The Express.
London, England, 1851-03-04 00:00:00

Business in the share market continues remark-
ably brisk, and prices have again assurned a higher
range. With the removal of the disquietude excited
by the ministerial crisis, orders from the country
have come forward freely, and the speculators, both
in and out of the " House," have operated more boldly
under the influence of the relaxation noticed in the
rates of money. The lines most in favour to-day are the
Midland, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, Am-
bergate, East Lancashire, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
South Western, South Eastern, South Wales, and
York and North Midland, all of which have
been dealt in extensively at a further considerable
advance. Most other descriptions have also partici-
pated in the improvement, and altogether the mar-
ket has seldom worn a more buoyant aspect.

Tile market for the home funds has been very
steady to-day, prices being maintained at the full
improvement noticed as having occurred at the end
of last week. Attention, however, is still mainly
directed to the share market, the business in the
English public securities being trifling, and, with the
exception of a purchase of about 17,t190/. Consols by the
government broker,—altogether unworthy of special
notice.
Consols have been stationary all day, at 96! to A,
both for money and the account of the 11th March,
which rate may be considered a trifle better than
yesterday.
The prices of business officially reported are :
Three per Cent. Consols, 964, !; ditto for account,
961, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 971, ; New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98, ; Long An-
nuities, 1860, 71, 11-16; ditto, 30 years, 1859,
7 7-16; South Sea New Annuities, 96; Bank Stock,
215 t.
The easier position of the money market is further
illustrated by the increased demand for Exchequer

The exchange at Paris on London still keeps low,
but the bullion market there is unchanged.
The market for the foreign securities is firm, not-
withstanding an absence of active operations. Mexi-
can Bonds are still looking up, and the price to-day
has reached 341 for the account. Spanish Bonds are
quiet. The following is to-day's business list : Brazi-

After the urgent appeals of the merchants and the
disinterested kindness of Mr. Paxton in furnishing
a design which met with general approval, the
Gresham committee have given the following denial
to the memorial presented to them :
Merstersbhall, March I.
Gentlemen,—l ant desired by the Gresham Committee
to acquaint you, for the information of the gentlemen who
with yourself signed the memorial for covering over the
area of the Royal Exchange, that the committee, after
having had under their consideration several plans embrac-
ing this object, are of opinion after due deliberation that
they cannot entertain the prayer of the said memorial—l
am, gentlemen, vour most obedient servant,
Messrs. Itothacltild and Suns. 11. E. BARNES.
