THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.

City, Oct. 28.

During the early part of the month, in consequence of the
transfer books of the various descriptions of home securities
being shut, Consols were the only stock in which business could
be done; but, notwithstanding, the operations were of a very
quiet character, and failed to sustain the market, the price
receding to 961/2, which it marked on the 5th inst. With the
commencement of the payment of the dividends, however, an
upward movement set in, and the price went rapidly up till the
16th, when Consols were done at 973/4. They then remained
pretty steady till the 23rd, when a speculative action to depress
prices came in force, and they gradually drooped to their
yesterday's quotation, 967/8 to 97. To-day the market leaves off rather
steadier, with Consols quoted at 971/8 to 1/4. Within the last
fortnight a very large business has been transacted, not only in
Consols, but also in the Reduced 3 per Cents., the New 31/4 per
Cents., and the other stocks which have recently opened.

The Railway Share Market on the whole has been good this
month, and characterised by a strong tendency to improvement,
as will be seen upon an inspection of the extreme prices given
below. Very extensive purchases were made in nearly all the
railway stocks during all the first half of the month; and though
the tone of the market of late has been slightly depressed, this is
generally regarded as arising from causes which are easy of
explanation, and of a merely temporary character.

CORN MARKET.

Mark Lane, Oct. 26.

The tendency of the prices of home-grown wheat has been
slightly declining during the month, the supplies from the
country being of a fair amount, and millers purchasing with
extreme caution, so as only to meet immediate wants. Where
sales have to be made, a slight concession is generally obliged
to be yielded. The London averages (announced last night),
which are given below, show a reduction of full 3s. per
quarter in wheat, as compared with those published in our last
monthly notice. Foreign grain has generally been held more
firmly:—
