FRIDAY EVZXINO.
Ar the opening of the presen eek great dullness
was manifested on 'Change. ...,a reassembling of
Parliament was looked upon as foreboding serious
embarrassments to the Governs whose position
in other respects was believe to be exceedingly
critical. Speculative sales accordingly were effectied
to large amounts, and depressed the quotations
nearly three-quarters per cent. between Saturday and
Wednesday. The prices of Consols for account
ranged on Monday from 911 to 911, being 1 lower
than on the previous Saturday, and on Tuesday de-
clined to 914. On Wednesday the debates on the
first night of the reopened session were considered
to have passed off more harmlessly than had been
apprehended, and the quotations rallied a little.
Consols for money were dune at 911 to 1, and for the
account of February Bth at 911. Yesterday the
rumours of a break up in the Cabinet produced their
natural result, by causing a fall in prices, and the
market during the whole day presented a very un-
settled appearance. Consols fell successively from
911 to 91 and 901 for immediate transfer, and to 91
for the account. Before the close of business a par-
tial recovery took place, the quotations at the close
being, for money, 91; account, 91 1 1.
'fo•day the market has been firmer, and prices advanced
slightly. Consols for money have been quoted at 91 911
and for the Bth February, at ali to 914. Reduced Three
per Cents. were 914 ; New Three per Cents, 9111. Bank
Stock, 210 to 212. India Bonds, 12s. Exchequer Bills,
4s. to 7e. prem. Ditto Bonds, 994.

FOREIGN.
In the foreign markets the business has been steady,
and at somewhat improved quotations. Spanish Stocks
have advanced during the week. Turkish Bonds were
done to-day at 281 for money and account.

RAILWAY SHARES.
In Shares the basiness done has been very limited, but
prices were maintained with tolerable firmness, and in some
lines an advance has been established. The weekly return.
of traffic were rather worse, transit having been mach
interrupted by the snow and frost.
