On Monday the English Stock Market opened with renewed dulness at a decline of to k per cent. Consols, 951 this depression was mainly owing to sales made by parties taking advantage of the previous rise to rea- lize profits and close accounts ; business was however unimportant, with the exception of causing a temporary flatness. Yesterday an improved tone was exhibited altogether, and which has been followed by increased firmness today. Consols on Wednesday evening were 951, at the close this afternoon they are 96.
