MONEY MARKET.
TUBSDAT BYZNINO.
The members of the stock exchange have been
almost solely occupied with the liquidation of the
half quarterly account to-day, and the more anxiously
so :rom the declaration early in the morning by a
broker of respectable standing, of inability to meet
his engagements. The cause assigned was that he
had been left by his principal out of doors, for whom
he had contracted liabilities to the extent of 20,000/.
The amount will probably turn out to be overcharged,
although it may be hoped the accompanying
report will prove correct, that the broker him-
self is prepared to pay 15s. in the pound upon
his debits at once, and tho remainder within a
short period. Some other compromises and defaults
upon a small scale were mentioned, but in the aggre-
gate even were of little importance. To-morrow will
be the day of more particular proof, however, as to
the more or less satisfactory manner in which
payments shall be met, and the liquidation finally
effected. It does not appear that at the usual time
for the declaration of options yesterday any large
amount of stock was either "put " or called.
Notwithstanding the press of making-up accounts
arising out of tee settlement, transactions for the
account now opened for the 26th of February, began
to be actively carried on towards the close of the
Consols
ending with a slight improvement in prices.
Consols had been as low as 861 for money during the
morning, and es high as 871, the average of the day
about 87 to ; but they left off 87,1 to both for
money and February. The fact of there being no
continuation as between money and time, is
sufficient evidence that the account now dis-
posed of was decidedly of a " bear " com-
plexion. It may be inferred, moreover, from the
steadiness as well as firmness of the market, and from
the state of money, that but for apprehensions spring-
ing out of the political circumstances of the day,
public securities would attain to higher than present
rates. The Bank and the Treasury must probably be
reckoned for something in the improvement of values
so far as these have proceeded, as well perhaps as the
further progress apparently intended, and which may
yet come to be realised, with a view to financial
operations connected with certain exigencies in the
month of March next. Reduced Threes, 875 to 5.

nuities, 8 13-16 to 16-16. Exchequer Bills, 255. to

The account in the foreign market was concluded
to-day, and but few fresh transactions were entered
into. Amongst those marked for actual bargains
done were Mexican quoted 17; to 185. Peruvian in
advance to 361 to 374. Portuguese, 231 to 61. Dutch

to 9. Spanish Fives were nominally quoted 185 to
191; the Threes, 285 to 95.

to-day, and but little doing. On Amsterdam the
negotiations were 12.61 to 6; on Rotterdam, 12.51
to 6; on Antwerp, 26 to 6 on Hamburg, 13.145
to t ; on Frankfort, 1235 ; on Paris, 25.925 to 971 ; on
