There is a heavy market for Railway Shares, and
the general decline in prices is to per cent. The
lines most dealt in are Great Western, Lancashire,
and Yorkshire, South-Western, and Midland. The
French shares are without much alteration. The
aggregate dealings in mines, banks, and land shares,
are limited.
