favourably regarded. Consols are qaoted 90/ for
money and 901 for the 12'h Oat. The New Three per

chequer Bonds, at 1001 to ; India Bonds at 295.
prem. ; and the June Exchequer Bills at 10s. to 14e.

The foreign stock market is quiet. Turkish secu-
rities are a trifle flatter, at 921 to 93/ for the Six
per Cents., and 11 to 11 prem. for the New Four
per Cent. Scrip. Mexican is quoted 211 to 22;

The corn market continues firm, and yesterday an
advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter over last Monday's
rates was in some cues realised. The supply of home-
grown corn at market continues small. The imports
of foreign into London this week, however, amount
to 12,720 qrs. of wheat ; 11,440 of barley, 47,910 of
oats, and 4,500 sacks of flour. A large business has
again been done in floating cargoes, and only two
cargoes of wheat remain on sale off the coast. Only
three cargoes of wheat and five of Indian corn are
reported arrived off the coast since last Friday week.
Rye continues in demand for the Continent.
Advices from St. Petersburg to the 30th ult.
quote the exchange of London at 38 3-113 to 6-18 d.
About 300 casks of tallow had been taken for

transmission westward. These advice report a
transaction between a dealer in Bt. Petersburg and
an eminent Russian capitalist, by which the latter
advances money on 7.000 casks of tallow bought by
the former some time since in the interior and now
arriving at St. Petersburg. It does nct appear
whether the dealer in question intends to consign
this tallow, or to hold it in St. Petersburg, but it is
said that his purchases are based upon a belief that
next season's supply of tallow will be a short one.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive ten-
ders on the 13th instant for the hire of two ships, to

berland, and Alice Jackson have been engaged by the

Com
Apa.
spenycial general meeting of the Electric Power
Light and Colour Company is called for the 14th

share, being quoted 150 to 155, with only 321. 10v.

in IA 15/ "ex all;" and Peninsular and Oriental
Steam at 691 to
The following weekly summery of the produce
msrket is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W.
J. and IL Thompson :
The colonial markets have been rather quiet during the
week until to-day, when more firmness was apparent. The
public sales of sugar went off without spirit, and there was
less disposition to purchase, but to-day the sales have gone
off well at full quotations. The f ble nsult of the
Dutch coffee sales, held on the 3al and 6th fastest, at
which the whole quantity offered was sold at the full valua-
tions for good ordinary, and at 2 to 3 cents. advance for
preferable qualities, has mused a better demand here, end
Native Ceylon has beets sold at 495. 6d., at which rate there
are still buyers; in Plantation sorts very little has been
dose. Black pepper has realised it told. per lb. advance.
Saltpetre has been rather dull of sale, and some trinteations
have occurred at rates in favour of the buyers. In rice a
good business has been done at previous quotations. A
large quantity of tea has changed hands at about former
rates.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The English stock market hassi;eni
increased
firmness to-day, and a further recovery of 3 per
cent. has been established. The appearance of the
corn market is not tavourable, and some adverse
features will probably be presented by the two next
returns of the Bank of England ; bet, nevertheless,
little disposition has been evinced to offer stock to-
day.
The discount market is quieter, but the rates are
not below the Bank of England minimum of 4 per
cent. It is believed that a very large amount of
business has been done at the Bank this week. 'floe
London and Westminster Bank and Commercial
Bank have raised the rate allowed for money on de-
posit to 3 per cent.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Bente§ closed
the same as yesterday, whilst the final quotation of
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. was reported by tele-
graph at 92 ex coupon. After making allowance for
the deduction of the dividend, this price exhibits a
decline from yesterday's range. At Vienna the
exchange on London has receded from 11.11 to 11.9,
but the premium on gold is rather higher, at 214 per
cent., and that on silver, at 171 per cent. At Frank-
fort
and Hamburg Spanish Bonds have experienced
an improvement.
Console for the 12th October owned and closed at
901 to 4, the intermediate variation consisting only
of a decline to 904 to 4. For money the closing
quotation was 904 to t. The official business import
is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money,
904,4, 4, # ; ditto, for account, 12th Oct.. 904, 904.
New Three per Cents., 924, 914, 924. Thirty years'
