THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY MORNING, ELEVEN o'CLocE..—Our market presents now a very different appearance from that of Friday and Saturday last. The alarm which then prevailed has now entirely subsided ; and many of the parties who were then so anxiously selling stock at low prices, have since been as eagerly buying it back at high prices. We spoke last week of our City politicians being seldom long-sighted, and the transactions of this week afford ample corroborations of that opinion. If there were grounds of alarm then, they are not removed now. But it is useless to reason on such a subject. Most of our speculators may be compared to a flock of sheep,—if one sheep leaps the wall, the rest follow ; if one speculator begins to sell or to buy, his example is speedily followed. As the heavy Stocks were not much influenced by the fall in Consols, neither have they since risen in the same proportion, but are now higher, and in fact nearly as high as ever. On Monday, Consols opened at 871 to '4, and were soon done at 88. On Tuesday, they relapsed to 874 ; from which price they have since gradually, and with very slight fluctuations, advanced to 88i. They have been done this morning, indeed, at 89; but at this mo- ment 881 is the nearest price.
Money is still as abundant as ever.
The Continental Bonds have recovered with Consols, and Russian have touched 1014. The South American Bonds are in statu quo; and in Shares the only fluctuations have been in those of the Brazil Mining Association, which from 751. fell during the week to 621., but have again recovered nearly their former ground.
