The railway share market to-day is quiet, bat
steady. Great Western stock, however, has been
rather largely dealt in, and maintains yesterday's
rise. Loudon and North Western stock is a shade
flatter, at 100} to 1011; but other stocks support
the final quotations of yesterday.
Ardennes, Royal Swedish, and Northern of France
shares are all better.
