GLASGOW IRON MARKET.—AUGUST 19.
The market was steady to-day at 525. 9d. per ton for
all descriptions.

4-

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

(From the Daily Hews City Article.)

The Funds closed to-day 1-16 to k per cent. better
than yesterday, with a tolerably firm appearance in
sympathy with the more cheerful tendency of the Paris
Bourse.

The Share Markets were likewise firm though inactive.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank to-day,
but the steamer Vectis has taken for Lisbon 45,200 sous.
withdrawn from that establishment.

The shipments of specie by the steamer Ceylon,
which will sail on Saturday, are unusually large, amount-
ing to £710,053. The whole of which is silver, except
£9,074 in gold.
The demand for money to-day was again languid.
The rate in Lombard-street, for the best bills, did not
exceed 2 a per cent.
(From the Times City Article)

THURSDAY EVENING.—The English funds opened this
morning without alteration, but immediately experienced
a slight improvement, which was maintained. The
amnesty in France is regarded only as an indication of
the confidence of the Emperor in the increased popu-
larity of his rule since the realisation of foreign con-
quest, and that it can therefore scarcely be accepted in
any degree as a guarantee for a pacific policy in future.
The Railway Market continues inactive but firm. In
most of the leading British stocks an advance of 4 to
per cent. has taken place.
The directors of the Caledonian Railway recommend
a dividend for the past half year at the rate of 31 per
cent. per annum on the ordinary stock.
