ; the Five per Cents., after being at 47, were to- day at 54, but leave off a'aout 51; the Three per Cents. have not fluctuated so much, the oscillations having been between 30 and 35.

During the early part of the week, the Spanish Active Stock was depressed to 20 ; the rumours to which we last week adverted being confidently circu- lated. On Wednesday the intelligence of the defeat ef GOMEZ was received, and the Stock rose from 21i, and continued to improve in price till this morn- ing, when it reached 27i. A sudden 'reaction to 25i has since occurred, and the price closes at 26. The rise to 27i was in part occasioned by the report that the Dividend on the Home Debt, payable on the Jut of October in Madrid, had been advertised ; and among other causes for the sudden reaction of to (lay, one may be found in the fact that the payment alluded to is not to be made in bard money, but in Vales. The altered appearance of the Christino cause has entirely put an end to the disposition (which we last week noticed) for specula- tion in the Carlist Loan.

The South American Funds have generally improved ; and the Railway Shares have been quite neglected, in the excitement which has prevailed in all the Stock Markets.

SATURDAY.TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market is rather heavier this morning : the price for Money is 88i 89, and for the Account 89. Exchequer Bills are quoted rather higher than yesterday,-2d. Bills being 5 7prem , Id. 1 3 prem., and Commercial 1 dis. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock is 24 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 51 52; the Three per Cents. 33 34; and the Scrip of the New Loan is nominally quoted at 25 dis. The prices of Brazilian and Danish Stocks are quoted ex. div. The Northern Stocks are rather heavier, but there has not been niu.th business of any kind. The letters by the French mail, which had not arr.v_cl in the usual course, have been delivered during the morning ; and by them we learn that the Three per Cents. hail declined on Thursday about i per cent., and Spanish Stock had fallen ; the closing quotation of Active Stock being 25. The advices received yesterday from the Brazils have caused an improvement in the price of Condonga Shares of from 2/. to 3/. The otherninia !ar es continue the same.

SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.

The Control Market closes rather lower than in the morning; the price for Money being 88i, for the Account 881 89. The Foreign Funds are generally at the morning's prices, with the exception of Spanish and Portuguese Bonds, which have experienced some fluctuations.
