The stock markets are dull to-day, and the general course of prices is unfavourable. ,There are very few investments at the moment on account of the public, while the demand for gold for exportation is rather active. Speculators are consequently tempted to effect sales, in anticipation of still lower quotations being current during the next few days. The funds ,show no recovery from the fall which occurred yesterday, while some of the British railways and foreign stocks have again given way. Banking and financial shares are unchanged, in the absence of transactions. The fortnightly settlement, which still engages the attention of the dealers, will be completed to-morrow afternoon, after which some revival of business may take place. The discount market is quiet, with little busi ness, and the rate for choice bills is without varia tion, at 21 to 3 per cent. The supply of money in the Stuck Exchange is large, and short loans on English government securities are obtainable at 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 904 to 4 for money, and 902 for the account (February 7).

The present prices are :-5-20 Bonds, 73} to ; Erie Railway shares, 384 to 39} ; and Illinois Central, 794 to 804. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are still in quired for, and have experienced a fresh advance of 2s. 61, being now quoted 16 to 4. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference are steady, at 34 to 4.

The preparations yesterday for to-morrow's set tlement in the railway market showed generally a limited supply of stock, thus affording evidence that the recent temporary falling off in the traffic has encouraged a number of speculators to operate fora fall. The result was that the rates of " con tinuation" yesterday were light, and in several cases —as, for instance Midland, Manchester and Sheffield, and South Eastern—a " backwarclation" was given for the loan of stock till the next ac count.

Neill Brothers and Co., dated New York, the 15th inst.: The crop accounts continue of precisely the same cha racter as of late. There can be no doubt that the yield in picking out and in ginning has generally been considerably abort of what the planter themselves expected from the appearance of their crops in the held. As it will be admitted that they generally take too gloomy rather than too cheerful a view of their prospects, our friends will not be surprised that we gave them credit for not exag gerating in the latter direction in our early estimates. A considerable allowance must now of mums be made for the disappointing yield, but still we are very far from adopting the now pretty general estimate of 1,300,000 bales. Liberal allowance must still be made for the tendency which exists on the part of holders to under. estimate the crop, and nearly every one at the South in a holder. LONDON BETTING.-(THIS DAY.)

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.) Comparpd with Monday there was no alteration of imp portance in thP grain trade. The receipts of wheal from Ease: and Kent, both by ship and land carnage , were very moderate, and in but middhng condition. *With. standing the small quantity offered, no improvement wee apparent in the demand, and business was only concluded at llonday's fall in prices. Much the same may be said of foreign wheat, the allow of which was tolerably good. For all descriptions the trail., was in an unhealthy state, at the late reduction in value. off Falmouth and Queenstown, barley and maize were scarce, and were generally firmly held. Wheat, how ever, as well as other descriptions of produce, attest, were difficult to sell, and prices had a drooping t e n dency. Very little English barley was offered, but there was a fair supply of foreign produce. The inquiry was heavy, at Monday's quotations. In malt very little was doing, at late currencies. Oats were in fair supply and limited request at the recent decline. In beans, nothing of interest transpired, and peas were without alteration from our previous report. Flour ruled quiet, on former JAI UM The seed market generally ruled quiet, at late rates. Cakes realised full prices.
