The railway share market this morning opened
with a sponger appearance, and higher prices were
in many cases established. A re-action then took
place, and the purest quotations exhibit in several
instances • decline or I to i per cent, compared
with the closing rates of yesterday. Great Western
stock is now quoted 60 to 1, ex div.; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 92 to 1, ex div.; London and South
Western, 471 to per share, ex div.; Great
Northern, 261 to j, ex dir.; and Eastern Coun-
ties, 12 1-16 to 3.16, ex div. As we write the
appearance of the market is again rather firmer.
Great Luxembourg shares are better. Great
Western of Canada also meet with some inquiry.
French shares have improved in answer to the
prices just received from Paris.

NOMCY MARKE2-2 HIS DAY.

Two o'CLourt.

n • fundserined this morning at an advanos of
nearly 1 per oent., which, however, has not been
supported to the present hour, although the price,
of the French hinds come better from
Paris this morning. Consols are now quoted 1 per
cent, lower than at four o'clock yesterday. The
government broker has made fresh investments.l
The weekly court at the Bank hes broken up with-
out altering the rate of discount.
Consohi for the Bth of April were first marked 971,
and are now quoted 961 to 97. For money the
present quotation is 961 to 1, but transactions were
recorded earlier in the day as high as 971.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt
in at 971 to 1 ; the New Three per Cents.,
at 971 to 971; Bank Stock at 225 to 2261;
Exchequer Bills at 38s. to 41s. prem. ; and India
Bonds, at 30s. preen., being very firm.
Turkish Six per Cents., after being marked 10211
have relapsed to 1011 to 102. The Guaranteed
Four per Cents. are sensibly better. Russian
Stooks are also inquired for. In other
foriegn securities scarcely any business has been
done. Sales are recorded as follows :—Peruvian
Four and-a-Half per Cents. for account (March 16,)
801 ; Russian Five per Cents, 109 to 1091, ex div. ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 991 to 100 ;
Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 91;
Turkish Six per Cents., 1021 to 102 ; ditto
for account (March 16),1021 to 102; ditto Guaran-
teed Four per Cents., 1041 to 1041 ditto for ec-
°cunt, 1041 to 1041.

At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69.40 for the end of March, showing an
improvement of fully i per cent. The telegram
describes the Bourse S. " firm, in consequence of the
rise in London."

The Australian 'dykes mention the shipment for
England, by sailing vessels, of 122,735 ounces of,
gold, worth 490,9001.

About 20,0001. in gold was yesterday sent into the
Bank.

For the first time for many months, a fair amount
of discount business was done yesterday at the Bank.
In the open market likewise a good demand is ex-
perienced, but first-clan bills can be discounted to
any extent at 21 per cent., and, in exceptional cases,
below that rate. .

At Hamburg the rate of dbioount remains at li
per cent.

The Bombay mail is not expected to be delivered
in London before Monday next.
The next mail steamer for the Cape of Good Hope
is expected to take out about 40,0001. in gold on
government account.
In addition to the 188,5771. in specie and bullion
known to have been shipped on board the steamer
Indus for the East, a further sum of 15,0001. in
silver was yesterday vent to Southampton for expor-
tation by this vessel.
The corn market yesterday was very inactive, and
unchanged in price. Owing to the continuance of
easterly winds, the number of floating cargoes of
grain arrived at ports of call winos last Friday is
only five.
The continental advice,' indicate no alteration of
importance in the exchanges on London. At Vienna,
however, the tendency of the rates is still down-
wards. At Amsterdam on Tuesday the exchange on
London was quoted 11.671 for short bills ; at Ham-
burg, 13.31 for short, and 13.11 for 3 months; at
Berlin, 6.19; and at Vienna, 10.15. . _

In Conseqnence of the opinion of the directors of
the Ottoman Bank, as exprosed at the last general
meeting, that it is essential for a sound basis for
the operations of the bank, that a large reserve fund
should at once be formed, the court have resolved to
recommend to the shareholders at the approaching
meeting, that the balance standing to the credit of
the profit and loss account, including the profits of
the past half-year, be carried to a reserve fund.
The London and North-Western Railway traffic
return exhibits this week a decrease of 3,7241.,
compared with that for the corresponding week of
last year • the Great Northern, a decrease of 6911. •
the Great Western, a decrease of 3011. ; and the
London and South-Western, a decrease of 3661.

The Council of Adminiitration of the General
Bank of Switzerland advertise a dividend on the
2nd Coupon at the rate of SE per share, being on
acconnt of the dividend of 1867-1868. It is mentioned
that " this Coupon, due on the lit of April next,
will be deducted from the call due on let of
March."

In the Bankruptcy Court the settlement of the list
of contributories of the West Ham Distillery Com-
pany (Limited) is to be proceeded with on the 26th
=tint.

Mr. Edward Vittery was yesterday appointed agent
for Lloyd's at Brixham.
The Admiralty have taken up the ships Glen Tilt,
Westboro, and. lane, respectively, for the con-
veyance of stares to Bermuda, Hoog Bong, and St.
Helena.

-----
The prospects of the sugar market are thus re-
ferred to in the circular of Messrs. Trueman and
Rouse:

The imports for the tint two months of the year have been
slightly In mese of those in the same period of 1867, not-
withstanding the long prevalence of easterly winds, but there
has been at the same time • good demand for home constunp-
non' which has taken off 60,600 against 45,700 tons, so
that the stock continues to show a falling off, being now only
70,400 against 86,200 tons on the let of January, but u-
hibiting an increase of about 13,000 tons as compared with
the very reduced stock on the Ist of March, 1857. The high
prices which have prevailed daring the put two years have
doubtless operated as a serious check on the consumption,
sot only of this country, but of the Continent of Europe- and
of the United States, and there is no doubt that the recent
return to a more moderate point will again stimulate con-
teseption in all quarters ; and it therefore becomes a matter of
importance to ascertain as nearly as possible the extent of the
supply to meet each expected increase. The most recent ad-
vice. are for the most part favourable se to the future pros-
pects of the crops; end although the animates from some
quarters are as this period still open to considerable modifies-
dm we think that an increase of 100,000 tone in the pro-
duction of ow sugar is not at all improbable, that of
Louisiana alone being put down at nearly that 6gnre. Bat
it and not be forgotten that larger supplies than nand will
be required by, and have already been sent to, colonial mar-
kets, Mauritius alone having furnished Australia with nearly
10,000 tons more than last year at the same period. By the
Board of Trade tables It appears that the consumption of
WWI In the United Kingdom, including raw and refined,
and reducing molasses in the canal proportion, was in the
Liar 392,401 tone, against 390,679 In 1856, 399,641

With reference to the market for hides and leather,
Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell report u follows :
An average amount of business has been done in leather
throughout the past • month. At its commencement them
was oorridereble activity in the demand, but them encourag-
ing itymptome have somewhat subsided during the latter
part of the month. The requirements of the army con-
tractors continue large, bat the wants of the trade in general
have not sufficed to prevent some further diminution in the
prices of most articles. The remarkable dryness of the season
' has no doubt lessened the consumption of leather, and we
believe there has been a desire on the pert of dealers to limit
rather than extend business. These circumstances, however,
indicate the probability of a steady, if not a greater. demand
for the tame. In raw goods an increased business has been
done; but the market, instead of having the downward ten-
dency which leather ban generally shown, has been firmer,
and for many articles prices have decidedly advanced. River
Plate goods have been greatly reduced in stock, without the
of anearly addition to the supplies, but ell other
rum' continueextremely abundant. Market bides retain
nearly the quotations of last month. A beginning has bees
made, in Bermondsey , of the mode so sasotoelly adopted
in almost all the provincial large towns, of selling hides by
weight and by auction—a system which, we doubt not, will
be found equally adventagoom in the metropolis. Market
horse hides are unaltered. Market oaf gins are la. each lower.

W FONISOLT

The lands to-day were principally influenced by
the arrangements for the monthly settlement in
Consols. At one period a fresh decline of i percent.
was quoted, but it would appear that the depremion
was artificial, for immediately upon the conclusion
of the settlement of the " options" in Consols, a re-
bound of } per cent. took place. The closing quota-
tions were I per amt. above those of yesterday. The

government broker made another purchase of
20,000 k Redacted Thtee per Cent. *took at 971, and
other investments were made on banking aceramt.
Some speculative purchaseelfOr the April settlement,
effected in the afternoon, coupled with indications
of diminished heaviness on the Paris Bourse, like-
wise served to induce a firmer tendency. But
for a vague fear which prevails relative to the coulee
of affairs in France, a marked improvement would
probably be witnessed throughout the Stock Lx-
change. At present business is remarkably
stagnant

Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
961 to t for moneyand to-morrow's settlement,openW
this morning at the same quotation, rtceded to 981,
and closed at 96/ to For the Bth of April the

Russian and Sardinian Bonds continue to meet with
some business. Other foreign descriptions were
quiet. Peruvian Bonds are dull.
Bank shares to-do were quiet, at former prices,
The shares of the C Bank of India, Austra-
lia, and China were officially marked 7 to 71 (101.

shares in St. Day United, Tincroft, Vale of Towey,
East Wheal Russell, and Wheal Edward. Alfred
