In our SHARE" MARKET, during the week, we
had a steady business, with stock scarce, and the
late advance well maintained. This evening prices
are about the highest point of the week, London
stock being close upon 105 ; Midland, 66; ; Leeds,
66. It is said that London and North Western is
to pay 51, and that the Midland is to give a most
satisfactory report, and an increased dividend—
these prospects of the leading lines tend to
strengthen the tone of the market generally..
Local stocks are- steady at former rates. We an--
nex prices :—Caledonians, 311 318 ; East

PROM:TR.—The markets during the week. have
been generally inactive, particularly Sugar and
Tea. Palm Oil'has, however, been more inquired
for, and there has been an improved demand for
Tallow.—TO-DAY, the Sugar market continued
steady, and; including Saturday's sales, the busi-
ness comprised: 5O hhds. grainy Barbadoes, at
355. 6d., and' 5000 bags Bengal, at 38s. to 395. 6d.
for Benares, and at 325. to 365. for Dates. At auction,
this morning; 400 hhds. Louisiana were offered,
but only 60•hhds. were sold, chiefly at 345..t0 385.;.
50 hhds..Cuba were withdrawn, but 110 hhds. 135
brls. Porto Rico. realized 355. to 395. ; 30 hhds. St.
Croix have also been taken sale, by private, at 375. to
38s. 6d. per cwt., both parcels subject to 12s. duty..
Nothing: has transpired in Molasses or Rum.
Within the last few days upwards of 1000 bags
Bahia Coffee have changed hands, at: 445. 6d. to
455. 6d: per cwt. The Tea sales have only been of
a retail character, at about previous prices. By.
public sale,. 1400 bags middling Bengal Rice rea-
lized' 135.. per cwt., being a very fa. rate, and a
small parcel of St. Lucia Logwood. £5 7s. 6d. to,
£5 10s. per ton.
COTTON.—The dulness which prevailed' at the;
earlier part of the week experienced a reaction on,
Wednesday, owing to the morefavourable accounts.
from the seat of war in the East, and the easy
state of the money market.. The sales for the
week, up to Friday, amounted to 60,230 bales;, of
which 6530 were taken on speculation, and 8300
for export, leaving 45,400 bales for the trade ;; and
prices may be quoted 1-161 per lb. higher for
middling.—TO-DAY the sales amounted to, about
10,000 bales, and the market was firm,, the ten.
dewy being upward, without any lositive advance.
The present stock of American is 610,060 bales
against 616,910 at this time last year.. The fol-
lowing is a comparison of prices between this year
and last :

WooL.—The trade has been

.cupied this week

with the public sales here, which commenced on
the 20th instant, when 10,144 bales were offered
for public competition, viz., 5671 bales East India,
1170 Buenos Ayres, 1071 Turkey, S'fax, Moga-
dore, &c., 797 Egyptian, IV Portugal, 670 Chili
and Peru, 83 Mohair, 50 Russian, and 185 sundries.
East India was the only description which com-
manded anything like an animated competition,
and nearly all sold at a shade under the ruling
prices at the late London sales, except good and
middle white, which were fully up to the mark,
and some even a shade higher. For Buenos Ayres,
Chili, and Portugal, there were no buyers to be
found ; and the owners of the Mediterranean des-
criptions not being disposed to meet the market,
they were nearly all withdrawn. From the an-
nouncement of further failures in the worsted
district, and the low price at which English Wools
are coming into the market, it was not expected
that much else but East India would be sold at
these sales, as the descriptions which come into
competition with English as well as low short
Wools, are held comparatively higher than our
home grown Wools,
which the trade prefer when
