MONEY MARKET.

THE English market has continued the even tenor of its way
with but trifling interruption. The brokers spent many dull
days at the end of March; very few transfers of three per cent.
Consols having been effected at steady rates ranging at from
963/8 to 3/4. The news of a fall in funds in the United States, and
afterwards in Paris, at the beginning of April, caused a slight
depression; but this was soon recovered. There has been more
activity in the Foreign House. The last new Portuguese revolution
sunk the low rates of Portuguese funds still lower; whilst the
arrival of an order for two and a half millions of dollars payable
in 1852, on account of the Mexican debt, put the Mexican bond-
holders in spirits, and the prices of that stock went up.

The mania for speculation in Railway Shares (in consequence of
the enormous traffic expected on railways) rose to its height in
the first week in April, when from 8 to 20 per cent, was paid by
holders to have their accounts carried over till the middle of
April. At the same time, so abundant was money, that only
from 1 to 2 per cent could be obtained for loans on Consols!
Railway speculation, however, received an early check, and the
market is assuming a healthier tone.
