STOcK ExCaattcoL—The trade has continued dull with very little
disposition for speculation, either for a rise or fall ; but the improve-
ment in the funds has made prices of some stocks rather higher, and
the appearance of this morning's market is better than any previous
day of the week. London and Brightens are higher, and in demand.
Great Westerns are also sought after. Manchester and Shefilelds are
not so good. West Riding Unions arc improved, as also are Great
Northerus; and enhanced quotations from this day se'nnight are to
be noted in York and Newcastles, Midlands, and Londons and North-
Westerns. The sales are—Eastern Counties, York Extension, 4s. die.

A WINDFALL.— A days since it occurred to
the occupier of a farm in this immediate neighbourhood,
to try his luck in turning over the soil of a portion of
a potato-field which had, last year, it seems, been aban-
doned by the then tenant, from the premature conclusion
that ;the crop would not repay the toil of digging, when,
lo! with a little perseverance, he collected some thirty sacks
of emllent potates.—.Dory Chrouicte.
