REVIEW of the MONEY-MARKET

DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, 1848.
(From the Banters' Magazine.)
The general aspect of monetary affairs during the past
month has been of a satisfactory character. Notwith-
standing the extraordinary events which have followed
each other with such rapidity on the Continent, the
Funds have undergone a gradual improvement, and, to-
wards the close of the month, have reached a higher
price than they have attained to since tile breaking out
of „the French Revolution. The French Funds also
appear to have overcome the panio which naturally de.
pressed them on the overthrow of the old regime, and
they also are higher than they have been at any time
since Februlry.
Although these decisive indications of greater confi
deuce has been very apparent, it is well known to all our
readers that the political events of the past month hays
been altogether more exciting than any that have oc.
curred since the great event which deprived Louis
Philippe of his throne. The Emperor 0 Austria ha,
fled from (and returned to) his cap:tal ; the Pope has
been virtually deposed ; the King of Naples has mas-
sacred his people, in order to retain his authority ; and
a counter revolution has been commenced, carried out.
and temporarily put down in Paris--all within the space
of a month. We need not refer to the extensive pre-
paration made in this country, although apparently not
generally understood and appreciated, for organising, a
" League" against the present system of government,'
which before long will doubtless unseat the existing Mi-
nistry. All these important events have occurred, and
and yet the public funds have improved, and within the
last week of the month have reached a higher price
than they had attained since the revolution. Under
other circumstances, any of the occurrences we have
named would have produced a serious tall in the funds ;
but our capitalists now hppear to
have become so much
habituated to the excitement of politioril events that they
are unaffected by circumstances which a few months
since would have been regarded with the utmost con-
sternation.

The steady improvement in the funds may be in part
accounted for by the well-known fact, that many exten-
sive sales were made in anticipation of a fill in prices;
and the jobbers are purchasing
at present rates in pre-
ference to risking the serious loss they must sustain, if
the quotations continued to advance, and they were left
without stock on hand with which to fulfil their engage-
ments.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has taken advantage
of the existing state of the money market, to announce
that the Exchequer-bills to be issued in Juno will bear
the reduced rate of interest of 2d. per cent. per diem, in
place of the present rate of 3d.
The improvement which has taken place in Consols
during the past month, will be seen from the following
comparison of the closing prices at the dates specified:—
At 26th April. At 26th May.
