Business in the Railway Share Market has been
Inactive; prices, however, have shown rather more
firmness. Bristol and Exeter, Great Northern',
Great Westerns, and Midlands, have improved ss. ;
South Easterns, 103. ; and North Eastern (Ber-
I/jek), 15s, ; but London and North Westerns Have
declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
been dealt in to a very small extent, and prices
have undergone little charge of importance.
