LEEDS, DECEMBER 12.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The want of firmness noticeable
on the Share Markets on Friday and Saturday
continued for some days this week, and a reduc-
tion in prices resulted. To. day things look some-
what better, with more demand for several stocks; the
greatest call is for North British of all sorts, which seem
likely to regain their former position with rapidity; New-
castle and Berwicks, North Staffords, Shrewsbury and Bir-
minghams, Birmingham and Oxfords, as well as Melton and
Driffields, and some other lesser shares are rather better.
Dewaburys and Huddersfield and Manchesters have con-
tinued steady at former quotations—the Thirsk Preference
are lower, as the 6 per cent. interest upon them is only to
commence from the passing of the Acts for the Extensions.
