Our SHARE MARKET was very much depressed
at the early part of the past week, in anticipation of
the further raising of the rate by the Bank. Prices,
however, reached their lowest point on the day of
the meeting of the directors. Since that day
(Thursday) there have been symptoms of returning
confidence, and prices each day have steadily ad-
vanced. Money, too, is becoming more easy, and
from all appearances in this market, the account of
the Bank will soon be forgotten. We annex this
day's prices :—Chester and Birkenhead, 22 ; Cale-
donians, 32i 3; Eastern Counties, 12k; East Lan-
cashire, 181; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 792 I. 80
