766 Pug glatiat anD Qtit FRIDAY EVENING. STOCKS during the harvest month rise and fall with the barometer. The weather, for the moment, almost supersedes all other sources of interest or of specu lation, and a few such days will do more to bring quotations down than even the best-invented °' intel ligence" from the seat of war. Early in the present week accordingly the general tendency of the market was towards flatness. There were some favourable accounts on Monday reporting that the rain, so in cessant in and round London, had not been ge neral over the country, and that many districts had enjoyed more propitious weather. Under these en couraging statements the market revived to a small extent, but the advance, which hardly exceeded one eighth per cent., was not sustained at the close, the last quotations being 921 93. Next day the depres sion became more marked. The weather appeared more unfavourable, and in addition the demand for money was heavy on the Stock Exchange. The payment of 500,0001. upon the last series of Exchequer Bonds tended to enhance the pressure for loans, and caused stock to be offered on easier terms. Consols for money declined to 921, and for the account to 921. On Wednesday the funds showed still increased heaviness, attributed in some measure to the con tinued demand for money in commercial circles and the consequent sales. In the " house," however, money was obtained at easier rates, the high interest given having brought forward supplies of cash. The Irish banks were stated to have been among the sellers of stock to a considerable amount during the day. Consols opened at 921 j, and ranged down to 921 for money, and 921 for the account. Yesterday the market received a lift through the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that his anticipated Treasury balance would be 41 mil lions in October, and that he should want no more loans. As the day wore on also the weather showed an im provement, and news considered favourable came from abroad. The Moniteur confirmed the report of the evacuation of both principalities by the Czar, while the intelligence from Austria seemed to convey better assurance of co-operation in that quarter than had previously been received. The market, under these influences, gradually advanced from 921 to 931, leaving off, with a firm aspect, fully five-eighths better than on Wednesday. To-day Consols opened at a further advance of per cent., the day being fine. The first quotations were 931 1 for money, and 931 for the account. Prices have, however, since become rather flatter, and were marked before the market closed at 931 a. Bank Stock has been about 1 per cent. higher, at 209 211; and India Stock good at 224 227. India Bonds, ls. pm. Exchequer Bills flat, at Is. dis. to 2s. pin., and the Small Bills have receded to par to 2s. pm. Exchequer Bonds steady, at 081. FOREIGN. There has been little doing in foreign stocks. French Rentes improved about per cent. yesterday, on account of the Moniteur announcements. Peru vians have shown much firmness during the week. Russian Fives were done to day as high as 100. The negotiations for the new Turkish loan have at length been all but completed, through Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, and Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, Dent, and Co. Notwithstanding the present state of the Money Market, a very favourable feeling exists amongst capitalists towards the loan, and there is reason to believe that it will be eminently successful. Nothing has been omitted to render it regular and free from future misconstruction. The " tirman " authorising the loan to be contracted has been signed, and is in possession of the contractors. Subscribers will, therefore, be free from any doubt as to the binding nature of the contract on the Porte. SHARES. The Railway Share Market has been quiet and steady, except in Great Westerns, which 7ell 2 per cent. on Wednesday, in consequence of unfavourable rumours touching the forthcoming dividend. This decline was, however, recovered to-day, the stock having been dealt` i'tit!.TO; pther shares are also i m proved.
