Land shares to-day were firm, and, being scarce,
would probably have improved in price on the
settling, but for the absence of active dealings. In
the afternoon, however, the tone was less buoyant.
Bank shares were firmer, and Australasian and Union
of Australia advanced 11. Crystal Palace shares
rose to 7, to 1 premium, and were lust quoted to
I premium, whilst the new shares closed at to 1;
premium. The shares of the Australian Royal Mail
Steam Navigation Cempany have been dealt in at
31 and 4 (tit. paid); Peninsular and Oriental Steam,
69 to 1; and Berlin Waterworks, 10s. din. The foun-
dation stone of this last-named company's works at
Berlin was luid on the 20th last. by the King of
Prussia in person.
lu Mark-lane to-day few buyers of corn came to
market, the day being eery fine and mild, the supply
of home-grown corn small, and the arrivals of foreign
since last Saturday moderate. Not much was sold,
but although in a few instances a trifling abatement
in price might have been acceded to, yet, on the
whole, holders were very firm in maintaining Mon-
day's rates. No sale was reported in floating car-
goes, of which few are offered, and these are held at
rates beyond the present ideas of buyers. At the
country markets held yesterday, a further rise is the
price of wheat is reported, amounting at Liverpool
to 6d. per 70 lb., and at Hull to 3s. to Ss. per qr.
Is the French markets there is a further advance in
wheat of 1 franc per hectolitre. The Antwerp mur-
ket is advised as quiet, but not lower.
