MONEY MARKET.

Txuasoav Imam&
The funds opered firm, but neither the Indian news
nor the Royal Speech wu considered of a nature to
sustain them. The absence of the accustomed para-
graph respecting friendly assurances from foreign
powers wu disagreeably noticed ; and, in fine, Consols
went down to 911, having previously recovered to 91t.
The market closed rather worse still at 911 to 1, both
for money and time. The Speech, after the close of
businees, was still the subject of keen discussion in the
I various resorts of members of the Stock Exchange in
the neighbourhood of the establishment. Reduced
Threes left off 911 to 1. Three-and-s-Quarter per
Cents., 921 to 1. Long Annuities, 81 to 15-18.
March Exchequer Bills, 395. to 425. prem. ; the
June Bills, 475. to 495. pi em. Bank Stock, 193 to
195. India Stock, 245 to 7.

The foreign market was almost neglected in pre-
sence of the higher interest involved in the questions
of the day bearing exclusively upon the funds.
Spanish Fives were the more particular objects of
speculation; they were bought up to 15, and may be
quoted 15 to 3 ; the Threes, 271 to 83 ; Passive, 31 to 3.
This unusual activity of transactions must, as may be
supposed, be accepted asa sort of improved value, or
greater importance, of Spanish stocks, of the non-divi-
dend paying Fist. s moreespecially,arising from somecir-
cumstance or other, evidently not of general knowledge.
But we may mention that in private letters from Am-
sterdam it is stated, rather loosely perhap., that the
committee of Spanish bondholders of that city, in
conjunction with similar committees in Antwerp and
Berlin, have selected and invested with full powers
certain well-qualified parties to represent their griev-
ances, and demand redress at the hands of the
Spanish government in Madrid. This deputation, it
is said, would take Lcndon in its way, to communicate
with the bondholders here, and enforce the necessity
of vigorous and united action, for which the present
moment is considered to be extremely propitious
From hence they pass to Paris, to re-animate, if pos
Bible, the dying embers of the once active Spanish
committee there.

It is not improbable that this Dutch deputation may
be now here, supposing the reports in the lett."s from
Amsterdam to be founded in fact, as no doubt they
are. We have observed lately in the German papers
that meetings of Spanish bondholders in Berlin and
other continental cities have been held, at which
strong resolutions were passed, but which it was not
deemed necessary to notice at the time es isolated
efforts, more especially when effect could not be given
to them by the governing powers, and therefore
they could be of no avail. But in this instance,
always assuming for granted what is said,
it is evident that a great combined movement is con-
templated, which, if fully carried out, cannot fail to
be efficacious, as may be shown on other occasions
when more authoritatively advised upon the actual
and active merits of this reported movement.
