s inanimate, and

7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export, and

500 were taken on

speculation. Compared with

the rates current on Friday, prices, of all kinds

were unchanged, with the exception of really

good stapled American, wh;ch was in demand

and scarce, and consequently a • point dearer

The market was well supplied

Most Public Securities were dull of

and

the priees showed a fractional decline. In Consols

the adverse action was only to the extent of 9:lc-

eighth per cent.; but in other descriptions. there

was an apparent heaviness

No great activity

was noticeable, in any department, the dealings

having been restricted through the operators
being occupied with the arrangement of the

monthly account, which is being gradually

adjusted in a quiet manner. Foreign
Stocks, and Railway Shares, though quoted
lower, did not experience a severe depre=

ciation; but the effect of , sales was more
perceptible, and the flatness evidently augmented
-when the weather became _unfavourable—The

Government broker's purchase on behalf of the

savings' banks was I:10,000 in New Three p

Cents., that stock, for the instant, being the most

advantageous medium for this investment

movement of any consequence was observable after

the close of the ordinary business.

The general aspect of the English Railway
Share Market was unfavourable; and, added to

an absence of animation, the current prices seemed
weak, though no important decline took place.

The re-action was confined to a few varieties only,

including London and North-western, South-wes4.-
ern, •Berwicks, and Yorks, which fell ss. per share;

Bristol and Exeter closed at 96 to 98 ex div

Caledonian, 86 to 861; Eastern Counties, 561 to

WEDNESDAY EVENING

The market has been so quiet as scarcely to

present a feature to remark on. Consols opened

at the closing prices of yesterday, and through-

out the morning scarcely varied in value

latest quotations, however, indicate -firmness ; and
a further purchase of £lO,OOO New Threes, by
the Bank broker, was likewise effected. Consols
