CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
There was a firmness in business to-day on the
Stock Exchange. Consols maintained their quota-
.tions, and the Continental Securities were, in some
instances, the turn better. Turkish has improved,
so likewise has Spanish. American Shares are better
than generally, but the demand for Telegraph
Shares has been but limited.
The Settlement has not been accepted as perfectly
as could be desired ; the inconvenience, however, has
been very limited.
The Stock Exchange will ba open on Saturday,
but business will not become general until about
Tuesday morning.

The Frankfort advices state that the recent eager-
ness for American railway bonds is fast passing
aIV ay, and that the success obtained by the Oregon-
California issue has been the last. These are now
Belling at 2 per cent. discount. The issue of Port
Royal bonds has signally failed, and others projected
are without the shadow of a chance. An issue of
four millions of the Lottery Loan for regulating the
Nuube has been successful, but the time for such
subscriptions is over for the present. The premium
°ll the shares of the banks recently started has
rdwindled away, and nothing more is heard of them.

lean of eight million florins for railway purposes.
Later Brazillian advices state that the two sons of

Lopez the pacification of Paraguay has been con-
6uatrnated to an extent that could never otherwise
have: been acccomplished, since, whether in exile or
in3Priseument, his existence would have been a cease-
less terror to all who might have committed them-
selves to the new order of affairs. He was in his
39th year, and the war began in the autumn of 1864.
From Buenos Ayres accounts have been received
of a hurricane on the 9th of March, which caused
great damage and the loss of several lives. The

various sizes, suffered serious damage. Owing to
e news of the death of Lopez, Argentine National
had
had advanced to 67, and the rate for money
41 declined from 12 per cent. per annum to 9 per
cent.

oThe New York Supreme Court have set aside
feige Barnard's injunction staying the proceedings

"at
rt," same time as by Mr. Burt.
