The London 'Stock Market has shown a feverish
aspect to-day, and the most trifling incident tends to
produce fluctuation in prices. Consols opened
steadily at the closing quotations of yesterday, and
subsequently improved, but later in the day there
was a reaction, and prices finally left off as follow :
Consols for Money, shut ; ditto Account, 921,
93 ; Exchequer Bills, 24, 27 ; Bank Stock, 219, 221 ;
Three per Cents., 931, 931.
The London Railway Share Market was affected
by the unsettled state of the Stock Market, and
after opening weak, at the closing prices of yesterday,
and becoming rather stronger, finally left off heavy
at the following quotations :—Ambergate, 53.
Caledonians, 801 ; East Lancashire, 87,
Edinburgh and Glasgow, 72, 73 ; Great Northern,
991, 1001 ; ditto A, 81, 82 ; Great Western, 554 ;

The steamer La Plata has arrived from the West
Indies, with the enormous sum of 533,000/ in specie,
of which 119,000/ is gold and the rest silver.
In the Discount Market the demand has somewhat
increased during the last day or two, and at some
of .the leading establishments Money has " run off."
It 'is consequently • less easy to get first-class bills
discounted below 24 per cent. At the Bank there
is no revival of business.
The Paris letters mention an impression that the
Scrip of the new loan would be deliverable yesterday
—a circumstance which may partly account for the
sensitiveness of the Bourse.
Nothing of importance occurred in Bullion at the
Bank yesterday. The steamer City of 'Baltimore.
from New York, has brought 1.57,000/. in specie, and
the Vanderbilt 330,0001., but, with the exception of
a limited Sinn,' the whole of the latter remittance
goes direct to Havre from Southampton. The
steamer Amity has likewise arrived from St. Peters-
burg, with at least 60,000/. in gold, which will be
delivered to-morrow.
It appears that the privileges recently accorded
by Imperial decree to the Jews in Russia, though
of considerable importance as marking the more
liberal tendencies of the present governMent,
are not comprehensive in their scope. Liberal
for the atmosphere of Russia, they yet
leave much to be desired Hitherto, Jews
have not possessed the recognised right of
establishing themselves in trade in St. Petersburg
or Moscow, or, indeed, in any part of Russia, except
in certain cities, such as Odessa; and in some of the
frontier provinces. It is now provided that all Jews
who have been inscribed for two years in the first
mercantile guild, and all who shall henceforth be
inscribed' therein for five years, may establish them-
selves at pleasure in any part of the empire,, Jews
who are not Russian subjects are authorised to be
admitted to enrolment in the first guild of merchants
upon the sanction of the Minister of the Interior,
Foreign Affairs, or
.Finance being first obtained.
These provisions may be accepted as an instalment.
The- government is compelled to proceed cautiously
in 'a path where the suSceptibilities of the old bigoted
church party- iiiay:64sily be roused.
With reference to the market for American rail-
way securities,- Mr. B. F. Satterthwaite reports as

Since our last, Ainerican securities have participated in
the improved feeling which has characterised the Stock
Exchange. There is a good demand for States stocks and
first-class railroad bonds. Illinois -Central sharea have
advanced 3 per cent.; considerable purchases have been
made from 43 to 41 discount. Construction bonds have
been much wanted, and they close firm at 74 to 75. Free
Land bonds remain steady, about 85f. Some of the recently
issued debentures of this company are offering for sale at
10 to 8 discount; at this price they form a favourable
medium for paying up sharep. in full. New York and Erie
securities' of all kinds are neglected; the diminished receipts
consequent upon tanall..traflic and the rediiced?.tariff at
which it is carried, places, the company in a state of great
embarrassment, and utterly destroya- confidence of
investors.

The announcement that Prussia mobilises a portion of her
army, has given a decided cheek to the rise in the Funds.
It has also had .a powerful effect at Paris, where the Rentes
have this day fallen 4 per
_cent., in addition to the decline
•of which took place yesterday. The lateSt quotations
were ;-.4 per cent. below those of yesterday. In the Discount
Market the demand has somewhat increased during the last
day or two. It is consequently less easy to . get, first-class
bills diseeunted beloW• 22 per'-cent. At the Bank there is
no revival of business.—Daily 21retti'City Article, Wednes7
day Evening.
The announcement of the mobilisation of the Prussian,
army caused consols • to open this morning at a decline_ of
4 per cent. • Vague attempts were made latett•the-daY to
revive the. rumour that Lord • Palmerston meets with
obstacles in constructing a ministry. No bullion opera-
tions at the Bank to-day.. The new arrangement between
the Russian Government and Messrs. Rothschild must be
expected to check any further continuous arrivals of gold
from St. Petersburgh. .After the next Cunard steamer, the
supplies. from America are also likely to diminish. The
railway market has been little affected by the decline in the
funds.---Times City Article, Wednesday Evening.
