MONEY MARKET.
THIS DAY. _

Two o'CLocw.

The feeling of the stock market is still firm. Con-
sole opened at 971 for money and account, and have
been dealt in at 97 to 973. Bank Stock is steady.
As yet, few transactions have taken place in any
description of stock. While sending off this despatch,
we learn that the quotation of Consols hu advanced
to 971 to a, sufficiently showing the tone of the market.
The transactions of the morning, as officially quoted,
are :—Three per Cent. Consols Annuities, 97, 971
ditto for account, 971, 97; Three per Cent. Re-
duced Annuities, 97/, j ; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cent. Annuities, 991, 99. Long Annuities, 7 ;
Annuities expiring 10th Oct., 1559, 6 13-16. Bank
Stock, 217, 2161. India Stock, 2571, 257. It ii
considered that the Bank of England returns to-
night will show • considerable increase in the
bullion.

For some days operations in the unfunded securi-
ties have been to • lees extent, and the same quota-
tions prevail. The transactions are reported as fol-
lows:—Exchequer Bills of the several descriptions,
61s. to 645. prem.; India Bonds, 1,0001., 70s. prem.
The account in tho foreign stock market is being
arranged satisfactorily. For the next account of
the 27th few operations have taken place.
Mexicans remain as before. The committees cir-
cular having made no impression, Granada Active
and Deferred are rather better. Spanish stocks are
at the same prices as yesterday. Equador Bonds
have been dealt in at 4 to 41, but parties await
the result of the committee meeting on Mon-
day. The transactions which have taken place
are recorded officially as follows:—Buenos Ayres
Bonds, Six per Cents., 50. Equador Bonds, 41.
Grenada Bonds, ex Dec., 1849, Coupon, 171, 1, 1 ;
- ditto, Deferred, 71, 1. Mexican Bonds 324 ; ditto
for account, Feb. 27, -321. Peruvian Bonds, Five
per Cent., N; ditto for account, February
27, 951, 90. Russian Bonds, Five • per Cent.,
114; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Spanish
Active Bonds, 231; ditto, for account, 24 ; ditto,
New Three per Cents. Deferred, 181, 1, ; ditto,
Committee's Certificate for Coupons, 11 per cent.
The committee of Mexican bondholders state they
have had two several interviews with Mr. Fal-
connet since his arrival, which have proved satisfac-
tory. They have approved of the measures con-
certed by him with the Mexican government for
effecting an immediate payment of the January divi-
dend, and have conferred with him upon certain
matters calculated to ensure a more regular receipt of
the revenues assigned, and greater punctuality in the
payment of the dividend, as well as upon other
points which have been long pending in Mexico,
and which are of interest to the bondholders. Mr.
Falconnct did not pass through the United States, as
ho supposed that the appropriation of the Mexican
indemnity money bad been voted, and that the as-
signment in the hands of tho committee would have
become negotiable before his arrival here.
Translation of a letter of which Mr. Falconnet
was the bearer, from H. E. the President of the Re-
public of Mexico, to the Chairman of the Committee
of Mexican Bondholders :

Mexico, Dec. 17, 1851
Sir,—Mr. Falconnet will have informed you of the efforts
made b the govenimenL to fulfil its engagements towards
the holders of Mexican bonds, end to convince them of its
disposition to do whatever justice requires to the whole ex-
tent of its means. He will also have informed you of the
results of those efforts, and that in consequence be intends,
at the instance of the government, shortly to set out for
London, where his presence may be very useful in the way
of explaining to the bondholders various circumstances con-
nected with their interests here, as well as the real situation
of the republic and of the administration, in order to con-
cert between both parties the best means of establishing a
perfect understanding and harmony between them, so so to I
remove all cause fur doubts and misapprehension. Mr.
Falcoonet, who has supported the interests of his consti-
tuents here with so much seal, at the same time that he has
known how to guard every consideration towards the go-
vernment, thus conciliating his duties with a due ap
preciation of the present situation of the republic,
has consented to comply with the wishes and views
of the government so concerns this voyage, and
I avail myself with pleasure of this opportunity to state, in
justice to Mr. Falcounet, that the government is highly
pleased and satisfied with his conduct, and is in hones that
on his return, when the situation of the country may bevel
somewhat improved, the administration may be able to
solve the pending points relative to the foreign debt in •i
manner honourable to the government and satisfactory to
the bondholders, so as to answer their just expectations,
and compensate them for their generooity and sacrifices, its
accordance with the wishes of him who subscribes himself,
with sentiments of esteem and consideration,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
Maws° ARISTA.
