A. FEW WORDS ON RAILWAY

BUSINESS.

" BEARS" T. HUDSON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--It will be in the recollection of those engaged
in railway transactions, if not of the public generally,
that the Bears had carried on their nefarious traffic to
such an extent as to cause the price of Midland to be
quoted in October last at 64L to 661.; York and New-
castle, 201. to 211.; York and North'Midland, 411. to 43L;
and even London and North- Western at 99/. to 1061., and
every:share quoted in the London List in like proportion.
You were amongst the first, if not thefirst, to draw the at-
tention of the holders of railway property to the scheming
designs of the Bears, until, by your advocacy of railway
investments, attention was commanded of the chairmen
and directors of railway companies to the unwarrant-
able depreciation of railway property. Mr. Hud-
son stepped forward on that occasion, and by his in-
fluence put an end to the machinations of the London
Stock Exchange, by enforcing upon its com-
mittees the necessity of discontinuing the ex-parte
statement published under colour of its sanc-
tion. This, with more detailed statements
issued by the leading railway companies,caused a re-
action—a reaction greatly to the discomfiture of the
Bears; Midlands, by the London List, having since been
quoted at 981. to 100/., York, Newcastle, &c., 29}1. to
304/., York and North Midland, 571. to 591., making an
enhanced value in the buying prices of Midland of 341.
per share; York and Newcastle of 9i1., and of York and
North Midland of 16/. per share, and this all within four
months. Would the railway-holding public only take
time to consider, and not take the opinion of any ob-
scure newspaper, whose editor wishes to raise it into
notoriety at the risk of offending against all law and the
common obligations of society, the Bears would suffer
greatly from their attacks upon Mr. Hudson. Their
losses have, doubtless, been enormous, and their efforts
to recover them will not bo guided by the strictest rules
of honour or decency.
Of course, as in all similar cases, there are many, a
great many, very wise men, who shrug their shoulders,
shake their heads, and profess to give a knowing wink,
w;io formerly were ever ready to bepraise and laud the
rising god.
Let shareholders wait the result of the investigation
submitted to by Mr. Hudson, and I feel confident they
will be more satisfied with the result than the Bears
will ultimately have occasion to be. B. E.

Mr. Granville Harcourt, M.P., and Frances Coun-
tess Waldegrave entertained the Earl and Countess of
Lucan, Lord Brougham, Lord and Lady Norreys, the
Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Miss Hobhouse,
the Right Hon. Richard Lalor Sheil, Mr. R. Monckton
Milnes, Mr. and :11rs. Cutler, and a select party to
dinner, on Thursday evening, at their residence in St.
James's-place.
