MONEY MARKET.

The close of last month, and nearly the whole of this, has
been a dull time on the Stock Exchange. The small majority
on D'lsraeli's motion scarcely ruffled this smooth state of things.
On the 14th, Consols for Money fell no more than from 961/2 to
961/8; but before the close of the business on that day, they rose
again to their former prices. The great majority against
ministers on Locke King's motion, and their actual resignation,
scarcely put life into the pulse of the Money Market;— Consols,
at the opening of business, just touched 957/8, and then rebounded,
on the 24th, to 961/8; which they have since maintained.

Money was so abundant at the beginning of the month, that
2 per cent, per annum was got with difficulty for short loans
on ordinary securities. On the 13th, however, cash became
scarcer, and 4 per cent, was given, the day after, on Consols as
security. The Bank did not alter its rate of discount.

The Foreign Share and Railway Markets have partaken of
the characteristics of the Consol Market. The only event in
the latter worth recording, is the unpleasant announcement of
"no dividend " for the holders of Eastern Counties' shares.
