In the Stock Exchange to-day the principal
feature is a further decided fall in British railway
securities upon speculative sales to a large extent,
induced by the recent disastrous report of the
committee of investigation of the Brighton Com-
pany, and the absence of any support to the
market by purchases on account of the public.
Great Eastern and London and North Western are
prominently heavy. Other securities are also fiat,
and the general tendency of prices is downwards,
notwithstanding the satisfactory returns just
issued by the Banks of England and France,
and the announcement of the arrival of a further
sum of nearly a quarter of a million sterling in
gold from New York. Consols have declined
per cent., and the speculative foreign stocks to
Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares

supply of money has increased. The charge for
choice bills is 21 per cent. Short loans in the
