There was a slight decline yesterday afternoon in the
rates at which bills of exchange were negotiated on the
principal continental cities. Paper at 90 days was taken
at 12 2 to 2-1- on Amsterdam, at 25 65 to 67k on Ant-
werp, at 13 114 to 12 on Hamburgh, at 25 60 to 65 on
Paris, at 122 on Frankfort, and 11 20 to 25 on Trieste.
The exports of bullion from London during the week,
to Thursday last, were confined to silver, amounting to
248,300 ounce! to France, Belgium, and Holland.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts are
to-day again satisfactory.
The Funds have been rather below yesterday's range,
but are not weak. Consols have realised 964 to 97, and
are now 961 Bank Stock is worth 204 to 204 k. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98k 4.
Exchequer-bills maintain the premium of 595. and 625.
In the Foreign Stock Market there are no particular
changes. Peruvian Bonds have be en flatter, however,
at 61 to 61i ; Mexican were 29 to 294. Equador
brought 3;-,1 ; Buenos Ayres, 48k ; and Brazilian 884.
Nothing has been done in Spanish or Portuguese. Dutch
Two-and a-Half per Cents. have been 56.
A London share agent, in giving his views upon the
Railway Market, states:--" Now we see nothing in the
present condition of railway property that is not capable
of considerable irnprovment ; there is no cause for its
depreciation, that may not be effectually and promptly
remoi ed. To the practical measures necessary for the
resuscitation of railway interests we shall separately
refer. The point we here insist upon is, that railway
property has been most unduly and ridiculously depre-
ciated." Then referring to the Caledonian line and its
traffic and prospects, though, of course, we leave people
to receive the opinion for what it is worth, he says that
the receipts to Dec. 17 show an increase on the total
traffic of twenty-five weeks at the rate of 36 per cent.,
and an increase on the mileage of 20k per cent.
"So then with this enormously and progressively
increasing traffic, with the moral certainty of the
guaranteed claims being all reduced, with the line
and works in perfect and substantial repair, with
an additional increase in the mineral traffic alone
next year of 20,0001.; and with a general saving
in salaries, expenditure for small stores and working
charges, as stated in the reports of the engineer—with
all these advantages the shares of this company, upon
which a dividend of 3 per cent. was paid last year, for-
sooth are at 78 per cent. discount. And wh3 ? Because
the directors, who are about to be replaced by more
efficient men, have been detected in acting with decep-
tion towards their shareholders; and because certain
anonymous scribes have thought proper to send adver-
tisements to different papers decrying the line as in a
state of bankruptcy."
The Railway Share Market looks tolerably well again
this morning, and there is Mak business doing.
