A considerable degree of firmness prevails in the
Stock Markets: The Funds maintain Saturday's
quotations ; but Railways, with some exceptions, have
advanced, while Foreign Stocks are firm. In this
market the principal feature is the strength of the
Egyptian Viceroy Loan and an advance in Brazilian
Stock, consequent upon the accession to office of the
now Ministry, which, it is thought, will put an end
to the Paraguayan war. The wheat market, respond-
ing to those on the Continent, is flat, and last week's
advance threatens to be lost. This circumstance has
had some effect in strengthening the Stock markets,
taongh the attendance is exceedingly meagre and
business is scarcely at all engaged in by the general
public.

unaltered at lk per cent.

the receiver, offers no opposition whatever ; on
the contrary, he will facilitate tho application as
far as lies in his power. As soon as he was made
acquainted with the proposals of the directors, and

that he would take no steps with regard to the
