Indications abound on every side that the future
course of the Spanish nation is looked to with a
feeling of earnest hopefuhiess. Evou those j)ersons
who have been long interested in Spanish securities
or enterprises, and who have deplored the dis-
credit attaching to them, have been surprised at
witnessing the keen interest displayed in Spanish
affairs. In fact, Spain has more friends in this
country than she imagines—certainly far more
than she can be said to have deserved, if she is to
be held responsible for the financial policy
of all her recent rulers. For years Spain
has been, as it were, sealed against the influx of
that universal fertiliser, British capital. Lying
under the ban of the Stock Exchange as a punish-
ment for her dishonesty and financial impeui-
tenw, she has wilfully deprived herself of those
means of progress with which every other country
in Europe has been VIIIIOVietI. The force with
which enterprise is driven along all the channels
open to it is well shown at this moment in the
I activity of railway projection in Austria and
Russia. To those aids to her material prosperity,
and to the development of her vast
resources, Spain may yet assert her full
claim. That she will do so under a
new, reformed, and purer administration is the
firm conviction of her friends. There must be a
vast amount of money now literally buried in
Spain, and only waiting to be disinterred by the
spirit of confidence and enterprise. The r•eceent
statement, that a number of loea►l capitalists
halo already spontaneously offered a large
loan to the government, is very significant, and
shows what the country will do when it has a
government it can trust. Notwithstanding the
temporary drawback involved in the deficient
harvest from which Spain is suffering, many per-
sons will be disposed to argue that, considering
the now elements of hope now presented, Spanish
Throe per Cents. at 33 are much better worth
attention than French Three per Cents. at 70.
Bar gold valued at 39,0001. was sent into the
Bank on Saturday.

Railway extension in Mid-Europe seems likely
to make rapid strides, favoured by the present
ease of money in all the great markets. In addi-
tion to the other new lines of railway to which
attention has lately boon directed, it appears that
a shorter route by 193 miles from Lemberg to
Warsaw, via Zolllifew, and joining the Lemberg
and Czernowits Railway, has been projected by the
indefatigable Director-Oeneral of Austrian Rail-
ways, the Chevalier de Ofenheim. He has for
that purpose applied for and obtained a preliminary
concession from the Austrian Board of Trade to
tram out the route as far as the Russian frontier
at Narol-Lipeko.
The traffic of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway shows indications of recovery. For the
second week in September the receipts were
128,8140 dole., being 13,100 doh. more than in the
corresponding week of last year.
Mr. Robert Payne, of the firm of Payne, Ken-
drick, and Brown, public accountants, has boon
