A general improvement has taken place in the Stock
Market, and at the close of business some excitement
was apparent, occasioned by a report that Austria had
consented to withdraw her forces from the States of the
Church, upon the condition that the French army
shall evacuate Rome. Throughout the Stock Exchange
the tendency at the close. of business was very favourable.
The Funds have risen 14, to 5-16. English, French,
Lombardo-Venetian, and -Indian Railway Shares were
all better. Investments in the latter have been stimu-
lated by the late fall.- Undiminished ease prevailed in
the Discount Market. to-day. There were no bullion

mence on Thursday, the 24th inst.

The announcement of a Russian loan will nut likely be
long deferred.
The Daily News says that, at the Indigo Sales on
Wednesday, consuming qualities were sold more readily,
and there was generally more competition for indigo
under 7s per lb.
The Indian financial statement to be made by Lord
Stanley, on MOnday next, is anticipated with great
interest.

A dangerous fraud is pointed out in the Times as
emanating from Manchester. It consists in the swindler
taking a room in a large building for offices, and ?Aswan,

with some slight deviation, the name of a sterling .61;
