In sympathy with the English stock market, shares

and where business was done, a further concession in
price was submitted to. Midlands, Lancashire and
Yorkshires, London and North Westerns, South
Westerns, and Manchester and Sheffield', besides
others, being dealt iu on lower terms. Since the
rally in Consols, however, this market has worn a
decidedly improved aspect, and though still,

upward tendency.

MONEY MARKET.
-
THIS DAY.
Two o'CLoci.

The English stock market .
openea with a very
dull appearance this morning, a fluZher fall on the
Paris Bourse, produced by extensive " Flog„
operations, as advised by this morning's nail, ope-
rating as a decided check upon the market. From
yesterday's quotation, of 961 to 1„ at which they
opened, Consols fell back to 961, but as stock
did not come forward so abundantly as was
expected, the price has since rallied, and the
market now wears a decidedly firmer appearance,
with the quotations ruling at 961 to 1 for
money, and 961 for the 13th of May. Besides the
effect produced by the Paris adviecs, reports of thol
intention of the Bank directors at an early meeting
to interfere with the rate of discount, have again been
circulated with a view to depress the market.
Business for cash to-day has been a good deal
brisker, and the purchases include an investment in
the Reduced Threes on account of the Commissioners
for the Reduction of the National Debt.

The list of bargains is officially given as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 4,1, 4; ditto for ac
count, 961, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 96, 1,
951 961. ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, 1,

y.
daln the foreign bond market there is little business
stirring, and prices are nominally quoted at their
former range. Venezuelan Bonds, however. form an
exception, being in considerable request at improved

Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 391 ; Grenada One-

'the bill before the legislature of the State of New
York for the immediate enlargement of the Erie
canal, to which we have before alluded, failed to be-

come law, in consequence of the resignation of sun-
dry senators opposed to it. The if overnmeut called
an extra session for the 10th of June next. The
creation of a virtual debt to the extent of 1,875,0001.
sterling (although to be diffused through a period of
three years) meets with warm opposition in many
quarters.
