THE STOCK AND SHARE MARKETS.

City, March 28.

The stock markets during the month have shown a strong
disposition to improve, but various causes, chiefly foreign and of
a political character, have combined to check any upward
movement. Last month closed with Consols at 943/4 to 95, and the
market remained steady and gradually requiring strength, till
the 12th, when the price marked 953/4, but shortly after it became
much weaker, gradually falling to 951/8, chiefly owing to the
apprehensions raised by the accounts of the excited state of Paris,
consequent upon the election of the Socialist candidates. Since then
prices have been looking up again, and to-day's quotation is 957/8
to 96.

Railway shares during the greater part of the month were
depressed, and prices underwent a further fall, but within the
last ten days more confidence has been shown, and the market is
now a good deal steadier for the majority of lines, though without
activity in the dealings.
