TUTADAT l&vzxime.

The variations in the funds to-day were unimpor-
tant, business being limited. Generally the market
is steady is character, although devoid of the buoy-
ancy which wee imparted lately by speculative
operations. Any tendency in the direction of im-
provement is restrained by the, preparations for the
settlement of the monthly account in Consols, which
terminates on Thursday next. The price for the
new account of the 14th March continues 1 to 9-18
per cent. above that for money. This high rate of
oentinuation," coupled with the continued dearness
of money, checks the disposition to effect speculative
purchues.
Consols for money and Thursday varied from 901
to 901, and closed at 901, being a shade better than
yesterday afternoon. The official business report is
u follower—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
901, 1,1, 1; ditto, for account, 7th of February,
901, 1,1, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 901, 91.
New Three per Cents., 911, 1, 1. Long Annui-
ties, expiring in Jan., 1880, 31. Thirty Years
Annuities, April, 1885 (new loan), 1811-18. Bank
Stock, 213, 2131. India Stock, 224, 2231, 225.
Exchequer Bills were quoted 10s. to se. die.; India
Bonds, 9e. to 4s. die.; sad Exchequer Bonds, 971
to 98.

Foreign stock. showed steadiness. Russian Five
per Cents. rose 1 per cent. Turkish Six per Cent&
closed the same as yesterday, at 93/ to;. The trans-
actions in this stock were upon a mach quieter seals
than of late. The New Four per Cent. Guaranteed
Loan declined per cent., being finally quoted 1001
to 101 ex dir. At 4 o'clock Russian Five per Cents.
were quoted 104 to 108 ; ditto Foar-and-s-Rall per
Cents., 92 to 94 ; Mexican, 201 to 21 ; Peruvian
Four and-a-Ralf per Cents., 80 to 82 ; Spanish De-
ferred Three per Cents., 23/ to 24; Sardinian,
89 to 91; Dutch Two-and-o Half per Cents., 64
to 86; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 96 to 97.
There was a species of panic today in the market
for Great Western Stock, which fall suddenly no less
than 3 per cant, owing to large speculative sales.
Then operattoas were attribated to parties who are
' reported to possess arcuate information relative to
the financial position of the company. The market
for this stock se very sensitive, owing to the belief that
the rate of dividend for the last half year will be
fixed at a board meeting to be held tomorrow. We
have uniformly deprecated the too prevalent practice
' under which favoured individuals contrive to acquire
early information upon each matters. The system is
unjust to shareholders and detrimental to railway
property generally, and its abolition is essential to
the revival of public confidence in this clue of in.
vestments.
