cases a shade flatter. The current quotations arc

Considerable gloom prevailed to-day throughout
the Stock Exchange. The funds fell 3 per cent. ;
and English, foreign and colonial railway shares of
nearly all descriptions were heavy. The market
was chiefly prejudiced by the gloomy financial
advioes from the Continent and New York. The
considerable arrivals of specie failed to induce a
more cheerful feeling, owing to the prospect that
the bulk of these supplies will be sent away.
An increased demand for money in the Stock
Exchange, in connexion with the fortnightly settle-
ment in shares, also operated on the unfavourable
side. On two or three of the principal English
railway stocks very high rates were paid. On
government securities the current rate was 6 to 61.
per cent., with an increased demand. In the dis-
count market the demand was moderate, but this
may be partly owing to the circumstance that the
Bank is the cheapest market at present. The ap-
plications at that establishment continue caul-
derable.

The unfavourable tendency of the Stock Exchange
markets this afternoon was aggravated by intelli-
gence that the Bank of Amsterdamhas raised its rate
of discount from 43 to 5 per cent. 'This is an un-
usually high rate for that institution, but was at-
tained during the pressure in the autumn of last
year, since which period a fall to 4 per cent. has
taken place. We believe the cause of the present
movement rests with the sale of a large mass of Aus-
trian government stock in the Amsterdam market,
leading to a considerable demand for money. The
Vienna Bourse is seriously oppressed by the mass of
newly-ereated stock, including that of the numerous
new railways, and the Austrian capitalists are thus
compelled to address themselves for relief to the
Dutch and other markets.
