Consols during the week have fluctuated daily in price. The

changeable state of the weather has produced considerable de- pression, but on the other hand the operations of the Government broker for the reduction of the National Debt have prevented any serious fall in the quotations. On Saturday last Consols left off at 89f, j for money, and 89k, 90 for account. Yesterday the closing prices were 89k, f for delivery, and 89f, for time. The lowest price touched was 891 for money. The Bank minimum rate of discount remains at 4, but in the open market increased ease is apparent, the quotation for the best short-dated paper being 3i, and in exceptional instances si per cent. The stock of bullion here is 14,221,1301.
