The meeting of the Wells and Fakenham Rail-

would be made to get the line opened in June next.
The meeting of the Scinde Railway Company has
also just been held, W. P. Andrew, Esq., in the
chair, who stated that the delay in selecting the

be adopted by the Bombay Government. The ac-
counts showed a balance with the and in
band of 219,7601. The report was passed unani-
mously.
There has been a very firm market for English
Securities this morning, an advance'of I per cent.
compared with the latest official quotations of yes-
terday having taken place. This movement has
been caused by purchases stimulated by the fact
that no new French loan is proposed,
and the expectation that monetary affairs will
noon experience some amendment. Consols for
money have been 931 and for account 94 to
941, with very few transactions. The New 3 per
Cents. are 94f and the Reduced 94 to 911.

are Is. premium, and India Bonds 2s. discount.
Very few bargains are recorded in the Foreign
Market, but the quotations are firmer. Turkish
6 per Cent!" are 95f I, and the 4 per Cents. are
marked 1011. Spanish Securities are well sup-
ported, the 3 per Cents. being 401 ; the New De-
ferred, 213 ; and the Certificates 6f. Sardinian
6 per Cents. were 901 ; Mexican, 22i ; mad Peru.
vian 4/ per Cents. 80k.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stooks, :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 7 ; Mexi-
can, 22 I ; Peruvian, 80 1 ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents., 43 5 ; Russian o per Cents., 108 10 ; ditto

been transacted in most of the leading undertak-
ings at improved rates. Caledonian have improved
103. ; East Anglian, 5s ; Brighton, 10s. ; Midland,
ss. ;North British,los. ; North-Eastern,Berwick, ss;
