MONEY MA PITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Less activity has been apparent during the last few days in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, and, owing to large•Aiyivals of most of the principal staples, prices have given way to a limited extent. Tea at public sale went off very heavily, at about previous values. The better qualities of sugar have been taken by the trade to some extent, at a slight reduction in value, but there has been little speculative business, and in the Refined Mar- ket the transactions have been merely of a retai character. A good demand, however, has been ex• perienced for coffee, and the superior qualities o Plantation Ceylon have sold readily at enhanced values. Rice, rum, and fruit are in moderate de mand, and the recent arrivals of new raisins have sold readily at full values. Saltpetre and tallow have been in limited request, and the latter article has slightly declined in value. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani fested less animation, and prices remained without any material alteration. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market a fair business was transacted., and quotations were firm. The Bank of France return for the month ending yesterday has been published to-day, and, as anti• cipated, its general features are of a very encourag ing description. The most prominent alteration is the accumulation of coin and bullion, the total having now reached nearly 231 millions sterling. This collection is larger, we believe, than any pre viously recorded, and it is stated in private letters from Paris that a further augmentation is not improbable. The discount operations of the establishment have diminished, the falling off being nearly a million sterling. This movement, how ever, is somewhat irreconcilable with the state of trade throughout the country, but the re-action in commercial affairs has not yet, probably, made sufficient progress to exhibit its influence upon the money market. Owing to a partial revival of specu lative dealings in the Rente and Railway Shares ,the advances in the public securities show a mate rial increase. An impression appears to be enter tained that the terms of discount will be lowered next week, inasmuch as it is considered that \ the position of the establishment will warrant that im portant concession to the commercial community. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced being shut, is in favour of Consols, inasmuch as invest ments on behalf of the Government or public insti tutions will, for a month at least, have to be made in the latter security. The following are the days appointed for - the re-opening of the transfer books : —Bank Stock, October 19; Three per Cent. Re duced, 20 ; New Three per Cent., 21; Long Annui ties, Jan., 1860, 19 ; Annuities, October, 1859, 19 ; ditto, April, 1888, 19. A further sum of £16,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The arrivals of specie announced this morning comprise the City of Washington, from New York, with £18,500, and the Teviot, from Alexandria, with £51,900. The ordinary general meeting of the East Anglian Railway Company took place to-day. The report was not favourable, as it showed a consider able falling off in the gross receipts, which amounted to £24,493 17s. 2d. After the working expenses payable to the Eastern Counties Com pany, there remained a balance of £14,006 3s. 3d, froth which the interest of bonds, and that on the It and C stocks were paid, leaving a balance of £5B 10s. sd. to be carried to the rest account. The decrease in the gross traffic was attributable to the effects of the late commercial crisis, and the depres sion of the coal trade in the north of England. The directors were happy to state that the bonds fallen due since January had been renewed at a reduced rate of interest. Some discussion took Place, and the report was adopted. The Market for the English Funds is tolerably well maintained, but there is no speculative activity. Satisfaction has been expressed at the Bank of Prance Return, and operators, although very shy, show a disposition to buy rather than sell stock, notwithstanding the high point which prices have already attained. Consols have been 971 for money, and 971 1 for the account. The present prices are 96 7 1 97, and 97 to 971 respectively. The New 3 per Cents. have been 971 a and 971 ; the New 21 per Cents., 81; the March Exchequer Bills 345.; June. ditto, 235.; ditto Bonds, 1001. India Stock is firm at 216 ; ditto Scrip (second issue), 981 1; and Bank Stock for account, 2291. A further improvement has taken place in the market for Foreign Securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 961- 95 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1858, 96 4; Mexican 0 per Cents., 21t 1-; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 891 90 ; Russian 41 per Cents., 1001; gpanish 3 per Cents., 462 ; ditto Deferred, 291 4 ; tlitto Passive, 111 ; Austrian 5 per Cents.,sB3l ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 651 ; and ditto 4 per Cents., 102 4. Turkish New Scrip is par to 1 premium. With reference to the market for American securities, Ife§srs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., report as follows :—" There is no change in the market for American State stooks. The speculation in Illinois Central shares still continues, and the price has advanced to 23 to 21 dis." Redeemable.

The attendance was not quite so large as might have been expected on a " Thursday before the St. Leger," and speculation ruled very dull. Toxopholite maintained his position for the St. Leger ; 2 to 4 was the highest offer against him, but backers were disinclined to do business under sto 2. The Hadji receded to 11 to 2 (offered.) The odds quoted against Eclipse were booked to a "pony" only. After 500 to 10 had been laid two or three times against Longrange, ten points less were taken. The betting on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire was too limited to require comment. CLOSING PRICES. ST.

Honesty Indian Queen Merry Morn THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were very moderate, and the show of samples was, consequently, limited. For good and fine qualities we had a fair demand, and Monday's currency was well supported ; but low and damp wheats changed hands slowly at barely late rates. The imports of foreign wheat are 7,890 quarters. As millers generally operated with much caution, the business doing in all kinds was limited. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were steady. Good and fine barley, both English and foreign, was very firm in price ' • but light parcels were a sl ow i nqu i r y. We had a fair demand for malt, at extreme rates—the best qualities having realised 725. per quarter. Oats, the supply of which was moderate, were in fair re quest, at Monday's quotations. Bean; and peas were very firm; but flour commanded very little attention. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley English 1,930 470 Irish - Foreign 7,390 6,810 Malt. Oats.

Wind W. S.l Y, mo3orate p CAPTAIN GRANT'S COOKING. For want of a better definition, man has been described as a cooking animal. If we were to judge of his right to such a designation by the exploits of our soldiers in the Crimea, our hardiest heroes would. have but little title to the distinctive characteristic of humanity. Captain Grant has devoted himself to the improvement of the soldier in a matter which concerns so intimately his health, as well as his comfort, with all the enthusiasm of a Soyer. We have now before us a return made to the House of Lords last session, of the proceedings of two Committees and of a correspondence, on the merits of Captain Grant's cooking apparatus. The truth is, that man—notwithstanding the defi nition above referred to—is by no means a cooking animal by nature, any more than he ' a clothing one. Food is, if anything, more im •tant than. clothes or shelter, and yet it has, in m country, been infinitely less regarded. While science and art have each exhausted all their resources in the adornment and preparation of textile fabrics— while the builder and architect have exerted all the mathematical and poetical powers of the human intellect in the erection of the triumphs of their art —the preparation of the materials which are to support and to build up the marvellous structure of man's body has been left almost to the light of nature. To make a good cook requires an education as careful as that necessary to mak e e ith er a good tailor or a good builder. This we found to our cost in the Crimea. Our fine stalwart Guards were sent down into the trenches to dig in the . midst of cold an d damp. They wore away their muscles by th e i r work ; they spent the heat of their bodies in resisting the cold and damp from without. Cold and hungry they returned home, to show that every man was his own cook. They required meat and bread to supply the bone and muscle they had worn away. They required fat and fatty matter to keep their hearts in motion and support the inner fire by which their life was kept within them. But they wanted not only the material with which to cook their food, but the art to cook it when the fuel was found. They were not cooks by nature, and they had never been taught. They had plenty of food, but not being able to cook it, their camp was strewed with portions of uncooked salt meat and partially roasted coffee. The grenadier went back again, hungry and exhausted, to his work. He had stored up no internal fuel either to resist the cold without, or keep up the vital action within. The material being poorly supplied, work could only be done at the expense of fibres already diminished. Bad cooking, therefore, led to disease, and disease to death. The Russian, in self-defence, was doing all that villanous gunpowder, with showers of iron and lead, could accomplish, to annihilate these bold invaders. Yet all that he could do was not a tithe part so effectual as the Englishman's ignorance of cookery. What has been described as the position of the Guardsman, applied almost equally to every part of the British army. The man who strives remedy so flagrant an evil is no small benefactor to the army ; and not to the army alone, but to the nation at large, settting aside all questions as to humanity and the worth of human life. In a mere economical point of view a soldier is a very costly machine. His education is costly, and time as well as money must be exhausted before his loss can be supplied. If a small fraction of the money spent in endeavouring to secure improvements in the destructive imple ments of war was bestowed upon the sanitary con dition of barracks and camps, and proper methods of cooking, half the number of soldiers lost in every campaign might be saved. Captain Grant's cooking apparatus strives to effect economy of fuel, with variety in the modes of cooking. This variety, by means, of which roast and boiled, baked and stewed, can be prepared at the same time, is of considerable importance. The defective health and the increased ratio of mortality of the soldier, even when at home and free from ac tive service, as compared with his fellow-citizens, neither so well clothed nor so abundantly fed, has been imputed, among other causes, to his constant invariable diet of boiled and stewed meat. The same quantity of fuel, and even a lesS, than is now required in an ordinary kitchen to boil a few sauce pang or kettles of meat, is made, by a skilful. arrangement of Captain Grant's cooking apparatus, to boil, stew, fry, roast, or bake. The fuel is placed in a furnace, from which a flue runs a short dis- Lance horizontally. This flue is then carried upwards around an oven before entering what may be called the chimney. The whole upper surfacq of the horizontal flue is covered with iron plates, so that boilers of galvanised iron can be arranged side by side. In these boilers meat can be stewed or boiled; puddings, such as, for instance, a meat pudding for each man, can be boiled, while the steam arising from the lower part of the boilers is economised so as to stew the potatoes in an upper compartment. The heat passing alonc , the hori zontal flue which has been boiling and stewing, instead of being allowed to dissipate itself in the chimney, is found sufficiently powerful to give the requisite heat to a wrought iron oven, placed vertically under the chimney, so as to abstract all the heat of the flue in its passage upwards by proper ventilation. This oven bakes the meat placed in it without flavouring it, the meat so baked being undistinguishable from that roasted in the ordinary manner. A hot plate being removed from above the horizontal flue, a gridiron or fryingpan may be substituted for one of the boilers. We have seen a couple of men cooking for about a thousand soldiers, stews, boiled meat, potatoes, puddings, and baked meats, all at one time, in in one of Captain Grant's apparatuses. The kitchen was a model of neatness and cleanliness ; it was neither uncomfortably hot, nor yet were you blinded by smoke and steam, as you would liavo been in an ordinary soldiers' kitchen. Here, then, we have improved means of cookery • and like most real improvements, it is accompanied economy in first cost and also for maintenance. The ordinary boiling apparatus now in use in the soldiers' kitchens, which admits of no variety in cooking, consumes one and one-third pound of fuel per day for the three meals cooked for each man. When Captain Grant's apparatus is used for 1,000 men it only consumes 5001bs. of fuel to do the same work. In the most unfavourable circumstances, when the apparatus constructed for 1,000 men is used only to cook for 50 men, it requires only 401bs. of firing. Thus, under the most favourable condi tions for the large apparatus, there was a saving of five-sixths of a pound of fuel, and under the least, a saving of one-third of a pound of fuel, for each, man. From the estimates it appears that in th e construction of one of Captain Grant's improved, apparatuses for 500 men there would be a sa v i ng 20 10s, for its cost and erection as compared with. the old system ; it would last much longer, and only require half as much to keep it in repair. And whereas the old apparatus could only be properly repaired :in: eight or ten d ays , w h en a genera repair was necessary, Captain Grant's can be thoroughly renovated in one night, without throw ing the apparatus out of work. In addition to all these advantages, the new ap paratus has fewer fires to be attended to ; it affords greater facility for cleaning the cook-house and boilers ; the temperatur of the kitchen is lower ; there is more clear space, and consequently more room, for the distribution of the meals. So much for home cookery for the soldier. For camp pur poses, Captain Grant has made such a modification of his apparatus as not only to make it portable, but also to utilise it for purposes of strategy. lie con verts it, in fact, into a very serviceable pontoon. Seeing what can be done to improve the apparatus for cooloN, the Military Committee appointed to report on its merits have turned their attention to the cooks. They Suggest that all recruits should be regularly instructed in barrack cooking in some or ganised manner ; and that no recruit be allowed to cook for a room until he shall have passed the ne cessary training. The committee tell us just what one would suppose, that as men are not born cooks, the soldiers' meals are not unfrequently spoiled, because the recruit is left to mother wit and the light of nature to acquire the art of cookery. In the Crimea our Jack Tars suffered less than, the so ldier, though similarly worked an d expose d , because every man-of-war's - man is by education cook and tailor to the full extent of his wants. Give him food, and he knows how to render it both palateable and digestible ; supply him with the materials for doffing, and he is sufficiently skilled to adapt them to his comfort and protection. Proper apparatus for cooking, and the skill to use it aright, is a subject of vital importance for the well-being of the army. by a little attention bestowed upon these, the comfort and efficiency of the British soldi er might be more than doubled. — Daily News.
