MONEY MARKET.

STocz ExceAwes, FINDAY A FTE 5500$.

The Funds have not fluctuated materially. The trifling variations in prices have been chiefly connected with the aspect of domestic politics ; the divisions -in the House of Lords upon the Corn Bill having =proved the tone of the market, while the tenor of the Commons debate upon the Irish Coercion Bill, by encou- raging the-belief that the Ministers will be left in a minority, has operated un- favourably. The quotations, that at the beginning of the week were advancing, have since given way ; and though the present closing prices indicate a improvement, the market must be considered feeble. Some.considerabie sales of Stock and Exchequer Bills have occurred, occasioned by the termination of several Railway schemes. Money is consequently in request; the Stock now. sold being chiefly held by the jobbers, against sales which they have effected for the first transfer, on the 6th July, and for the Consul Account. The premium of Exche- quer Bills still declines, and today has fallen: as low -as Cs. There Walla no -immediate prospect of an improvement in this security, until the market be

relieved of the continual pressure occasioned by the Railway sales. .

The chief business in the Foreign Market has occurred in Portuguese Bonds ; which have been as much in request since Monday as they were in disrepute dining the last week. All fears about the -dividend have been dispelled by the appearance of the usual advertisement announcing its payment. in due course. The price has since gradually risen, till from 44, the lowest point of depression, it -has reached 61. This high price has as is -usually the ease, caused several spe- culative holders to realize; -and the closing quotations today are 49 to 50-49k, -being the lowest price at which business has been done.

SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK•

Not thealightest change or business of importance has occurred in the prices of either the English or Foreign Funds, which are the same as yesterday. The Railway Shares also are without material variation. We may, however, remark, that the Parliamentary success of the Direct Portsmouth has caused the shares to rise, contrary to the usual recent practice, which has been that whenever the bill authorizing the construction of any railway has passed the third reading, the shares have fallen to a discount. Those of the Direct Portsmouth have, however, risen; being quoted at 44 per share, or 4 premium. The business of the morning has as yet been confined to the following bargains: Bristol and Exeter, 834; Eastern Counties, 24; Ditto, York Extension, 14; Leicester and Bedford, 4 die.; London and York, 2 14; Ditto, Half-shares, 13; North Stafford- shire, 4; Yortainounth Direct, 44; South-eastern and Dover, 39/.

SATtEDAY, Two O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are unchanged; the closing quotations being the same as in the morning. In the Foreign Market, Mexican Bonds have been done at 284, but are last quoted at 274 to 28. Portuguese Bonds are rather lower; business having occurred in them at 491 and 484, while the last quotation is 484 to 494. The other Foreign Bonds are unchanged. The only noticeable circumstance in the Railway Share Market is the briskness of the Eastern Counties, in which several bargains have occarred; the prices are not quite so high as yesterday, but the market was firm at the close. We subjoin a list of the transactions since the morn- ing: Birmingham and Gloucester, 127 8; Birmingham and Gloucester, New, 314; Bristol and Exeter, 834; Ditto, New, 94; Caledonian, Half-shares, 14; Caledonian Extension, 1; Eastern Counties, 24 34 44; Ditto, New, 74; Ditto, York Extension, 14 4; Great Western, Half-shares, 80; Ditto, Quarter-shares, 154; London and Birmingham, Quarters, 284; Ditto, Fifths, 254; London and Croydon, 224; London and South-western, 78; Midland, 149; Ditto, New, 314 4 ; Sonth-eastern and Dover, 391; Ditto, New, No. 3, 18; Ditto, New, No. 4, 241; York and North Midland, 984; Boulogne and Amiens,114; Louvain and Jemeppe, 1; Luxembourg, 14; Namur and Liege, 34; Orleans and Vierzon, 144; Paris and Lyons, Constituted, 64 4 4; Sambre and Meuse, 43.

rally been characterized by a greater or less degree of depression in the prices of almost every one of the current varieties. The new Scrip Shares are almost all in the same state as they have been for some time, viz. one of absolute torpor; the transactions being few, and the markets always feeble; for if any vitality be imparted to them by purchase, this favourable aspect is soon changed by the ap- pearance of sellers, taking advantage of the slightest favourable change to "get out."

the French and Foreign Shares are all neglected; and prices are, if anything, rather lower than those given in our last report.
