COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS•

NA faL-LANE.--(THD3 DAY.)
Fresh up this morning the arrivals of homegrown wheat
were very moderate compared with Monday last, and the
prism' quality of the supply was by no means first rate.
The attendance of millers was limited, and the demand for
both red and white samples was in a sluggish state. In
prices, however, no change took place.
With foreign wheat we were tolerably well bat not to say
heavily supplied. All descriptions met • dull inquiry ;
nevertheless. last week's currency was fairly supported.
There was a good consumptive inquiry for fine barley, at
full priors ; but grinding and distilling sorts moved off hea-
vily, at late rates. The supply was tolerably extensive.
Good and fine malt was in moderate request at full quo-
tations. In all other kinds very little was doing at late rates.
We were well supplied with oats, in which • steady busi-
ness was passing on former terms.
Beano, though in short supply, were a dull inquiry, at
barely previous quotations.
In peas very little business was transacted. Prices, how-
ever, were supported.
Both English and foreign flour met a slow inquiry, at late
raise.

The arrival of floating cargoes off coast have amounted
to 6, chiefly barley and maize. Fine wheats have
commanded very full prices, with a steady in-
quiry. Inferior kinds have ruled heavy. For forced
shipment. there has been rather more demand. Ghirka has
sold at 375. to 38s. Berdianshi, 375. 6d. r• Marianopoli,
375. 6d. ; Polish, 375. 3d. ; and Milwannen, 1/1. 3d.
Ghirks for December shipment has realised 375.
to 375. 9d. The male for main has been heavy,
at 25e. 100. to 265. ld. for Odeon; 245. to 25e. 3d. fur
Dina ; 251. 9d. for Bulgarian ; and 245. 3d. to 25e. for
Wallachia& The barley trade has been depressed. Odessa,
20s. 3d. to 22a 6d per qr. Rye is nominal, at 21s. to 23e. per
42011 w. for Danubian. Milletieed is offering at P2s. to
22.6 d.; and Syrian Dui, 2:4. to 265. per 460 lbs. There
has been rather an active inquiry for linseed, and the
quotations have improved ls. par qr. About 1.200 tons
Calcutta, have sold at from 59a. 6d. to 61s. 6d., per 4101 be.:
Galata may be quoted at 60s. to 61a. ; Azoff, Ws. 9d. to
60& 6d. ; Black Sea, 59a., per quarter. The quantity of
' East India Linseed now oreaumedly on passage to the
United Kingdom, compered with the ootrospoodsag period
of last yew, is as follows : - . _

The demand for cottonseed is by no means active. New
seed for shipping is held at 7/. 2a. 6d. ; but sales have been
effected at 54 13s. to 64 per too. At &meeting of the com-
mittee of the Liaised Aseociation it was moved that the
maximum charge for analysing Parcels or cargoes of ho-
seed shall be reduced to 34 iis., in lieu of 6/. tie., the usual
charge.
Agricultural seeds are a slow sale, at about stationary
prices.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.

Two oViocs.

The stock markets to-day are generally rather !
better, a reduction in the Bank rate of disj
count to 7 per cent, being looked foe
on Thursday next. The funds have risen
per cent. Mexican and a few other speculative
foreign stocks, as well as financial shares, have im-
proved. A number of the principal home railways
present an average rise of per cent.
The belief being general that the Bank rate of
discount will be reduced next Thursday, bills are
being held back and the demand for money to-day is
consequently very moderate, although the best
description of paper would be taken freely at 7
per cent. The charge for short loans in the Stock
[ Exchange is 4 to 41 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Itentes were quoted
64fr. 97c., being about 1-16 per cent, lower than on
Saturday.
Consols are now quoted 911 to 4, with div., for
money, and 90 to 4, ex div., for the account
(Dec. 8). The official business report is as fol-
lows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 91,
; ditto, for account, 891, 90/ ; New
Three per Cents., 881, 894 ; Annuities, 1885, 144 ;
Bank Stock, 239 ; India Stook, 218; ditto Five
per Cent. Stock, 1061, I ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1866, 98 ; Four per Cent. " enfaced '
rupee paper, 89 ; ditto Five per Cent., 1004.
Foreign stocks are firm. Mexican Bonds have
risen per cent. Spanish Certificates, how-
ever, have declined 4, and Turkish Conso-
lid4is nearly 7 per cent, after allowing for
the deduction of 21. 14s. for dividend.
Some of the present quotations aro as follows,
viz. :-Greek, 231 to / ; Mexican, 291 to
; Confederate, 61 to 63 ; Spanish Passive,
301 to 31 ; the Certificates, 134 to 1 ; Turkish
Bonds of 1858, 714 to 4; ditto 1862, 711
to 3 ; and the Cocsolidis, 474 to 484,
ex div. Transactions are recorded as follows
Brazilian, 1863, 824 ; Colombian Six per Cents.,
78, 71; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 624 ;
Egyptian, 90},1 ; Greek, for account, 23/, 3 ;
Italian, for account, 644 ; ditto Maremmana
Railway, 71; Mexican, for account, 29r, 4, A ;
ditto, 1864, Zi k ; Portuguese, 1853, for account,
47/ ; ditto 1856, 6:c., 474, 3 ; Russian,
1862, 87, ex div. ; ditto 1864, 88 ; Spanish,

ditto, 1862, for account, 71/, 3 ; ditto, 1001. Bonds,
714, 3 ; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 484, ex div.
The scrip of the new Egyptian Loan is rather
flatter, at g to 4 prem.
International Financial shares are now quoted
21 to 34 prem. ; Loudon Financial, 9 to
pram. ; General Credit, 21 to prem. ;
Imperial and Mercantile Credit, 21 to 31 prem. ;
Hudson's Bay, 171 to 3 ; Ottoman Santini
Ginifrale, 24 to 3 prem. ; and Anglo-Egyptian
Bank} din. to 1 prem. _

Fora o'Cz.oca.
Consols are without change, at 91i to 4, with
div., for money, and 90 to ex div., for the ac-
count. No bullion operations are reported at the
Bank.

The following is from the wine circular for
Australia issued by Mr. F. W. Cosecs :

During the month that has elapsed since the departure
af the October mail, general dribiese bag been the main
characteristic of our trade in wines and spirits ; at the setae
time the totals cleared for home use and export remain
coosiderable. Is no article does so little chalice of specula-
tive advantage 'exist as in wine ; the trade is one purely of
good faith, and on'a rising market the dealer finds that, as a
rule, he can do hotter with the shipper than he as with
holders at sewed hand. Opulent speculators are therefore
deterred, knowing the competition they will have to meet.
It wine brokers and bankers would bear this fact in mind,
facilities would not exist for mono( small credit, and smaller
means, who, having no legitimate vent for tho commodities
upon which they obtain such liberal advances, usually pay
small and cesatisfactory dividends. Tba wine trade at
present, as it did in 1857. steads the measure well in com-
parison with other breeches of commerce, and although in
the moo*, market wine hills are not considered first class
paper, they are as a rule, even in difficult times, well sad
punctually met.
