FRIDAY EvENiNe.
The Stock Exchange has been chiefly influenced by the
Ministerial crisis during the week, but the actual effect
upon quotations proved extremely inconsiderable. Public
opinion had long since sufficiently pronounced the sentence
of the Aberdeen and Newcastle Ministry, and in monetary
circles, no less than throughout the country generally, the
persuasion prevailed, that any change from the late incapa-
ble Administration, must prove for the better.

Prices of Console closed on Saturday at 91. for money,
and 91. for the account of the Bth inst. On Monday the
market opened steadily, and a slight advance was notice-
able, but before the close there was a slight reaction, in
consequence of rumours touching the possible results of
the night's debate in the House of Commons, and the
quotations left off at 91}
Tuesday's market was quiet, little business being done
but prices remaining steady. The division of the previous
night was known to have occasioned a break up of the
Cabinet. Nevertheless the dealers awaited with patience
and confidence the announcement of new combinations,
calculated to educe a strong Government. Consols during
the day ranged from 91 to 91. for money, and 91. to . for
account.
On Wednesday the quotations somewhat declined,
business being done in Consols at 91 to both for imme-
diate transfer and on speculation. Yesterday the Market
recovered its tone. The prices improved from their slight
depreciation, and closed at the same range as on Tuesday,
91 f. To-day an increased firmness has been percepti-
ble, and an advance of was established. Consols were
done at 91. to . for money and account. Reduced Three
per Cents. have been at 91*, and the New Three per
Cents. up to 921. Bank Stocks was firm at 212. India
Bonds. 14. Exchequer Bills 4s. to 'Ts. pm.
Money has been somewhat more in demand in th
discount market.
The Calcutta, which arrived on Monday, has brought
gold dust and specie to the value 400,0001. from
Australia.
RAILWAYS.

The Share Market has been somewhat dull. Owing to
the inclement season, and many obstructions to travelling
from snow drift on the rails, the weekly traffic returns
show a considerable falling off on most of the larger lines.
FOREIGN.

The market for Foreign Stocks has been quiet. Turkish
Bonds have ranged from 76 to 4; and the Now French
Loan at 34 to 4 prem.
Under the supplementary convention to the treaty with
Sardinia, this country has agreed to lend that State
1,000,0001. during the current year, and a further sum of
1,000,0001. next year, at three per cent. interest, and one
per cent. for a sinking fund. As soon as the consent of
Parliament has been obtained, bOO,OOOl. will be paid.
