Re Cant arket.
In the Liverpool Corn Market to-day we had
a good general demand for Wheat, and note an
average improvement of 3d per cental on the
prices of this day se'nnight, some low descriptions
obtaining even a greater advance. Flour made
6d per barrel and is per sack more money. Beans
were fully as dear. Oats and Oatmeal were the
turn higher, but with a moderate sale only.
Indian Corn was in good request for consumption,
at an advance of 6d per qr. on Mediterranean and
mixed American ; white Corn was in, more plen-
tiful supply, and is to is 6d per qr. cheaper.—The
less active demand we experienced at our market
of Friday last has been succeeded by a renewal of
business to a fair extent for the consumptive
requirements of many and distant parts of the
country, aided by some transactions in Wheat and
Flour for holding over ; large quantities have been
taken by millers and dealers during the last ten
having
rinfgor sale,

uqbeen
the stock on offer for several days has proved of
comparatively limited importance; the tenden3y,
of prices has therefore been again favourable to
sellers, and a moderate, though steady, improve-
ment has been realised on each of these articles.
The state of foreign markets is, at the same time,
against us ; France has made a further upward
movement withinlithe past few days, and it is
feared that the operation of her sliding scale may
ere long oppose a barrier to exportation from those
districts whereon our chief reliance is placed ;
the state of matters in America is scarcely im-
proved in a pecuniary point of view, and, owing
to the close of the canals, we must now look for
a considerable diminution
of supply from that
quarter. Our English markets still tend upwards,
even for new 'Wheats, and all foreign
imports are
quickly absorbed ; the more intimate experience
obtained of our own crop only the more distinctly
proves its great deficiency, not only in quantity

The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The funds opened at hri httvanee of M per cent., but a
relapse took place, and the closing quotations were only
k per tent. above those of Saturday. In most of the
other departments of the Stock Exchange the tendency
of prices was upwards. The discount market continues
unusually easy for this time of the year ; the best bills
were taken 1 to a per cent. below the Bank minimum.
At the Bank of England the amount of business was
moderate.—Daily News City Article.
The news of peace with China caused the consol mar-
ket to open with remarkable buoyancy, the first trans-
actions being at, an advance of it, per cent, on the firm
quotations of Saturday. In the afternoon this anima-
tion diminished, and a reaction of per cent. ultimately
took place. some persons in Letidon were disposed to
distrust the China news, but they were a small minority,
the source whence it was transmitted to the Foreign
Office being unquestionable. The news from France of
the abolition of the passport system as regards British
subjects also tended to increase the favourable feeling
with which the ,market opened. In the general dis-
count market the demagd has again been rather active,
but at the Bank the aglications were moderate. There
were no bullion operations at the Bank.—Times City
Article.
In the Times report of yesterday's railway market it
is stated the South-Eastern has improved nearly 1-1 per
cent., on the expectation that the abolition of passports
for English subjects in France will give a great stimulus
to continental travelling. Sheffield advanced more than
3 per cent., North British 1, and York and North
Midland t- ; other stocks about 4 to ?7, per cent. higher,
Great-Western being the firmest amongst the heavier
descriptions, Great Northern rather flat. The closing
prices were not equal to those at one period of the day.
A renewed inquiry for Grand Trunk of Canada. Amp-
rican shares flat.
The directors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland have
declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 4 per cent.,
and also an extraordinary dividend of £1 10s. per £lOO
share, and 12s. per £lO share.
The suspension has been announced of Mr. F. li.
Schroder, of St. George's-in-the-East, sugar refiner, for
about £20,000.
