Some gloomy reports from the' leading railway corn-
. ipanies, the London .an-d_North-Westem andthe Great
IWestern in particular, have induced large speculative
sales in our &LIRE :MARKET, which have lowered
males in our MLRKT, which have lowered
pIiCCS considerably. We are, however,- informed on
good authority, that.the extremity of these companies
is on the eve of bringing. out a remedy. A large and
comprehensive scheme of reform and retrenchment has
`been proposed by the• Great Western Company, which
vsvas laid before the London- and NorthLWestern Board
-on Saturday last. This, it is said, if agreed.to, will
bring about an immense saving in the expenses of
( these companies, and , restore eto them , some of -their
prosperity of former ,days. -We believe the plan does
away with all competition—divides the country into
'dietricts, leavingeachfoone management ---and descends
even into the minutest details connected with the expen-
diture of each. This step was quite necessary to restore
oonfidence. Atthe settlement now-1n progress,stockis
very scarce, an evidence that; the public have not been
selling. Dutch Rhenish:and some ether Foreign Shares

Corrox.---During the early part of ,the week the
market, was very quiet, and being freely supplied there
was rather a tendency to give way in prices owing to
the heavy feeling at Manchester and the uncertainty
which prevailed as to the prospects of the harvest.
Since Thurslay, however, there has been considerable
improvement, and prices have advanced fully ffd. per
lb, with a confident tone. The sales of the week-up
to Friday amounted to 38,740 bales., .of which 3,9§0
were taken on
.speculation, and 3,250 for export.
leaving 31,590 for the trade. TO-DAY the .advices by
the Canada were received, showing more firmness on
;the other side, which had a corresponding effect here.
The .sales reached 0,000 bales, including 6,000 for
speculation and export, and the market closed firmly.
The following is a comparison of present rates with
those of the corresponding period last year :
