MONEY MARKET.

TIIIS DAT.

Two o'Ctocx.
Business in the English stock market has been
unusually restricted this morning, even for a Satur-
day, and though prices havo not undergone any
quotable change, they have with difficulty been
maintained at the rally which took place yesterday
afternoon. The pressure for money does not seem
to have yet passed over, money stock being still
brought forward, though not so abundantly, and Ex-
chequer Bills still pressed on the market fur realisa-
tion.

('onsols have been quoted all day, as they lett off
yesterday, at 971 to t for money, and 97 t to; for
,the lothofJune. Other stocks have scarcely been
touched throughout the day. The official report of
business is : Three per Cent. Consuls, 97;, ; ditto
for account, 97;1,1; Three per Cents. lteduc&, 96! ;
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, b ; Lung An-
nuities, 1800, 7 546.

. .
Exchequer Bills are again Is. lower, all sixes
having been dealt in at -Its. to -Cs. prem. In India
Bonds no transactions have occurred.

The foreign stock market is generally firm, and in
several descriptions a disposition to operate for a rise
is manifested. Spanish stocks arc buoyant, es-
pecially the Active Bonds, the progress of
the elections tending to promote a decided
belief that the governmental candidates will in
most instances be elected, and that the proposals for
the settlement of the debt will consequently be car-
ried out. In Mexican there is little disposition to ope-
rate, hut the price is maintained. Buenos Ayres Bonds
have attained a higher figure. A meeting of holders
of Messrs.llaring's loan of 1824 has been called by the
Spanish American committee for Thursday. next, the
22nd inst., at the London Tavern. Hussein Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. continue to creep up, being in ,
some demand for investment. Peruvian on the 1
other baud remains depressed, apprehensions being
entertained by some cautious people that the value
of the guano from which the payment of the divi-
dends is derived, will be diminished by the re-
cent discoveries in other quarters. Portu-
L7stocks are also flat, and looking down. To-
business list is as follows:—Buenos Ayres Six
per Cents., 57; Chili= Six per Cents., 103:. Mexi-
can, 35!, ). Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 811;
ditto lkfeived, 37. Portuguese Five per Cents. Con-
verted, 1841, 34,1; ditto Four per Cents., 331, 321;
Russian Four-ard-a-Holf per Cents., 100: Spanish
Active Five per Cents. for account, 20: ; ditto Pas-
sive, 6, ; ditto Three per Cents., 40.
