             THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.

                                                                             City, May 28.

The chief influencing cause of movement in the English Stock
Market this month, has been the varying intelligence from
France. At the beginning of the month Consols marked 951/4 to
7/8, and the market showed much steadiness till the 16th, when
the price touched 96 3/8; but on this day was received the news of
the recall of the French ambassador at London, and Consols fell
at once to 95 in consequence. Since then, prices have been
gradually creeping up again, and are now rather better than at
the commencement of the month, Consols being quoted to-day
at 96 1/8 to 1/4

The Railway Share Market has been characterised by a much
better tone during the month, and prices of all descriptions of
stocks have experienced a rise. Within the last few days the
public have begun to appear in the market as buyers; and this,
added to improved trafflc returns, has greatly aided in strengthening
prices.
