MARK-I.ANE suffered from a panic on Monday, and, as the natural consequence, the Consol Market was exceedingly buoyant. Prices had left off firm on Saturday, with a slight improvement upon the pre vious quotations ; and when it transpired on Monday morning that wheat had fallen nearly 10s.per quarter there was an immediate and considerable advance in all the public securities. Consols had stood at 94* when business ended last week, but opened at 041, and rapidly rose to 941, other stocks improving in almost equal proportion. The advance was aided by a continuance of splen did harvest weather, and proceeded, without a cheek, during Tuesday and Wednesday. The crops throughout a large section of the United Kingdom were then deemed safe and prosperous, and the resulting consequences to the country, in a money point of view, must be estimated at an enormous amount on either s id e. To the producer the enhanced quantity will have added a valve of perhaps fifteen millions to his possessions. To the consumer the diminished price would save thirty millions in his expenditure. And the happy escape from the neces sity of buying wheat abroad, or at all events of buy ing so much, promises to relieve the Money Market from that constant drain of bullion which in less fruitful years has so frequently involved commerce and speculation alike in terrible disasters. With this dread removed, the Discount Market became easier, and cash was readily procurable, at lower rates, both on the Stock Exchange and for commer cial paper. It was believed in some quarters that the Bank directors would speedily lower their rate of discount. Some parties even expected th at a resolution to that effect would be passed at Thurs day's meeting; and in Lombard-street first•class bills were already cashed under the Bank rates. During these two days Consols successively advanced, on Tuesday to 954 4, and on Wednesday to 951. For the account on that day the closing prices were 951 8. The total rise since that day week was close upon two per cent. Yesterday a reaction set in. Large sales were made to realise profits or cover speculative purchases. No reduction of discount was agreed upon in the Bank parlour, and the announcement that Bomar. sund was to be blown up and abandoned proved that there was no truth in the reported junction of Sweden with the allied powers. Another cause of depreciation was found in the absence of news from Turkey respecting the expedition to the Crimea. Since the easy capture of Bomarsund, the fall of Sebastopol was considered so much a matter of course that the event was already " discounted " upon the Stock Exchange. As time went on, there fore, and it became more and more uncertain that the place would be attacked this year, the conse quences upon the market were almost equivalent to those of an actual deficit. Altogether the quotations drooped nearly 1 per cent., the last prices being 95 to for money, and 954 4 for the account of the 13th. At the opening to-day there was a slight rally, Consols being done at 954 1 for present transfer, but the market soon became heavy again, and closed at a further fall of a quarter per cent. The last quotations were :--Consols 941, b. Reduced had fallen from 951 to 95, and the Three and a Quarter per Cents. from 96 to 951. Exchequer Bills are 2s. to 4s. prem. Exchequer Bonds of 1859, 981. Bank Stock, 209 211. South Sea Stock, 115. The third instalment of 20 per cent. on the A series of Exchequer Bonds will fall due next week (on the Bth inst.), and absorb 400,0001. Some large parcels of specie and bullion have arrived. The A tra to has brought 325,0001. from the Pacific, the Atlantic 140,0001. from New York, and the Essex, from Melbourne, has landed gold-dust worth 180 to 200,0001. FOREIGN. The principal movements in the foreign stocks have been those of the new Turkish scrip, which has os cillated considerably during the week. The lowest quotations, those of Tuesday, were 51 premium. Since then the market has improved for these secu rities, which have been firm to-day at oto prem. Other foreign stocks are buoyant. Russian Fives were 1 per cent. higher this afternoon, reaching 100 to 102. Spanish Three per Cents. were 38 I. Mexicans, 241 5. RAILWAYS. Railway shares have participated in the liveliness of the Consol Market, and most of the I,nes are com manding a better price. On Tuesday the fortnightly settlement came off, and showed the consequences of the large Bear operations that had taken place last week when the unfavourable dividend rumours ob tained currency, by leading to a marked scarcity of stock, with a concurrent rise in prices. Great Western and Great Northern stocks were especially wanted, and from one-eighth to three-eighths were demanded and given as " backwardation," in order - I r
