ON THE VALUE OF THE SHARES
OF THE RAILWAYS IN FRANCE AT THE
LONDON EXCHANGE.
The shares of the railways in France have, for some
time past, commanded a high price in the London
market. Important business has been transacted at the
Exchange ; on the Northern, Lyons, and Strasbourg
lines, and at a high price.
The line of rail from Strasbourg to Basle is now occu-
pying the attention of our speculators; for some time
previously no business had been transacted in the market
on this line, but within the last few days the prices ap-
pear named in the share list varyinc, from 9/. ss. to 91.
10s., and 10/., which evidently indicates a demand fur,
and eager purchase of, shares.
The announcement that a station will soon be opened
in the city of Basle itself, affording great accommoda-
tion to travellers, and presenting a means of economising
in fine. thr‘et.rtainty
to the company ; the facility of detaching the coupons
from the newly issued shares, which avoids the risk
formerly incurred of senc:i lg the shares to France in
:-‘)rtla'-r;.; 1 ';'ll'cili.cll,si"Jcltl;°h9l,ll;,79iri''‘ll (I,o‘r';'l;linicl ;3
e:ir —all t 1; z
billed causes have contributed to z.ttract attention to this
line of rail, which will become of still greater import-
ance when the railroad from Paris to Strasbourg shall be
opened.
