MONEY MARKET.

Notwithstanding the quiet to which prevailed,
and the u:1119 email amount of business which
was dme on the leock Excharr to-day, the English
funds nevertheless presented a firmer aspect, and
partially recovered from the depression noticed yes-
terday. The first transaction in Consols were warked
at 924 for msney, and at 921 for secount; they soon,
however, exhibited more buoyancy, and rose to
.921,
both for money and account, and were oflinally
marked at the close 92; to ; for money, and 92; for
account. The Three per Cent. Reduced were Bret
done at and last at 93. The Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. marked 931 and Z.
The roots settled appearance of the Continent, and
the advanco which hu taken place within the last
flaw days in nearly all the principal European stocks
ea the respective continental bourses, have no doubt
contributed to impart more firmness to our own funds,
and the more general opinion is in favour of a farther
improvement.
The transactions in the foreign stocks were of a
very limited nature, and the dealing', which were
the following, presented no feature worthy cf notice :
Brazilian et 87 ; ditto, New Bonds, 1829 and 1839,
for account at MI. Buenos !tyres, at 31, Equador,
at 31, 4, and 34. Mexican, ex coupons, for account,
at 271, and r ; ditto, small, at 28. Portuguese
Four per Coots., for account, at 281. Spanish Five
per Cents., at 181. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., at 33 and 1 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certifieatw,

at 83i.
Although the increase in the private securities
the Batik during the week now closed amounts to
385.9131., and the increase in circulation is 111,106!.,
from which facts may be inferred that a larger
amount of disoaunt business has been transacted by
the Beek, and that money is consequently in greater
request, still the present state of the money muket
does rot justify such an assumption. The
temporary demand which existed for money
dur.og a portion of the preceding week has in
a great measure subsided, and there is now more
difficulty in placing it on call at 2 per cent., whilst
the rates of dirc3nut continue without alteration
first-rate paper being dose at 21 to 2; per ceut. The
bank retorts show the increase of bullion to be
20,9391., which in all probability will in due course
receive a further addit on from the amount of gold
which has been imported from Russia and Constant-,
noplo during the week to the value of 303,0001.,
besides about the same amount in silver (1,300,000
dollars) by the Vest India mail on Wednesday,
which latter has already affected the value of silver
in this market, the prc:ent price being for bar (stan-
dard) 4s. 11 id., and for dollars 4s. 100. per ounce.
The advice. of the 23rd, received to-day from
Frankfort, report a rise of nearly 2 per cent. in the
Ares•rian reletalliques, which were done foe money,
• the Five per Cents. at 781, Four per Cent,. at 62j,
Three per Cents. at 46j, Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 412.
