Loadon, Friday Evening, March 27,1857. T...
Loadon , Friday Evening , March 27 , 1857 . Tine turmoil and excitement of the General Election , lias nigh banished business from the Stock Exchange . The Funds up to this forenoon seemed inclined to be film , but sellers this afternoon have made them give way . Railway heavy shares have been exceedingly buoyant all the week , those of the really progressive lines , Leeds , Midlands , South Westerns , East Lancashire , being most in demand . Berwicks , York and North Eastern , Dovers , and Caledonian have improved since last week . In foreign and colonial shares there has been a marked firmness , Paris and Lyons having been as high as Gil . per 201 . share . Northern of France have risen with Centrals and Westerns . Grand Trunk of Canada arc as high as 14 ? , i , and are going
beyond G-ieat Western of Canada ii > proportion . Trunk Bonds have risen three and four per cent . Indian shares meet with good steady purchasers—those that have received a guarantee from the Easfc India Company . Ceylon Railway and Riga shares are not so good . The depreciation of Joint-Stock shares , particularly those which are established in Australia , is very notable . That favourite property , Union of Australia , has fallen from 74 76 to 54 56 . Recent disclosures of the utter incapability , not to use a harsher term , of the directors of certain Joint-Stock banks , make the public distrustful . The good account of the prospects of the Ottoman Bank has sent these shares to 14 premium ; but as the account approaches , there seems a desire to continue , and not take them up . Bank of Egypt are not in favour . % , , , . In miscellaneous shares , there have been a few bargains —in London General Omnibus , Australian Agricultural , & e .
Mines are left untouched ; the Cornish men are so busy with their election , that they have no time to waste upon shares . Turkish Six per Cent , stock is rising with the prosnoot of tlio declared dividend of thrco per cont . for the half-year being soon paid . The wiseacres in the City , after having tried to laugh down or bluster at Lord John Russell's address ,-will probably end by electing him to-morrow-It is with great pleasure that we see the announcement of a company which undertakes the important task of providing us with wholesome food . The recent discoveries made by analytical chemists of the revolting adulterations of almost every article of consumption have opened our eyes to the fact that we are practically reduced to this dismal alternative—that we must either starve or bo slowly poisoned . Not without reason do we execrate the linkers of Hong-Kong , who endeavoured by poisoned bread to sweep off their enemies ; but our own bxkers aro not freo from
impeachment on somewha , t similar , if not quite such diabolical , grounds . And not only the bakers , but other tradesmen too . Even tho druggist , to whom we go to be cured after his fellow shopmen have made us ill—even ho , tho ropresentativo of / Esculapius , the ostensible devotee of Hypjieia , the inheritor of tho mantles of Galen and Hippocrates—even ho pestles a poisoned poison behind his crimson lights . " Therefore aro we glad to sec that there is in existence such a company as " The London "Unadulterated Food Company ( Limited ) , for tho Importation , Ma , uufacturo and Supply of Food , Drinks , and Drugs , in a pure state , " with a capital of 1 O 0 . 000 Z . in 5000 shares of 20 ? . each . Some admirable names aro to bo found in tho lists of Trustees and Directors ; as , for instance , General Sir John Forster Fitzgerald , K . C . B ., M . P . ; tlie Right Hon . Lord Thomas Pelham Clinton ; tho Hon . F . H . F . Berkeley , M . P . ; Captain W . Peel , & c . Dr . Lcthoby is to bo the chief analyst , and the Company will bank at tho Bank of London . If there is any doubt of the success of . tho undertaking , there must also be a doubt of the common sense of tho English people .
