MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDA T EVENING.
The English stock market was dull during the
greater part of the day, but became improved towards
the close of business, and finally left off with an in--
proved appearance. Consols generally ruled at 1011
to 4 for cash, but the closing price was 1011 to 4 for
money, and 101; to 4 for the new account of the
16th January. The settlement of the account was
in full progress, but did not exeite much attention,
the account proving iight. After the regular hours
of business an attempt was made to depress the
market, Consols being offered for January at 1011,
but all the stock so offered was quickly absorbed,
and the price rallied. In Reduced Threes there was
another
.purchase on government account at 1004.
The bummers list is as follow* :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 101 Z, 1,4, ; ditto for account,
1014, 4. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1001 Z.

There was a decided fall in Exchequer Bills to-day.
Heavy sellers offered, and the price of both the
March and June issueselosed only 633. to 68s. prem.,
being a reduction of 3s. India Bonds receded to
79is. to 82e. prem.
There is not much movement in the foreign stock
department. Purchasers of Peruvian stocks continue
to offer, and Portuguese and Turkish were both
firmer. Mexican Bonds were a shade flatter. There
Is a heavy " bear" account open in this stock, and
the necessity for buying back contributes powerfully
to support the price. Bargains are thus recorded:—

and-a-Half per Cents., 98; ditto Five per Cents.,
1843, 1025. Danish Five per Cents., 1065, 107.

The 4financial agent of Portugal in London has
advertised the payment of the 17th half-yearly in-
stalment on the Portuguese Annuities of 1843 for
211,5751., due the Ist of June, 1851. The payment
will be made after the 9th instant. The same agent
also announces that from the Ist Feb. he will be
ready to pay the dividends which become due on the
Ist.Jan., 1853, on the Portuguese Five per Cent.
Stock, 1841 (24th dividend warrant); Four per
Cent. Stock, 1845 (16th dividend warrant); and
Three per Cent. Stock, 1848 (9th dividend warrant)
the half of the dividend on the old Unconverted
Bonds, and twelvemonths interest also due Ist Jan.,
1853, on the Debentures of the January and Decem-
ber issues. From all these payments, however (with
the exception of the Annuities of 1843), the iniqui-
tous deduction of 25 per cent, will still be enforced,
subject, as a matter of course, to the usual formal
protest of Mr. Richard Thornton, chairman of the
Portuguese Bondholders Committee. At a period
when Portugal is attempting to raise money here for
a railway, under government guarantee, it becomes
necessary to keep the public alive to the true position
of the credit of that ill-governed country.
Two new loan transactions with German govern-
Intents are referred to in the Frankfort and other
papers, the chief agents being the Rothschilds. It
is stated that the government of Hesse Darmstadt
has concluded with the house of MM. Rothschild a
loan of 1,200,000 florins, at 44 per cent. interest, for
the construction of a railroad. The loan is taken at
the rate of 100 florins 464 kreutzers for every 100
florins of capital. It is further mentioned that a
subscription was opened on the 3rd at Frankfort, at
the office of MM.Rothschild, and atMannheim at the
office of MM. Ladenberg and Son, for the construc-
tion of a railway from Neustadt to the Hardt, by
Landau to the Franco-Bavarian frontier at Wissem-
berg. The amount is 4,400,000 florins, divided into
8,800 shares of 500 florins each. The Bavarian go-
vernment guarantees 41 per cent. for 25 years. The
concession is for 99 years.
At the meeting of the Hibernian Bank proprietary
at Dublin, a dividend of 6 per cent, on the paid-up
