LEEDS, AUGUST 1.

STOCK EXCLIANGE.—On reference to the Share List sent here-
with it will be observed that the most material advances have taken
place in the value of shares, with an exceedingly increased extent of
business. The cause of this improvement is to be traced in some
measure to a renewal of that spirit of speculation which proved se
disastrous last year, although no doubt the plenitude of money, the
favourable appearances of all foreign relations, the settlement of
strong party political questions, and the prospect of an abunditiA
harvest and a good trade., exercise most material influences on the
teefings of capitalists, Lead render railway investments more earnestly
sought after. The advances at an early period of the account
strengthen the opinion that further imorovernett will take place.
