public works and pablic buildings, the promotion
of immigration, and the purchase of waste land
from the natives with a view to planting upon it a
European population. The native temtory in this
province comprises an area of no less than
15,121,541 acres.
The second report of the directors of the Van-
couver Coal Mining and Land Company, to be sub-
mitted at the half-yearly meeting on the 29th
instant, congratulates the shareholders on the pre-
sent position of the company. The accounts show
a total profit of 5,4701.. of which the directors ro-
pose to appropriate 2,600/. as an ad interim divi-
dend of 6 per cent. for eight months, and to reserve
the balanoe-2,8701.--forfuture distribution. The
chief profit has arisen from the coal trade, but the
report describes the result of the company's trans-
actions is satisfactory iu every branch. The direc-
tors having incurred liabilities to the extent of
12,0001. in the purchase of additional merchandise
for the store ano in the cost of a steamer, propose
to issue 5 per cent. debentures for that amount.
This course has been adopted in preference to making
any further calls, and the debentures will be offered
in the first instance to the shareholders.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&
_ MARK4ANE.:4NEM.DA

From most parts of the country very favourable encomia
have reached us this morning in reference to the progress of
harvest work. At least nine-tenths of the wheat have now
been secured in England in very fine condition. The yield
is proving a most abundant one. In Ireland and ficotkand
the crop are being carried rapidly.
The supply of English wheat on offer, to-day, was only
morientte ; but the quality of the samples was flue. AU
kinds met a heavy sale, at a further decline in the quota-
tions of 2s. per quarter, and at which a clearance was mot
effected. . . .

We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat
sod sales programed slowly, at fay la per qr. beneath last
Yonday's currency.
The show of barley was moderately good, especially of
Eoglish. Fine qualities were in fair request, at very full
prices ; hut grinding sad distilling sorts commanded ver►
little ►tteotios, at barely bite rater.
A fair amouut of bov neer war transacted in moat kinds of
malt, ►t full quotation..
The imports of foreign oats having been very large, the
oat trade was heavy, at 64. to le. per qr. less money.
Bemis were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, um
former terms.

111 peas very little was doing ; oevertheless, the quotations
were supported.
The flour trade was inactive, and in some instances the
onrreocies had a drooping tendency.
Only Bstrigoes of grate have arrived off coast ; nevertheless,
the demand has fawn- off, and the quotatioas have been with
difficulty supported. Ghirka Tagaareg hae realised':;.. to
