RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

LEEDS, JUNE 6.
STocx EXCHANGE.— Our comment on the state of the Share trade
this week is necessarily brief, as the extent of business passing 114.5
been so exceedingly limited as not to afford fair grounds on which to
form an opinion. This cessation of business is chiefly caused by the
intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays, although speculators aret
yet feeling their way, and evince no great inclination to
e
until the effect of the state of affairs in America is more clearly
de-
fined. Old stocks have been firm, indeed no decline of moment
can
be noted in anything. Local stocks are a little higher, with Der :n
burys, and Huddersfield and Sheffield are in request. ,
