dealing reported continues ♦ery limited, and with-
out particular variation in prices. The weekly re-
- turns published yesterday show a diminution of
1,1081. in the traffic on the Caledonian line, com-
pared with the corresponding week of last year,
and not 11,0501., as inadvertently stated, the
• figures being as follows :—for 1854, 11,258/. ; and
for 1855, 10,1001. Foreign Railway Scrip is not
in request, and there are no quotations for the
Great Western of Canada.

Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares are
not much in demand. The few shares which have
changed hands show no feature worth remarking
upon.
