During the greater part of the week the Consol market

has been firm at steadily-advancing rates. The closing prices on Saturday last were 90 to 90k for money, and 901 I for account. On Thursday the quotation for money was 901- 91; for account, 91k k. Yesterday, however, owing to the less favourable Bank return, the stock of bullion having been decreased to the extent of 103,5661., or to 15,255,433/., the market was somewhat heavy, and prices declined, Consols having closed at 901 I for delivery, and 90 for account. The stock of bullion in the Bank of France is now 18,196,2201.
