The information communicated this morning to the mer-
cantile public, by our Contemporary the Morning Herald,
that the Zollverein tieaty very recently settled is favourable
to British manufactures, as nu increase of duties is to be
made, has given great satisfaction to the merchants here.
Still, him ever, there are in the minds of many very serious
apprehensions entertained that the news is too good to be true,
especially after a communication which appeared in the Leeds
"tiercary of Saturthiy last, that the tariff had been altered to
the prejudice f our trade. At all events sanguine expecta-
tions are entertained that if any change has really
been made, it will not be so inimical to British in-
terests as was 81 generally expected some time since.
A rather severe fall has ttsken place in the quotations of
the Funds this morning, brought about principally by sales
of money stock. There was also a considerable desire shown
to Bear the prices by speculators for the Accounts.
There is not any truth in the report that has been
circulated rather freely in the City, that the Sa-
vings' Banks depositors have withdrawn largely
their cash fur the purpose of making deposits upon railway
shares ; still money to a larger amount is required to pay
deposits upon railway allotiLents, and this will keep the
market tight for some time to come, no doubt, and the sails-
factory result will be produced of driving out of the market
all the trashy schemes for new railways that have been set
afloat, and also put an end to the concoction of others.
Sires the preceding remarks were written there has been
-a considerable rally in the Stock Market, amounting to not
less than % per cent. Consols have recovered from 96% to
97% for Money, and from 963/ to 97% for the Account.
Every effort possible has been made to excite alarm in the
City, but with only temporary success. The attempt to de-
press the market for Consols and other investments is made
by parties who desire quotations to be very much
lower, so that they may come in upon the most
advantageous terms. The Reduced Three per Cent. Annui-
ties have improved from 95% to 96%, and the New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 971/2 to 98%. Exchequer-bills
opened at 405., but have ra'lied to 435. Bank Stock has
advanced to 207.
There were brat few bargains quoted in the Foreign Stocks
to-day,and, as was the state of our own Funds, priced opens d
extremely heavily at the commencement of business. The
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been sold'at 581 i, a decline
of 1 per cent.; the Spanish Three per Cents. at 36% ; the
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 583/4 ; and the Mexican
Five per Cents. at 31%
The Railway Share Market has been supported a great
deal better than might have been anticipated. In fact, some
of the best Shares have improved—such as the Liverpool and
Manchester, the London and Birmingham, the Northern and
Eastern, &c. The Foreign lines are pretty firm, the fall in
them being slight indeed.
