The stock markets to-day are decidedly firmer, in
coesequence of the publication (exclusively in the
Daily News) of the substance of an important
article from the iloniteur, on the great question of
peace or war. The funds have risen 1 per omit., not-
withstanding a sale of 100,0001. Console; and 'I
in every other department of the market
a more favourable feeling prevails. English,
French, Lombardo-Venetian, and Indian railway
shares are all stronger.

QUARTER PAST Two o'CLocx.
At Part this morning (Saturday), according to
Mr. Renter's telegram at 11.30 a.m. (being about an
hoar and a half before the regular opening of the
Bourse) the Three per Cent. Bents were quoted 88f r•
70c. for the end of March, showing a rise of about
1 per cent., since yesterday afternoon.

lar customers of the establishment.

mons on Monday.

On 'Change yesterday afternoon bills on Holland
and Frankfort were inquired for, and were quoted leas
favourably for this country. The principal feature,
however, is still the rise in the Austrian exchange.
Bills on Vienna were quoted on Friday 11.30 to
11.40, and this afternoon 11.60 to 11.70. The rates
are shown below : _ _ .

It is computed that during the last week at least
10,000 Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares have
been sold in the London market, on foreign account.
We understand that the Peruvian agents have
succeeded in procuring the requisite amount of stock
under the half-yearly redemption fund. The com-
parative facility with which the operation has been
carried out on the present occasion may be attri-
buted partly to the apprehension of further political
disturbances in Peru, and partly, perhaps, to the
general stagnation of speculation in the stock
markets.
In commemoration of the retirement of Mr. James
Hutchinson, the respected chairman of the Stock
Exchange Committee, and as • mark of general

sented to James Hutchinson, Esq., by members of

and valuable services as Chairman of the Committee
for General Purposes.-4th March, 1869." The
weesatation took plase yesterday, Mr. Corthorn
being spokesman. Mr. Hutchinson, who was much
affected, made a feeling reply.
It is understood that the Stock Exchange Com-
mittee are now engaged upon a thorough revision of
the roles relating to the appointment of settling days
for the shares of public companies, and to their
quotation in the official lie- The object of the cam.
tattles is to place their requirements in these cases
clearly on record.
The prospectus of the National Flax Company,
limited, is issued, with a proposed capital of
200,0004 in shares of 11. each. The object of this
company is to bring into use improved means for the
preparation of flax-fibre from the raw plant. Stress
is laid upon the check which is given to the home
growth of flax through the defect+, in the present
system of preparing it for manufacturing purposes.
It ie alleged that the patented promises scoured by
the company, which are those of Mr. G. A. Cator,
will effect a great economy both of time, labour, and
capital. " Real:Nies" are to be established in suit-
able localities, and a number of plans for encourag-
ing a more general cultivation of this valuable plant
are alluded to.
