MONEY MARKET.
TIII6DAT STEWING.
The liquidation of the account which matured this
day was the leading business of the market, and, so
far as hitherto has transpired, has been unattended
with any casualty of au unfortunate character, not-
withstanding the extraordinary range of prices, as
however remains to be verified more precisely by the
result of pay day, which to-morrow will close the
settlement The transactions in Consols, both for
money and the account now opened for the 13th of
March, have been extremely active and numerous, and
in the aggregate of important consideration, although
it did not appear that any of those extensive opera-
tions for account of leading capitalists, or combinaticeas
of speculators, were in question, which are not un-
usual in times of excitement, when a decided course
of action upon settled opinions is undertaken upon al
large scale with a view to special results, whether et
a rise or fall in prices. Individual opinion on all
hands would, however, seem to have been decidedly I
favourable to the further progress of prices, for al-
though Comb; retrograded for money about the
middle of the day to 93a, or say nearly 1 below the
opening rates, yet each was their elasticity that very
shortly afterwards they were bought at 94k, and
before the close of the market at 941,
when quoted 941 to 1, leaving off a fraction
lower at 941 to 1. Throughout the day, it is to be
observed, there was a rather marked continuation us
between money and time stock, reaching occasionally
to 1 per cent., but by the close of business it was re-
duad to /, when Console for account were quoted
and left off 941 to 1. Reduced Threes were 944 to 1,
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 95Z to 1. Long
Annuities, 9 1-16 to 1. March Exchequer Bills, 435.
to 46.. prem.; the June bills 46s to 495. prem. India
Bonds, 50e. to 525. prem.
The foreign market obtained little of the attention
of jobbers, who were necessarily more pressingly en-
gaged in the fore part of the day with the
business of the settlement, and subsequently found
more potent attraction in the Consols market, with its
excitement of ascending prices. The more noticeable
occurrence in foreign stocks was the farther rise in
Russian, which were bought at 1091, and quoted 109
to 11.1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 50
to f; the Fours, 79 to 80. Belgian, 80 to 2.
French Three per Cent. Rental; were done at .491 ;
at exchange, 25E 30c. Daniell, without business,
were quoted 66 to 70. Spanish Fives 18 to ; the
Threes 30 to 3; Passives, 4} to 1. Portuguese, 26 to
6. Mexican, 25 to 1. Brazilian, 80 to 2. Chilian,
92 to 4. Peruvian, 48 to 50. New Granada, 15
to f. Venezuela, 19 to 21. Buenos Ayres, 25 to 7.
Ecuador, 21 to 31. A bargain at 84 was done in
Cuba Bonds, which seldom make their appearance at
market
The Consols account, now brought to a liquidation,
opened on the 16th ult. with Consols for this account
at 891 to as the closing quotations of that day.
The fluctuations of prices since, with the particular
dates of their occurrence, as between the highest and
lowest rates for money stock only on the days cited,
are subjoined. It is to be remarked that prices re-
mained without any very sensible movement in the
intermediate dates :

Foreign exchange was quoted rather lower, or with
a downward tendency to-day on some of the chief
drawingerglaoes. On Amsterdam the negotiations were
12.2 to ;on Rotterdam, 12.21 ;on Antwerp, 25.70 ;
on Ham , 13.111 ;on Frankfort, 121 to 1; on
Petersburg, 361, to ; on Paris, 25.55 to 60 (at
short 25.30 to 35) ; on Vienna, 11.24 to 26; on
Leghorn, 32.10 to 30; on Naples, 40 to 401; en
Madrid, 461 to ;on Lisbon, -51/ to;—all at three
months, except as otherwise expressed.
The advises from Hamburg to the 10th instant re-
present money with the same want of employment,
whilst funds and shares remained without improve-
ment. Gold had buyers at 437. Exchange on Lon-

better paid. On Petersburg money was had for bills
at 34 to 6.32 ; Coupons and Mandate, 331 to 1. Bills
on Vienna at 1671 found few takers.
More wheat was offering, and the market therefore
flat, at a decline of Is. Spring shipments from the
Baltic were held for 40s. to 41s. The market for
coffee was firm, and there wu more inquiry for rice.
Sugar was dull, with only small sales to local re-
finers.
It is complained in accounts from Ireland that the
improvement in trade generally observed here has
not at all extended to that unfortunate country, and
in proof, the continued demean of the bank paper
circulation is referred to. From the official returns
dell the Irish banks far the month ending the 27th ult.
it is stated that the notes were further in decrease, sr
compared with the month preceding, by 113,0001., or
nearly 600,0001. lea then at the same veriod lent
