The Times city article says, that the railway market
continueS'A6 be favourably influenced by the increasing
scarcity of stock. The openine, quotations; yesterday,were slightly higher than on Saturday, and just before
the termination of business a further improvement tqok
place, the market leaving off at the best price of the
day. The principal inquiries were 'for Sheffield, South
Eastern, Midland, and North British.
The English funds opened with great dulness at the
closing prices of Saturday, and have remained without
the slightest fluctuation. But for the reaction of the
Paris Bourse, consequent upon the refusal of the Pope
to send a representative to Congress unless the recent
pamphlet- shall be officially repudiated, the tendency
would probably have been towards improvement, since
the demand for discount is moderate, and money,' is
abundant in the Stock Exchange at 2i per cent.—Times.
The Stock Exchange was still under holiday influence.
Consols, however, were not lower than on Saturday.
The principal feature was a fresh advance in British
railway stocks, which closed with decided buoyancy.
There was also a demand for railway stock for account
of the provincial markets. There was a good demand
for money, which will probably increase during the
next few days. In the general market the supply was
rather scanty, at 24 per cent. for best bills. ' There were
no transactions in gold at the Bank. The demand for
the Continent continues, and any supplies that may
come to hand will doubtless be taken, for exportation.
The foreign exchanges were firm. The exchange on
Austria has experienced a moderate advance to that
country.--badly News.

TO CO RRESPON DENTS.
EARLY CLOSING.—A correspondent is of opinion that the Rifle
Corps movement has made early closing more than ever
necessary. if the corps are to devote any portion of their
time to drill and practice, they must leave off business or
workso much the sooner.
Short letters are invited en matters of public interest.. They
should be legibly written otiose side of the paper only.
under no circumstances can we insert communications not
accompanied by the author's real name and address, which
are required, not necessarily for publication, but as guaran-
tees of good faith.
