The tendency of prices in the Liverpool Share

A strong impression prevails that unless the
symptoms of improvement now observable are
marred by the re-occurrenee of failures on a large
scale, the recovery from the shock credit has
sustained will continue to make satisfactory
progress. The Funds opened rather firmly this
moining,,, but became flatter, and prices declined
3, owing to rumours that the question of granting
financial assistance to the Indian Government
will come before Parliament. Consols for
Money closed at 893 to 893, and for the
Account at 893 to 803. After official hours.
however, Consols were nominally quoted at 893
to 90.
The London Railway Share Market continues to
decline, with a very small business doing. The
following were the closing prices to•day:-
Ca!edoniana, 723, 734 ; Eastern Counties, HI
101; East Lancashire, 85, 87; Great Northern, 904,
914; Ditto A, 78, 80 ; Great Western, 473, 48 ;
Great Western of Canada, 173, 175; Grand Trunk
of Canada, sgl, ; Great Southern and West-
ern ; 96, 98 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 883, 883;
London and North Western, 933-, 934 ; London and
South Western, 845, 85 ; Leeds Northern, 474, 483 ;
Manchester, Sheffield. and Lincolnshire, 654
Midland Stock, 804, 803; North British, 46, 47 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 603 ; York. Newcastle and
Berwick. 90, 91 ; York and North Midland, 77, 78.
After offi hours the following were the nominal
prices:-Caledonians 631; Eastern Counties 10
3-16, 10 5-16 ; East Lancashire, 86, 88; Great
Northern, 903, 913; Do A, 78, 80; Great Western,

and Dover, 60 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick,

The Produce Markets have not improved-they
still keep dull and inactive,
The London Corn Market was moderately
attended to day, and with few transactions prices
were barely maintained. Oats were, however, 6d
dearer.

The upward movement in Grain and Flour in
France, which occurred when the law prohibiting
the export of Grain was abrogated. is now checked,
and prices are very weak both at Paris and in the
cc untry.

Accounts from Madrid, datel Saturday, state
that a considerable amount of Specie had been
sent to London.
The general situation of the Money Market re•
mains without any noticeable change, but there is,
nevertheless, a partill diminution of the pressure,
which was evidently increased by the commercial
difficulties of the past fortnight. During the last
few days only two or three houses have been com-
pelled to make known their embarrassments to
their creditors, and, as favourable arrangements
have been made, credit appears a little stronger.
All persons were rendered suspicious when the
failures occurred in such quick succession, and
among firms whose position was considered first-
rate. When it is found that these catastrophes are
less fr..quent, confidence, which is so essential to
accelerate an improvement, will be revived. The
influx of Australian gold, and the disposal of the
greater part of the supply by the Australasia to the
Bank, have caused general satisfaction, and engen-
dered a hope that our monetary and commercial
prospects are becoming rather brighter.
It is stated that the arrangements for enabling
the City of Glasgow Bank to resume payment are
making such progress as to encourage every hope
of a satisfactory issue It is considered that the old
Edinburgh banks,which may themselves be affected
by the continuance of the public distrust of the
banks, might, under proper precautions, to do their
part towards promoting an arrangement, the suc-
cess of which could not fail to have a great moral
Effect in the disturbed districts.
Our Manchester advises mention the stoppage
of Mr. Leopold Sampson, in the African trade,
with liabilities to the amount of between £60,000
and £7O 000

From Hamburg it is announced that Messrs.
Uliberg and Cramer have resumed payment.
The accounts of the Wolverhampton and Staf-
fordshire Banking Company show a deficit of
£32,000.

We (Leader) learn that Earl Grey is preparing for the
press a work connected with the progress of Parliamentary
Reform. Coming from the son of the Lord Grey of 1832,
it is sufficient to announce the authorship. The book will
be issued shortly, and will, of course, command attention.
