The following appeared in 'Our second editiOn
of yesterday :
The railway traffic returns for the United Kingdom
in the week ending June 23rd, exceed by £36,790 the
corresponding week last year.7ll/4e.s. •
The decision regarding the lists for the RUssian loan
is not likely to be made known before Wednesday', as it
must partly depend on the amount of applications made
to Messrs. Hoye and Co., in Amsterdam.
The funds closed at an advance of .1116 to k per cent.
Business in all departments was languid. The British
railway market was likewise somewhat stronger. This
being the last day of the quarter,
-the money, market, as
usual, was very active, The applications at the Vault
of Eriglaud to-day were accordingly extensive, and in
the open market the rate for good bills was 41 to 41 per
cent. A large amount of bills fall due on Wednesday,
the 4th inst.—Daily News.
There has been scarcely any business in the Stoek
Exchange, bat the quotations, both of stocks, and shares,
have mostly been ffrps, and in consequence of the close
of the half-yearly demand for discount at the Bank, was
extremely heavy. In the course of the next fortnight,
however, owing to the steady arrivals of gold, and the
fact that the rate of discount is at present higher in
England than at any part of the Continent, and equal
even to the terms current at New York, a return of
comparative ease is expected, which, in the event of fine
weather, and the absence of foreign loans, may lead,
before, the end of July, to a redaction of the Bank
oharge to 31 per cent. There were no gold operations
of any importance at the Bank to-day. A large amount
of specie has been received this week, six gold ships
having arrived from Australia, and some considerable
sums from the United States and West Indies,—nearly
£930,000. The difference between the highest and
lowest prices of consols during June, has beeu only
per cent. The quotation at the close is exactly the
same as at the beginning. In the railway market there
has been similar steadiness. On the Paris Bourse,
during the month, a recovery occurred of about I per
cent. The railway market opened steadily this morning,
and improved with consols.—Tinses.

and was a ready sale at 40s. Maize still droops.

account, and additional vessels

unsettled condition
of political affairs in that

quarter. Inquiry, arisin no doubt from this
circumstance, is e°ntiltued for various descrip-

tions of steam vessels, yet a very short time m

determine the extent of the real demand. Should
it be of any magnitude the value of suitable
steamers cannot .fail to be affected advantage-
ously, more' ',particularly from the diminished
supply in our market. of really available steam
vessels. The salts of second-hand steam'property.
for ordinary purposes, in June,have been unusu-
ally limited; and the geheral demand is still very
sluggish. In freightage the only change notable
has been engagements for Mediterranean fruit
cargoes, for which several steamers are still
required at fair rates. New building contracts
have also been few in number, although embrac-
ing several thousand tons in the aggregate. The
new vessels an builders' hands for sale having
become gradually reduced, comparatively' few
properties of this description are now disposable.,
Naturally the settlement of political difficulties,
and renewed confidence in monetary affairs,
would materially tend to improve the prospects
of the steam-shipping interest in all its branches.
