THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.
City, Dec. 27.
A steadily improving tendency was manifested in the English
Stock Market at the commencement of the month. A good
many operations, chiefly based upon the more favourable aspect
of Continental politics, were entered into, and the price of Consols
went gradually up from 965/8 to 3/4, at which it stood on the
29th ult., to 981/2, which it reached on the 12th inst. On that
day the dividend of 30s. was taken off the price, making the
quotation 967/8 to 97. The market then remained very steady
till yesterday, when the unexpected intelligence of the Bank of
England having raised its rate of discount from 21/2 to 3 percent,
caused a fall from 971/4 to 963/8. To-day the market leaves off with
a steadier appearance at 961/2 to 5/8 ex. div.
The Railway Share Market has been the scene of great
activity. Very extensive speculations have been entered into,
besides a large genuine business, and prices of all descriptions
have experienced a marked rise. The Bank measure of yesterday,
above referred to, caused a rapid fall in this market also,
but prices to-day are recovering.
