The railway share market to-day has
rienced several 000aidersble variations, owintbß
partly to the arrangements in connexion wi
the settlement. Now, however, that the bulk of
these have been completed, the market has assumed
a firmer appearance, 'misted by the advance
lin Consols. Increased disposition to purchase for;th•
new account is evinced, and prices in many cams
show an advance over those current at four o'clock
yesterday.
Canadian railway shares fully maintain the late
rally. Sense French lines, however, are flatter.

The funds opened quietly this morning, but
have since assumed a decidedly improved appearance.
Prices are now quoted 3 to 1 per cent. higher than
at four o'clock yesterday.
Consols for the 7th Dec. were first marked 891 and
891, and are now quoted 90/ " sellers." For money
the present price is 891 to /. The Three per Cents.
Reduced have been dealt in at 88 to 8811
the New Three per Cents. at 881 to 881; the New
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 741; Bank Stock at
213; India Stock at 214 ; Exchequer Bills, at 23a.
to 15s. dis. ; Exchequer Bonds, 1858, at 981; ditto,
1869, at 971.
Turkish Six per Cents. have risen to 871 to 88.
In other foreign stocks more business is going
forward. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., at 98; Buenos Ayes Bonds
at 84 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificatm,
at 981 and NI ; Mexican Bonds, at 171 and
171; ditto for account, 30th of November, at
18 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at
74 ; Portuguese Three per Cents, 18.53, at 421 ;
Russian Five per Cents., at 106; Russian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 961 ; ditto
Small Bonds, at 961; Spanish Now Deferred Three
per Cents., at 26; ditto for account 13th November,
at 261; Turkish Six per Cents., at 871 and 871 ;
ditto, Guaranteed Four per Cents., at 961 and 961;
and Venezuela Active Bonds, at 25.
Of course no one expects that the facilities
just accorded by government will either precipi-
tate a decline in the value of money, or prevent
the fall of embarrassed houses ; but every one
is perfectly satisfied at finding that the incipient
panic has been stayed. The letters received yes-
terday from the country indicate an extent of mone-
tary disturbance and commercial excitement almost,
if not altogether unparalleled, and it is fearful to
contemplate the ruin which would have resulted
from the postponement of the expected relief for
even one or two days. Yesterday, money circulated
much more freely in the discount market, and, in
consequence, there was witnessed the expected and
satisfactory circumstance of a decided diminution in
the demand at the Bank of England. The
applications at that establishment yesterday were
still very heavy, it is true ; bat, from all
that we can gather, we believe they were not
by any means equal to half of those witnessed
on Thursday, when, as before stated, the demand
was perfectly unprecedented. Considering the pros-
pect of a gradual subsidence of the demand, which
will be promoted by the increased disposition to
lend observable in the open market, a strong im-
pression prevails in quarters usually well informed,
that the Bank Charter Act will not be actually in-
fringed. In this case, of course, Ministers will have
no occasion to present a bill of indemnity to parlia-
ment. As it is positively alleged, however, that
parliament is to be speedily convened, the suspicion
is expressed in many quarters that other financial
considerations may have something to do with the
step.

-
Great regret is expressed at the announce-
ment of the stoppage of the well known and
respected firm of Messrs. I/raper, Pietroni, and Co.,
of this city, largely engaged in the Italian and Me-
diterranean trade. The liabilities of the house are
estimated at about 350,0001.; but, as a considerable
amount of their acceptances against credits will be
withdrawn, the ultimate engagements will be much
reduced. Great sympathy is, on all sides, expressed
for the partners. Subjoined is a copy of the circular
issued:

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
firm at the recent important advance, with the single
exception of Hamburg. The rates for paper on Ant-
werp, and for long bills on Pszie,were quoted higher.
The Austrian exchanges have again mien, owing to
the distrust which prevails in Vienna. The current

pored with the price realised et the previous sale.
The Mexican and Chian dollars have not yet been
sold.

The corn market yesterday was very heavy, and no
progress could have been made with sales sinless at
a sensible reduction from last Monday's rates. This
is owing, in great part, to the official announcement
that the exportation of grain and flour from France
is allowed. The same notification was followed in
Paris by a rise of no less than 12 per cent. in the
price of flour. The number of floating cargoes of
grain arrived at ports of call since last Friday is 18.

The Government Letter, authorising a suspension
of the provisions of the Bank Charter Act, has led
to a decidedly improved tone in every department of
business. The community have been startled at
finding how narrowly they have escaped a gigantic
panic, and it may be some days yet before affairs will
subside into a really settled state. Thus far, how-
ever, the effect has been most satisfactory ; indeed,
considering the alarm and gloom which prevailed
everywhere yesterday, an almost magical change
may be said to have taken place.
The funds opened this morning with great buoy-
ancy, at a fresh rise of per cent., and from the
eagerness to purchase which was at first evinced, a
further advance seemed probable. A decided
alteration, however, was occasioned by the
appearance of sellers of stock to a very
large amount for immediate delivery. These sales
were attributed to a joint-stock bank. It is
computed that, altogether, stock to the amount of
from 600,0001. to 800,000!. was today pressed upon
the market. The result wu • fall of *per cent.
from the first prices of the morning, and the funds
finally closed to per cent. lower than yesterday.
The increased strength of the market, however, is
proved by the fact that so large an amount of stock
was so readily absorbed : yesterday no progress
could be made with sales of stock for cosh. The
statement that Parliament is to be called together on
financial grounds tended to discourage buyers, and
the anticipation of an extraordinarily unfavourable
Bank return operated in the same direction.
Nearly every other department of the Stock
Exchange wore a decidedly improved appearance.
In English railway shares the rise this morning
was even feverish, and, therefore, met with anther
decided check later in the day.
Exchequer Bills, which yesterday fell to 40e. dis—
count, were sold this morning as low as 30s. dia.,
but had recovered at the close to 23a. to las. die.

In the Stock Exchange to-day, notwithstanding
the magnitude of the recent sales of stock, money
was decidedly easier than yesterday.
Consols, which were quoted at tour o'clock yester-
day 90 to 1 for the 7th December, opened this
morning at 901 to 1, and thence gradually receded,
closing at 891, or 89 11-18 to 13-18. For money
the lea price was 891. After four o'clock stock was
offered at 891 far the account. Tne official business
report h as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 891,1, 1,1, f,1,;, 89, 891 891; ditto, for
account (7th Dec.), 901, 891 ; 'three per Cents.
Reduced, 881,1 1,1; New Three per Cents., 881,
}, ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April,
1885, 171; Bank Stock, 209}; Three-and-a-Half
per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in
1868, 981, 971 ; ditto, 1859, 971, 97, 971, 971.
Turkish Six per Cents. were inquired for this
morning, but closed the same ea yesterday, viz., at
87 to 1. Mexican Bonds were pressed for ale,
apparently on continental orders, and continue to
decline. Other foreign stocks were dull.
Bank shares remain fiat, and in a number of cases

today prices were quoted rather lower. National
Discount and London Discount shares were better,
especially the former. Australian Agricultural were
quoted 11. higher, and Electric Telegraph Stock 11.
lower. London Dock stock was officially marked 981.
