THE PRESS. rout( 'Markt IFILIDAY EVENIN4). THE funds during the week have been sithjeete.l to eolptiderable thtetttations, the CXIIVITIO plit'es biting varied from U 5 to OM. The cause of the decline is to be attributed partly to the supply of stock which the price of tlse brought to market, partly to the aceount being got over, and also to the declaration of war against. Turkey by Russia when many were expecting a pa cific solution of their differences. Another reason may be assigned for this flatness—vii., that gold is again being exported to the Continent, but not at present in sufficient quantities to justify tmeasiness, as we believe that, on balance, the imports of bullion exceed the exports ; and the intelligenee from Aus tralia and California is most satisfitetory, so far as the abundance of gold is concerned. The exports from California alone will exceed eleven millions sterling this year. Thu settlement of the Consol account, however, proves that a great scarcity of stock still exists, a premium, varying from 1-10 to 11, having been given for the loan of stock in very considerable quantities. So long as this scarcity of stock exists, and the demand on the part of the public continues, uo very considerable depreciation in the price of Consols can be expected. The position of the Bank of England is also con• siderubly improved, as may be gathered front the fact of the Bank taking up stock this account to the extent of about 900,000/., which she had previously lent in the market, and which might have been again lent at a premium. We infer from this that the Bank has greatly im proved in position, and it is quite certain that very few bills of exchange can now be sent in for discount at 5 per cent., when the rate of discount in Lum bard-street does not exceed 4i to per cent. on good paper. We expect shortly to see a rapid diminution in the amount of private securities held by the Bank ; and were it not for the frer of large Unportations of foreign corn, which induces the utmost caution on the part of the Bank and bankers, it would be im possible to maintain the rote of money at 5 per cent. _ _ Exchequer Bilk remain at a premium of from to ss. As we anticipated, very few of the South Sea dis sentients have availed themselves of the offers of (ioveniment to discount their claims at 4 per cent. As this stock is mostly held by trustees, we should almost question their power to pay a discount ; and, in the event of Consols being lower in January than at present, how are they to be indemnified from any claim being made to them for time difference ? Consols opened this morning at 1)41, but, on the Russian declaration of war against Turkey appearing, the market has receded to 931 4, at which puce Con sols closed. Money is very abundant in the Stock Exchange, and in Lombard-street the brokers decline to allow more than 4 per cent. on call, and many will not give that rate f..r a shorter period than a month. The Bank broker sold 100,0001. Consols to-day for money, which has tended to depress the market. %%Melt leaves off this afternoon with a liett‘y up peaninee. The exchanges are rather lower.
