Alter re covering per cent., prices are now quoted / per cent, higher than at the close of yesterday. Consols have touched 94/ to 1 ex div. for the 10th July, and are now quoted 94 to 1. Business is quiet. The Three per Cents. Rednoed have been dealt in at 931 to 941.; The New Three per Cents. at 94 to 1; the scrip of the New Loan, at 21 prem.; and Ex chequer Bonds, 1859, at 991. In the foreign market, attention has been entirely confined to the settlement. The only stocks that have met with business are : Mexican at 221 ; Turkish Six per Cents. at 991; and the Guaranteed Four per Cents. at 1031 and 1031. Prices in this department are generally fairly supported. The earn market yesterday was very firm. Monday's advance was fully maintained, and wheat and barley are in many cases held for higher price., this view being based upon the assumption that the existing stocks are unusually low. The decline in the value of money affords increased facilities for holding corn on speculation, and the unsettled state of our political relations with America may perhaps, exercise some influence. There is an increased inquiry for floating cargoes of grain, but transactions in this department of the market are checked by the small number of cargoes recently arrived. At the share eettlement yesterday the rates de manded for carrying over the purchases of speculative operators to the new account of the 30th inst. were generally rather , lighter than at t►e lest settlement, especially as regards Great Western stock. On French shares the rates averaged only about 6 per cent., indicating that there is little disposition here to speculate for a rise in these securities. In Paris the reveres is the case. Subjoined is a statement of the terms current at the commencement of business : Open) n rates. 7-16 to 9.16 per cent Imam sad Nortil WI to 1-111 ditto. 5 Id to 7.16 ditto. 6-16 to 7-16 ditto. 543 to per ohm ditto.

The half-yearly meeting at the African titeam-ship Company was held yesterday. The report showed a profitable result se to the steam-vessels, the earnings for the year having been 85,0001. The expenditure of the year left a clear balance of profit of 10,0001. A dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum was declared, and the report adopted. The Commercial Dock Company held their half yearly meeting yesterday, at which a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared. At the annual meeting of the Church of England Assurance Company, held yesterday, a dividend at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum was declared. The fourth ordinary meeting of the proprietary of the London Chartered Bank of Australia is called for the 27th inst., when a dividend is to be declared. We notice that a meeting of holders of share cer tified's in the Alliance Bank is invited for the 18th bet, to " take into consideration the present position et the company, and the course to be adopted." A half-yearly dividend, at the rats of 8 per cent per annum, and a bonus of 8 per cent., are to be pay able on the stock of the National Provincial Bank of En land on the 12th July. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 17th last. for the conveyance of troops and stores from England to Calcutta, and stores to Bombay. The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders on the 19th inst. for the hire of a ship to convey puma gers to Adelaide. The Admiralty have accepted the under-mentioned ships for the conveyance of stores, viz.: The Orient, for Newfoundland; Charity, for Gibreltar, and the In iiseible, for Hong-Kam. The return of the Bank of England for the week siding Saturday, June 7, when compared with the previous return, shows the following results: Mentalism tone Ofrealseisa naive 19,679,360 Increase 26,000 ffsitis dspiefts 3,297,127 Noreen 389,397 10 734 613 Decrease 10,748 at isib secarities is oaw beding s =rtnient .. 11,682,126 Demme 929,993 in benki;ig lispedmeat Oda me %a non in both Grist Wotan' Ildiellsad Lance.biro and TortAln Doran dapaTiarats Berea day aad other bills 805,604 Increase 31,766 The Hest Notes in reserve The subjoined exhibits the extent of the week's 1 variations at one view : _ ...

The increase in the bul.ion is upwards of 300,000 L, and in the reesrve of notes more than • quarter of • million. The decrease in the Treasury deposits is explained by the decline of nearly a mil lion in the government securities held by the Bank, which indicates that the Chancellor of the Exchequer ken been employing his funds, as they fl ow in, in repaying the advances previously made by the insti tution. Fatty= ETZWINO. The American difficulty is again weighing upon the stock markets, which, but for this source of anxiety, would probably exhibit a strong upward tendency. Prices have experienced a reduction of f pr cent., and closed at the wont point of the day. Tkis decline is solely attributable to the apprehension that Mr. Crampton's dismissal will be followed by that of the American Minister at this Court. Despite the lowering aspect of polities in this quarter, however, there is still an indisposi tion, in the best commercial circles, to believe that peace is really endangered by the disputes now pending. A favourable impression was produced by the declaration of the Park Moniteur, that the French government has no intention of bringing forward a loan, but this announcement failed to counteract the general downward tendency of the markets. The demand for money was to-day active, both at the Bank and out of doors. The fortnightly settle ment in shares and foreign stocks hes now coin mooed. In the Stock Exchange to-day money com manded 6 per cent. for loans on stock, being the same charge as is current at the Bank. Console, which closed yesterday at 94 6.16 to ez div., foe the 10th July, opened this morning at 941. to 1, receded to 931, end were last quoted 931 to 94. The official basieesa report is as follows : Three pet Cent. Canals, for account, 10th July, 941, 1, 94, 931 ex div. Three per Cent. Reduced, 941, 94, 931. New Three per Cents., 941,1, 1,1. 1.

The foreign stock market was rather dull, but the reduction io price was confined to Spaoish. The De ferred Threeper Cents. declined per cent. Turkish stocks ele wd the mune as yesterday, the Six per Cants. at 991 to f„ sod the Four per Cents. at 1031 to 1. The " contaligo" to the new account of the 30 b June ruled at 3.16 to 6.16 per cent. on each of these stock.. The miscellaneous transactions ex tended to Cuba Bonds, Peruvian Dollar Bonds, Gre nadian, Venezuelan, and the New Equador securities. On 'Change to-day the transactions in foreign bills were limited, and there was no i general alteration in the rates.

Very little business is going forward in home mining stocks and prices in many cases show a drooping tendency. Foreign and Colonial mining shares, of all de scriptions, are equally dull, and in the Stock Ex change, to-day, not a single transaction has taken place. Subjoined is a list of yesterday's transactions in the Mining Ex change and Stock Exchange: Mining F. bangs official list : Drab...rail', 26r. ; Greet Alfrrd, 3; Render. 21, I ; Rose terns United, 76; Troweths, 3}; Tribes., 2.

Scotch pig has also declined considerably in price, the colliers and miners generally baying returned to work, and the furnaces which were oat of blast are now nearly all in again; and as shipments usually fell off at this period of the year, stocks will probably quickly increase. Lead continues dull, and prises are lower. Speller maintains its price, the stocks being stnalL Tin is flat, and little business doing. COMMERCIAL AND TALLOW MARKET.-THIS DAT.
