At the adjourned meeting of the Royal Swedish
Railway Company yesterday, the resolution proposed
by Mr. O. E. Seymour was unanimously carried, to
the effect that the new directors shall have power to
issue 83,330 new preference shares, bearing 7 per
cent interest for live years, and 8 per cent. after-
wards. A deposit of 11, is to be paid on allotment,
and a call of IL at the expiration of four months.
These fends are to be applied to defraying the imme-
diate liabilities of the company, completing tie 46
miles to Orebro, and redeeming about 200,00 W. worth
of capital in shares and obligations now held as neon-
rity for loans. The new directors undertake to make
no further calls until after the next general meeting,
but state expressly that their tenure of 011109 must de-
pend upon the raising of these fends, which are indis-
pensable to the liquidation of outstanding claims and to
the resuscitation of the company. Another resolu-
tion was also passed, authorising the board to apply
for an amended concussion from the Swedish govern-
ment. The opinion is again strongly expressed that
the loss of the 4 per cent. guarantee need net be con-
sidered disadvantegeous to the company, Inasmuch
as that arrangement involved the surrender of the
line to the state after 40 years from the date of the
completion of the works. As matters now stand, the
proprietors will retain it as a freehold. The directors
also urge that, although they were willing to await
an easier money market before completing the whole
on retire, they are convinced that the fall value of
the undertaking cannot be properly developed until
the entire line shall have been constructed. Mr.
Austen, of Ryde Park-square, who is a large share-
holder, was elected a director, and considerable satis-
faction appeared to be generally expressed at the de-
finitive constitution of the new board.
A meeting of the holders of vouchers for the un-
funded Spanish Coupons was held yesterday. The
chairman, Sir John Fitzgerald, M.P., said that their
object was to form an active committee, who would
urge upon the Spanish government the necessity of
at once settling the urgent claims of the ooupon-
holders. Under existing arrangements, to which the
holders only consented under protest, they lose 60 per
oent, of their claims. Bir John said he considered the
time now favourable, when Spain was so anxious to
see quoted oa oar Exchange many of her industrial
undertakings, by which her condition is likely to be
much improved. After some observations from several
gentleman, a resolution was passed to the effect that
the law in respect to the coupons was agreed to
under protest, and did not preclude the holders from
claiming the whole amount due to them. A com-
mittee was appointed to urge the case of the credi-
tors on the Spanish government ; and with a vote
of thanks to the chairman the meeting adjourned.
The London and Eastern Banking Corporation
have opened a branch office at 44, Mark-lane.

TVISDAT ETILIMIO.

The funds showed some flatness this morning, but
'in the afternoon a decidedly improved feeling pre-
vailed. At 4 o'clock the money of 3 per cent.,
which was established after the recognised hours
yesterday afternoon, was fully maintained, and at a
later hour a further rally of k per cont. was quoted.
The market finally closed with firmer. This
favourable change was partly caused by the more
oonfident belief that the position of the Ministry is
not imperilled by the debate on the Kars question ;
but the impression was stronger in well-informed
quarters to-clay that the forthcoming loan will be
altogether moderate in amount. The influx of gold
into the Bank also forms a very favourable feature.
Today's rally was the more remarkable, inas-
much as it occurred in the face of an unusually heavy
demand for money, which caused as much as 7 per
cent, to be paid in some cues for short loans on Con-
sols. The pressure appears to have been chiefly for
Stock Exchange purposes, in connexion with the
settlement now in progress in the share and foreign
stock markets.

Consols opened this morning at 924 to 3 for the
Bth of May, receded to 92 to 4, and were quoted at
four o'clock 921 to 4. 'Subsequently the prim was
called 921 to 4. For money the quotation ruled
per cent. below these rates. The official business re-
port is as follows:—Than per Cant. Consols, for
money, 92, 924, 911, 924, 911, 921, 92; ditto, far so-
nnet, Bth May. 921, 92, 921. Three per Cant.

Owing to the pressure for money in the house, the
unfunded securities were dull. The March Exchequer
Bills were quoted 2s. die. to 21. prem. ; and the
June Bills 6s. to 21. dis.; Exchequer Bonds were
quoted 98 to 1.
In the foreign stcok market the chief change in
price was in Mexican, which showed renewed flat-
ness. Turkish stocks were decidedly steadier,
although exhibiting little actual rally. The Six per
Cents. closed 4 in neat. better than yesterday, at 98
to 4ex die. for the 30th inst., and the Guaranteed
Four per Cents. at 1001 to 1014. Spanish Deferred
Three per Cants. were firmer.
