AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOB,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
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 Stock* 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
new 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
bad some effect in strengthening the Stock markets,
though the attendance is exceedingly meagre and
business is scarcely at all engaged in by the general
public.

.unaltered at 1i per cent.

The Railway News states that the work of re-
organising the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
Company continues to progress in a very satisfac-
tory manner. The necessary assents to the removal
of the receiver on the other side have been obtained,
and within ten days from the time of making the
application the order of the court for the removal
of that officer will be issued. General Potter,
the receiver, offers no opposition whatever ; on
the contrary, he will facilitate the application as
far as lies in his power. As soon as he was made
acquainted with the proposals of the directors, and
learned the favourable manner in which they were
received by the bond and debenture holders, le placed
himself in connection with the directors, and intimated
that he would take no steps with regard to the
management of the line without in the first instance
consulting them. The bond and debenture holders
have already sent in a very large amount of their
coupons to be exchanged for the certificates of income
Bonds and other securities. As soon as the amended
Proposal is received, duly signed and scaled by the
di.rectors in America, application will be made to the
_mock Exchange for a settlement and quotation of the
uevr form of securities.
