This scarcity of stock led to a !rally of about Z percent. from the lowest point, and at the final close, prices were about the same as they left off yesterday. As an illustration of the excessive sensitiveness of the market, it may be mentioned that some very vague reports to the effect that Prince Gortachakoff and M. do Kotzebue had proceeded to Giurgewo with the view of opening, negotiations with the Turks, were referred to as hay- isehad some influence in sustaining the market la the afternoon, notwithstanding the unmistakable eon- tradiction which has been given to the oft-repeated l , statements of the pacific views of the Czar by the publication of a new and more warlike manifesto. No eopy of the St. Peterburg Journal of the 2nd inst., which is presumed to contain this important docu ment, reached the City to-day ; but telegraphic de spatches from Brussels were published, purporting to give the sense of it. The Paris bourse of to-day I was reported as opening at a fall, but a rally took place during the day, and the closing rates were only a trifle below those of yesterday. The Amster dam bourse was telegraphed as indicating symptoms of increased distrust. Consols opened at 933 to 94 for the December ac oount, subsequently became weaker at 93; to f„ quickly rallied to 94 to 1, and were quoted at the official close at the beat point of the day, viz., 941 to ifz i inoe ssesiey, and 941 to 1 for the 6th of December. is marked in the official list as low as 93 foe money ; but, if business was actually transacted at that figure, it could scarcely be considered a fair price. The latest "after-hours" quotation was 941 to for money, and 941 for amount, the market being less strong than at three o'clock. The settle ment of the account seems to have progressed very satisfactorily, but the payment of "differences will not take place till to-morrow. Loans of stock of considerable amount have been renewed until the December account, and the cur rent speculation, though lessened in amount, remains still very largely for the fall. It is at the same time noticed that the purchases of the public, which were se actively prosecuted when prices were two per eent. below their present range, have materially di minished since the rise. The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Console, for money, 94 1 s 03 2 s 94 1, 1,3, 3 ; ditto, for account, Gth Dec., 94, 3, 931, 911. 3 Throe per Cent. Reduced, 923, 933.

India Donde are rather weaker, at 2s. die. to 2s. prem. The foreign stock market presented no feature of interest, the transactions being scattered, and lead ing to no important change in prices. Sardinian is rather weaker, but Russian maintains its price. At four o'clock Mexican Banda were quoted 25 to 3. Spanish Deferred, 21t to 22; the Certifs., 51 to 51 per cent. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 71 to 73; ditto Three per Cents., 50 to 52. Sardinian Five per Cents., 91 to 92. Granada Active, 201 to 211 ; ditto Deferred, 71 to 81. Russian Five per Cents., 113 to 113 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 98 to 100. The list of actual sales is annexed : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., for account, 16th Nov., 981. Cuba Seven per Cent. Bonds (Matanzas and Savanilla Itailway), 1021. Equador Bonds, 53.1 Granada Deferred, 71. Mexican Three per Cents., 253, 1. Perutien Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 73.

Spanish Passive Bonds (Converted), 41; the Committee's Certifs., 5; per cent. Venezuela Three-and-a-lhlf per Cents., 323, 311, 32. The motley market shows increased ease. The bankers and discount houses have at their disposal very large sums of money, for much of which tempo rary employment cannot be found. The check given to trade by the war in Wallachia, and by the appre hension of its influence on the peace that at present happily subsists in the rest of Europe, naturally tends to assist the accumulation of idle capital. The interest accruing on the deposits on the shares of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the half year ending the 3rd inst., at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, is advertised as payable on the 15th inst. The half-yearly general meeting of the Imperial Continental Gas Association is called for the 30th inst., at which a dividend will be declared on the original capital, as well as on the second and third capit. We al understand the sum actually paid up on the new shares of the Amalgamated East Indian Rail way Company is about 150,0001. only. As the total amount of the first call would be 800,0001., and as the last day allowed for paying up expired more than a week ago, it follows that this company has not suc ceeded in obtaining one fifth of the capital requisite for carrying out the important project of the connex ion of Upper India with Bengal and Calcutta by means of railways. It will be recollected that the entire amount of the new capital of this company ie to be 8,000,0001., in 400,000 shares of 201. each, upon which the East India Company have given a guarantee of 41 per cent. The failure of the company to get its capital subscribed illustrates in a striking manner the impolicy of OW trusting so gigantic an undertaking to the hands el l one company. Instead of thus encouraging maw poly the East India Company ought to have split the ' contract into several parts, and given it, with es little delay as possible, to two or three companies. Instead of adopting this reasonable course the court, following blindly the sugestion casually thrown out by Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General, did their utmost to discourage competition, and may even be said to have forced the Lpper India Railway Com pany—the only association of importance that pre sented itself to compete for a portion of the contract—to amalgamate with the East Indian Railway Company on terms far from just. If the East India Company really wish to promote the Indian railway system, they should insist upon the ', East Indian Railway Company concentrating its energies upon the line from Calcutta to Rajmahal, a ' line which many persons apprehend will not be !completed for many years to come, unless more energy and unity of purpose are infused into the management. The connecting link next in import anee, that from Allahabad to the north-western frontier, ought, as we have repeatedly urged, to be ! given to another company. What can be more absurd than for one company to be entrusted with 'the construction of two distinct lines of rail way, separated from each other by a dis tance of several hundred miles? As for the line along the Ganges, from Rajmahal towards Alla habad, it may safely be asserted that there is no immediate necessity for its construction. When the lother more important lines above referred to shall have been completed, it will then be time for the East India Company to turn their attention to this third line. At present the court may be said to be beginning at the wrong end. Indeed its policy has been so contradictory and dilatory as to induce an opinion that the real desire is to preserve to India :-.----_----__ TEE I) A I LY NEWS: Luke Mose& a p. p . v . , pos . id. jos Fatima OnrWa tine DV .I.lf NEWS Y nt the head of the U eda l'essi et grey Britain. , atvacallailt me sensesses tots stossest mom sad in *ilia sal Pre 'Asa reforms, INsither Ohba.

DVICOVERT OP • NEW PLANET.—Mr. Hind has dimovared a new planet in the constellation Taurus, about two degrees south of the ecliptic. It is rather brighter than teen of the ninth magnitude. This planet is the ninth which he has discovered since the commencement of • eye tematic search in 1914, and raises the number of that ex traordinary group of worlds between Mars sad Jupiter to 27. THE Docx has been proposed to make a railway round the Bristol quays.

Many months back when money was cheap, and when a 4i per cent. guarantee from the East India Company would have sufficed t . ..) raise double the capital required, and to have mriintained the shares at a high premium, the court disgusted the applicants by repeated delays. Finally it was determined that the matter should be referred to the Governor-General of India, although every possible information was to be obtained in England as to the wants of the territory in question ; and when, after further useless delays, the court was reluctantly induced to give a guarantee on the capital required, the money market is in so unsettled a state that it is found impossible to raise the money. It remains to be seen how the parties entrusted with the canstruc tion of the extended line will now proceed, seeing that the mouey cannot be raised. Land shares to-day were quiet, with little altera tion in prices. The transactions aro chiefly con fined to the shares of the Australian Agricultural and Peel River Companies, neither of which showed any variation of importance. Bank shares were steady, except those of the Union Bank of Australis, which were quoted 11. lower. Crystal Palace shares closed the same as yesterday, at 15-16 to 1 1.16 prem. The 501. shares of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company (with 25L paid), have been dealt in at 38. MINES. THU/LSDAY Business in the market for home mining stocks to day has been of an ordinary character. The British Iron Company's shares are quoted 11. higher. The sales reported are South Caradon at 300 ; West Caradon, 235, 240; Beaceau. 100 ; West Providence, 32 ; Great Wheal Alfred, 321, 371; Bryntail, .31; East Buller, 31, 1 ; Porkellis United, 71 ; Gilmer, 51. The gold mining share market presented no change of importance, business being dull. The Agua Fria Company have received further advioes from California (for which reference may be made to our advertising columns). The shares of the Great Nugget Vein Company experienced no improvement on the official announcement given in our paper of this morning, to the effect that the London agents are authorised in December to return 20s. per share, less 2 per cent. premium of exchange, on the 21. paid up shares, with a dividend of 2s. on these shares: also of ls. per share on shares of 10s. paid up. At 4 o'clock, Colonial Gold wore quoted 7-16 to 9.16 prem. ; Port Phillip,'- to die.; British Australian, 9-16 to 7-16 die.; Great Nugget, A to i prem.; Nouveau Monde, 5-16 to 7-16 prem. ; Agua Fria,9.l6 to 11.16 prem. The shares of the Old Australian Copper Company, and Imperial Braillian Company, after their late rise, are again declining. St. John del Rey, on the other hand, have again risen 11. The shares of the New Linares Miuing and Smelting Company have been much enquired for lately, and large numbers have been bought at par. All the West Indian shares are much out of favour, owing to the very un favourable report issued by the Metcalfe Company. The shares of this company have fallen to k to prem. The nominal closing prices of new undertakings are as follows :—Mizen Head, to k die.; Lewis Hill Range, 1 to 1 dig. ; Craigwen, par to 1 prem.; Clarendon (of Jamaica), k to pm.'; Bntannia Gold. to 1 per eh. ; L'Aigle d'Or, to a die.; London and Virginia Gold and Copper, 1 dig. to k prem.; Mount Carbon Coal, A to 1 dig. ; Kenmore, dig. to k pm.; Lake Superior Copper, 1 die. to par ; Connemara, 1 dig. to p ar ; Glenaulin, Z to k ; Australian Mutual, a to I dia.; Chartered Australian Land and Mining, 2 to 1 des.; Golden Mountain, a to, dig. ; Poltimore, par to pm. ; Great Crinnis, par to 1 pm.; Garnett and Moseley, 1 to 11 prem. ; Sue River (of Jamaica), / dig. to par ; Met calfe (of Jamaica), 1 to 1 prem.; Adelaide Land and Gold, 11 to 0 dig. ; Australasian Coal, 1 to 1 dis.; Lignanea (of Jamaica), a to dis. ; Port Royal (of Jamaica), par to 1 pm. ; British and Colonial Smelting and Reduction, die. to par; Australian Consols, to die. ; Albion Gold, 1 to # die.; Lack amor Copper, to dig.; New Linares, k die. to 1 prem. ; PeuinsularMining, 7, to I prem.; Obernhof, 1 to Z prem.'; Angarrack Consols, par to 1 prem.

United The market for L States stocks has been ex tremely dull this week, owing to the unsatisfactory accounts received from New York.

Austrian stock seems to have especially suffered. Paris: closing prices of this day, for money : Three per Cent. Renter, 73.70; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 99.00 ; Bank Shares, 2,846. These prices of the French funds show a rally from the opening quota tions of the day, which were depressed. Compared with the final rates of yesterday, the Three per Cents. show a decline of 20c., whilst the Four-and-a- Half per Cents. are unchanged. THIS DAY.- 7 -Two o'CLocx._ The English stock market opened steadily, but has since become slightly weaker. Prices now range 1 per cent. worse than they closed yesterday. The decline appears to be owing to the arrival in the City of the official Se. Petersburg Journal of the 2nd instant, containing the manifesto of the Czar. The Emperor of Russia, in this important document, which is coached throughout in terms calculated to put the question with Turkey in a purely religious point of view, reminds his people of his endeavours to obtain satisfaction from the Porte for its bad faith in breaking former engagements, with which view his armies had occupied the Princi palities. The other Foreign Powers, the manifesto proceeds to observe, united in efforts to bring the Turks to reason, but the answer to all these attempts has been a declaration of war by the Porte, coupled with lying (or insidious) accusations against Russia. It is, therefore, the duty of the Czar to have recourse altogether to arms; and the document winds up with an appeal to the God of Battles for assistance in his efforts on behalf of the orthodox faith, coupled with a quotation from the Scriptures! Consols opened at 941 for account, and have been purchased as high as 941 for account, and 941 for money. The present quotation is 94 to for account and 941 to for money. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 921 to 931; the Throe•and•a-Quarter per Cents., 95 to 952; Ex chequer Bills, 2s. to as. prem.; India Bonds, 2s. prem. Foreign stocks are very dull. Spanish has receded to 211 to 1; and Mexican is quoted 251 to 1. Russian Five per Cents. have been dealt in at 1121 to 113; Portuguese Five per Cents., 441; ditto Four per Cents., 411 Spanish Old Three per Cents., 441; Dutch Your per Cents., Hi.

The English railway market showed depression at the commencement of business, in sympathy with the heaviness of the funds ; but a tendency towards a rally was subsequently manifested, and at the final close the closing quotations of yesterday were in most cases steadily supported.

There is indeed a saying that "99 moutons et on Champe nois font 100 likes." Front time to time, however, the people of Champagne give proof that they are not the simpletons that they are represented to be. The following instance of acuteness, which is related in one of the jour nals,would indeed do honour to a" Yorkshiremun •': A few days ago, a small farmer of the environs of Mallon, had a quantity of wool to sell, and he was waited en by one of the men who make it their business to go from place to place to effect purchases for the large dealers. A bargain was struck at 6fr. the kilogramme, and the wool was weighed and done up in sacks. Whilst the purchaser was counting out his money, the rainier went into his cellar tor a bottle or two of wine. During his absence, the wool dealer, see ing halls dozen splendid hams hanging to the ceinag, could not resist the temptation of taking two, and slapping them into one of his sacks. 'lke con was shining at the time, and the farmer saw, by the reflection on the wall, what his cus tomer was about. .When he appeared with the wine, how ever, he said nothing, but, counting over the money, pre tended not to reosllect the precise weight of the wool. The purchaser told hint, but he was not satisfied, and proposed to have the sacks weighed again. The purchaser did not like this, but could not of course resist, and the weighing was proceeded to. It turned out that they weighed 11 kilo grammes. more than he had paid for ; acid he was obliged to add 66fr. to the sum counted out. The peasant then bade him adieu with a malicious smile, for his hams bad brought him three francs a pound.
