THE publication of the quarterly revenue account has been the financial event of the week, for which all speculation lay in abeyance. In the slackness of operations, however, the market underwent a depress ing infinence, and prices continued to droop. On Mon day the telegraphic despatch announcing the determi nation of the Emperor Nicholas to fight "to the last rouble and the last man," although considered very apo cryphal, contributed to enhance the prevailing heavi ness of stocks, and prices declined from 931 to 93 in con sequence. Late in the day the quotations rallied to 931. Throughout Tuesday the market continued to be languid, but without exhibiting any marked de cline ; and on Wednesday the sensitiveness of the Stock Exchange was exemplified by the fact that Consols went down 1 per cent. upon the announce ment that two steam-frigates belonging to Admiral Dundes squadron had got aground at the mouth of the Danube. The quarterly balance-sheet which came out next morning added a new impulse to the fall. Consols then . settled down to 921 93 , the last official quota.• Lion being 931 for the opening on the 19th inst. During the morning speculators had been encouraged by a rumour that the Bank directors at the usual monthly meeting would lower the rate of discount on commercial paper. The meeting in the Bank par lour, however, broke up without any change being agreed upon, excepting that a resolution was passed equalising the rates upon country discounts, which had stood et a minimum of 52 per cent., to the THE PRESS. London scale. All paper is accordingly now d counted at a uniform minimum rate of 5i per cen When the result transpired the general gloom ini creased; while the demand for money, incidental to the deliveries of stock, usual on the first transfer day after the shutting for the dividend, furnished another cause for depreciation. The decline during the day amounted to full per cent, and, though this was partially recovered, prices closed at per cent. beneath the opening quotations. To-day the Stock Market has ruled heavily, owing partly to the continued unfavourable weather, and Consols have been alternately buyers and sellers at 93. They left off at 92i. According to the official statement, a sum of 883,1031. is applicable this quarter to the reduction of the national debt, being a fourth part of the sur plus for the year. Purchases on this account have been generally looked to in the City upon every quarter as a source of animation to the market. in the present state of the revenue and expenditure, however, the whole amount will be absorbed in meet ing deficiency bills. Several commercial failures have been announced during the week. The stoppage of one firm trading as East India and colonial brokers was reported on Wednesday, with liabilities said to exceed 80,000 L Other disasters are apprehended, and much uneasi ness prevails among trading circles at the present aspect of affairs. 207 9 ti- - 'ff. IP FOREIGN. In foreign stocks there is little change to notice. The market has been heavier, on the whole, than in British securities. Some fluctuation occurred early in the week in Spanish, owing to reports of insurrec tion, but the effect was less considerable than might have been anticipated, and soon passed over. Rus sian stock continues surprisingly firm, the Fives being quoted to-day at 99 to 101. The terms of the new Austrian Patriotic Loan are now known. The amount will be for either 350,000,000 or 500,000,000 florins (equal to 35,000,0001. or 50,000,0000, according as the sub scriptions may be found to approach nearest to these sums. The loan will be issued in series, and the in stalments will extend over three, four, and Ave years. It will bear interest at 5 per cent., and the price of subscription has been fixed at 95. With regard to the new Turkish loan for 5,000,0001. sterling, the negotiations proceed very satisfactorily, and it is understood that it will come out with the joint guarantee of France and England on terms which will ensure its ready acceptance from the capitalists of both countries.
