Our SHARE MARKET has been remarkably steady all
week, with the tendency of prices decidedly towards
improvement. This has been most marked in Leeds
stock, Dutch Rhenish, and Great Western of Canada
shares, in all of which there has been a decided ad-
vance. Other stocks are in demand also at higher
rates, excepting, perhaps, 4.40nd0n and North-Western,
which, from some unaccountable cause (it is rumoured
another investigation is imminent), continues very
heavy. The Eastern Counties report has been issued,
but not having given satisfaction. Mr. Waddington
promises explanation. ,Local 'stocks are steady and
scarce. We annex this day's prices :---Eastern Coun-
-.ties 8 11-16 ; Lancashire and `Yorkshire, 77 61 7 ;
.London Stock, 93* 4 4; -Midland Stock, 631 4 33 4 ;

COTTON.—The market during the week has been
steady, and buyers have operated more freely, owing
to ,the smallness of stocks, by which a decline has
been prevented which would otherwise have been the
case, as holders seemed willing torealise, and stocks
have been freely offered. Fair and better qualities
being more plentiful, have, however,, suffered a decline
of from 3d. to fd. per lb. The sales during the week
p to Friday amounted to 0,470 bales, of which 2900
were-taken on speculation, and 5790 for export, leaving
40,780 -for the trade. TO-DAY, the. advices by the
