MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On eamaz.

The stock markets are extremely heavy to day,
and prices show an important fall, in consequence
of the further reduction of nearly per cent. in
the French funds yesterday, and the announce-
ment in the lifliwrial Diplanatiorie that
" Prussia is determined not to evacuate
Luxemburg under any circumstances." Many
of the members of the Stock Exchange being
away from the City, the transactions are
not very numerous, but they consist almost
exclusively of sales. So sensitive is the
condition of most of the departments, that
the receipt of any further adverse intelligence
from abroad with respect to the Luxemburg
question would probably cause a panic. Nome
of the dealers show a great disinclination
to enter into fresh operations, especially as
the " house " will be dosed on Monday. The
reduction in Consols does not exceed to 4 per
cent., but foreign securities exhibit a decline
ranging from kto 2. The chief movement is in
Italian bonds of 1861, owing partly to sales on
orders from the Continent. Several of the British
railway stocks are it to 1 per cent. lower, and
United States G-20 Bonds have fallen 1
The discount market is quiet, with few transac-
tions, and the rates for choice bills are without
variation.

90 7-16 to 9-16, or 90} for the account (May

89k.

hien scrip, 1 ; Greek, 1 ; Turkish of 1865, 1;
