The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :

RAILWAYS.

Yesterday, the Great Western Railway stock rose
about 2 per cent., in consequence of the official an-
nouncement of a dividend at the rate of 31- per cent.
per 'annum, against 21 for the corresponding six months
of 1858.

The railway market was not generally affected by the
fall in the funds, owing, in a great measure, to the good
dividends that continue to be announced.

MONEY MARKET, &c.

Consols for money operied at a decline of 1, and
although a recovery subsequently took place it was not
maintained. The balance of opinion seems to be that
the question of an advance in the Bank rate to 5 per
cent. will be delayed until next week. There was a
very active demand for discount at the" Bank, supposed
to be the result, in a great measure, of a desire to pro-
vide against a fresh rise in the .rate. The India rupee
stocks were not much affected by the general heaviness.
--Times.

The funds to-day showed renewed heaviness, and
closed at. a further reduction of at to I per cent. Apart
from a certain degree of political uncertainty which
continues to prevail, 'the funds, are principally governed
at present by considerations referring to the state of the'
money market. The pressure on the resources of The
Bank, and the 'absence of any real rectiAcation of the
bullion Movement, keeps alive an impression that a
further advance in the rate of discount may become
necessary.. The decline in consols did not extend to the
share market. British railway stocks were buoyant, in
consequence of the very. satisfactory rates of dividend
announced by the principal companies. The discount
market being "still unsettled, and the principal bill-
brokers asking 41 'per cent.. upon the best paper on
demand, the Bank of England to-day was active. The
amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank, for exporta-
tion, was £12,000. At llamburgh the rate of discount
is as low as 11 per cent.—Daily News. "
