MONEY MARKET. . •

STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY AFTEENOON.

In the early part of the week the English Funds presented a very firm ap- pearance. Consols rose to 100a 1 at the opening on Monday, but subsequently became rather languid, and closed at a slight decline. Great buoyancy was exhibited on Tuesday, when an improvement of 1 was established ; and prices closed very firm generally. This advance was lost on Wednesday : the Funds opened at the same quotations, but soon became heavy, from a supply of Money Stock, the public having latterly on several occasions effected sales when Consols have reached a few fractions above par. Yester- day, the sales having continued, there was a farther fall of ; which today

has been recovered, Consols leaving off at looi f. Exchequer Bills main- tain the advance of last week. Bank Stock has been very heavy, and has de- clined 4 per cent: several sales have taken place, and it being always a very limited market, it is easily affected by a few operations; whether they relate to a demand or supply ; sales have been made as low as 2291 ; it closes this evening at 221 3. In the ForeignStock Market there has been a demand in Sesietal instances; and at improved prices. Several purchases have been ruade in Buenos'Ayres.

Stock, which was done on Tuesday as high as 81. Other securities hate ad- vanced to the following extent—Peruvian, 1 ; Spanish Three per Cents, Sar- dinian, and Austrian, 1. Swedish Scrip was favourably influenced on Mon-

day by purchases, and closed 1 / premium: there has sinee.been a gradual decline, and yesterday it was at 1 discount; today little-has been done; and it closes f discount to .T premium. 'Turkish &rip has experienced extensive fluctuations : it commenced on Monday at n premium, and was done as low as 41, closing at 51; on Tues-

day it varied between 41 and 6, keying off at about the same as.on the

previous day; on Wednesday, after having been depressed to 31; it rallied to 41 g ; ana on Thursday closed at 51 I premium, after several fluctuations.

The Scrip has been influenced by telegraphic accounts from Vienna, stating

that the recent dismissal of the Finance Minister.had been succeeded by a break-up of the Cabinet, and removal of the Grand Vizier : 2,000,000/

sterling had been unexpectedly discovered in the Treasury, and it is be- lieved that the dismissals have been owing to the Sultan's suspecting concealment or misappropriation. Reports were circulated that difficul- ties had been raised with regard to the recognition of the loan. The French

Minister is said to have interfered in the matter. Telegraphic accounts' te the 9th were received on Wednesday, vie. Trieste, from which it appeared that Sultan still refused to ratify the loan; arrived yesterday from. Constantinople to the 7th, corroborating this determination, and adding that

the Sultan offered at the same time to pay all the engagements of the Bank of Constantinople in gold ; which was refused by the k'rench Minister, and his remonstrance was believed to have produced a good effect. In conse- quence of the doubts expressed as to the ratification of the Turkish loan, upon 'which a further payment of 251. per cent becomes due on the 1st November, a letter has been addressed to the Committee of the Stock Ex-

change by some of the leading members : the Committee have since had communication with Messrs. Devaux and Co. the contractors ; who are un- derstood to have promised to obtain a copy of the firman from Paris. Today the Scrip closes at 51, with business done at 61 61 A I premium.

There was a meeting of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders on Wed- nesday, at which it was resolved to memorialize the Spanish Government with reference to the certificates for the confiscated portion of the arrears of dividends, and to use their exertions to get them funded into New De- ferred Three per Cent Stock.

In the Share Market, Railway Stocks have undergone very little fluctua- tion. The market slightly improved on Monday and Tuesday.; it afterwards

became weaker, chiefly on account of the depression in the English Funds. Yesterday, Great Western declined 158. ; London and North-western, London- and South-western, and Midland, 10s. ; and other lines also were affected. 'At the close of business, the difference in some of the leading shares, cOnipared with Saturday last, was to the following extent. Increase—South-eastern, 1/. las. • East Lancashire, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 11. •, Great Northern

same value as last week were Bristol and Exeter, Caledonian, London, Bright- on, and South Coast, and North British. In Foreign Shares—French, Bel- gian, and East Indian were dealt in at an advance in the early part of the week s but there was less activity latterly, with a disposition to realize.
