The supply of English wheat here to-day, coastwise sod by laod•carriage, was very moderate. The attendance of millers was limited ; nevertheless, most of the wimples were disposed of at Monday's prices. With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Selected qualities sold steadily, on former terms ; but all other de scriptions ?net a dull inquiry at previous rates. Floating cargoes of wheat commanded full currencies. In other produce afloat the transactions were on a limited scale. The quantity of barley on offer was moderate. Really floe samples were in request on former terms ; but other qualities met a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no change took place. Malt was in good supply and sluggish request, at late currencies. Good sound oats were in demand, and quite &odour as on /Monday. Damp parcels were somewhat neglected. Beans changed hands slowly, at previous rates. The sale for peas was heavy, on former terms. The supply was limited. Most kinds of dour maintained their previous value, with a fair demand. Lined and TsPeened, u well as oaken, sold steadily, at full quotations. Most agricultural seed, were dull. CCItItISST PRICES. ENGLOUL Per Qr. ww?. a. a.

The stock markets opened this morning with great buoyancy, the upward movement in prices being promoted by the highly favourable Bank return, and, though the beat prices of the day have not in all cases been maintained up to the present hour, the quotations now current are materially better than those of yes terday afternoon. The rise in the funds is fully per cent. Home railways are decidedly higher. Foreign bonds and other securities are comparatively quiet, yet show a continued tendency to improve ment. The dincount market is quiet to-day, and the supply of money large. The rate fur good three mouths' bills is 7i to per cent. In the Stuck Exchange short loans are obtainable at 4 to 5 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 65fr. 05c., being a per cent. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 91 to 1, with div., for money, and 891 to 1, ex div, for the account (Dec. 8). The official business report is as follows ;-Three per Cent.

The Bank measure yesterday is the more welcome because it is generally regarded as the forerunner of a still greater fall iu therates. Already the terms in the general market are settling down at a point decidedly below the reduced minimum at the Bank, and the continued influx of gold, the appearance of the exchanges, the position occupied by our money market in relation to the markets ou the Continent, and the decided improvement shown by last night's return in the Bank of England accounts, all encou rage a belief that the downward movement will go on. The rate has been 9 per cent, since the Bth of September last. Since then the coin and bullion have increased from 12,970,447/. to 13,647,2701.—a difference of 676,82'31. ; and the reserve (notes and coin) from 6,810,582/. to 7,907,1751.—an increase of 1,096,5931. It is also worthy of remark that on the 26th of May last, when the Bauk rate was lowered from Bto 7 per cent., the coin and bullion were 13,713,9431., or only 66,6731. more than now, and the reserve 7,947,1381., or only 39,9631. more than now. From this comparison it would seem reasonable to argue that the Bank will soon be compelled to make a fresh reduction. ('heap money is unt to be looked for if only by reason of the extensive demands which are expected to come upon us at the first favourable opportunity from several needy foreign governments, to say nothing of other demands from abroad, and of the probable revival of joint stock enterprise at home, but the trading classes in this country will be content with the prospect of some further moderate relief. That the commerce of the country must benefit by the change in the position of the money market needs little demonstration. Apart from other con siderations, it is evident that if capital commands a higher value in this country than in the other prin cipal markets of Europe, our traders and manufac turers must be placed at a disadvautagsby compari son with traders and manufacturers abroad. Nearly all persons practically conversant with business have been unanimous for some time past in declaring that the terms lately charged for accommodation could not be paid long without occasioning a great contraction not merely of speculative, but also of legitimate operations. Whether such high rates were really necessary, except to carry out in its integrity the Act of 1844—a measure apparently framed with the object of enriching au already wealthy class at the mist of the multitude of smaller traders—is an inquiry the discussion of which—if necessary by a parliamentary committee—our so complished Minister of Finance would do excellent service in promoting. The amount of injury which the operation of the Act in the present instance has inflicted will never be known, for it will never be computed either by the holders of securities, who have seen them so seriously depreciated, or by the trading classes, who have been compelled to sacri fice their stocks of goods, and to pay most exor bitant rates for accommodation. For such losses, there can be but • very partial compensation iu the gains realised by the large capitalists who stand ready on all such occasions to avail themselves of the opportunities for buying presented to them by the stringent working of the law. The prospects of Stock Exchange business are also much improved by the present and prospective fall in the value of money. Every now and then the upward course of prices has been checked by rumours of impending mercantile failures, yet nothing can be more absurd than this, for it is per fectly certain that a mercantile house before intimating to its creditors its inability to meet its engagements, has sold or pledged every security iu its possession. But there is a view to be taken beyond this :—The more distrust has been dis seminated in commercial circles the less desirous will the public be to place their money in those channels, and the more anxious will they be to invest in solid securities obtainable through the medium of the Stuck Exchange. Before long, in all probability, lower rates than those now given will be offered for deposits by the joint-stock banks and other financial establishments, and this will impart a furthur stimulus to it-vestments. Then we have to bear in mind the additional con sideration that at the approaching close of the year the dividends of our great railways and banks will probably be unusually good—the former, because traffic has been extremely satisfactory, :did economy has not been teglected ; and the latter, because there has been an unusually wide martin between the rates paid by the banks for money awl those at which it has been employed. The better the re turns which the public derive from these important investments the more able and willing will they be to invest afresh. The present appearances are, therefore, in favour of a steady appreciation of ex isting securities until prices reach stic!i a point as to provoke the usual creation of more. Tile dif ficult task will theta arise of discriminating care fully between the frrsh stocks which are sure to be pressed upon us from every quarter. The fortnightly settleuient in shams ail foreign stocks will begin to-morrow ("continuation day") and end on Tuesday. The sum of 20,0001. in gold was snit into the Bank yesterday. The City of Washington, from New York, 1 - .. as brought 147,0001. in specie. The amount of gold shipped from Melbourne for England during the mouth—viz., from the 24th August to the 24th September —was 143,040 f. The telegrams describe trade as dull. Messrs. M. Caspari and Co., general merchants, stopped payment yesterday, with liabilities for about 100,000/s, tuo,tly due to creditors abroad. The liquidation, it is anticipated, will prove satisfactory. The house has beeu established about six years. The circular issued is subjoined : With sincere regret we have to inform you is ron. sequel:a* of the suspension of one of our eorrespoodente at Hamburg, and the nonsarrival of due remittances from Spain, we are cou,pelled to suspend payment.

With reference to the market for Aincrkan se curities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaitereporta a folios's: Since oar last of this day week we have had a eery fires market in London for American securities, and much dawns. Bon shown to buy United States 5.30 Bonds sad Illinoisshoess; the former touched and the latter 5.44, but to-day, ow receipt of advices from New York reporting an advaiwas is the premium on gold to 136, free sellers of both stocks op peered, and a decline was established ; the market, how ever, closes firm at 41 to for United States 5.10 Beads. and 52 to for Illinois shares. Some investments ere almost dailmade in the various descriptions of Athletic and Great Western Bonds at the low rates now ruling. _ . For the auction of the Redeemable (Passive) Debts of Spain, which will take place ou the 30th inst., at Madrid, the amounts nominally maigmed by the government are as follows :—RA. 1,833,169, for the redemption of the Ist clam Interior Stock ; Rs. Vn. 616,080, for the redemp tion of the 2nd class Interior Stock ; Re. Va. 14,333,402, fur the redemption of the 2nd awl Exterior Stock. Thecrown agents for the colonies have announced the half-yearly interest on Ceylon and Mauritius Government Debentures. The mails from Calcutta and Australia, via Mar seilles, are expected to be distributed in London about the 17th kat. Tile return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Nur. 9, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active 20,390015 Decrease 653,725 Public deposits 4,5G0,536 Increase 787,886 Other deposits Government securities in banking &feu-tweet 9,972,7,42 Increase 588,003 Otb eraecurit ler to banking department Coin awl bullion in both departments Seven day and other bills 529.294 frecre.ure Altel The Rest 3,304,487 locrease 32,696 Notts in reserve Total reserve inotes It coin in banking department) . 7,907,175 Ineraure 987,584 This return is highly favourable. The reserve has increased no leis than 987,5 W., &movement which is chiefly owing to the large influx of public and private deposits. It will bo seen that the Bank has repossessed itself of 588,0001. of the government securities which it lately parted with. The coin and bullion have at the same time increased 333,8291. Upon such figures as these, the Bank directors could not hesitate any longer to redoes the rate of discount. It would seem that with a reserve of eight millions, the rate cannot long be kept up at 8 per cent.

SHIPPING tirwrowt , m—The following official notice to persons in charge of steam vessels when passing ships taking in gunpowder wee promulgated this morning : —" In order to prevent accidents being caused by sparks from the funnels of steamers to ahipe taking gnopowder on board, it is particularly requested that persona in charge of steamers will, when paging such vessels, keep their course u far es possible from them." THE WRONG Issraniesr.—A native church had ' recently been eriarted, and some friends of the Maori race had subscribed to purchase a harmonium, capable of playing &certain number of sacred airs without the aid of an or ganist. It was, in fact, constructed on the same principle as the hurdy-gurdiee to he seen in the streets of London, and differed only from them in its airs bring sacred and not secular. It so happened that the tradesman from whom it was bought had imported at the same time another bistro. mast similar in appearance and construction, intended for the amusement of • Maori chief, who had a taste for the popular airs of the day. By some mistake the secular in strument was forwarded instead of the sacred ; and nothing was known of this till the opening of the church. A stal wart Maori had been selected to grind the music, and the officiating minister, suspecting nothing, gave out a hymn. When the Maori began to turn the handle, the accursed in strument gave no uncertain sound it struck tip that lively popular air, "Pop goes the Wessel." The poor minister was speechless with horror and surprise, but the congress tiou innocently joined in with the lively notes, end rather admired the new air selected for the solemnity. The minister held up his hand es a signal to stop. but the per forro-r mistaking his meaning. only made the handle revolve with greater readily : he stamped with rage and impetience, but faster sod faster resat the instrument, till the emigre. gation were almost breathless in their efforts to keep OP with it. At length the =Mister took • sensible view of the subject he observed that the congregation suspected no thing, and came to the sound conclusion that there is no scandal where there in no diacovery. Ile submitted to the evil for one day, bat had the mistake rectified without delay. it is moil WAG the congregation still regret the ab- 11eLCi of the lively instrument which led their devotions at the opening of the church. —From es Mwjazine for No. 1 amber. ei goo 16.1.; of retie k. 100 Victoria Stn. & Pimlico Si 100 Waterford & Kilkenny St. liin Wilk Cornwall St. ,100 W.flartlpL 'Sub.& 11.1 1 Bitirlfili ?Of SIC! ain.wairs: 100 all Atlantic& 11.
