Owing to the abundance of tonnage freights
are lower, and it is difficult to place vessels at
the present quotations. Homewards the rates
are firm, but there is very little business doing.
For the West Indies there is an improving
demand for tonnage, and any sized ships must
be taken at 20s to 21s, for Jamaica or St.
Thomas, and 19s to 20s for Cape de Verds.
Tonnage to United States ports is abundant, and
freights are rather easier.
The following are the rates of freight for—

We are indebted to Messrs. Taylor, Tipper, and Co.,
for the following rates of freight to the United States :

of firmness. In the discount market some transactions'
took place to-day at 41, and there was scarcely any
demand at the Bank. The foreign exchanges this after-
noon exhibited a firmer tendency. About 180,000 iu
gold was bought by the Bank. The railway market has
been rather firmer towards-the close. Lancashire and
Yorkshire improved '2 per cent.; Midland and Great
Northern, -1 ; Great Western' and London and North-
Western, 1, ; and other descriptions 4. to Gold is
2-10ths per cent. dearer In Paris than in London. At
Hamburg and London the price is about the same. The
present rate of exchange leaves a small profit on the
importation of Gold from New York.—Tildes.
In the LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET
this has been a holiday, and no business of
importance is reported by private contract.
The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was
steady, at the following quotations : Town tallow
50s net cash; Petersburg Y.C., on the spot, 52s 6d;
May and June, Ms 6d; June only, Ms 6d; July
to Sept., 51s 3d; Oct. to Dec., 51s.
In the LONDON MINING MARKET to-day a fair
amount of business has been done, notwithstanding
the absence of most of the dealers. Stray Park
shares are in active demand, and have risen to
46 to 48. West Frances are quoted 25 to 27 ;
Lady Bertha, 21 to 21, being dull ; Treloweth,
91 to 10 ; East Basset, 115 to 120 ; South
Caradon, 305 to 310 ; and East Wheal Russell,
12 14. St. John del Rey Mining shares are in
good demand, and have been dealt in at 28 to 29.
Port Phillip .are marked 10s.
In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN SECU-
RITIES to-day, there was great activity, but more
decided firmness in values. Original Turkish
Bonds have advanced. to 75i) and the New Sixes
to 58 and 581, being a full rise of 1 per cent. in
each case. Mexican Three per Cents, base been
taken at 211 and 211 ; and Spanish at 48.
The LONDON CORN MARKET.—The weather

has been fine and warm to-day. There was a
small sitopcian,e, and very little business done in
any article of the trat,i,e : prices were nominally
unaltered,

The BOROVGII HOP MARKET.—To-day there
has been a moderate, but by no means active
inquiry for good and useful Hops, at full prices.
For most other kinds, however, the inquiry was
dull, at late rates. The plantation accounts were
favourable.

At tigt LONDON WOOL SALES to-day the
attendance of home and foreign buyers was
numerous, and biddings riled active. The late
advance in the value of fine qualities was main-
tained. Some rather large purchases were made

on foreign account.
