266 rautg Iflarlat a 0 tit Itttiligtutt. FRIDAY EVENING. THE Consol Market has been unsettled during the week, and exhibited at intervals tokens of reaction from the advance which it sustained when the death of the late Czar was announced. Business under the circumstances is circumscribed, notwithstanding the reports which have been busily circulated of favorable symptoms in Paris and Vienna, leading to hopes that the renewed Conferences in the latter capital may have a pacific result. The daily quotations have been : Saturday, 921 93 ; Monday, after receding to 921 1, prices recovered, and left off as on Saturday ; Tuesday, some accounts of favorable tenor, said to have come to band from Vienna, caused an improvement of nearly 1 per cent., the market closing at 931 d for money, and 931 for account of the 11th April ; on Wednesday, the quo tations fell back again, marking at one time 021, and closing at 93 tot for present transfer. Yesterday, the prices were firmer, and at the close were quoted at 931 for money, and 031 for account. To-day's market has been buoyant, and an advance of per cent. was established at the close, when Consols marked 934 4 for money, and 931 f for account. New Two and-a• Half per Cents. were 79; India Stock, 225 ; India Bonds, Ils. to 145.; Exchequer Bills, Os. to 9s. prem.; Exchequer Bonds, 991. The Bank of England has subscribed for the whole of the guaranteed Jamaica loan of 433,0001., at 101 1. 6s. 4d. per 1001. The exchanges both in France and Holland show a tendency to further improvement, and gold could not now be sent from this country, except at a de cided loss. )2& 3i'OS ,D3i 1 - 221 7I 1 8 1 6 227 9 1 6 227 9 i I ll X 35 11 FOREIGN. The Foreign securities have on the whole been well supported, the general tendency being to an advance of prices. Turkish Bonds have reached a small premium, and were done to-day at par to prem. for money, SO for speculation. Spanish Threes are also better, at 301 37 ; the New Deferred marking 16t SHARES. Wednesday WM the half -monthly settling day in Railway Shares. The accounts were adjusted with out difficulty, and business afterwards became more animated, but prices were in many instances below the previous rates. Yesterday and to-day the quota tons have improved, snd the market this afternoon showed considerable firmness at better prices. BRITISH F °Fru [DB.— Clo3ing Prices. .1..
