pool yesterday. Sales 5,000 bales, including 400 American

tian were nearly %d. per lb. clearer than yesterday week,

inst., diminished their circulation by 83,350/., but those of
Ireland augmen' ed theirs by 15,4421. as regards the private
and joint-stock establishments, and by 8,000/. as respects the

creased its paper issues by 89,970/. ; its bullion by 146,374/. ;

There is a steady market for Consols, but the transactions
are limited. The quotations have been 9934 to % for pre-
sent transfer, and 100 to 1/2 for Account; Exchequer-bills
are 675. to 655. premium ; Bank Stock for Account is 2171/2
to 215.
The Foreign Stocks are very dull, though firm. Spanish
Three per Cents realise 301/2 1,4 ; Portuguese Converted, 67
to 67% • and Mexican, 36%. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per
Cents. bring 63%.
This is settling day in the Share Market, but there has
been a good general business, chiefly in the scrip and small
shares. Caledonian shares have advanced again, and Shrews-
bury and Wolverhampton have been in favour; the York
lines have been quieter; Brighton have rallied. In the
French shares there is not much doing.
