LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day there
was still no movement of the slightest interest
in the Funds. Business was very languid, and
Consols were quoted the same as yesterday. The
British Railway Share Market was equally quiet,
speculation being almost suspended ; prices were
generally well supported. Canadas were dull.
The market closed at the following prices :

The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The Times says a report was circulated yesterday that
some steps have been taken in Canada to bring the
affairs of the Grand Trunk Railway to a crisis, by
placing them under legal adjustment. The shares
receded to 26f to 27. The general railway market was
dull during the greater part of the day, Init improved
after regular hours.
English funds inactive, although the political accounts
am/ear on the whole pacific, and there has been. a
stronger tone in the Paris Bourse. No tendency to
improvement has been manifested in the discount mar-
ket ; there was a steady demand at 4 per cent., but not
such as to lead to any expectation that the Bank Court
will resolve upon an upward movement on Thursday
next. In the stock eithange the rate remains 2to 2i
per cent. There were again no withdrawals of gold
from the Bank, but the arrivals from Australia will be
necessary in the course of a few days to prevent further
amounts being taken. In the foreign exchanges this
afternoon there was no change of importance from the
prices of last post.—Times' City Article.
The funds reniaiii dull. Any tendency to improve-
, ment which might have been occasioned by the rise on
the Paris Bourse, and by the continued absence of
gold withdrawals from the Bank, was restrained by a
further supply of stock. From the character of the
sales, which extend to Indian Government securities, it
is surmised in some quarters that they are partly in
preparation for the New Indian Loan. Consols closed
at yesterday's prices. The share markets, though
inactive, were firmer in the afternoon. Lancashire and
Yorkshire, and Midland stocks were in chief request.
The principal eidepticins to the, prevailing firmness were in
Southern, Eastern, and Grand Trunk of Canada railway
stock. An unsettled feeling still obsertable in the-dis-
count market, and although the best sort of bills may
be negotiated a fraction below the Bank minimum, the
rates in many cases are somewhat irregular. A fair
amount of business was done at the Bank. The foreign
exchanges this afternoon were rather dull—Daily News'
CO _article.
