The 6tock Exchange is chiefly concerned with the
fortnightly settlement, to-morrow being pay day.
Nevertheless the markets are firm, though very quiet.
There is no movement in the funds, in spite of the
Surfeit of money, and the downward course of corn.
Foreign stocks, however, are firmer, especially
EgYPtian, Peruvian, and Italian. The most important
feature in foreign railways is an advance of 1
per cent. in Erio shares. The movements in English
railways are not altogether favourable. Great
Northern, Great Western, and Metropolitan are
lower, and there is in no case any particular upward
teovement.
