The contribution of anisotropy to the stress tensor for a mixed phase is found; it turns out to have an antisymmetric part. Additional forces act on the vortex system due to the anisotropy. If an anisotropic material in a uniform external magnetic field is also inhomogeneous (e.g., deformed), macroscopic persistent currents accompany the inhomogeneity. These currents are calculated in a simple case.
