Nothing of interest has transpired in the stock mar-
kets to-day. A firm feeling has been produced by the

hand the threatened internal dissensions in Paris have
been viewed with distrust, and have caused much caution
insettlia transactions, The English railway market has

been quiet. North Western and Great Western have risen, I
but a decline has taken place in Metropolitan,SouthEastern,
North-Eastern and Midland. The movements in the
value of Foreign Bonds have not been worthy of notice.
