            THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS

                                                                City, April 25.

There have been few fluctuations in the Money Market during
the month. The opening price for Consols on the 1st was 961/8,
but the troubled aspect of affairs in France caused on the same
day a decline. Since then prices have been firm, owing to the
numerous purchases of small amounts, usually made soon after
the payment of the dividends. The quotations therefore now
stand nearly as on the 1st of April.

Railway Shares steadily declined in price from the beginning
to the 16th of the month, when sales took place to an extent that
amounted to a panic. Then came a re-action which promised
well; but within the last day or two these banks have turned
out a large number of shares on which they had made advances,
and this, added to a prevalent want of confidence in the
management of certain lines, once more brought prices low.

The following Tables present the highest, lowest, and latest
prices during the month:—

                      PRODUCE MARKET

Colonial produce has been dull of sale during the month, and
prices have declined. Ceylon Coffee which at first stood at
48s. was afterwards driven up by some speculative purchases
to 55s., but the market since gradually gave way, and the last
quotations are 46s. to 46s. 6d. Sugar scarcely sustained the March
prices. In Tea more business has been done than for some
time previous, supplies having come in freely. For gunpowder,
and the fine kinds of tea, the tendency has been downward.
