The stability of a current-carrying cylindrical plasma is studied by using the nonideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in a shearless magnetic field. It is shown that for each m mode there are four marginal stationary states which, under some conditions, give rise to large scale stationary convection when nonlinear effects are taken into account.
