MAY 28, 1853. Commutial. CITY, Friday. Consols have fluctuated during the past week with the fluctuating tenor of the intelligence from abroad, and especially from Constantinople. Little faith has indeed been placed, even upon 'Change in the frequent ports m ar, rerts of intemted relationship, and of apprehed w arising out of the Turkish question, and the refusal of the Russian st/titnateet by the Porte. Nevertheless, there is no deny ing the impression that the "situation" has become critical, and the result has been to induce a general heaviness in the markets, and a prevailing reluctance to ispecithition, even in stooks whose quotations have not declined to any noticeable degree. Three per Cent. Consols, which opened this morning at 1001 f, are quoted since at 1001 1, for money and time ; Exchequer Bills continue to be depressed. barely reaching par to ls..premitun ; Reduced 3 per Conti. have drooped to 99 1 f ; New St are as low as 102 ; Bank Stock, 229 30 ; South Sea Annuities (New), 100 ; Ditto Stock, 1 15 8 . Thhhe total failure of the Government scheme of convey aioa appears to be now decided. The gross amount of acceptances is still lamentably small, being much under three millions sterling, of which by far the greater propor es. tien Is in the new T wo and a half per Cent. Stock. y terday the proprietors of the South Sea Company agreed unanimously to take money instead of any of the new stocks for an odd sum of 4050001., constituting a portion of their reserved fund—a course which it is presumed they will also follow with regard to the more important amount of 8000,000/., forming their capital stock.. Cambridge University has also declined to " convert" the 04,000/. vested in trustees on account of the Fitzwilliam Museum. The foreign funds of have been more affected by the un flemurable aspect *Akira than the home securities. To-day's market has been languid, and business continues to be very limited. Mexicans have been done at 24, and Sardinians at 9sl to f; Brazilians are quoted at 100 st ; Dutch (21) at 651 64 ; Peruvians, 8 . 2 4 ; Spanish Threes, 481 9 ; and Portuguese Fives, 384 94 ; bat the quotations are little more than nominal. At the annual meeting of the proprietors of the lonian Rank, held yesterday, tho report stated that losses incurred in the Archipelago, in consequence of the failure of the curran d i videndad reduced the profits to about 9,4001. ; the usual at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, was, however, declared. Railway shares were rather lively to-day, and some ex tensive purchases, apparently for investments, have in some instances improved the quotations. 'f he closing prices will be found in the subjoined list. More business has been done in the Gold Mine Share Market, and the tendency of prices has been rather to Iw. prove. Land Shares are still depressed, with the exception of the North British and Scottish Australian Investment, whit* ere steady. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. Tumefy, May 24.

LONDON CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—Wheat, English, firm at Monday's prices. Foreign had a more general demand to town millers and country buyers. An advance of Is. per qr. was generally demanded ; the trade wears a firm appearance. Floating eargoes, off the coast, are nearly all sold. For those on passage wore money is demanded. which checks business. Barley firm and rather dearer. Bye in request at a further improvement of tld. to Is. per qr. for the Continent. SMITHFIELD MARKET, FamAy.—The supply of beasts on sale here today was seasonably good, both as to number and quality. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, at. Monday's decline in the quotations. The general top figure for beef was 4s. 4d. per tl lb. With sheep we were fairly supplied. On the whole the mutton trade was steady, at unaltered currencies. The primest old 1/6wils realised 4s. Bd. per /41b. There was an improved sale for lambs, at full prices ; viz., s. to 6s. 4d. per 8 lb. The sup. ply of calves being large, the veal trade waft less active, hut uo change took place in value. Pigs sold slowly, at barely late rates. Mulch cows were in steady request, at from 171. 1! s. to WI. each, including their small calf. PRICES CURRENT. BRITISH QUO lois. I iilii iTund.l ired. 3 per Cent.
