The Great Northern Railway Company have
issued a notice inviting tenders, to be lodged be-
fore 10 a.m. on the 6th June, for 431,3601. of 5
per cent. Permanent Preference stock, being the
balance of the stock created by the resolutions of the
extraordinary general meeting of the 25th August
last. The stook is to be sold to the highest bidders,
but " tenders from registered proprietors of any
stock of the company will be accepted in prefer-

HALF-rust Taass o CiocK.

Consols have recovered the fall of ito I per
cent. which took place this morning, the present
quotations being 93 to I, with div., for money, and
91i to I, ex div., for the account.
The market in railway stocks is, to a great
extent, in the hands of speculators, the public still
holding aloof, until railway financial engagements
shall be placed on a sounder basis. It is feared
that the arrangements now rendered necessary
will make a reduction in the dividends of many
companies inevitable. Ultimately this clam of pro-
perty will be benefited, but for a time the proprietors
will probably have to submit to a diminution of
income.

A further decided improvement took place yes-
terday afternoon in the foreign exchanges, espe-
cially as regards bills on Holland, Hamburg, and
Frankfort, and short drafts on Paris. With the

of those places. Yesterday afternoon's list is an-
