The dealings in public Nesdeltiosio-day are upon
a very limited seals, and pekes geneedt few eerier
tions. There is little foal hidalgos*, of any im-
portance, and for the moment speculators do not
seem disposed to enter into further operations. Con-
sols are steady at the dosing quotations of yesterday,
a few additional investments having been made in
connexion with the payment of the dividends, and
with the announcement of large remittances of
gold from New York and Australia to this

Most of the railway traffic returns published this
week compare with acctd of last year when
traffic was much imped by the great snow storm
which set in on the Ist January. But while this
consideration tends to give an exceptionally good
appearance to the returns now in course of pub-
lication, as contrasted ltb last year, the comps-,
risen in the case of Me Metropolitan Railway
Company is disturbed in the contrary sense, that
company's receipts at the corresponding period of
eg
1866 having been largely swelled in coneequenee of 1
the fall of snow having compelled the omnibuses,
and cabs to cease running for three days.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 2,5261. over
lad year ; the Midland an increase of 4,V.V. ; and
the Metavpolitan a decrease of 4251.
