MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

There was but a small show of English Wheat at market
this morning, and it was held firmly for Monday's rates.
For Foreign Wheat there was a retail sale, at former
prices.
Flour was generally held for very full prices.
Barley, Beans, and Peas were in fair request, and their
value was fully maintained.
The arrival of Oats since Monday have been very short,
and needy buyers had to pay rather more money.

The members of the Stock Exchange, with their
usual liberality, have promptly responded to the
appeal made on behalf of the sufferers by the loss of
the Amazon. Attached to the subscription list,
which has for some days been in progress in tho
house, ate the names of nearly all the leading mem-
bers, and we understand the amount at present
raised: is between 300/. and 400/., with the prospect
of a large increase. The feeling of sympathy for
the unfortunate sufferers is general throughout the
City, and it is hoped the contributions from the com-
mercial community will eventually reach a consider-
able sum.

A considerable amount of business was transacted
yesterday in the market for foreign exchanges, which
was in a somewhat fluctuating condition. Paris was
considerably higher, the quotation for London hav-
ing risen on the other side. The demand was great,
and short paper was done at 23.321 to 37; ; ditto
three months, 23.50 to 54 Amsterdam did not
maintain the high rate of last post, and, buyers
coming forward, it left off at 11.19 to t. Hamburg
was at first offered at 13.10;, bat several purchases
depressed the quotations to 13.101 to ;. Bills on
Italy, generally speaking, were higher, but Naples,
being in good demand, was done in favour of
sellers. lhe same may be noticed of paper on
Spain, Portugal, and St. Petersburg ; but a contrary
tendency was manifested with respect to Austria,
Vienna being quoted 12.12 to IR, whilst Trieste was
very heavy at 12.16 to 22. The prices negotiated
were as follow:

The exchange at Paris on London is still rising.
Yesterday short paper was quoted Inf. 35c.
The silver market wears a flatter appearance, tho
supplies by the 'names being pressed forward for
realisation. None of this cargo, however, has been
disposed of, nor aro wo ablo as yet to report any
change in quotations. Judging from the tenor of the
overland telegraphic despatch published in the Daily
News of yesterday, the stringency of the Bombay
market would appear to have experienced some alle-
viation, a consideration which, it confirmed, will not
fail to exercise an influence on the price of silver
here, the late rise in this article having been mainly
Invaded by the Eastern demand.
