The following appeared in a portion of our
. impression of yesterday :
The funds opened with animation, this morning,
,owing
to the powerful majority on the Budget and the favour-
able character of the Tank return : a relapse, however,
appeared in the-afternoon, a withdrawal of gold having
taken place, and the Paris, Bourse continuing to show
heaviness. The demand ,for discount has been very
moderate for a Saturday. Notwithstanding the- heavi-
ness in the funds, the railway market has been generally
steady.--Times.
The market opened at an advance of per cent., owing
to the decisive advantage obtained by Ministers ; a
relapse soon took place, the idea of ' a dispute with
Spain having some effect, and a bold statement being
at the same time hazarded that an alliance has been
formgd between Russia and Austria in a sense hostile to
England and France. Consols closed at a decline of
per cent. from yesterday's quotations. In the absence
of bona fide transactions the market showed a more than
usual degree of sensitiveness to the reports which are
engendered by the unsettled position of politics on the
Continent. The share markets was steady until checked
by the decline in consols. Bar gold to the amount of
£40,000 was taken from the Bank for exportation. The
exchanges on the Continent are reported flat. There has
been scarcely any imports of gold this week. The total,
does not exceed £2o,ooo.—Daily News.
The ENGLISH RAILWAY SHARE MARKET
.to-day' exhibited weakness, though not to any
material extent. Caledonian, Eastern Counties,
and South Easterns were rather lower, but Great
Westerns advanced,l per cent. New Indian Five
per Cent. Loan is quoted 1031 to 104, showing a
decline of per cent. Canada Scrip has fallen to
14 to 24- pm. Turkey Bank Shares are 1 to
dis.
