STocit EXCLIANGE.-- There is little variation to note on the Share
Markets during the week. The transactions have been limited in
count caused a temporaryadN-a n
extent, and prices pretty stationary. The settlements for the ac-
for a day or two, butblustering news from America checked Invest-
ment,
and stock of all descriptions receded to its ' former position,
closing with but few buyers. A growing desire evinces itself among
scripholders to facilitate the winding up of new railway projections,
and several meetings have already been held in Leeds on the subject ;
but it will require a little time ere the bulk of the holders are recon-
ciled to meet losses which they are willing to admit are eventually
inevitable. At present "like drowning men they catch at straws,"
and in the Illusory hope that something in the chapter of accidents
may turn up to the advantage of the particular schemes in which
they are interested, they hold on blindly while the little that might
be rescued from the general wreck is being swallowed us in fUrther
costly proceedings. In some instances a feeling of rivalry has ob-
tained such hold on promoters, that they feel it derogatory to them
individually to abandon the schemes with which they have become
connected before their rivals have left the field, while hopes of amal-
igamation keep others struggling on. All are equally fallacious;
where amalgamation with existing interests is likely, arrangements
have already been made or proposed, and opposition now among new
schemes which are at heavy discounts is but emptying the coffers to
their own injury, while the mere "holding on" without object, save
the chance of an indefinite something, is surely manifestly impolitic
at this time. We hope, for the sake of those whose means do not
justify further risks, that no such mistaken influences will be allowed
to interfere with the abandonment of very many of the profitless
schemes now before the public. The sales are—London and Croydon,
