WILDNEVDAT EVIKING.
The Conr.,l market has at length made a decided
movement. The price opened at yesterday's range,
but purchasers for investment came in, and it went
up to 100; closing with a steady appearance at
1001 to hr;thloe money _sad the 13th inst. Us
purchases were mainly for cash, and thus it was a
feature of the market that the price of money stock
was temporarily a shade higher than that fur deli-
very a week hence. Under these circumstances the
cause of the improvement may be fairly attributed to
the anticipation of the dividend payments, which
will commence on the 13th inst., and the operation
of which is now beginning to be felt by the market,
after a prolonged period of dulness. The only other
stock dealt in was India stock at 278.

The unfunded securities experienced no change in
price. The March Exchequer Bills were quoted
70s. to 735. prem ; ditto June, 68s. to 71s. prem.

In the foreign house no animation was perceptible.

and Mexican do not rally. Brazilian Old Fives
reached 102, being a decided improvement, consider-
ing that the dividend is only just off; but the scrip
of the Now Four-and-a-Half per Cent. loan realised
1 prem. only. la Peruvian stocks there were a good
many transactions, but the operations of buyers and
sellers were nearly balanced. The list of actual sales

The " Western Islands and Mediterranean Screw
Steam Shipping Company" has been started with a
view to providing a more speedy and certain means
of transit than at present exists for the dry and
penfrults imported into this country. The fruit
trade is one of great importance and extent, so that
there can be no doubt of the traffic being ample.
Fruit being such a perishable article, it is obviously
necessary to effect its conveyance as speedily as pos-
sible, ana in this respect the screw affords very re-
markable facilities. The project is supported by the
chief members of the trade, and there appears no rea-
son to doubt its achieving the success which has uni-
formly attended the operations of well-conducted
steam-boat companies. The capital is fixed at
203,0001., in 201. shares, but no more than 101. per
share will be called up without the consent of a
general meeting of the shareholders.
