THE Consol Market has been in a very depressed and sensitive condition during the past few days. Not withstanding the improved accounts from the Crimea, and a continued influx of gold in large amounts both from Australia and the West, speculation has become languid, and every new rumour from Vienna appears to operate unfavorably upon the quotations. Money, however, continues to be abundant ; the Bank stock of bullion has rapidly increased, and discounts are easily obtained at lower rates. On Saturday last the quotations left off at 934 to for money, and 93i 4 for the account. Monday's prices were somewhat lower, ranging at the close to 93 to 4 for immediate transfer. On Tuesday some large speculation sales threw down the quotations at one time as low as 924, which was only partially re covered towards the termination of business, when prices were marked at 921 4. Wednesday being the Fast-day, was observed as a close holiday on 'Change. Yesterday the market showed more firmness, but there was little animation, and the transactions of the day were neither many nor important. The final prices were 921 4 for money, and 4 higher for account. To day the Consol Market opened weakly, with quotations lower than at yesterday's close. This dullness has continued throughout the whole course of business, the afternoon prices being 924 to 924 for money, and 924 924 for the 11th April. India Bonds, Is. to 14s. Exchequer Bills, Os. to 9s. prem. FOREIGN. The Foreign Market has experienced a general dearth of business. Prices on the whole have been well supported. RAILWAYS. There have been few transactions in railway shares, and the fluctuations of prices present no feature for comment. lib.. THE PRESS. BRITISH Ft OFFIC 3 per Cent.

The receipts of oats have been mostly cleared off, and the quotations have had au upward tendency-- the improvement being quite Si per quarter. Both beans and peas have sold freely, and the quotations have risen Is per quarter. Flour has moved off steadily, on rather higher terms. ENGLISH—Wheat.
