COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. !

MARIE-LANIL-(THI8 DAY.)

The quantity of English wheat received treat; op to our
market this morning was very moderate ; but the general
condition of the samples was good. Both red and white
qualities commanded a steady sale at an advance in the quo-
tations, compared with Monday last, of Is. per quarter,
and at which a good cle►rance was effected. With
foreign wheat we were but moderately aupplied. Good
and fine qualities changed heads to a fair extent, at in some
few instances Is. per quarter above last week's currency. In
other kinds the transactions were on a limited scale at pre.
vious rake. _ _ _

The show of both Eo3lish and foreign barley was mode-
rately extensive. Malting parcels sold steadily, at fall
quotations; otherwise, the trade was dull, on tanner
terms. _ _ _

There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for malt,
the supply of which was good, at fall quotations.
Oats, the supply of which was limited, ruled steady, and
previous rates were freely supported.
The show of beans was a full average, nevertheless the
inquiry for them was steady, on former terms.
The transactions in peas were somewhat restricted, at
about last week's prices.
Both English and foreign flour was in improved request,
and the quotations were well supported.
The arrivals of floating cargoes off meat have amounted
to 31, viz., 24 wheat, 3 maize, 14 barley, 3 rye, 1 valonia, 5
linseed, and 1 rapeseed. Wheat has commanded more
attestiou, sad in some instances prices have advanced 6d.

Increased apprehensions are expressed with regard
to the result of the Schleswig-Holstein dispute,
while, at the same time, the hopeful view recently
entertained with respect to the future course of
the money market has been somewhat modified
by the renewal of the drain of gold from the Bank
of France and by the diversion to the Continent of
the bulk of the bullion imported into this country.
The Bank of England have notified that Consul
Stock Certificates to bearer, with 10 half-yearly
coupons attached thereto, will be ready fur de-
livery to persons who way desire them in exchange
for Consul stock, ou and after the 6:h inst.

The British and Foreign Contract Company
(Limited) is announced, with a proposed capital
of no less than 3,000,000!., in 30,000 shares
of 10001. each. The first issue, however, is to
be 1,000,900/. The object of this undertaking
is stated to be " the undertaking or guarauteeing
the execution on fixed conditions of enterprises of a
sound and well ascertained commercial value."
The prospectus further explaius as follows :
"This company is formed as a necessary and use-
ful auxiliary to the various financi d and credit
corporations, for the purpose of contracting fur,
and aiding in, the coustruttion of railways and
other public works at home and abroad. The com-
pany will afford to the public the opportunity of
participating in the large profits derivable from
carrying out public undertakings in this country,
which have hitherto been mouopolised by private
contractors. With regard to foreign undertakings
the company will not only share toe profits of con-
tractors, but derive additional advantages from
au interest in valuable concessions, and the
premiums on such shares as way be taken
iu part payment for works." It is pro-
mised that •at all times the advice and
assistance of the most eminent and experienced en-
gineers of the day" will be sought by the directors,
who meanwhile are in negotiation with a gentleman
" who was for many years the practical manager of
one of the most eminent contractors of the day,
and under whom he superintended the execution
and the financial arrangements of extensive rail-
way and other works in this country and abroad."
The prospectus of the Beverley Iron and Waggon
Company (Limited) is being privately circulated.
This company is formed under very respectable
local auspices, with especial connexions in York-
shire and Manchester, for the purpose of carrying
on business as iroufounders and agricultural im-

With this view it is intended to purchase
from the proprietors of the Beverley (York-
shire) Iron Works their extensive freehold
premises, with the steam engines, machinery,
plant, and stock, which have been lately
valued at upwards of 70,0001., and are to be trans-
ferred to the company fur 00,0001. The business

upwards of thirty years, and is now in full opera-
tion. The capital is fixed at 120,0001., in 6,000
shares of 201. ea h, but it is proposed to call up
only half of the subscribed capital at present. An
arrangement has been entered into with the present
proprietors, by which one-half of the purchase
money may, if desired, remain ou security of the
