MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The debates in parliament, so far as they have pro-
ceeded, have not existed in the restoration of confi-
dence among the speculators in the Funds. Consols were
sold as low as 901 to-day, and buyers only 901. They
recovered, however, and left off better, at 911 to 1,
both for money and account. The market, it may be
observed, was extremely unstable during the day, and
influenced by various contradictory reports, the an-
thenticity of which could not be satisfactorily tested.
Reduced Threes were 911 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 921 to 1. Long Annuities, 8/ to 15-18.
Exchequer Bills for March, 393. to 425. prem. ; the
hoe Bills, 435. to 48s. poem. India Bonds, 435. to
50s. prom •
The foreign market has been almost neglected.
Mexican went down 25 to 1. Peruvian were quoted
48 to 50. Brazilian, 78 to 80. Chilian, 91 to 93.
New Granada, 15 to 16. Mexican, 23 to 1. Spanish
Fives, 141 to 15; the Threes, 271 to 8. Portuguese,
254 to 64. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 484
to 91; the Fours, 78 to 60. Russian, 104 to 106.
Foreign exchange was without material alteration.
On Amsterdam the negotiations were 121 to 1 ; on
Itotterdam, 12.24 ; on Antwerp, 25.65 to 70 ; on
HamburgA3.lll to 8 ;on Frankfort, 121 to k ; on
Paris' 25.55 to 60 (at short 25.321 to 37}); oa Vienna,
11.28 to 30 ;on Leghorn, 32.10 to 15; on Naples,

Thcnotes in reserve, which wereat 9,839,3131., is de-
creased by 3,5951. only. These returns serve to show
the indisposition of capitalists, and of the greater re-
cipients of dividends, to embark or invest their pro-
perty in the funds under present circumstances.
The following has been received in reference to the
memorial of the Spanish bondholders :
Madrid, Jan. 28, 1849.—J. Cape!, Esq. , London.—Dear sir,
—We duly received your letter of the Ist init , and on the
same day that it reached us handed your enclosure in person
to M. Mon. We regret that we have not yet beenable to for-
ward to lou an answer to the memorial of the boi.dholders.
The minister is much occupied preparin; the budget, which
be is to present to the Corte ; and we have reason to know
that important modifications in the tariff ere also in COWINe of
preparation. Those points absorb the minister's attention,
but he has promised a prompt reply to the memorial, an
which will, we believe, be satisiectory. We attribute the
delay heretofore in some degree to the feeling which we
know M. Men is influenced by, the necessity dwell consi-
sidering what be can do before he makes any promises. The
modification of the tariff may have some influence on his de-
cision, and it is said that the council of ministers lave had
discussions on the question of the settlement of the debt, but
this is too vague as yet for us to offer any opinion.—We are,
dear sir, your very obedient servants, (signed) 111:Nav
