MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY ETRMINO.
The funds have shown much heaviness to-day,
although the sale transactions were by no means
extensive. The appearance at midday of a broker
firm, known to act generally for some Hebrew capi-
talists, as sellers both of stocks and railway shares,
assisted in discouraging a market which had
manifested little firmness before. It became,
however, subsequently understood that these sales
were quite unconnected with the capitalists re-
(erred to, although made for parties of scarcely
less consideration. Consols were sold as low as
92i for money, but not below 93 for time,
leaving off 92i to 3 for money, and 93 to 1- for ac-
count. Reduced Threes, 93 to Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 94 to k. Long Annuities, 9to
1-16. Exchequer Bills for June, 425. to 455. pre-
mium. India Bonds, 575. to 596. premium. Bank
Stock, 194 to 6. India Stock, 244 to 6.

Foreign stocks have been rather offered to-day, but
as little disposition was evinced by dealers to pur-
chase, the quotations were not materially affected.
Danish Five per Cent. scrip of the new loan would
seem to have grown into favour, u it was done at
5 and 6 premium, but where a mall quantity only
may be at market, and it is in the power of parties
or contractors to withhold or deal out supplies at
pleasure, as the new security may take or not with
the public at any given time, the premium may be
little more than nominal after all, since it may evi-
dently be raised or depressed at will, so long as the
mass remains locked up in first or few bands. It did
not transpire that the bargains were many, or of any
special amount, in the scrip the premium of which
has risen so unexpectedly. Danish Threes, without
business, were, as before, 66 to 8. Russian were
bought at 109, but called still 108 to 110. Belgian,
81 to 3. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 50 to 1;
the Fours, 80 to 1. French Three per Cent. Renter
were sold higher at 621; exchange, 25f. 20c. This
price seem so much above the rates brought from
Paris, as to create the suspicion that the bargain
might not be quite so loyal as it gould be, but in-
tended tether for effect or reaction on the Paris
Bourse. Venezuela obtained higher rates at 23 to 5.
Mexican, 261 to 1, as yesterday. Peruvian, 48 to 50.
Brazilian, 82 to 4. Chilian, 95 to 7. New Granada,
171 to f. Ecuador, 31 to 1. Spanish Fives, 171 to
; the Threes, 291 to ; Passive, nto 44. Portu-
guese, 25 to 6.
The following table shows the rates per cent. per
annum of interest yielded by the various securities
cited, at the averasre of the prices which ruled this
day. Where the asterisk is placed, it is to be under-
stood that the rates of dividend on railways are less
the income tax.
