The railway share market daring the atelier part
of the week was fie, with a declining tendency in
prices, bat since then the retrograde movement has
been neutralised, and where a comparison with last
week's rates shows any difference, it is, in nearly
every case, in a favourable sense. This inereued
firmness is in a great measure to be ascribed to the
much more satisfactory character of the traffic re-
ceipts for the past week, the London and North
Western, the Great Western, the South Eastern,
the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and indeed the
general railway traffic of the kingdom, show-
tog a considerable advance over the corre-
sponding week of last year. It appears from an
analysis of the published returns that there is
an increase of £38,856 in the aggregate amount re-
ceived, an increase in the mileage of 618 miles,
and an increase of 11. ss. in the amount received per
mile per week ; the total receipts on 5,884 miles, be-
ing 296,246/., or at the rate of 50/. se. per mile per
week, whilst for the corresponding period of 1849
they were 237,3901. on 5,266 miles, or at the rate of
49/. per m.le per week. The Eastern Counties re-
turn attests the prejudicial influence exercised upon
the company's interests by the present unfortunate
dispute with the engine-drivers. The receipts show
a decrease of about 9001., as compared with last year,
being only 14,8271. against 15,7901., and this, too,
notwithstanding the circumstance that the week's
return ends on the 18th, so that the strike
of the drivers could not have effezted the
receipts to its full extent. This week is
published the Great Northern return for five days of
the new line of 76 miles just opened, and seven days
of toe 143 miles previously open. The receipts are
4,6911., but this appears to have not quite come up to
expectations, the shares having receded a little. Lon-
don and South Westerns have been very buoyant, and
an advance of 31. 10s. per cent. has been established
during the week. Great North of Englands have
also risen 31.; Lancaster and Csrlisles, 11 ; Great
Westerns, Leds and Bradford., Midlands, North
British, and South Essterno, &c. The excep-
tions are Brightens and York and North Midlands,
which, as compared with last Saturday, have receded
10s. and 15s. respectively.
The following are the extreme prices at which
business has been done in railway shares during the
