From consumption there were in the previous week , 135 , in the last 115 ; in both there were considerable less than the corrected average , which is about 150 . In the epidemic class , small-pox and scarlatina are still less lat . il than usual , especially the latter ; measles , hooping-cough , and typhus , from which there were last wlek 19 , 44 , and 39 respectively , show about the ordinary amount of fatality ; 7 persons died of influenza , being an increase ; 18 of diarrhoea and dysentery , which is less than in the previous week , but more than the average But the excess in last return over the weeks immediately preceding is only to a small extent caused by an increased rate of mortality ; coroners cases , many of which were not duly registered during the quarter as they occurred , but were kept in reserve till the end of it , swell the account .

4 » MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . City , Saturday Morning . ' The Consol Market opened yesterday with increased firmness , but it gave way before the close , which was attributed to the unsatisfactory intelligence from Paris . The final quotations were 96 to J for the present set » leinent , and 9 GJ to 8 f » r the account . Exchequer Bills were much inquired for , and advanced Is . There was scarcely any change in the foreign market . The English Funds were very buoyant at the beginning of the week , but have since been gradually , though not seriously , declining . Th ? prices of Consols on Monday reached 0-ig , and closed firm , after an imposing tendency throughout the whole transactions of the day , which were of considerable amount . On Tuesday they gave way slightly , under an evident depression . On Wednesday the market was agnin flat , and a further decline in prices took place . Yesterday the market iiKiiin opened heavy , and business was dull for some time . This depression was attributed to a continuance of a sale of stock , understood to be on account of a leading house in the City . Towards the close of business yesterday a favourable reaction took place , owing to the ! hJ ; i 8 t India Company ' s broker buying considerably , and Consols left oil' ( inn at an advance of about J per cent . Exchequer Dills have not fluctuated much . The transactions during the week have been tolerably steady at ( 51 to (> 7 premium ; India Bonds , 88 to 01 ; South Sea Stock . 10 / 5 g ; Long Annuities for thirty years , expiring in 18 ( 50 , tit H ") 88 . The state of the various Bourses on the Continent haa , with the exception of that of Paris , been pretty settled uul linn . In the French Funds there was a sensible ' all on Tuesday , which was attributed to apprehensions ) f a quarrel between Austria and Prussia on the German iu > HtiuD . . . There slight declination in the ViorinW Bbur ^ e ' , cause . But their inlu nro has scarcely our own l ^ xchange . The transactions Stocks throughout the vevk . have been unt , and in some of them here has been improvement . This has een particularly Buenos Ayres Bonds , nd Danish ., the former having dvanccd three the latter one and
a half per cent ., ex div . Mexican and Peruvian have been rather heavy and declining . The rest have remained tolerably firm , at the rates of last week . The following has been the run of prices : —Mexican , 27 * to 28 ; Peruvian , 68 to 69 ex div . ; Deferred Bonds , 263 to 27 * ; Equador , 3 * to 31 ; Russian Scrip , 1 * to 1 * ; Spanish Five per Cents ., 16 * to 17 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents ., 55 } to f ; ditto Four per Cents ., 844 to 85 ex div . ,, _ x , The price of gold has been pretty equable . In . London , Paris , and Hamburg , especially , there has been no sensible variation . In Paris the premium has been 15 per mille , and on exchange or share , 25 524 ; m Hamburgh the price has been 4364 per mark , and the exchange account share 13 lOf . .,.,-, In the Railway Share Market considerable depression has prevailed . Prices generally have been heavy , and gradually declining . This has been the case particularly with Great-Western , Leeds and Bradford , Midland , Norfolk , which have declined from £ 1 to £ 2 per share each ; Great North of England , North-Western , and Lancashire and Yorkshire , which have declined £ 3 each ; and South-Western and South-Eastern , 10 s . each . The produce markets , which had been closed for tns Easter holidays , re-opened on Wednesday . Business generally was dull , and prices looking downwards again rather than otherwise . The Corn Market has also been extremely heavy again , and the late advance in prices has already given way both in London and at the principal country markets . The price of wheat in France has been falling still more seriously , and continues to fall . On Saturday last the general average was 14 for 4 c , being a decline of 10 c . during the month . It is a lower price than has been known for many years in the country . There has been a decided improvement in some of the markets of the manufacturing districts within the last two or three days ; better prices have been realized , especially at Manchester , and a considerable amount of business has been done , principally , however , m light goods for the Indian trade . In the woollen districts there is not much change .
