                 THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.
                                                                       City, Feb. 27.

There has been a good deal of fluctuation in the home funds
this month, prices having varied above 2 per cent. The earliest
quotation of Consols was 961/8 to 1/4, but the unsettled aspect of
the Greek question soon began to exert an influence on the
market, the price falling to 951/4 on the 5th, and further declining
to 943/8 on the 14th. By the 20th the quotation had rallied to 955/8,
but since then the tone has been heavy, and to-day Consols are
marked as low as 945/8. They leave off, however, rather better, at
95 to 1/8.

The tendency of the Railway Share Market has been
decidedly downwards, and a fall has occurred in the prices
of nearly every line. The greatest decline has, however, been
in London and North Westerns, owing to the reduction of the
dividend from 7 to 5 per cent.
