'The pressure for discount accommodation, which
Wag noticed a few days ago, has abated, and as the
Bt/131513' of capital in Lombard-street is large, the
that
of relief are alredy visible. It is true
1" at full rates are generally demanded by the bill
07kers and others, but choice descriptions
ial Paper are negociated a fi action under the
07 rate. The Consol settlement being
experienced,
it is • likely that increased ease will be
eia-`Perienced, as the requiremen! s of the commer-
i
th,.• community are not very heavy, and, besides
ter a considerable amount of money is being
aa'ed through she dividends payable to railway
me
other joint stock compAnies. The half yearly
beeentingl of the principal railway companies are
toli,-g held, and the returns are generally found
itti'e satisfactory, in consequence of the favour-
the'e increase that has taken pl ice in most of

employment for them is likely to be curtailed.
.The market for Public Securities is firmer to-
4ti7, but business is very dull. This is frequently
ease just after the settlement of the account, _
4tad
on the prpsent occasion the anxiety felt for
•erintelligence from India induces caution. The
fluctuation this morning has not been more than
per cent., but the final arrangement of the account
has led to another failure. The member who has
