WIDNIIIDAT
'lnes English funds were steady during the greater
pet d the day, but late in the afternoon sellers
eared more freely, and a slight reduction in prices
was submitted to. Anxiety continues to be ex-
premed auto the result of the debates on the budget,
which, so far, appear to threaten the existence of the
ministry. It is probable that the great demand for
money in the Stock Exchange, in connexion with the
settlement of the share account, may also have had
some influence.

The settlement of the account in the foreign stock

can were heavy. Sardinian Benda were also flat.

The Great North of Scotland Railway Company
is in the market to raise • capital of 300,0001., in
shares of 101. each, by an issue of Fire per Cent. first
Preference Shares. The line is at first to be carried
from Aberdeen to Elgin only.

The Second Chamber of the States General of
Holland has just adopted, by 37 votes against I. the
bill relative to the conversion of the Four per Cent.
Debt. By the terms of the law, as at present de-
cided upon, the government will have the power of
converting the 4 per cent. into a 31 per cent, stock at
a minimum rate of 99 per cent., or into a 31 per
cent. stock at a minimum of 97 per cent.
Satisfaction is felt by the holders of French
shares at the expressed intention of Louis Napoleon's
government to make future concessions of railways
upon a more sparing scale. This measure was indeed
absolutely required, in order to check the rush of
speculators who, without considering the capabilities
of the market, are promoting railway projects
to a vast extent, many of them doubtless
calculated ultimately to be of great benefit,
but yet to temporarily produ, e a very injurious effect
upon the money market and trade generally, owing
to their absorbing so much capital. The amount of
eapital required for the lines, concessions for which
have already been applied for, is no less than seventy
millions sterling. It is understood the government
has expressed its intention to give priority, in future
cososesions, to such lines as contemplate the forma-
fioe of useful branches to railways already conceded.
The silver brought in by the West India steamer
Medway has been sold at 4s. 113 d. per oz. for dol-
lars, and sa. lid. per oz. standard for the bar silver.
This latter price shows a reduction of id. compared
with the last sales. These supplies appear to have I
been almost entirely taken for the Continent, the
Indian demand being less brisk.
There was again considerable movement in the
market for iron to-day, and the price of Scotch pig,
which the day before yesterday ruled at 675. 6d.,

per ton.

The direction of the Dutch Rhenish Railway have

Au extraordinary general meeting of the share-
headers of the Trost and Loan Company of Upper
Canada was held yesterday, at the offices in Moor-
sate-street. The object of the meeting being to de.
Blare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
e• the company's stock for the six months ending
Sept. 30, no other business was transacted, but state-
ments were read to the meeting which evince a
great and increasing prosperity in Canada, the popu-
lation having in the western section of the province
doubled itself in the last ten years, during which
period a vast increase of cultivated land has taken
plane. The fleeting was subsequently made special,
to authorke the borrowing of further sums of money,
in accordanee with the act of incorporation of the
ecaipaay.
