MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE. FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The English Funds have presented very little change of character from

that recorded in our report of last week. The fluctuations have been of a very trifling description, with an absence of political or other causes likely to have produced excitement. The market on Monday exhibited rather a firm appearance, and an advance of 1 was established ; Consols closing at 1001 f. This improvement was not maintained; the Funds declining 1 on Tuesday, and continuing at the same quotation on that and two subsequent day; with the exception of a slight recovery on Thursday for a short period. Today there has been a farther depression of 1; the last price of Consols being 100f, the Market presenting a dull appearance. Exchequer Bills declined on Tues- day to 71 74, and have remained at this price. In Foreign Stocks there has not been much activity,. but prices generally have been maintained. Spanish Three per Cents were in demand on Mon- day at 1 improvement in price ; business having been transacted at 51, and in the Deferred at 23f : there was a fall of 1 on Thursday, which today has been recovered. Brazilian and Belgian Four-and-a-half per Cents have

advanced this week I, and Sardinian Bonds f. Peruvian has declined 11. The Scrip of the Turkish Loan has been much less dealt in, with a disposi- tion to realize and a gradual decline. It was yesterday at 91 pre- mium, and today it leaves off at 81 9, being 1 per cent lower than last week. Telegraphic accounts from Vienna, received on Monday, stated the sub- scriptions to the new loan exceeded the amount required. The Messrs. Rothschild, it is said, have taken the sum of 3,100,0001. out of the total of 8,000,0001. By minces on Tuesday, a favourable reaction in the exchanges lied been produced, owing to the foreign draughts on account of this loan ; the rate on London being 11.23. The Loan itself had rapidly improved to 61 premium. Subsequent accounts, received on Wednesday, show that this quotation was only temporary : the Five per Cent Stock had declined 3 per cent, viz. to 961. No price was named for the new loan, but it was sup- posed to have experienced a fall equal to that of the other stock. The ex- change had been unfavourably affected at the quotation of 11.28. Thurs- day's advises were also discouraging.

In the Share Market, Railway Stocks have been in rather an unsettled con-

dition, with a tendency to depression on most days. The variations have been to no great 'extent, but there has been a disposition to effect sales ; and this feature Was, very prevalent yesterday: there had then been a decrease in some of the principal lines, to the following extent compared with Saturday last,—Lonacin and South-western, 11. 10s. ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 11. ; London and Mirth-western, and Midland, lir.; Great Western, and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 10s. An improvement of 1/. in Bristol and Exe- ter, and 15s. in Caledonian, had taken place. Great Northern, South- eastern, and York, Newcastle, and Berwick, had not altered. Today the markets have been more mite!, but no disposition to rally. The demand for Foreign Shares, referreffto in our last report, has continued : there has been a farther advance in the following—Lyons and Avignon, and Rouen and Havre, 11. 58.; Paris and Rouen, and Western of France, 10s. ; Paris and Lyons, 78. 6d.

In the English M,arket the Funds opened and continue at the closing

price of yesterday—Consols for Money and the Account 1001. Foreign Stocks are inactive, and quotations have not altered. No business has yet been done in Turkish Scrip; it is nominally 81 9 premium, the price of yes- terday. In the Share hierket, Railway Stocks continue dull ; a few trans- actions have taken place at the following prices—South Wales, 401; Man- chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 32 ; Ditto 6/. Shares, 31 • South- eastern, 721; Great Western fixed 41 per Cent, 108 ; London and North- western, 120 ; London and Blackwell, 8i.
