WIDMISDAY
The railway share market showed heaviness this
morai,g, but some reoovery took place towards the
sloes, is sympathy with Console. The elosiog quo-
tations wen.. howimir, in some 0.0911 still a trine
lower than those of Monday. This department eon.
tines neglected.

TBIS DAY.—Two o'CLocw.
The railway share market is firmer, owing to the
redaction in the Bank rate of discount, but the ad-
vance in prices is trifling, business continuing very
limited. London and North-Western stock is quoted
97 to ; Midland, 68 to 1; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
751 to 1; Great Western, 621 to 631; South-East-
erns. 171 to 1 ; Caledonians, 291 to 1; and Great
Northern., 22/ to 1.
French shams are a trifle better.

so long lw they cling to any hopes
of peace at Vienna, to face the necessity of a loan.
The omnium was quoted in the morning par to /
premium, and closed at /to 1 prem. The advantage
of exchanging Consols into omnium at present prices
is becoming more clearly recognised. Supposing the
money derived from a sale of Cowell: to be placed
at 3 per cent. interest pending the payment of
the instalments on the loan, it is estimated
that the exchange shows an advantage of upward. of
1 per cent. I° the event of the money "on call"
realising only 2 per cent., the advantage derivable
from the conversion is calculated to be still nearly /
per cent. This relative disproportion in price
between Consols and omnium will probably pass off
gradually, as exchanges from the old into the new
stock are being made daily, and tend to relieve the
market of the amount of omnium floating in the
Stock Exchange.
Consols opened at 88: to 1, declined to 881, and
closed at 88: to 4, both for money and the account
of the 10th inst. The official business report is as

able in 1858, 991, 4 ; ditto, 1859, 991, 1. Business
is also recorded in the newly-created Thirty Years'
Annuities at 18 3-113 per £.
Exchequer Bills were quoted 4s. to 7s. premium ;
lad India Bonds, 12s. to 16a. prem.
The unusually early peried—via., the lit June--at
which the transfer books are to close at the Bank of
England has given rise to some conversation, but it is
understood to be canard by the necessity of making
arrangements in connexion with the addition to the
national debt which is occasioned by the new loan.
The foreign stock market was dull.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Tuesday) the exchange
on London was quoted 11.871, at short; at Ham-
burg, 13.51; at Berlin, 6.171; and at Vienna, 12.24.
The Admiralty have ordered the ship Flying Fish

of calls be paid by the 7th June.
