MONEY MARKER.
&ram EXCHANGE. Paws: Arrirazoioa. The buoyancy in the English Funds, which was predominant at the close of last week, was maintained until Wednesday. Much steadiness had been exhibited, and, under the influence of the Australian news with large re- mittances of gold and anticipations of future shipments, would probably have improved, had not a demand for temporary accommodation caused some stock to change hands. Consols closed yesterday at 99f / for Money and 991 100 for Account. This depression of 1 had been partly caused by unfavourable opinions regarding the affairs of Austria and Switzerland, and the present condition of Italy and Hungary.Today the Funds are I lower : Consols leave off 991 I for Money and 99t for Account. Exchequer Bills have de- clined is.; closing at 9 13 premium. Bank Stock at the shutting was 228, and on Monday was quoted for the opening at 2281, 91.

The Scrip has declined to 31 41 premium, owing to sales to realize profits. The new Prussian loan of 5,000,000 thalers (750,0001. sterling) is to be brought out in Berlin as a Four per Cent Stock, and will probably be issued at par. Australian Agricultural Shares were on Tuesday at 112 116: from this price there has been a gradual decline ; today they are 103 108, and Peel River Land and Mineral, 61 7 premium. The Railway Market was steady at the commencement of the week. The settlement of the Account took place on Tuesday, and Stock was more plen- tiful than on the last occasion, and the "continuation" higher. Shares have since become flatter' owing to sales.
