Aq usual on Saturday, the English Stock Market
has been particularly dull. Speculation has been
almost suspended, and the bona fide dealings have
been too limited to impart the least animation.

account--the prices at which they closed with a
heavy aspect the previous afternoon.

litan have receded about 10s., North British 10s.,
and South Eastern, 10s.; while Great Western have
improved about ss.

tain about previous rates.

values. Oriental Batik have improved to 604.

Shares are quoted 14 1 ; Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, 9d.
