SHARE MARKET, THURSDAY EVENING.
We have had to-day the best market for Shares which has been
known for many months, and are glad to notice as a gratifying
feature that the large amount of business done has been almost
entirely confined to bonafide purchases for investment, and not for
the temporary purposes of speculation. The principle Shares in
demand have been Great Western Halves and London and Bir-
mingham New Shares. The former were done at 351, 36} to 3,
leaving off buyers. The London and Birmingham were done at
46 and 463 ; Birmingham and Gloucester at 66 ; Chester and Bir.
k'enhead SI ; South Western 453 ; Midland Counties opened at 881,
and were afterwards done at go, 903 and 91; North Midland Halves.
were sold 10 and 193; York and North Midland at 533, and
Brighton 24. Great Western old Shares were also in demand, but
only one small lot was in the market, for which an advance wis
asked, and we expect that in the course of the evening it will be
acceded to.
