THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.

City, Jan. 28.
There has been a good deal of fluctuation in the Stock Market
during the month, and the transactions during the first fortnight
were on a very extensive scale. The New Year opened with
Consols at 96 to 1/8 for the 16th January, but the price speedily
rose, marking 971/4 on the 4th; and notwithstanding a slight
re-action which then occurred, the upward movement continued
till the 9th, when Consols reached 973/4. After this some weakness
became apparent, which was farther increased by the
announcement of a new Russian loan for five millions and a half
sterling, and on the 16th the price had fallen to 96. By the
20th it had reached 97, and again receded, and to-day is quoted
961/8 to 1/4 . Of late the business has been on a very quiet scale.

The Railway Share Market has been good and buoyant during
the month, and a very sensible rise in value has taken place for
every description of stock. There has been a large increase in
the business, and more investment on account of the public than
for some time past. The tone at present is still very firm and
satisfactory.

CORN MARKET.

Mark Lane, Jan. 28.
The Corn Market during the greater part of the month has
been dull and depressed, and the prices both of English and
foreign wheat have experienced a decline. The arrivals from
the country have been very moderate, but quite suflicient to
meet the small demand from the millers, whose trade has been
much interfered with by the large importations of foreign flour.

Wheat, per quarter, 44s. 1d.
Barley, 27s. 7d.
Oats, 17s. 3d.
