MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FR/DAY Arrinixoox.
The question of peace or war in Germany being still undetermined, specu- lators and capitalists are in a state of suspense, and the transactions both in the English and Foreign Stock Market have been unimportant. Money would appear to be more in demand in Lombard Street, as one of the princi- pal discount-firms became a borrower on Wednesday in the Stook Exchange to the extent of 100,000/.!.: this, however, is almost the only indication of increased demand. The fluctuation of Consols has not exceeded per cent; the extreme prices both for Money and the Account havingrten 96,/ and 971. The closing price this afternoon is 961 for Money, and 97 for Account. Some importance is attached to the advises expected from rlin tomorrow. The speech of the King of Prussia at the opening of the Chambers would be delivered, and a telegraph report of it will be received tomorrow : it is not doubted, from the improvement of the Prussian Funds in Berlin on Wed- nesday, that the tenour of the speech will be pacific.
Our report of the proceedings of the Foreign Market must be brief and un- interesting. On Monday and Tuesday, some rather considerable business occurred in Russian Four-and-a-half per Cent Stock, at prices ranging from 951 to 961: the transactions of the last few days have been unimportant, at prices about per cent below those just given. The business in the other Northern European Stocks has been insignificant. Mexican Bonds have un- dergone a trifling decline, and the transactions have been at prices from to per cent below our last report. The South American Securities have been
