factory, an amicable arrangement having been come

The railway share settling, which commenced to-
day, shows the account to be comparatively a light
one, business having been limited. Under these cir-
cumstances the market presents little distinctive fea-
ture. London and North Western stock is unfavour•
ably affected by the existence of a large " bull" ac-
count, which caused to 7-16 contango *.o be freely
paid by leading brokers, but generally there was no
pressure. 'Midlands are well supplied, and Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire and South Westerns scaicer.
