Our letters from Frankfort state that a fresh rise
of 5 per cent. has been established in French-Aus-
trian Railway shares, and of 4 per cent. in Lom-
bard ; the first are continuously bought on French
account. The most extraordinary feature of the

Present movement is that only those securities are
linproving on which the. hanks make no advan,ce.s—
Buell as shares, preference railway bonds, and mtect
States' stocks—while the descriptions •n which ad-
lallees can be obtained show for the most part a
downward tendency.
The Krementsehug Russian Railway loan has
not been introduced for subscription at Frankfort,
