MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCILANGE, FRIDAY AFTETt140021•

The unsettled state of France, as evinced by the fluctuating money-market of Paris, has caused a downward move in our own Funds. Consols, which were at 99, have for the last few days been oscillating between 981 and 984, and close this afternoon at 984 4. The late rise has brought Stock to market, and money has been more in demand than for some time, although the rate of interest on loans upon the security of English Stock is still from 2 to 3 per cent. Today, at the settlement of the Foreign Account, money was scarce in the Foreign Market, where the speculation now going forward in Railway Shares has been the cause of high rates being paid to carry over accounts to the 16th December. The payments upon the Sardinian Loan, the last of which (to the amount of 15 per cent less the dividend) becomes due on Mon- day, have aided in the absorption of capital. Of the total loan of 3,500,0001., it is supposed that rather more than two millions are held in this country. Employ ment has thus been found for about 1,700,0001. more capital during the last six months. The transactions of the Foreign Market have been more extensive than usual. Brazilian and Portuguese of 1824 are still in demand ; the former having today been at 944, and the latter at 92. Mexican Stock has expe- rienced little fluctuation; the range of variation being from 231 to 24. Pe- ruvian has advanced about 1 per cent, and is more inquired after. The other South American Stocks are without change. Spanish Active Stock is without material variation : it is understood that the conversion of the Ac- tive into the New Stock is to commence immediately, and that the usual formal notice by advertisement will appear tomorrow. Portuguese Four per Cents are also steady, with a tendency to improvement. The Railway Shure Market has experienced some fluctuations, and the re- sult of the week's business has been to establish the closing quotations of today rather in advance of those of last week. Among the notices of new undertakings, is one of a line from Hounslow to Oxford, to be carried out jointly by the South-western and North-western, as a means of crippling the Great Western. The "battle of the gauges" will consequently be re- newed in the next session, unless Parliament should step in, and prevent the Companies from carry ing out a scheme which can only bring profit to the undertakers by the ruin of the Great Western. Perhaps, after all, the plan is only resorted to as a means of bringing about a more favourable ar- rangement of the many points in dispute between the two great Companies. The French Shares have experienced some fluctuation, and in the course of the week have fallen generally from 5s. to 10s. They are all, however, higher this afternoon, in consequence of intelligence by telegraph of an im- provement in the prices of them in Pans today.

SATCHDAY TWELVB O'CLOCK.

The English Funds are steady at the closing prices of yesterday, with little doing. The French Funds fell 5 cents yesterday in Paris, the last price of the Five per Cents being 91.50. In the Foreign Market prices are nearly the same as yesterday, An advertisement has appeared this morning notify- ing the appointment of the London and County Bank, Lombard Street, as agents to the Committee for the conversion of the Spanish Debt ; and stating that the bonds will be received daily till the 31st December for conversion, and that the dividend for the half-year ending 31st December next will only be paid upon such bonds as shall have been presented for conversion on or before that day. A notice has since, however, been sent to the Stock Exchange by Senor Borrajo, the Commissioner, extending the period for the conversion without forfeiture of the dividend to 31st March 1852. The Rail- way Share Market is firm ; the following are the principal transactions- Anabergate, 51 ; Chester and Holyhead, 214; Great Northern, 174 ; Brighton, 954; Midland, 56; ; North Staffordshire, 94 ; York and North Midland, 23.
