exhibit a further upward tendency. Some of the
railway stocks have risen, while others have
given way. Consols are steady at the improvement
of yesterday. United States 5-20 Bonds con-
tinue in demand, and are again better. The
inquiry extends to some of the bank-
ing, financial, and miscellaneous shares.
It is anticipated that a portion of the dividends
will be invested in the Stock Exchange, in conse-
quence of the inanity of bankers and others to
employ their funds in commercial channels.

The only change in Indian stocks is a rise of 4
in the Four per Cents., viz., 1034 to 104. The

216 ; the Five per Cents., 1141 to 113 ; the bonds,

These works, furnished with all the most modern appli-
ances, and possessing a motive power of 300 horses, will
be able to roll 20,000 ponds (318 tone) per week. They
