THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANA FRIDAY EVENING.
The operations in the Money Market during the week, have given abundant evidence of the indisposition of the holders of Stock to part with their seen:Ales; for notwithstanding the warlike appearance of affairs, Stocks are not more than per cent. below the prices of last week. Money still continues abundant, and Exchequer Bills maintain themselves at very nearly their old prices. Consols opened on Monday morning at 83;4 *, and remained steady at nearly that price till the afternoon, when a fall took place, and the closing price was 8:3a. After the usual hours of business, some bargains were effected as low as 82a. On Tuesday, the opening price was 83; and it continued to improve till yesterday, when Consols reached their highest price, 83g. Another decline took place in the course of yesterday to 83a 1, and to-day the Stock has been 83; it has since rallied to 831, and closes at 83„ Reduced has been at 821 and 82, was to- day 82*, and closed at 82a 1. New 3* per Cents. have been at 94, 901; ; and were to-day as high as 91*, and close at 911 I. Bank Stock is lower, having been on Monday at 1861; and to-day it is quoted at 11351. Exchequer Bills have been 25s. and 23s. ; and are to-day 24s., 211s. prem.
The fluctuations in the Foreign Funds have been much greater than in the English Stocks, and the business has been more extensive. Belgian Bonds have been 73*, and to-day were as low as 711, and close 7114. Brazilian Bonds have been at 47 and 46, and close at 461. Danish Bonds have been steady at 67*, and close at 664, 671. Dutch Stock has fluctuated between 41i and 401, and closes 402 4. The purchases by the English public have been very large; but as they have been counteracted by some extensive importations of the Stock from Holland, the Market has given way to the extent noticed. Greek Stock has declined ; a large quantity was brought to Market at 26, and the Bonds close at 25, 26. Portuguese Stock was in demand in the early part of the week at 49*; but the intelligence from Oporto received to-day, has depressed the price to 48, and the Market closes at 48A. From the same cause, the Regency Scrip, which has been as high as 31 dis., was to-day at.41 ; and closes at 41 and 4 die. Spanish Stock was at 17 on Monday, but suddenly went back to 16a, and has since rallied to 16?; ; closing this afternoon at 16a '4.
Nothing has occurred in the Money Market worthy of remark this morning ; Consols have scarcely varied from the opening price. Exchequer Bills have improved, being 26s. 23s. prem. In the Foreign Market a few bargains have been effected in the Portuguese Regency Scrip at a tang improvement on the closing price of yesterday, but all other Stocks, as will be seen by prices below, remain at yesterday's quotation.
