Light changes of 48 variable stars in a 0.9 x 0.9 deg field with the center at 05 h 10 m - 68.9 deg in the LMC cluster NGC 1854 are studied. Refined values of Cepheid periods are obtained, and possible changes when compared with the data of Payne-Gaposchkin (1970), obtained in the first half of the century, are identified. The calculated distance modulus of LMC m-M is 18.08 +/- 0.14 m if the period-luminosity relation of Kraft (1961) for Cepheids of the galaxy is applied.
