LONDON SPIRIT Mauger.—There is a good business
doing in ruin, at alightly advanced rates. Brandy and
grain spirits are unaltered in value.
. .

TE.c..—Our market has become much km active. In
prices we have very little change to notice. Common
round oongou is selling at Is. 2.1. per lb.
St:GAIL—Good and fine raw sugars have changed
hands to a moderate extent, on former terms; but low
and damp parcels rule very inactive, at barely late
rates. Refined sugars move off slowly, at 525. fid. to
SCo. per cwt.
The English fund' opened on Wednesday morning
without alteration, and soon experienced an improve-
ment, which was in • great degree maintained until late
in the clay, when • sudden fall occurred. The first bar-
gain in Consols were '.lOl to a, and numerous small in-
vestments acre again made until the twice touched :10.1.
The tendency MY then towards reaction, and at the
official close the transactions were at fiffi to a. Subse-
quently wine sales w. re pressed eithout any GUM be-
ing aasi,meti, and the latest quotation was itti. No
news of any kind was received from the seat of
during buainesa hours.
An arrangement has been made by which the buaia
of the Westet II o.llk of Lyndon hiss been transferee.
the London and County Bank. The business willc .ii-
tinue to be conducted in the Western Bank premises, 10
Hanover Square.
. . .

An adv;iice of one per cent, in the rate of discount
was resolved upon by the Bank Court on Thursday, in
addition to that of like amount which took }dace last
Thursday. The charge, therefore, is now 4,', per cent.
R.tiLwer Reciirta.—The traffic returns of railways
in the United Kingdom published for thosweek ending
April 30 amounted to 1:454,880, and for the corres-
ponding week of 18.1$ to 1i:4.16,640, showing an increase
of I:18,240. The gross receipts of the eight railways
having their termini in the metropolis a iiiii mated to
1169,• 99, and for the correspon•lisig period of la,t year
to £1t13,U711, showing an increase of Liii,7*-41. The ir
crease on the Eastern Counties Railwey amounted to
; on the I :rest Wt.tp•nt to molt ;eii the Lon-
don and North-WeAern to 1."1,1•61 ; on the London an,!
Blackwell to L 75 ; on the 1,•iol••ti. Brighton, and
South Coast to £676; on the London and South-
Western to 1:619 anil on the Soutli•Eaetern t••
E 1,71113 ; total, 0,471 But from this Joust be deducted
T 2,752, the dervase on the Great Northern ; leaving
the increase as above, 16,i31.1. The receipts oil tho
other lines in the United Kingdom amounted to
L2ti5,001, and for the corresponding week of last year
to 4:253,561, showing an increase of t.:11,511; which,
added to the increase on the metropolitan lines, nukes
the total increase E1a,240, as compared with the corres-
ponding week of IKIS.
Considering the almost unprecedented extent of the
fall in nearly all classes of seeunties, surprise is ex pre.-
sed at the tuagnitu•le of the dividends already arranged
by most of the failed firms in thz Stock Exchange.
The effect of the embarrassments which were precipita-
ted by the Russian alarm is, however, still severely felt
in every department. Forced sales of becuritk% con-
tinue to be pressed for account of embarrassed houses,
and have the more influence at the time when such
large quantities have already been poured upon the mar-
ket. The absorption by the public goes on, hut appears
to be still exceeded by the sales. The rise in the rates
of discount also causes sales of English railway and other
stocks hitherto held on borrowed money.

MARIC•LA.NE CORN EXCHANGE.
FRIDAY, MAT 6.—lt having been officially stated that
no treaty has been entered into between France and
Russia, there was very little disposition shown to operate
in English wheat to-day. The show of samples was small,
and it was with some difficulty that Monday's advanced
rates were supported. The imports of foreign wheat are
16,140 quarters. Most descriptions were held at full
prices bu ; t the business transacted was very limited.
Boarmly any Boating cargoes were on offer. We had
• moderate inainily for barley, at previous rates, and
fine malt supported Monday's currency. Oats were much
Is.. active, and damp ponds were rather easier. Beans,
peas, and Boar moved of slowly.
