MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVIININO.
The English stock market wore a buoyant appear-
ing(' to-day, more confidence being expressed in the
paition of political affairs at home and abroad,
whilst the abundance of money affords further sup-
port. Consols met with a good many transactions, at
as advance of per cent., the price reaching 981, but
Ido last quotation was a shade lower, at 971 to 98,
beaky and the 13th April, being a rise of
as ees with Saturday's range. The figures
officially marked are :—Consols, for money, 98, 971,
981, 98, 4, 98 ; ditto for account, 98, 1, 98. By
special transfer there were bargains in the Reduced
Three per Cents. at 981; and in the New Throe-
and-a-Gluarter per Cents. at 991. Bank Stock, kr
account, marked 220f.1
Exchequer Bills continue in demand. The price
opened 6-is. to 675. premium, but soon rose ls., to
635. to 68s. prem.' at which range a good business
was done. India Bonds were rather quiet at 735.
to 765. prem.
In the foreign stock market the adjustment of
the account was in full progress, and a large
business was done. Most foreign bonds are held
weakly ais account, and the rates of " continua-
tion" submitted to are larger than usual.
The subjoined table shows the extreme prices at
which business has been done in the principal rail-
way stocks during the account now closing, and the
extreme fluctuation per share :

After making allowance for the margin ae betwein
buying and selling prices, these figures m many in-
stances show a considerable fluctuation, but this is
not to bo regarded as representing an actual rise,
since the market, although to-day at the highest
point of the account, has been subjected several times
to depression. The settlement of the railway share
account to-day engaged much attention, and placed
this market upon a better fooling. On Saturday,
which was " continuation day," the rates ruled light,
but today they varied, being in some cases heavier,
and in others lighter. A few of the rates current at
one period this morning are subjoined:
London and North-Western, to continuation.
Great Western, to 7, continuation.
Midland, to 7, continuation.
South Western, 1-32 to 3.32 continuation.
Caledonian, borrowers to 1-18 backwardation.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, borrowers to back-
wardation.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by the various English securities
cited at the average of the prices now ruling. Where
the asteri►k (•) is prefixed, it is to be understood that
the share rate of interest is less the income tax. It
will be seen that in every case we take the rate of
interest last declared as the basis of our calculation.
To render the results strictly accurate, the pro-
portion of interest which may have accrued since
last dividend period should, in each case, be taken
into account:
