Our SHAREMARKET is,:very fiat, and, an the absence
,of anything to encourage from the seat cf 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 pamp,lllet, showing: tlaat 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 :--71.42alcashire
and .Yorkshire Stock, 821 4 42 1 ; London Stock,
94141; Midland Stock, 684 2-21; South Eastern,

Cgrroii.--ASince the early part :of the week the
-market has down considerable .animation which;ba;s
'been chiefly; ijiduced by the fine .weather for the .11.ar-
%vest, and the continued easinessokhe Money-market,
which, combined with the better accounts from Aus-
tralia anti 'lndic, have operated favourably on the
Manchester market. The sales for-the %week amount
-to .514470 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 -$;000 .bales,
including 1,000 for speculation and oxport, .and the
market .closed firmly ovithout alteration in prices, but
the tendency upward. The following is a comparison
of present -rates with, those of the correspondingperiod
of last year;:---

PRoDucz.-The Sugar market has been in a very
excited state during the week, and nearly everything
offering has been cleared off at an advance of ls. 6d, to
2s. per cwt. Coffee in good demand at very full
prices. Of Tea considerable sales have been made at
extreme rates, but common congous move off slowly.
For Rice an active demand at improving prices, in
some cases Is. per cwt. advance. Rum without
change. In Brimstone a large business has been done
at £4 15s. to £5 per ton. A further advance in Palm
Oil, the sales being at £4l 7s. 6d. to £42 15s. per
ton. Tallow in good demand. P.Y.C. at 575. 6d. to
58s. per cwt. TO-DAY there has continued a good
demand for Sugar, at firm prices, and, considering the

sive, comprising 70 hhds. Barbadoes at 40s. to 445.,
80 hhds. grainy Demerara at 445. to 475., a small

puns. Demerara have realised previous prices. We
have had more doing in Coffee, 1,700 bags Rio being
reported, chiefly at 395. to 425. 6d. for unwashed, and
at 465. for ordinary washed, also 100 bags Laguayra
at 555. per cwt. The Tea market continues steady,
but the transactions have been limited ; common con-
gou rules nominally at 81d. to 9d. per lb. There are
no sales to notice in Rice. 1,100 bags Saltpetre have

tion. We have also to report 50 tons Fustic at £5 2s.
