FRANKFORT, Feb. 8, 1859.
Speculation at the Bourse continues very active
and all kinds OF stock are looking up. Austrian
bonds are now in favor. Coburg loans have risen
four and half per cent In day, and the re-
ports about the illness OF the Pope, which formerly
used to cause panic, have not Influenced the mar

made therein, and large amounts Of stock, sent here
from other places, have been totally absorbed
thereby. The market for Americans was supported
yesterday by higher prices from Berlin, Amsterdam
and London, where they appear to be now equally

Frankfort bankers, as those taken last year have
now been disposed OF. large loan for Italy, based
on ecclesiastical property, Is in way OF negotiation
and will be taken by a company Of London, Am.
sterdam and Frankfort bankers.

their Chambers proposal to regulate the question
about the property Of this town without her con.
