JULY 5, 1856. ray, iu which it wan assumed somewhat too confidently that we ire upon the eve of a speculative mania to end in a crash like those in the years 1825, 1836, and 1847- The market left off heavy at 95i to I. Bank Stock, 2184. Exchequer Bills have improved ; the premium has ad vanced since our last no lees than Bs. upon large descrip tions, and 10s. upon small. They are now dealt in at 19s. ti ils. premium. Railway Shares advanced on Saturday from one to three per cent., and the improvement has since been maintained, with the exception of some speculative descriptions which obtained an inflated value for the time. London and North Western have touched 113, a price they have not attained for a long time past, and they cannot now be had under 1091. Moat of the other heavy stocks continue at the advanced quotations, whilst the tone of the market remains favorable to a further rise the first opportunity. Today quotations were flat at the opening, owing to the same influences which depressed Consols, although there was no pressure of sales to cause a decline. at the close quotations were from three-eighths to a half lower than yesterday. In this case, as in Consols, the re action is trifling compared with the extreme rise which took place on Saturday. French lines have almost wholly recovered the late depression. The new undertakings are Ist; but Canadian descriptions are firm. Foreign Securities have generally been good ; but Turk ish Six per Cents. fell 21. to-day. Joint stock Bank Shares have nearly all improved. Numerous investments have been made in the shares of the older establishments, and Australian have been in special demand. A call of 401. per share has been made on the share holders in the Loudon and Paris Bank,-201. payable on the sth August, and 201. on the 15th September, after which the bank will commence business. The charter of incorporation was obtained on Wednesday. BANK OF ENGLAND. An Account, pursuant to the Act Ttb and Bth Victoria, cap. 32 for the week ending on Saturday, the 28th day of Jute, 1858.
