A steady business is still reported in the general
aLseount market, and the inquiries are much smal-
ler than usual at this period of the year, owing, of
course, to the general depression of trade. The
rates, however, may yet exhibit a little more firm-
ness before the payment of the April dividends,
?wing to the revenue collections, the subscriptions
to the Turkish Loan, and other descriptions of new
Nut stock enterprise.

ecnitisue,rl heaviness of the Paris Bourse have pro-
duced an unfavourable effect upon the English
