There was more movement in the English stocks
to-day, but the market was rather weaker in tone,
and occasion was taken of the unfavourable inter-
pretation put upon the Cape news to put prices a
quarter per oent. lower in the afternoon, at which
deduction the market left off, with a dull appearance.
Couple opened 100 to 1 for money, and 1005 to 1 for
the 13th October, and closed, according to the offi.
cial amount, at 991 to 100, and 100 to 5 respec-
tively ; but after the regular hours, the market was
still a shade worse, the quotation being only 995 to
fee cub, and 5 more for time. The account has
bum dosed quiet v, tomorrow being pay-day. In the
ether home stock;the transactions were rather more
unnerons, as is usual on the approach of the period
foe the abutting of the transfer books. Bank stock
does not maintain its late improvement, being last
duo this afternoon at 227. The list of actual busi-
ness is as follows :-Three per Cent. Cornwall, for
100, 5, 991, 1001, 100; ditto, for account,
13th ~ 1004, 100. Three per Cent. Reduced,
1005, 5, 1,5, New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1044, 1, 1. Long Annuities, 1860, 64; ditto
30 years, 1839, 6a. Bank Stock, 229, 228, 227.
Exchequer Bills are very quiet. The March
issue is worth 735. to 765. prem.; ditto June, 68s. to
71a, prem.. India...Benda were spin rather lower,
marking 85e. to 87a. prem.
Business in the foreign house was moderately
active, and generally this department presents an
improved appearance. Mexican, Portuguese, Peru-
vian Deferred, Austrian Scrip, and Turkish, all
realised higher prices. Mexican bonds reached 251,
and closed firm. Peruvian Deferred went up to 67,
being a rise of no less than 10 per cent. from the
extreme point of the late depression. This advance
is consequent upon the confidence felt by holders in
the more authentic intelligence which we have been
enabled to furnish, added to the fact that very in-
fluential purchasers are in the market. Austrian
scrip rallied to 6 prem., the ostensible cause being the
fall in the Vienna exchange, and the improvement on
that bourse anticipated to result from the issue of
the new loon. That an improvement should result
from the imposition of a further burden on the em-
pire would, under ordinary circumstances, be consi-
cered a singular anomaly ; but the fact only affords
another illustration of the hand-to-month system that
prevails with the Austrian government, and of the
rottenness of the basis aeon which the credit of the
empire stands. The chief business of the day was in
the Turkish loan, which was carried up to 91 prom.,
subsequently fell to 74, and was last quoted rather
better again at 74 to 75 prem. To-day's bargains
are thus stated :-Austrian Five per Cent. Scrip, 51,
5, 6 prem. Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1024;
ditto New Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip, 2, 25
prem. Chilian Three per Cents., 74. Danish Five

Bordeaux and Cctte Railway shares are quoted 11
to 15 prem.; French Crystal Palace shares, 4 to 14
prem.
A new French railway is being brought out in
this market. The line in question is from Beziers to
Greissessae, joining the Bordeaux and Cette line, also
just conceded, at Beziers. The concession is obtained,
the caution money paid in, and the proprietors of
the immense coal mines of! Grainessac have already
proposed a treaty securing to the railway a minimum
of transport of 100,000 tons per annum-a quantity
which is expected to be shortly doubled. The great
object of the line is the formation of a direct com-
munication between the rich coal mining districts of
Graissessac and Agde and Marseilles, the naval port
of Toulon, and the southern seacoast, this coal having
been officially declared better adapted for steam-ships
than any other French description. The capital required
is 720,00 W. in 201. shares; interest at the rate of
4 percent. is to be paid/during the construction. In
anticipation of the announcement of the
project,
business has already been done in the shares in the
Stock Exchange at 1 to 1 prem.
Advict-s received from Paris this afternoon mention
that the English deputation now in that capital re
specting the affairs of the old Bordeaux and Cette
Railway are to have an audience of the President of
tho Republic at the Palace of St. Cloud to morrow
(this day).
With reference to the new Austrian loan of eight
millions sterling, understood to be in contemplation,
a letter from Vienna, dated the 3rd inst., and pub-
lished in the Voss Gazette, dates u follows : _

The loan will, it is said, be 'contracted for in London in
the course of this month. The bankers, Bethmann and
doldamidt, of Friinkf.trt ; Stone, of London ; end Heimann,
of Breslau ; are here, and hale frequent conferences with
the Minister of Finance.

This statement appears to be founded upon a mis-
conception, as all the other accounts that have
reached us indicate that the now loan will be raised
within the Austrian empire by each means as the
government may have it in its power to employ,
there being virtually no market for any such issue
elsewhere. We can state that no member of the
banking firm of Messrs. Martin, Stone, and Martin, i
of Lombard-street, is engaged in any such mission.
Business in Bank shares this week has been
more active, and prices are very firm. Commercial
