Outward freights to India and China are firmer,
and an improving demand for tonnage is giving
the rates an upward tendency, particularly for
salt to Calcutta, 43s 6d having been paid for two
ships with consignment. Homewards the busi-
ness is quite nominal, and our quotations cannot
be exceeded. West Indian and Brazilian freights
are exhausted, and vessels can now only be placed
at very low rates. Mediterranean and Pacific
trades are unaltered and inactive. Freights to
U. S. ports are without quotable change from '-
week.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day
the Funds exhibited increased depression, owing
to the disquieting tenor of the intelligence from
Italy, and the downward tendency was confirmed
by the receipt of lower prices upon the Paris
Bourse.

The Funds closed at the following prices :
Consols Money

Exchequer Bills
Bank Stock
Three per Cents -...
Next Account
The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday : .

The English funds have shown a considerable increase
of heaviness, which has extended to all other branches
of business. The news that Naples has been declared
in a state of siege, coupled with the various reports
regarding the intentions of Austria, and the prospects of
an early renewal of war between that country and Sar-
dinia, were the main influences in operation. Only
£4,000 was withdrawn from the Bank.—Times.
The threatening attitude assumed by Austria has
confirmed the downward tendency of the English funds,
consols having fallen t per cent., and closed at the
lowest point of the day. It is alleged that Austria is
emboldened by the understanding at which she bas just
arrived with Prussia, to anticipate the projected move-
ment of Garibaldi against Venetia by taking more
immediate action. The question as to the suture policy
of France consequently meets with more 'Attention.
Financial causes are also affecting the funds, The
general money market is less easy, and the prospects of
the autumn are viewed with some misgiving. In Most
of the *thee departments of the Stock Exchange the
tendency of prices was likewise downwards. The dis-
count market has become rtAer tight. The demand for
American securities has been e&tiye during the past
week.—. Daily News.

The LONDON RAILWAY SIIARE MARKET' tO-40

dealers all being engaged with the settlement.

The following appeared in our der editions of
yesterday :
The railway market opened firmly, bat afterwards
receded, partly in sympathy with consols, and partly
from the increased supply of stock brought forward by
the late rise. Berwick and Sheffield, however, were
exceptionally erna•—riv"
In British railway stocks p Little more firmness was
observable towards four o'clock, owing to reports that
the traffic returns of several of the principai com-
panies will be very encouraging. The London and
North-Western Railway traffic returns show an increase
of £8,497 this week.—Daily News.
