No. 53.] LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 31, 1846. [3d.

The Pature in these returns, on which attention will'
naturally be most fixed, is the continued outflow of bullion.
The Bank bad entered considerably into the second million
of lost treasure in hard money, at the date of these returns. The
continuous direction of the stream outwards, for several suc-
cessive weeks is, however, the fact which will excite most
surprise, fur uneasiness is out of the question, seeing that
the Bank remained so well provided still. In the meantime,
as public and other deposits were withdrawn, and coin and
bullion departing, the Bank was diminishing its stock of
securities, and not only curbing the tendency of note circu-
lalion to expansion, but diminishing its amount.
Tiro o' . After the regular hour of business
yesterday a reaction commenced in the Funds, and the prices
of Consols rose 1 per cent. upon the quotations of the official
list, which represents business done only, and the last prices
current at three o'clock, when +he Stock Exchange legally
closes, as it may be said. This morning the improvement
has not on'y been maintained, hut carried further, with an
active market. Consols are now 941 to t. for money, and
941 to I, for time. Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 124 premium.
With the exception of a small advance in Spanish bonds,
upon the better reading of Spanish and Portuguese affairs
this morning, the foreign market has been, and remains,
without movement. Spanish Fives, 26 to 1 ; the Threes, 361
to 71. Portuguese, 381 to 94. Mexican, 211 to 21.

not, however, been accepted for Wheat and Flour, and
all spring Grain, from scarcity of supply, has fully supported
late prices : speculative inquiries also have materially sub-
sided, sales only of a few parcels of Flour, in bond, having
been reported at nearly previous rates. At this day's mar-
ket the millers, who are now tolerably well in stock, appeared
almost unanimously determined to remain on the reserve ; the
Wheat trade altogether was consequently languid in the ex-
tr eme,and had tales be m feasible beyond a very hmited amount,
many holden would hav4 accepted easier terms. Irish Flour.
upon a short supply, was unaltered in value ; but States and
Canadian, being more difficult of sale than usual, all descrip-
tions of this article, both free and in bond, receded Is. per
barrel below our last quotations. Malting Barley and Malt
would readily bring nine`i higher rates, but having little or
none of prime quality remaining here, DO certain prices for
the moment can be formed. Grinding Barley, Beans, and
Peas, attended by occasional sales, fully sustained our last
currency. Oats and Oatmeal, meeting very little notice this
morning, were the turn cheaper. Indian Corn would be
taken freely for Ireland, there being several orders thence,
which in the absence of supply cannot be executed for the
present, although if practicable somewhat higher prices
might be obtained.

NEWARK, OCT. 28.—Wheat, white, 61s. to 679. ;
red, 635. to Ms. ; old white, 625. to 665. ; old red, 50s. to 555.;
Barley, malting, 455. to 51s. ; grinding; 365. to 375. ; Oats,
old, 28s. to 345.; new, 255. to 28s. ; Beans, 48s. to 525.;
Peas, grey, 42e. to 465. ; Malt, 645. to 683. ; Tares 465. to
50s ; Rye, 328. to 368. per quarter. We have had a brisk
market at late prices for Wheat. Other grain Is. to 2s. per
quarter higher.

RIPON, OCT. 29.—White Wheat, 7s. to 99.; Red,
ditto), 6s. to Bs. 3d. ; Bean., os. 3d. to 6s. 6d. per bushtl.
Barley, 363. to 425. Oats, 203. to 295. per quarter. We had
a good supply at tais day's market, and Wheat and Oats well
bought up. In Barley not many transactions. Bean'
steady in price.
ROVITON, OCT. 28.—A liberal supply of Wheat
and Barley. The former sold at last week's price, the latter
2s. dearer, but maltsters hough' eautiouQlr. Wheat, 33e. to
425. per load; Barley, 425. to 525. ; Oats, 225. to 30.=.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 30.—The supply of 'Wheat
much larger, and sales brisk. Best English Wheat for seed
was 2s. per quarter dearer; good dry grinding ditto was
also full Is. per quarter higher. Inferior samples about the
same as last week. Foreign did not meet with so ready a
sole as the English grown, though prices were no lower.
Barley, of price quality, but few samples in the market:
price was full 2s. above last week's. Malt, selling as high
as from 465. up to 50s. per quarter ; good weighty
grinding at from 40s. to 41s. per quarter; light samples at
from 365. to 40s. per quarter. Oats were much in request
at an advance of Is. per quarter, excepting inferior, which
may be quoted at a stand still. Beans and grey and white
leas as last week. Tnres 6s. per bushel. 'lndian Corn
offered at a reduction of .11. per sack. Flour is selling here
at from 4.55. to 475. per sack.

UXBRIDGE, OCT . 29.—Wheat, 141. to 201. per load
of five quarters ; Beans, 36a. to 481. per quarter ; Peas, 375.
to 415.; Barley, 28s. to 36s Oats, 21s. to 329.; Rye, 325. to
3.38.; Tares, s. per bushel. Flour, white, 60a. per sack ;
household, 555. ; seconds, 50s. The Wheat market was but
a thin one to-day, and the qm.lity being rough it did not
make quite so much money as last Thursday. Every other
kind of grain remains as last quoted, except Barley, which
for malting purposes was mostly dearer, and not prime
either.

WAKEFIELD, Orr. 30.—Our arrival of Wheat this
eek is moderate, the trade continues very firm at the prices
of this day sennight, but the business passing is not eaten-
hive. Barley is ls. to 2.. per quarter dearer. but the advance
causes quite a retail trade. Oats and Shelling bring our ex-
treme quotations. Beans are the turn higher. No altera-
tion in other articles.
