Tne depression which characterised the Stock Market
Yesterday was partially removed before the final close,
and tendencies to a favourable reaction are apparent
this morning, though prices are without material alter-
ation. Complaints are loud of the absence of busi-
ness ; but this is the natural result of a thin attend-
ance, and of this being the season of vacation. The
Funds are steady, and railways show little or no
variation. One of the subjects engaging some atten-
tion in this market is the reported project of a new
line to Brighton. As nothing definite is stated in the
announcements on this subject, it is receive,l with
incredulity, and its effect on London and Brighton
stock has been nil. - -
