LEEDS, MAT 2.

STOCK EXCHINGE.—The improvement manifested in shares during
the week has been most decided, and highly enhanced prices have
been realised for all old Stocks. Many of the better class of scrips
have also advanced materially. The effect of this altered state of
things has been to bring heavy sellers forward, and prices to-day
have not been quite so fully maintained ; but in the absence of intel-
ligence from London and Liverpool, at neither of which markets was
any business done yesterday, we do not feel justified in saying more
than that buyers will do well not to act with too much precipitation
in purchasing for the eusning account. The appearances in Leeds
certainly indicate some decline in prices just now, but that the decline
will be permanent we do not by any means anticipate. The all but
certainty of a continuance of our peaceful relations with America—
the prospect of a speedy settlement of the tariff question, and the
confidence resulting from Sir Robert Peel's "railway propositions,"
all tend to the continuance of high prices and the stability of the
trade, which is not a little supported by the relieved state of financial
affairs, and the consequent cheapness of money. The sales are—
