RAILWAY SHARES.

The half-monthly settlement in shares passed otf
satisfactorily on Wednesday last, but the state of the
accounts showed an ample supply of stock, and the
prices drooped afterwards in consequence. Specula- '
Lion is almost paralysed by the high rates for money
now ruling. The total amount of the railway calls
falling due in the course of October is a little over
one million sterling, of which 380,0001. is on account
of the London and North-Western line, 270,0001. for
Midland, and 135,0001. for the Royal Danish. The
aggregate sum already called up during the present
year is 11,197,0001.
Under the new Stamp Act all dividend warrants
issued by public companies, and requiring the signa-
tures of the parties to whom they are payable, must
bear the penny receipt stamp. if payable at a future
day they require proportionate stamps as bills of ex-
change.
This afternoon's prices of shares in the principal
lines have been :—Caledonian, 651 i x d ; Great
Northern, 861 7; Great Western, 711 1 ; Lancashire
end Yorkshire, 711 1 • London and Brighton, 1031 4 ;
London and North-Western, 1014; Midland (1001.
paid), 691; North British, 324 1; Oxford and Wol-
verhampton, 331; South Devon, 131; South-Eastern,
631. Crystal Palace shares continue dull, and were
last quoted at 21 3.
