THE Austrian treaty end the rumours relating to its tenor and interpretation on foreign Bourses have swayed the Money Market throughout the week, and led to a gradual and considerable improvement in the quotations. Rumours that some compact had actually been signed between Austria and the 'Western powers obtained currency on Saturday, but were presented in no authentic shape. By Monday, however, it was known that the statement had ap peared officially in the Moniteur, and this confirma tion, aided by the telegraphic messages reporting a rise of 3 to 31 per cent. in the French Rentes during the day, occasioned Consols to advance fulls 3 per cent. Prices which bad left off at 911 on Saturday, closed on Monday at 92e I. On the following day the improvement was still further increased. The market underwent several - - fluctuations natural to a period of uncertainty, but the quotations at one time marked 921 for money, and the speculators for a rise were sanguine in their anticipations of a continued advance, bargains for the January account being done at 93. Wednesday's market exhibited great buoyancy. The belief that all the German powers would ultimately join in the anti-Russian league gained ground generally, and gave a fresh fillip to the quotations, which improved nearly per cent. The price for money touched 931, and closed at 98 to 1. For the January account the last quotations were firm at 931. Yesterday the Stock Exchange was quiet and set tled, the dealers being busy chiefly in settling the month's account in Consols. This operation was satisfactorily accomplished, and showed a rather full supply of stock. Some depression was momentarily caused by the prices of Rentes, coming apparently lower from Paris ; but this was speedily explained by the fact that the quotations were made ex. div., and the English market rallied again. This evening THE PRESS. the uanster cooks were shut in Consuls, which, to. morrow, will have tho dividend taken off. During the day the market has been exceedingly firm. Con sols were last quoted at 921 to 931 for money, and 931 to for the account of January 10. Reduced Three per Cents. left off at 911, and the same quo tation ruled for the New Threes. Exchequer Bonds were 991 1 at the close. Monday being the 4th, the demand for money was active, and the rates o 1 discount for first-class paper were from 41 to 5 per cent. In general the mercan tile acceptances were well met, and cash was some what less tight than on previous occasions. The arrivals of gold have been frequent and large during the week. From New Yi.rk, the America brought 120,0001., and the Atlantic 52,0001., chiefly in dollars. The Indus brought 130,000/. in gold from Alexandria, and the Melbourne 42,000 ounces (worth 188,0001.) and 14,000 sovereigns from Melbourne. Smaller parcels make up a total of more than half a million notified up to this morning. In addition, the Crams is daily expected with 230,0001. mcre in gold dust and specie. FOREIGN. The market for foreign securities has been on the whole animated and firm, though without presenting any remarkable changes. Turkish Scrip still con-- tinues heavy. The quotations were down this after noon to 71 discount. RAILWAY SHARES. The improvement in Consols has been only par tially reflected in the Share Market. Some of the more favourite stocks have advanced slightly, but the tone of speculation was languid, and the im provement has proved comparatively slight and ill supported. This afternoon, prices have ruled as follows :—Aberdeen, 201; Caledonian, 611 1; Chester and Holyhead, 141 ; Eastern Counties, 111 1; Edin burgh and Glasgow, 54; Great Northern, 881 1; Great Western, 7 0i ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 7•ls 321 ; London and Blackwall, 71; London and Brighton, 1051; London and North Western, 901; London and South Western, 82 3 ; Midland, 681 0 h}; North British, 32; North Eastern, Extension, 131 ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 301 301 ; South Eastern, 591 1 ; Hull and Selby, 103 ; Wilts and Somerset, 93.
