      Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday . There have been extensive operations in the Home Funds this week , but prices have not ranged very differently from those of last week , notwithstanding the excitement which has still prevailed to some extent respecting our relations with France . We noticed in our edition of Saturday that the depression occasioned by the recall of the French Ambassador had then in some measure passed away , and that Consols had improved about i per cent , upon the prices of the day before . The market opened on Monday with the improvement fully sustained , but slight fluctuations occurred throughout

      the day , occasioned by various rumours respecting our differences with the French Government , Consols declining successively at the rate of about £ per cent . On Tuesday they were more buoyant , as the rumours from Paris became more satisfactory , and an advance of about § per cent , occurred , and was maintained to the close . On Wednesday , however , they again declined a fraction , occasioned by the speculators , who had bought at 95 to 95 * during the gloom of Friday , urging sales at 96 and 96 J , being glad to realize a pr < fit of 1 per cent , upon their transactions . Yesterday there vras , from the commencement of Consols realized

      business , a slight improvement again . 96 throughout a great part of the day , but they closed at 95 £ to 95 $ for money and account . This decline was the effect of reports circulated by the Bear speculators , which only obtained , however , a momentary credence . This morning the market is quiet , and rather heavy . The range of quotations during the week in the principal English securities have been as follows : —Consols , 95 to 95 J ; Reduced Three per Cents , 94 £ to 95 ; Threeand-a-quarter per Cents 96 $ to J ; Long Annuities , 84 to i ; Bank Stock , 206 to 207 ; India Stock , 267 to 268 ; Ditto Bonds , 87 s . to 90 s . prem . ; Exchequer Bills , 67 s .

      to 70 s . prem . . A considerable amount of business has been done m Foreign Stocks in the early part of the week , especially in Peruvian , Mexican , Russian , Spanish , and Dutch , at an improvement in prices . With respect to Mexican Bonds , intelligence has been received from Mexico that a project of law is now before the Legislature of the country which would effect an arrangement , affording absolute security to the Bondholders , and which there in all its

      was every reason to believe would be fulfilled parts . The Bondholders are urged to support the project as one eminently calculated to promote their interests , while it would establish the credit of Mexico . These Bonds have been done at 31 to $ ; Peruvians , 77 to J ; "Russian Four-and-aHalf per Cents , 95 & to g ; ditto Scrip , 24 to I prem . ; Spanish Three per Cents ., 37 i to 2 ; ditto Five pnr Cents ., 17 to £ ; Dutch Four per Cents ., 85 to £ ; ditto Two-and-a-Half per Cents , 59 . J to £ ; Brazilian , S 7 i ; Portuguese Four per Cents ., 33 . f .

      The price of gold continues dearer in Paris than in London , the premium being 23 per mille , and the exchange at short 25 05 . At Hamburgh it is the same as in London , the price being 4 35-i , and the exchange 13 10 * . , _ T The state of the foreign Bourses has been much more settled than might have been expected , even that of Paris , where the funds were quite recovered from the depression of last week , occasioned by the

      misunderstanding with England . . There has been a decided improvement in the Railway Share Market this week . Great Westerns have been done at 55 , an advance of fully £ 1 per share ; Brighton , 10 s . higher ; Leeds and Bradford , 10 s . ; Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire , £ 1 ; Midland , Bristol , and Birmingham , 10 s . ; South-Western , 10 s . ; and Oxford , Worcester , and Wolverhampton , 10 s . per share . The business actually done , however , has been limited . The Corn Market has not maintained the advance of last week . It has been dull both in Mark-lane and the

      country , and wheat has declined about 2 a . per quarter . The Produce Market has been in a more active state ; sugar , coffee , rice , and indigo have all been in great request , the last prices of which have been fully maintained , and in some instances advanced upon . Tea is an exception to this improvement . The sales have gone off heavily , at a reduction of 2 d . to 3 d . per lb . on some of the finer descriptions . The markets for manufactures are , upon the whole , dull . In the Manchester market cotton yarns have sold pretty well at prices of a decidedly upward tendency ;

      but this is not considered altogether satisfactory . Calicos have also been in considerable demand for the foreign trade . But the home tnule houses have bought very sparingly , nnd at drooping prices . In the Yorkshire woollen cloth markets there has been a marked depression . Foreign orders , however , keep the mills mostly going full time , though prices arc low . The complaints are mainly confined to the home trade . The wool market is unaltered . 'There is no inclination , " it is observed , " by the manufacturers to purchase more than » hey require fur immediate use . "
