As compared with this time yesterday prices are
higher, but they are not at their highest point. The
partial reaction which set in yesterday has not been
recovered, and it is not unlikely that in view of the
fortnightly settlement, which begins on Monday, that
speculative sales will be sufficiently numerous to
modify prices. The inquiry for American railways
continues, but English shares are a shade lower.
Foreign Stocks show no material change, but Egyptian
are in favour.
The Money Market is unaltered.

Westphalia, in the kingdom of Prussia, which corre-
sponds in its objects with our own Telegraphic Con-
struction and Maintenance Company—with which,
indeed, it proposes to compete. This company has
Just contracted for the manufacture and delivery of a
large amount of telegraphic wire for Brazil ; and it is
added, "we are struggling for the first place in this
branch of industry, but our chief difficulty is to over-
come the English competition."
