is dull, though no change can be reported either in the

however, are but feebly supported, and in several in-
Stances prices have slightly relapsed.
The demand for money is moderate, and the terms
in the open market remain a point or two above the
Bank minimum of 2 per cent.
The English Funds are steady, but without
quotable change. Consols are 94 to 04i- for money,
and 924 to 92 ex div. for account ; New and

'Midland, and Brighton, are offered. Lancashire,

hand, firmer. The prices are :—Lancashire and
