Tae Consol Market opened quietly on Monday, dealers holding back for the day, in anticipation of the budget speech. Quotations were accordingly dull for some hours, but ultimately, and in the absence of any serious speculation, the prevailing scarcity of stock exercised a certain influence over prices, which improved by nearly 4 per cent. before the close, namely, from 904 to 91, at which they left off, both for money and account. Exchequer Bills stood at 12s. to 17s. prem. On Tuesday the tenor of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech, and especially his announce ment that there would be no creation of new stock, at all events for the present, caused considerable relief to the market, and English stock of every description showed much buoyancy. Prices ad vanced 4 per cent., and remained very firm for some time. The subsequent announcement, however, of the new French loan for 10,000,0001., on some large sales being made, caused a reaction, but the market afterwards rallied, and became even better. The improvement, nevertheless, was not finally main tained, as the telegraphic reports late in the after noon were unfavourable. The market for the unfunded securities was necessarily fiat by reason of the new issue of Ex chequer Bills, and the quotation was almost nominal at 12s. to 10s. prem. Wednesday brought rumours of a heavy defeat of the Turks and capture of Kalafat, which, though unauthenticated, exerted some depreciating influence, and Consols receded to 904. Late in the day the re port in question became discredited and the market rallied slightly. The tone of business improved during Thursday, and Consols were done at 914 early in the day, and stock was scarce. Afterwards some large parcels were brought forward for sale, which occasioned a decline of 4, but this was partially recovered before the business terminated. Yesterday the market was even more apathetic than earlier in the week, caused partly by the absence of any stirring intelligence from the Continent, and partly by the approach of settling-day. Consols were done at about tho prices of the previous day, 91 to 4. The books for New Three.snd-a-Quarter per Cents., Three per Cent. Reduced, Bank Stock, and Annui ties, were shut. Exchequer Bills remained without change at 12s. to les. pm. There has been an unusual deficiency in the specie arrivals lately, no vessels having reached from Australia for some time ; and, the present rate of exchange leaving no profit on remittances from America, we are not likely to receive supplies from thence. Some Russian payments are now, owing to the disorganised state of trade with that country, made in gold to London ; but, on the other hand, the French exchanges are heavily against us, and the drain of specie in that quarter far exceeds the supply from St. Petersburg. On several days during the week the shipments of gold to France have been from 100,0001. to 150,0001. The consideration of the Bank dividend for the past half year will take place at a general court of the proprietors to be held on Thursday, the 14th instant. FOREIGN FUNDS. The Foreign Market has been almost inanimate during the week. The heavy tall in Russian stock which took place last week resulted, according to custom, in a partial reaction, prices of the Four-and a-half Bonds improving nearly Oro per cent. on Monday. Since this, however, all the Russian stock has dropped again, and left off last evening at 814 2. Spanish have also suffered, in nonce of the unpleasant political rumours whi e eti l te followed the abortive attempt at insurrectiod, The announce ment of the new French loan of ten millions has been received in the City with tolerable favour, and will attract a fair share of subscribers. Austria has also promulgated the scheme of a loan for Ave ,- .a.i a °_..a.
