A good deal of uneasiness continues observable at the
Stock Exchange on the subject of our relations with
France, and the fluctuation which has taken place to-
day in the value of the public securities shows that the
market is liable under present circumstances to be rather'
severely acted upon by speculative sales. Although the
public have bought freely within the last week, exten-
sive operations for the fall have also been effected, and
these having taken place quietly, their real effect upon.
prices has not yet been discovered. Consols opened at
982 for money and the account this morning, and an
attempt was made to mark them 99 ; but as the broker
for the Commissioners only gave 981, it could not be ac-
complished. At this point there seemed to be much
firmness in prices till the speculators again came in as
sellers, and various reports having got into circulation—
one to the effect that M. Guizot had left the French
Cabinet—they gradually gave way, and finally left off
heavy at 98i.
SU N.—Specula*ive sales were made this afternoon in
Console, which caused the market to close heavily, the
rates being 98f 1 for money, and 98f 1 for time. The New
Three-and-a-llalf per Cents. declined to 101 ; and the
Reduced to 102 ; -the Three per Cents. being 99f k.
Canada Debentures were done at 1111.
The Foreign Market continued flat also. Spanish Ac-
tives were 22-k ; and_the Three per Cents. 33 to f. Co-
lombian steady at 132 Venezuela were 41 to 1. .
