There are no arrivals to day from any quarter.
The discount market becomes easier now the last day of
payment for the new railway companies has arrived, and there
is every hope that era long people will be so far relieved, as to
wonder.at their weakness in being frightened into the belief
that a fearful crash must ensue. From the first moment
when the Railway Companies began to make their lodg-
ments with the Accountant-General, up to the present
time, there has been an abundance of idle capital in the City,
and which, no doubt, would have been liberally, though ju-
diciously, loaned out upon first-rate security, such as has,
within the last week or two, been peremptorily refused
everywhere except at the Bank of England, but
for the systematic exertions of those who have been
so indiscreet or so designing as to foster the uneasiness. The
sum cashed up for deposit with the Accountant-General, is
between 9,000,000'. and 10,060,0001. just one-third of the
original estimate, by that oracular organ, the Times-scarcely
one guess or assertion of which paper has proved correct.
That the whole amount deposited will be re-invested in
stock is not at all probable, because of the
decided advance in prices low, and the fall which
must occur hereafter, when sales become necessary. The
Bank of England will retain the amount not invested in
stock, say at least five millions, and the public will receive
the other half in return for the stock and Exchequer-bills
they supply to the projected Companies. For some months a
good part of this five millions will remain with the
public, feeding the usual channels of trade, and
before the Companies again become sellers, we may
hope for such a restoration of confidence, and such a weed-
ing of the Share Market as will relieve any pressure arising
from the stock being thrown on the market.
The Stock Market is very animated, and the purchases by
the Chancery broker are kept up,though it appears that he has
to-day been met by a few sellers. The executors of the late Mr.
Cohen are said to have been disposing of stock within the last
few
.days, and certainly they could not have had a more
favourable opportunity, for they may do so most profitably,
and yet exercise scarcely any influence upon the value of
Consols. The quotations have fluctuated from 96% to 97%
for present transfer, and from 97 to 971/2 for time. The pre-
mium on Exchequer -bills has been as high so 375. and 405.,
and on the 1,0001. East India Bonds 41s. to 455. Bank Stock
is worth 206 to 2091/2, and India Stock 259. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99% to par.
There is more activity in the Foreign Market, and the
quotations exhibit some buoyancy. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 2814 to 28, and the Three per Cents. 3$ to
38 %. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 59% to 60.
Brazilian New Steck has been worth 83, Chilian 100, and
Mexican 31% to . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 60 to 601/i.
Railway Shares have been high. The proceedings in Par-
liament last night have given a favourable impression of the
feeling of the Legislature.
