THE intelligence of the fall of Bornarsund led to a rise of some extent in the Stock Market on Satur day afternoon. The occurrence was not considered to p •omise any earlier termination of the war, but was accepted with gratification, as being the first event approaching to an achievement which had crowned the efforts of the allied forces since the commence ment of hostilities. Business was inactive, notwith standing ; but the quotations improved from 941 to 941 for transfer, and were a shade better than that for the account of the 13th September. During the current week the market has shown constant inactivity. This has been caused partly by the absence of any particular news, and partly by the absence of dealers and brokers, who are now holiday-making out of town. Speculation has accordingly been unusually dull, the general ten dency of prices being downwards, although no marked fall in the quotations is to be recorded. The ruling rates were:—Monday, 941 ; Tuesday, 911; Wednesday, 9411; Thursday, 941 1. To-day's prices have remained without movement, and are called at 94 to for money, and 041 1 for account. Re duced Threes were 94 to 041, and the Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. 941 to 941. Owing to the greater ease of the Money Market, Exchequer Bills main tained improved quotations of par to 2s. prem. India Bonds, par to ss. prem. Bank Stock, 208 210. India S ock, 225 230. Money continues easier. On Wednesday the abundance of cash was practically testified by an announcement from the Lombard-street discount houses reducing to ♦ per cent. the interest for money left with them on " call." There has been an absence this week of any gold arrivals from Australia, although a large number of ships from Port Jackson and Port Phillip are overdue. FOREIGN. The Turkish loan came out on Wednesday, and is now quoted upon the authorised list of foreign securities. Considerable transactions have been made in it at a fair premium. The first quotations ranged as high as 7to 74 premium. Sales to realise profits afterwards brought prices down, though they continue to be well supported, having never gone below 6. To-day the quotations have ranged between 6 and Of premium. It is understood that every holder of 1,000/. of the present stock will be entitled to receive 5001. of the nmxt is-ue at par, viz., 80/., so that a person now purchasing at (i 4 premium will, supposing he takes up the additional stock to which he will become entitled, pay a premium of only 4}, which will make a material difference in the value of the stock to large holders. Other foreip stocks are much neglected. Swedish improved this morning 1 per cent., from rumours that the Government of that country showed a better dis position*wards the Western powers. Spanish are flatter, and have gone clown from 37 to 364. Austria a'ppears to have been quite successful with its national loan, the subscriptions having already amounted to 4014 million florins, and by the end of the month will probably reach 500 millions (about 41,7(X,0001.) RAILWAY SHARES. Transactions in the Share Market have been very limited. In Brightens on Tuesday there was a fall of 11. per share, in consequence of the accident on I the previous day, which, it was expected, would entail serious claims on the company for compensation on account of injuries. To-day there has been a little more activity among the dealers, and the tone of the market generally is firmer: Caledonians have im proved to 634, Lancashire and Yoricshire to 694. North-Westerns were dealt in at 1044, but left off lower; Midlands, 684 ; Berwicks, 10s, higher than yesterday; Yorks flat, at 54i 55; Eastern Counties a shade lower, at 111; South-Westerns have improved 10s. Foreign shares have been less buoyant. BRITISH FUNDS. Closing Prices. OFFICIAL QUOTATION. Wed.

CORN-EXCHANGE —The arrivals of old English wheat up to our market this week have been very limited. They have mostly changed hands at a decline in the quotations of 20 per quarter. Nearly bOO quarters of new have appeared in but middling condition. Prices have varied from Ws t 70s per quarter. All foreign wheats have met a slow sale, a t $ further tall in value of 2e per quarter. Floating cargoes have been much neglected. New English barley has come to band, but most of the samples have been only tit for grinding purposes. Sales have been made at last week's currency. Mali has moved oil' chiefly in retail, on former terms. Although the receipts of oats have been comparatively limited the oat trade has con tinued heavy, and prices have bad a downward tendency. Both beans and peas have given way in price. The float trade has been dull, yet we have very little change to notice fa the quota thaw. New rye has produced 3sa to 40,1 per quarter.
