Our SITAREMARKET is very flat, and, in the absence
of anything to encourage from the seat of war, prices
of English Stocks droop almost daily. The public
do not buy, and the dealers make the quotations to suit
their own purposes. It is said that one of their number
is about to issue a pamphlet, showing that railways
are still above their value ; and, upon the strength of
the anticipated effect upon this, some heavy specula-
tive sales have been made. Foreign Stocks are steady,
especially Dutch Rhenish and Luxemburg, which are
being much bought. We annex prices :---Lancashire
and Yorkshire Stock, 82.1 I 2 1.1 ; London Stock,
941 s 1; Midland Stock, 684 9c. St 2 I; South Eastern,
182 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Linconshire, £6 Pre-
ference, p. ; Dutch Rhenish, 11 13-16 Ip.
Carrox.---Since the early part of the week the
market has shown considerable animation, which has
been chiefly induced by the fine weather for the har-
vest, and the continued easiness of the Money-market,
which, combined with the better accounts from Aus-
tralia and India, have operated favourably on the
Manchester market. The sales for the week amount
to 51,470 bales, of which 5,220 were taken on specu-
lation, and 5,700 for export, leaving 40,550 for the
trade. The sales on Friday and Saturday were 12,000
bales each day ; and to-day they were 8,000 bales,
including 1,000 for speculation and export, and the
market closed firmly without alteration in prices, but
the tendency upward. The following is a comparison
of present rates with those of the corresponding period
of last year :---
