MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Money has become more scarce ; and several sales of Stock were made in the early part of the week, by which Consols were depressed to 89t1 for Money, and 819-3 for Account; but have since improved, and are to-day at 90 for Money, and
soh for Account. Exchequer Bills have declined ; the premium upon them being to-day as low as Os. Bank Stock has experienced a further improve-
ment, and has been as high as 171 both for Money and Acequat. The great
improvement in this Stock recently has given rise to a report that an arrange- ment has been concluded between the Corporation and the Government for the renewal of the Charter, which will expire in 1842. We cannot, however, trace this rumour to any authentic source, and are not inclined to give any credit to it. The recent price may be accounted for by the fact, that the price had been previously depressed, namely, to 156, in anticipation of a sale of .50,000/. Stockbelonging to the late Earl of BnircWaTen, which it was believed would be thrown upon the market, in accordance with a decree of the Court Of Chancery ; but, for some reason or other, the sale has not taken place; and with the improvement in other descriptions of Stock, this Security has risen nearly 14 per cent. The European Continental Stocks are in demand. Russian Five per Cents. are 113f ; Belgian Five per Cents., 981; and the Scrip of the new Belgian Loan 2 premium. Dutch Stock is steady at 504. The conclusion of a treaty of peace between France and the Republic of Buenos Ayres has caused a de- mand for the Bonds of that Republic, and the South American Stocks gene- rally. The former have been done as high as 214 ; while Peruvian hare been sit 164 and Brazilian at 74; Columbian have been steady at 234. Portuguese Securities have been but little affected, and the operations in them unim- portant. A purchase of 20,000/. Three per Cents, in the course of the week cave a tone to the market, which has been rendered more firm to-day in consequence of rumours of the settlement of the Douro question. Spanish Active Stock, which till this morning had fluctuated between 244 and 24i, and has been to-day at the former price, improved in the course of the afternoon snore than per cent., in consequence of some considerable speculative pur- chases, induced, it is said, by the receipt of an express from Paris bringing in- telligence of an improvement of 1 per cent. in the price of Active Stock in that capital, and a rise of 14 per cent. in Madrid, where the Local Stock was at 30. The quotation here has consequently been as high as 254 for the current, and 25i for the February Account: the market, however, afterwards gave way slightly ; but rallied again before the dose, when the last price was 254 for the Account, and 254 i for February.
