At W Mansion VOW, yeetteday there was a meet-

In consequence of the extraordhaey delays which
mar in the transfer department of the Great
Northern Railway Company, the Ikea Exchange
Committee, with a view to the of their

particular ease, tithe eediaary Stock Exikange rules

each buyer will obtain, before parties with his
mousy, the company's ;filial esedfisate that the
esouril purehased is genuine. la the event of the
Great Northern officials not inesiedietely aseslarating
the despatch of the business esanseted with trans.
fere, it le Mated that the Slosh Fachaege Committee
will proceed to stronger measure.. Great Northern
stock has declined in eisoerceiesee.
Highly favourable reports have been circulated for
some weeks past, relative to the improved position and
forthcoming dividend of the Great Western Railway
Company. The development of the troths is stated
to be prosseding very satisfactorily. Daring 24
weeks of the mama half-year the aggregate receipts
ea the main hoes amount to 704,0824, showing the
important increase of 68,0294, compared with those
for the earreepoodiag period of last year. But it is
to the growing reissue from the Shrewsbury lines
that the shareholders look with chief satisteetiou.
The increase upon those sections of the undertak-
ing animate to about 20 per coat., as coos.
with the corresponding period of 1866.
oared
s also stated that the last section of this
company's Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line,
from Yeovil to Weymouth, will be ready for thrills
about the end of the present month, thus completing
the soestrustion of all the lines projected by the
miespeny. Assuming this to be the ease, the position
of this property will be more definitely understood;
and it may be ressosably hoped that the energies of
the directors will be exclusively directed to that all-
important object—the development of the traffic with
economy of expediter& Railway receipts, it is
tree, show only one side of the picture: the details
of the expenses sr* reserved for publication at
a later date. Upon the whole, however, there seems
every ground for hope that a bright., future is
opening for the Great Western proprietors. These
fruits of the reform movement, inaugurated some
months back, should Oa.oollriall the shareholders to
remover" in their vigilance. All that is now required
to raise this great undertaking to its proper position
swept the metropolitan track lines is the caretal
development of its whole system of traffic, and the
avoidance of that injudicious policy of extension which
bee kept the company's securities so long at an ex-
@optimally low stale in the railway market.
By recent advises from the United States we learn
that the various emendate of the Michigan
Southern Railroad are Miss rapidly pushed forward.
By the completion last mouth of that part of the
Fort Wayne end Chicago railroad lying between
Fort Wayne and Plymouth (86 miles), the Michigan
Southern becomes the last link in a direct chain of
communication between Philadelphia and Chicago,
by way of Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, Plymouth, and
Laporte. Before the end of the year the Michigan
Southern line will also be coseeded, through the
opening of the Detroit and Toledo Railroad, with
the Great Western Railway of Canada, when there
is little doubt it will share, slang with the Michigan
C:ntral,a large portion of the Great Western traffia.
The completion of the Goshen breach, which will
take place about the ease time with that of the
Detroit and Toledo road, will provide the shortest
route between the Great Western Railway of Canada
and Chicago.

The stook markets to day
.wan inactive, but very
Arm. The chief movement was in the funds, which
gradually strengthened during the day, and were
quoted after the regular hours I per sent better than
yesterday. English and foreign railway shares were
quiet, but steady. The impression moms to be gain-
ing ground that the value of money will not be long
maintained at 6 per cent. After the turn of the year,
whoa large sums will be released, it is hoped that •
farther reduction in the rates will take plass. This
view seems to be corroborated by the tendency of the
dimwit market. In Lombard-street today, the
usual active demand in anticipatirm of Christmas was
witnessed, and the Bank terms were generally
meted; bat in other quarters geed bills were readily
dieeminted at a redaction from the Bank minimum.
In the Stock Exchange the current rate for Wane
on Commis from day to day is about 6 per mat.
Consols opened at yesterday's closing quotation of
