OUT SHIRE MARKET has continued to • droop all
•Aveek, and prices to-day are quoted lower • than for
some time past. London and North... Western have
declined to par; Midland to 711. ;'Leeds to 811. Ad-
,_verse rumours of coming reports are the cause of this
depression, As far as we can learn, however, these
,proceed from interested persons, and are =circulated to
,'benefit their speculative operations. We fare informed
on good authority, that the London will pay its. usual
,dividend, and issue a very satisfactory Teport. The
'Midland will certainly not pay less thwat the same
time last year ; and -there are those who think that
.they can, and will pay an increase of an eighth or
;quarter per cent., seeing they could have paid
premium at Christmas, but did not frhe Leeds
will pay 4as before. The traffic 'reports for the
half-year past are generally favourable. "The. London
has earned £29 per ,mile more than in 1854;
£163 more than in 1853. The reports of,our local
companies are also generally good. It is said that
the Royal Insurance Company will increase As divi-
dend to ss. per share. We annex the prices of this

CoTpoN.-;-The market during .the week has been
steady, prices having given way about id. for middling.
The trade is now well supplied, and the demand for
goods being slack, there is a disinclination to operate
until the probabilities of the future can be more clearly
ascertained. The sales for the week, up to Friday,
amounted to '45,410 bales, of which 11,780 were taken
on speculation, and 2,330 for export, leaving 31,300
for the trade. TO-DIY, there was a ,very slow market,
the sales being only 4,000 bales, including 400 on
speculation and-for export, but prices remain unaltered.
The following is a comparison of present rates with
those of the corresponding period last year:,--
