heavily. The sales were 4,000 bales, of which 500
Were for export, 140 Pernams and Maranhams, at
6d. to 7id., 300 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., and 400
Surat, at lid. to 4d. per lb. The railway shares
were flat and lower.

The market has been very depressed again for
English Stocks, and the tenor of all the news pub-
lished has been unfavourable. It must be stated,
however, as a circumstance that would appear
extraordinary if some explanations were not offered
that the private letters from Paris are written in
very confident terms respecting the probability,
imminent as the danger of war now appears, of a
settlement of the Eastern question so far as the
acceptance of the Vienna note is concerned.
There is even in town, we believe, a telegra-
phic message from Vienna, denying the assertion
that Austria has separated itself from the other
Powers. On the contrary, it i 3 affirmed that the
Four Powers still act in concert, and that they
desire the acceptance by Turkey of the original
note which they drew up. Perhaps the most se-
rious present feature is the enthusiasm prevailing
at Constantinople, and the great danger to which
the Greek population and the Christians are ex-
posed. At Paris the Rentes have been higher to-
day, and there is an improvement also in Railway
Shares. Orders to buy to some extent have been sent
laver, and the Strasbourg line is in especial demand.
In Vienna also shares are stated to have risen con-
siderably, and the feeling on the Bourse there was
much more confident. We give these facts, and
refrain from further comment, leaving a'l pitrties
to form their own conclusions as to whether pPaci-
or war is considered on the Continent most
probable.
Consols have this morning fluctuated between
94 and 941 for transfer, and from 943/4 to 95 for
account. At one time there were buyers at 95.
Exchequer Bills have realised 7s. to Bs. discount,
and East India Bonds 2s. discount to 3s. premium.
The foreign market has been exceedingly quiet.
The quotations are generally heavy by sympathy
with the English funds. Spanish keep up, not-
withstanding the intelligence from Madrid of a
change of ministry, the cause or consequences of
which no one seems to comprehend or care about,
engrossed as the public attention is by the momen-
tous Eastern question. The New Deferred Bonds
have been at 22i. Mexican stock has ruled at
24 ; E
quador, is at 4 to and Brazilian New
43/4 per
Cents. have been 973/4 to 98. Sardinian
Bonds are quoted 923/4.

The Railway Share Market hay, been excited and
depressed as regards the English lines, with a con-
tinued pressure of sales. Caledonian have fallen
about 21., and East Lancashire, Great Northern,
North-Western, Midland and the other lines about
1 per cent. French Shares have been in request,
at an advance of fully 1/. on the Strasbourg. The
Northern are also firm. The Zealand keep up,
but the Canada shares are lower.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :
1853. 1852.
