THE PRESS, JANUARY 23, 1858. the severe depression of trade. French shares have all suffered, but they have now rallied to about the prices to which they had attained previous to the attack of the 16th. To day there was a good de mand for Preference stocks. Bather large dealings have taken place in the shares of some of the Joint-stock Banks. The half yearly meetings, so far as they have been held, show them to be in a prosperous condition. Exchequer Bills have, during the week, advanced to 265. prem. ; but some realisations during the last day or two have caused them to decline about 33. To-day they closed at ltis. to 239. prem. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are considerably better. The number of unemployed operatives is less, and more mills are working full time. There are still complaints of the difficulty of effecting sales and of unremunerative profits ; but t r ade is certainly reviving, and it promises to be brisk in the spring. A foreign demand for some of our manufactures is evidently growing. Monday next will be observed in the City as nearly a general holiday. The Stock Exchange will be closed.

Coax EXCRANGE.—The receipts of homegrown wheat have been on . very limited scale. The demand, however, for all kinds still rules heavy. Over 9,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand. Even the finest samples moved off heavily, at barely previous rates. We had a dull inquiry for both barley and malt. The supply of oats was very moderate. On the whole, the oat trade ruled steady, at full prices. No change took place in the value of either beans or peas. The flour trade toted heavy, and country marks were lower to par chose. Comm Mk/MT.—The supply of beasts In to-day's market was limited; nevertheless, the beef trade ruled heavy. With sheep we were scantily supplied. All breeds moved off slowly at a decline in velum. Calves were in moderate supply and heavy request.. In pigs scarcely any business was transacted on easier terms. Mitch eows were very dull and drooping in price. BORnIiGH How MI/MT.—There is a steady d3mand for the best new hops. In other kinds, however, very few transactions have taken place.

The Memorial Fund, which it is now wished to rain he tie permanent endowment of these noble institutions, will be in- vested in the names of some of those personal friends of the founder who were originally joined with him la the 'worming of the schools. How earnestly Sir H.
