      ? Money Market And City Intelligence. Fr...

      ? MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday . There has been but little variation in the English Funds this week . If anything , there has been a gradual declension ; and , as compared with last week , the prices quoted may be said to average about a quarter per cent , less The market has been quiet as well as steady . On Monday , for a while , it had rather a firmer tone , and some few transactions in Consols took place at an improvement of about one-eighth per cent , on Saturday s prices But on Tuesday there was an evident depression all day , and the quotations suffered very sensibly , owing m n i « to the fall of French Rentes , occasioned by the

      result of the Paris election , the strong ultra-democratic demonstration of that event having had an alarming effect upon the Bourse . Wednesday , being the 1 st of May , was a holiday at the Stock Exchange , and , consequently , there was nothing doing in a regular way but the French news continuing to create excitement , there was an anxious feeling among the usual frequenters of 'Change , and business was transacted in Consols at several of the coffeehouses in the neighbourhood at a reduction of about onequarter per cent , upon the prices of the previous day . Yesterday , however , there was , from the first opening of extentthe tone

      the market , a reaction to a trifling — was firmer , and there was a slight tendency to advance , in consequence , as was believed , of a sudden improvement in the French funds . It was evident , indeed , that the " Bear" speculators had failed to make good the deficiencies occasioned by the depressing influences they had set in operation as the effect of the Paris election . Consols were done at 95 | for money , and 96 for account ; Reduced Three per Cents ., 945 2 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 96 f to 97 £ ; Long Annuities , 8 * to 316 ; Bank Stock , 2064 to 207 ; India Bonds , 92 to 95 prem . ; Exchequer Bills were done at 68 to 70 prem . at the bfpinning of the week ; but yesterday they declined to 67 69 prem .

      In Foreign Stocks there has been nothing of much consequence doing . Yesterday , in the early part of the day , there was scarcely so much firmness as during the two fir >* t days of the week , though as the day advanced a slight improvement was manifest . There has been little or no actual change in the quotations of the principal securi . ies . Peruvian Bonds have been done at 70 ; and Deferred at 30 ; Mexican , 28 J ; Portuguese Five per Cents ., 85 k ; Ditto Four per Cents ., 37 |; Spanish Five per Cent-., 17 * ; Ditto Three per Cents , 37 ; Russian Four-and-a-Haif per Cents ., 954 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 964 ex div . ; Dutch Two-and-a-Haif per Cents ., 55 i } .

      The subject of Spanish Stocks is now creating an anxious interest among its holders on several of the continental Bourses . Public meetings have been ca led in Paris and Amsterdam , going beyond the example of what has recently taken place in London , where no direct appeal has yet ( to the suspicion of many ) been made to the landholders at lar « e . The influence of these movements , however , i « expected to be felt in our own capital , where nothing further has yet transpired on the subject . The price of gold in Paris has remamfd the same as in London , the premium being 16 per mille , and the exchange at short , 25 55 . On . Hamburg it is 0 11 per cent , dearer than in London .

      There is a difference of opinion prevailing as to the general rate of money interest during the past month . It has been stated on a sort of semi-official authority , the bankers have been able to make lodgments on call at about IJ per cent . ; but it is well known that large amounts could not , without great difficulty , be placed out at the rate of 14 per cent . There has been almost less fluctuation than usual in Railway Shares . On Tuesday they were scarcely so firm as on the nrecedino : day , the following being the most

      prominent quotations : London and North Western , 100 $ to 1014 ; Midland , 31 to 2 ; York , Newcastle , and Berwick , 114 to 12 ; Great Western , 50 to 1 ; London and South Western , 57 * to 84 ; Great Northern , 164 to 16 dig . ; South Eastern and Dover , 13 to 4 ; Eastern Counties , 6 J to 74 ; Reading , Guilford , and Reigate , 14 | to 15 fr ; Caledonian , 7 J . Yesterday the market was quite steady . It appears that calls to the amount of five millions sterling have yet to be made this year , which has a depressing effect .

      The Foreign Produce Market has not presented any change , on the whole . There has been a slightly improved demand for Borne descriptions of Colonial produce , but prices have undergone little or no improvement . The Corn-trade has been rather better . On Monday , in Mark-lane , prices were looking up , and some superior descriptions of wheat realized an advance of a shilling a quarter . This improvement has been maintained in most of the principal markets during the week .

      In the manufacturing districts of Lancashire , a slight Advance has taken place in most of the fabrics into which cotton enters , occasioned by the growing apprehensions of a scarcity of the raw material , the supplies from America continuing to fall off . But this has caused no improvement in wages , the demand has been tolerably good , with little or no disposition to limit purchases on account of this advance , the opinion being general that goods will be still higher . The Yorkshire markets have not been similarly affected . The trade in wool is heavy and declining , but woollen fabrics and yarns have main tained their price , though , upon the whole , but a limited extent of business has been done .
