The tone of the Liverpool Stock Exchange was

Under the influence of the important, and, to some
extent, decisive news received from the seat of war
this morning, the London Stock Market opened with
considerable buoyancy, and the news being regarded
in a favourable light, Consols and other securities
advanced in price, and at one time were quoted
fully three-quarters per cent higher than on
Saturday, but they subsequently gave way a
little, and finally closed about a-half or five-
eighths per cent. above the closing prices of
Saturday. The actual closing prices were-Consols
for Money and Account, 931, 934; Three per Cents,
924, 924 • Bank Stock, 219, 221 ; Exchequer Bills,
Large and Small, 18, 22 pm.
In the London Share Market, there was a very
good feeling all day, but the amount of business done
was not large, and yet prices had an upward
tendency, closing as follow :-Ambergate, SN, 5'4 ;
Caledonians, 771, 781; Ditto Preference, 100, 102 ;

The commercial advices from Australia are not
much changed from that previously to hand. Busi-
ness in the Melbourne Import Market had been
satisfactory, and prices tolerably well sustained. In
the market for Flour the demand had slightly
increased, and holders were less disposed to realise,
save at full quotations. Sellers of Butter had not
been induced to modify their demands, and holders
of Oats appear to think that rates would advance.
The Banks Were issuing drafts on England at sixty
days sight at par. Drafts against Gold purchased
at 1 per cent. discount. Freight on Gold, per sailing
vessels, 24d per ounce ; per overland mail steamers,
one per cent. deliverable at the Bullion•office, Bank
of England. To Mauritius, Ceylon, or Indian ports,
;57iper cent. ; to Hong Kong, 4 per cent. Insurance,
4-3 per cent. ; and overland, 11 per cent. Bank rates
of discount, 8 per cent. on bills having less than
ninety days to run ; and 9 per cent over ninety-five
days' currency. Over 125 days, 10 per cent. The
charge on over-drafts is 10 per cent. Freight on
Gold transmitted by the overland route, three-
fourths per cent. Insurance, 14 to 14 per cent. No
alteration was reported to have taken place in the
price of Gold which remains as follows : - Castlemaine
