THE tone of the Stock Market throughout the week has been far from buoyant, although no considerable fall in prices is to be marked. After the extensive rise of the previous fortnight, speculators, both Bulls and Bears, were naturally cautious in operation, while the large amount of " bear" accounts still unclosed gave the quotations an upward tendency upon every partial decline. The bond fide operations, it is to be observed, show a considerable predomi nance of sellers, owing to the increasing demand for cash out of doors, and the continued high rates of discount on mercantile paper. This of itself would rapidly depreciate the Consol Market, were it not for incessant supplies of gold, which have come in more freely even than usual during the last ten days. Within that period more than a million sterling is known to have arrived, and the greater portion, it is believed, found its way to the Bank cellars, since the c )ntinental drain has now entirely ceased. To-night's returns are accordingly expected to show a large increase of bullion, and this, with the further belief that addition to the quantity of gold in the Bank chests will tend to lighten the Discount Market, has contributed to keep the funds tolerably steady. Political and warlikerumours seem for the moment to have lost the extrmee influence they lately pos sessed upon 'Change. Stocks have shown much less sensitiveness during the week than for a long time previously. The news published on Monday, that the Russian armies were ordered to retire across the Pruth, sent Consols up barely 1 per cent. The market opened at 901, and closed at 931 94. On Tuesday the Ministerial " explanation " sent prices down again to 831, which was, however, recovered and something more by intelligence of an advance in Paris. On Wednesday the market was very quiet : the extreme of the fluctuation did not exceed per cent. Consols touched 941 and closed at 941. Thursday was marked by greater vacillation : in the morning quotations rose, some idea having got abroad that the Bank directors at their meeting that day might lessen the rate of discount. This not taking place, and a gloomy view prevailing respecting the probable duration of the war, brought on a reaction, and prices, which had reached 941, receded to 93g. To-day there has been little doing, but prices are a shade better. Exchequer Bills are now Is. discount, and the new Exchequer Bonds float at I to i premium. FOREIGN. The speculation in foreign stocks has been very limited, and the quotations present no material alter ation to-day. Notice was given on Tuesday by Messrs. Baring that the half-yearly dividend on the Russian sterling Four•and-a-Half per Cents., which falls due to-morrow (the Ist July), will be duly paid by them as usual. A new project for a Turkish loan is started, which Messrs. Black and Durand have been charged to ne gotiate in London and Paris. It is said that these gentlemen are unrestricted as to the terms upon which they are to make the loan, and will be guided by the state of public feeling, and the magnanimity of capitalists. Austrian, Prussian, and Russian loans are inviting the acceptance of capitalists in all the markets of Europe. At present there seems little chance of their entrapping much English money, except, per haps, indirectly. RAILWAYS. Thursday was the half-monthly account-day in shares, and the account was known to be considera bly " bullish." Business, therefore, was active, and prices improved, especially in the leading lines of which stock was scarce. At the close on that day Caledonian shares were 10s. higher; Edinburgh and SATURDAY, Glasgow, IL; Great Northern, 10s.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 155.; Brighton, 10s.; North-Western, 11. 15s. ; Manchester and Sheffield, 10s.; Midland, 11.; North British, 10s.; Oxford and Worcester, 11.; Scottish Central, 11.; South-Eastern, 10s.; York and Newcastle, E. ; and York and North Midland, 21. To-day the Shard Market has been very firm, aided by considerable investments on the part of the pub lic, and favourable anticipations of the forthcoming dividends. BRITISH FUNDS.
