PARIS, TIMIDLY ETINING.

At the Bourse there have been remarkable flootu-
Minns, bat a strong upward tendency, which neither
the enormous rates of continuation (which from 80c.
yesterday have reached lfr. 10e. today) nor the fall
of $ in Cor @As could keep down, resulted in a fur-
ther considerable rise in the Rents. Atter opening
(for ash) at 69fr. 25e., the Threes closed at 69fr. 60c,
with a rise of 35e. Bet for account the prices were
much higher. At one moment the figure of 70k.
was quoted. The closing price was 69k. 950., being
a rise on the day of 800. Bank of France rose 6fr.
An enormous business was done in Austrian

railway shares, which rose 16fr. 25c. In French
railways business was not very active, bat (potations
were firm. Orleans roes 16fr.; Northern, 6fr.; and
other lines about 2fr. 60c.

It was reported at the Bourse that the signatures

The Monitnir publishes a deans fixing the import
duty on raw cotton brought from the entrepots by

I hear it said today, as • piece of exciting domestic
news, that in consequence of • misunderstandieg
with M. Fould, M. Armen* Hoossaye retires from the
direction of the Theatre Francais, and that be will
be esooseded by M. Empie, of the Academy. I ob-
serve, however, that the independence of Bruise's
states that M. Arson* Homely, resigned several
weeks ego. This may be so, bet the fact was not
knows in theatrical circles in Paris, when the ru.
moor has today caused much surprise.

A letter from Maudllia mentions the arrival io
