MONDLT ETZMINO.

The Sleds opened this morning at a recovery of
nearly per cent., the conciliatory tone of the latest
despatches from Mr. Marcy being regarded sa ren-
dering war between England and the United States
more than ever improbable. As respects the *aw-
-1
meat question, it is pointed out that the most
threatening feature of the chapati is removed by Mr.
Maroy's declaration that he considers the British
government exonerated. His admission of the pro-
posal to refer to arbitration some of the points in-
volved in the Central American misunderstanding

interpreted as auguring equally well for
the amicable settlement of this difficulty.
This favourable view of the political aime-
d= induced further purchases in the afternoon, and
the fonds finally closed per cent higher than on
Saturday. Throughout the day the market wore a
very strong appearance. For some time peat the
American quarrel has formed the chief check to the
upward coarse of prices, which quickly respond to
laity improvement in the political horizon.
There was a good demand for money today, owing
chiefly to the settlement in @harm and foreign stooks•
In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans on

In the foreign stock market the chief feature woe
as increased demand for Turkish securities, which

The ecru market to-day was quiet, but firm. The

The smallness of the stocks and the unnatistasteey

The case of the Asaigness of George Burke (a
bankrupt) ti. Sheppard and Sous," to which we re-
ferred some weeks beck, has again come on before the
Lord Chancellor in Dahlia, and judgment is to be
given on Saturday next. It will be remembered that
the point raised is whether the defendants are enti-
titled to retain upon the file the proof which they
mode against the bankrupt's estate, the soignees
asserting that the claim is barred in consequence of
being founded upon trust:clime which come under
the revisions of the Stock Jobbing Act. The ease is
watched with interest by the members of the
Loodou Stock Exchange; for, if the Lord Chan-
t:slices decision be adverse to the defendants,
Loudon stockbrokers will be exposed to heavy
lasses. One of the peculiarities of the ease,
which has been before the Dublin law oourts
for nearly three years, consists in the fact that
the Commissioner of the Bankruptcy Court, after
giving the closest attention to the arguments on both
sides, decided unreservedly in favour of the dotes-'
dents. The assignee is Mr. Machines, the inspector',
of the National Bank of Ireland, who are the largest
and almost the sal creditors of the estate. The Fa.
