FRIDAY EVENING. AT the beginning of the week Consols opened at from 91} to 92%, and have closed to-day at 91f to 911, both for money and time. But in the interme diate days there has been some fluctuation, amount ing on one occasion to per cent. This was caused by an announcement in the Government organ that one reason why Parliament was summoned to meet before the usual period was the necessity that existed for contracting a loan to carry on the war with vigour. This announcement was the next day contradicted on " unquestionable authority " in the same journal, and the funds slightly recovered. But vast mischief is wrought by these statements, which are either put forth with levity, or else emanate from a Government which does not continue in the same mind for twenty-four hours on a question of great notional importance. The fluctuations in the Stocks and Share Market during the past month have been unusually eaten- sive. SATIIRDAY4 In Consols the difference between the highest and lowest price has amounted 4i per cent. The result of the month's transactions established a fall of 2} per cent. In the Railway Market, also, the fluctuations have been considerable ; but for this the state of the funds fully accounts. New Three per Cents. are I higher than Three per Cent. Reduced, because they are guaranteed against reduction for twenty years. The settling day in Con sols for the January account has been changed from the 17th to the 10th, it being the wish of the com mittee of the Stock Exchange that the Consol settle ment should take place as nearly as possible at in tervals of a month, and also that it should be between the sth and 10th, in order not to clash with the share settlement at the middle and end of each month. The Corn Market shows a downward tendency, sales having been effected at slightly lower rates. Importations of flour are said to be expected from the United States. In the manufacturing districts the markets are with some exceptions dull, and a few failures, none of them for large amounts, have occurred. Failures are also reported in the United States. The concession of the State railways of Austria to a French association, consisting of the Credit Mo. biller Bank, and others, is postponed until the sth of December, on which day the project will, if not defi nitively settled, fall to the ground. The amount to be paid is 24,000,000/. sterling, and political con siderations have intervened to prevent the transfer of such a large sum to Austria whilst she retains her attitude of ambiguity at the present crisis. On the 16th of December 15 per cent. will become due on the second issue of 1,000,0001. Turkish Bonds ; on the same day a similar and final pay ment will be due on the first issue of 2,000,0001. The firman authorises the raising of 5,000,009/. in all ; therefore 2,000,000/. more may yet be brought into the market, but the lowest amount for which it will be offered is said to be 90, and there is no in tention of introducing it at present. These securities have been as low as 0 dis.; yet, notwithstanding the great range of fluctuations, the differences at the settlement were adjusted quietly if not without dif ficulty. The rates of interest have advanced, and are now from 41 to 51 1 per cent., according to the time bills have to run. Two considerable arrivals of bullion have taken place during the week. On Tuesday the Arabia brought 256,0001. from New York, ana yesterday the Magdalena reached Southampton with the Pacific and West India mails,,and over two million dollars in freight, of which a small portion (less than 4.0,000) on account of the Mexican dividends. Exchequer Bills are 3s. to ss. premium, Exchequer Bonds 991. FOREIGN FUNDS. At Vienna there has been a sudden rise, occasioned by a belief that a favourable change in political affairs had occurred. At Paris Three per Cent. Rentes have risen nearly one per cent. after the recent fall. In prices, Five per Cents. are quoted 97. Turkish Bonds closed at about 8 dis. SHARES. Railway Stock fell generally in the early part of the week; to day, however, there was a tendency towards recovering. The following are amongst the latest quotations this evening :—Aberdeens are 55. dia., Eastern Counties, 1 firmer, Great Northern A Stock firm at 74. Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 7s. 6d. higher. Lo on and Brighton firm at 105. London and North Western about I flatter. Midlands steady at 67. North Easterns and Berwicks have fallen 11. South. Easterns, 57.
