MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
The English Funds have not maintained the firm appearance they pre- rented last week ; but, under the influence of information respecting the ,angraentation of our Naval forces, and other causes, prices have declined. ,ionsols, which closed on Saturday at 1011, fell 1 on Monday, and also on Wednesday. A few purchases of Money Stock caused a alight rally y.ester- day ; but subsequently they returned to their former price, owing to opinions expressed regarding French politics, and a rumour that the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to propose a conversion of the Terminable Annui- ties into Consols. Today the Funds have been dull. Consols leave off at 1001 1 for Money and the Account. Exchequer Bills have declined 2s.; Bank Stock 1 per tent. India Stock has not altered. In the Foreign Market, business has been rather active, and some of the leading securities have improved. A rise of 1 has taken place in Brazilian, Belgsn Four-and-half per Cents, Dutch Two-and-half per Cents and Four PerwentCru,jalt end Gmnada Deferred; mid 1 in Amish Five per Cents,
Spanish Three per Cents have fallen 1 ; and the Deferred IL'iOnell Turkish Scrip declined 1, having been done as low as 1 pferiiinna,
which there has been only a partial recovery. The fall foUo1 reafrainia nieation received by the Committee of Bondholders, from Lor almesbu which was regarded as unsatisfactory, inasmuch as no interfer of- cial nature seems likely to take place from that quarter, on fo original firman not having been literally adhered to. Turkish Scrip-A today at lt t premium. Swedish Scrip has been heavy, owing to the payment of the second instalment having been announced ; it closes today at lt 11 discount.
In the Railway Market, the English lines exhibited considerable firmness in the early part of the week. On Monday the settlement of the Account took place, and the rate paid for continuation was high ; from which it may be inferred that there is a feeling of confidence amongst holders. Several of the leading Shares rose from 10s. to 2/. ; which was maintained on Tuesday : London and North-western Stock was done as high as 1291. and Great Western 98. On the two subsequent days there was a little flatness, arising more from the state of the Conaol market than any other cause. At the close of business yesterday, the difference in some of the principal Shares com- pared with Saturday was to the following extent. Increase-Scottish Cen- tral, 41.; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 31. ; London and North-western, 1/. 10s.; Bristol and Exeter, Lancaster and Carlisle, London, Brighton, and South Coast, and Midland, 1/. ; Great Western, 58. Decrease-Lancashire and York- shire, 1/. 103. ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 1/. ; East Lancashire, and South-eastern, 108.
