rather strong at the improved pric aoi yesterday, and
a slight advance has been establi shed in Bank and

somewhat dull in sympathy with. a, fall in Spanish
caused by the apparently unsettled political state of
the country. British Railways are :firm, with an im-
provement in South Eastern. The accounts of the
crops from the Continent are exceed; ;ngly favourable.
