The railway share market is strengthened by the
expectation that the reaswal of debentures will
henceforth be effected on easier terms. Preference
and guaranteed railway stocks, especially the Indian
descriptions, eve firmly held, in the belief that these
securities will ere long come into increased favour.
Holders argue that, apart from the political anxie-
ties of the day, the ooestsnt demand for investment
on the pert of the public must mutually, now that
the money market has resumed a settled appear.
an exercise a decided influence upon this and other
departments of the market.
In another column will be found the government

At a general meeting of the shareholders of the,
Magdalena Steam Navigation Company, held yester-
day, it was resolved that the directors shall take the

It appears that the dithoalttes of the navigation of the
Magdalena River have proved greater than was anti-
cipated, and the steamers of the company have met
with various disasters. As without an increase of
capital the undertaking could not be carried oa, it
was deemed advisable to bring it to a elms.
At the annual meeting of the Trait end Loan
Company of Upper Canada, held yesterday, the report,
recommending a dividend at the rate of 7* per cent.
I -2r minim, was adopted. After adding to the reserve

this fund is now raised to 9,8171.

FItIPAY EVINIMO.

In face of a decided improvement in the money
market, the funds show heaviness. Prices closed to-
day I percent. lower than yesterday. The check arises
almost solely from apprehensions that the dispute
with America is becoming more complicated. The
statement that the President of the United States has
decided upon recognisiog the gowsoset of Gwent
Walker in Nicaragua gives rise to entsiderable dis-
cussion. The Coosol market Is readmed the more
sensitive at present by the eppreash ot the monthly
settlement. The disposition of the poblie to absorb
stock at present prices is, bower, still very decided,
and will be stimulated by t►e diminished indseesteate
now offered to plain mossy oat "on all."
The Lombard-street discount houses to-day lowed
the rate allowed by them for money "ca all" from
to 41 per Dent. _ _

In th's discount market tc.day there was a seed
demand foe sooommodation at the reduced rates now
established. In the Stock Rae/hear some demand
wee stimulated by today's settlement in the shun
sad tonip stock markets, and mosey commanded
' 4 to 6 per sent. on government securities. The
11 London and Westminster Bank lent mosey today to
some extent on stack.
