Continued very satisfactory state of business in the manufa

taring districts leads us to hope for more prosperous times
for importers, who are at present heavy losers by
almost every article. The shipping interest is atlast re-
covering from the great depression experienced for
a length of time ; freights, as well as the value of

returns just Published to 31st October, show a very
great increase in the declared value of exports from
the United Kingdom, it being for the ten months
£108,755,184, against £96,579,126 in 1858, and
£106,721,381 in 1857. The consumption of all articlr
progresses most satisfactorily; and Sugar, Seeds, P
petre, and Rice have increased in value. The

The Daily Hews gives an aPProximatincr estimate of
the dividends in some of the leading raifway.stocks as
compared with same period last year. It is conjectured
that Great Westerns will pay .3 or 34-, instead of 24;
Midland, 6 instead of 54 . South Eastern, 6 instead of
5; London and North !Western, 5 instead of 4*;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 5 instead of 4 ; North
Eastern, Berwick, 5 instead of 41 ; North Eastern,
York, perhaps 4 instead of 4. •
' Public securities continue to rise: all good dividend-
paying stocks are in increased demand for investment.
Tho English funds have again risen 4- per cent. Indian
securities were in prominent demand, and British rail-
way stocks, both preferential and ordinary, were decid-
edly higher : in the latter department more animation
prevailed to-day than for a long time past. Best bills
are readily discounted at 24 per cent., and the demand
has not increased. A further sum of £28,000 in bar
gold was taken from the Bank to-day for the Continent.

for exportation. The Vanderbilt has brought about
