The tendency of the railway share market appears

beneficially affected by the

The remarks made by Lord Palmerston last night,
with reference to the progress of the Conferences,
tended rather to check the sanguine feeling previously
entertained in some quarter., and occasioned a rees-
don of 1 per oent. in the funds this morning. A
recovery subsequently took place, bat the latest quo-
tations were still per cent. below those of yester-
day. In general character, however, the market
remiss very steady. The investments of the public
continue, and no doubt can be entertained that the
new stock arising from the loan will be rapidly
absorbed. The impression produced by the speech
of the Emperor of the French is decidedly favour-
able. The market is chiefly restrained from im-
provement by the continued dearness of money. In
the Stock Exchange comparative ease prevails, bat in
the discount market to-day there was an unusually
dative demand, although preparations had been made
iptevfously against the mass of bills falling due to-
day (the 4th of the month).
