RAILWAY NEWS.

There was less demand yesterday for French shares,
but, for some descriptions of English, the inquiry was more
general. On the whole, however, the market closed essen-
tially the same as on Tuesday. The greater activity obser-
vable in the early part of the day was, probably referable, in
a great measure, to the trifling advance which occurred in
Consols, but which was not maintained to the termination of
business.
There was a tolerably fair market at Liverpool, but hardly
as good as on the previous day. North British were higher.
In Huddersfield and Manchester there was at one time a
considerable decline, hut they rallied, and closed 31 to N.
Oxford and Birmingham and Dudley(' were both lower. '
At Manchester the share market was tamer and quieter
than on Tuesday ; but still a fair amount of business
was done. Prices were slightly tending downwards.
A considerable amount of business was transacted at Bir-
mingham ; in most of the lines prices having a tendency
upwards. Birmingham and Oxford Junctions receded, how-
ever, to 51. 18s. 9d. p., whilst Dudleys rose to 51. 3s. 9d. p.
Shropshire Unions were done at 1 dis. and North Stafford-
shires at 21. 6s. 3d. pm. There were calls also in the London
and North Western at 1994, and in Manchester and Bir-
mingham stock at 75. It was believed there was not the
slightest foundation for the report that the directors of the
London and North Western Company met in Birmingham
for the purpose of deciding on terms to be offered to the
Birmingham and Oxford Junction.
At Leeds the share market still continued active, and a
good amount of business was transacted; prices holding firm,
but without any discernible improvement.
The Bristol market was somewhat more active ; Caledo-
nian New, 21; Great Western New, 71; Midland New, 311;
North Staffordshire, 21p. • Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth,
31; York and North Midland (E. and W. Riding Exten-
sion), 154, 151 ; Great Western Steam Ship, 31.
At Hull the market varied very slightly. N. Stafford'
improved a little, and other stocks maintained their value.
