upon a new fiscal system in the midst of an extraordinnxi
visitation of famine crops and higher.priced provisions, it
should rather ire matter of surprise as well as encourage-
ment, that there should be any increase of income at all.
Under the impression so prevailing, however, sellers
came forward, and Consols declined to 931 to 1. Boater
reflection however, or rather a closer examination of the
various heads under which the revenue returns are distri-
buted, led to a more correct appreciation of results, and to
an improvement of prices. Consols became buyers at 935,
at which rate they are now supported. A marked
improvement may be noted in Exchequer Bills, which
Istand now at lls. to 14s. premium. This advance
may be attributed to the notice in the GooMe, that one-
fourth part of the surplus revenue accruing to October last,
in amount 44.5,4141. is to be applied during the present
quarter ending the Sth of April next to the purchase of
Stock or Exchequer (supply) bills. The calculation
is, that a considerable proportion of the am unt may
be so applied to Exchequer bills. A story has been
current, to account for the rise, that it was the iutention
of the 'Treasury to advance the rate of interest on Exchequer
Bills, but is the present easy state of the money market,
with the payment of dividends at hand when Exchequer
Bills conic more into request, such a rumour would hardly
seem entitled to attention.

The forrian market is heavy, with the prices of the mare
speculative stocks in decline. The speech of the Queen of
Spain, on opening the Cortes, is far from giving satisfaction
to the unfortunate creditors of Spain. The cool
and vague manner in which her Majesty is made
to allude to the " measures " which "at a fitting
time may be proposed for "an arrangement of the
public debt," contrast unfavourably with those more
sanguine aMillifflerll, which every mail of late hu brought
&MI tlfe Ifi+tourears- agstey liTYaarid -01-122 e deter-
mination of the finance minister, Senor Mon, to pro-
pose some settlement ac satisfactory so possible under
the circumstances, without delay. Spanish Fives, under
this feeling of disappointment, declined to 267 to 7 • the
Threes nmain 3117 to 7. The Portuguese, also, have fallen
to 37 to 8. Mexican a fraction worse, at 247 to S.

The market remains good, without the same activity

rate. Birmingham and Oxford have again reached 101.
Culedonians were a shade better. Leicester and Bedford.
firm at a blight advance. Old Stocks arc steady. French
lines heavy.

PRODUCE.
MINCING-LANE, Half-past Two.— The public Males
of Sugar consisted of 1,300 boxes Hevannah, 1,600 bags Ma-
nilla, ml 1,000 baskets Java ; they all found buyers at Is
to 2a. above the currency at the close of the market precious
to the holidays; and there appears generally a very strong
opinion in favour of the article. Refined very firm. Stand-
ard quality, 645. 6d. to 655.
Co/rec.-600 bags plantation Ceylon sold freely in public
sale at 3s. to 4a. above the rates that ruled at the close of the
year. Good ordinary Ceylon steady at 40s. to 41s. Very
fine choice quality Mocha sold at 85s. in public sale.
Rice remains steady.
Pepper.—This article, at length, appears to have attracted
the attention of speculators, and the extreme low price
induced a purchase of 13,000 bags of Malabar in cone
contract, at 21 i. per lb., which has influenced the market
and a public sale, subsequently, of 1,700 bags went off with
spirit at 2;d. to 3d. per lb.
Rsan.—The advance quoted yesterday of 3d. per gallon
has been fully supported, and a full business done in all
descriptions. Leeward Island, proof, 2s. 9d. ; Eut India,
28. 6d.
Cotton.—There has been a good demand to-day at full
prices.
Tea has become dull, and low common Congou is quoted
at 81d lb.
In other articles no alteration.
