MONEY MARKET The stock market during the week has not improved, still there has been some fluctuation. On Friday there was a fair amount of business done; Consols, for money, 91a to l Notwithstanding the favourable character of the Bank return, showing another considerable increase in bullion on the fall of the heavy payment of coin on government ac- count usual at the end of the quarter, the funds on Saturday lost the symptoms of returning firmness exhibited in the middle of the week, and the market continued dull during the day. On Monday the funds continued to drop. owing to the doubtful aspect of continental politics. On Tuesday the uncertain tone of all the letters from financial persons on the Continent, and the total absence of any symptons of ft healthy rebound on the Paris Bourse, caused the lliglish fund* to manifest increasing heaviness, although all our considerations, and especially the accounts from America, were in favour of the market. Consols opened at 91 f to a fractional decline, and returned to that price, after having at one moment touched 95. For the 9th of May the final bargains were at 91 J. The intelligence from Holsttin of the unfavourable report of the Committee of the Estates as to the character of the concessions made by Denmark re- garding the votiru of the Budget, was among the causes which increased the prevailing dullness On Wednesday there was no change of importance. No change has taken place in the price of stocks. The quotations are—Indian Stock, 220 to 222; India Scrip. 100h to i India Bonds, 30s to 203 discount Exchequer Bills, 7s to 3s discount The demand in the discount market on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, was moderate the general rate being from 5j to 5 per cent., with occasional transactions on Tuesday at even a lower rate. The payment of dividends commenced at the Bank of England on Tuesday, aud there was great ease in the discount-market, transactions having taken place at 5J per cent. Iu the Stock-Exchange loans were offered at 4! to 5 per cent. No alteration in the Bank rate is expecte i to be made this week, but an impression is general that a further reduction will not be long delayed. PRICES OF ENGLISH STOCKS. Fri. Sat. Alon Tu.
