SHARES.

The movements in the Share Market have been
trifling, and the general business transactions are un-
important. One the whole, the tone of the market
has been flat, although the weekly traffic returns
published this morning bear a favorable aspect,
exhibiting a marked increase over the corresponding
receipts of last year on nearly all the principal lines.
