Money in the stock exchange was in increased de-
mand, at 3 to 4 per cent. on government stocks.
The bar silver brought in by the Solent from the
West Indies was sold to-day at as. 11,(1. per ounce
standard, being a decline of no less than 3d. per
ounce from the price realised at the previous sale.
This silver was taken partly for the Continent and
partly for India. The decline is owing to the slack-
ening of the Asiatic demand.
Letters received to-day from Odessa state that the
Russian vessels in that port were unloading their
cargoes, in consequence of the intimation from the
Turkish government that all Russian vessels will be
considered lawful prizes after the 20th Nov. The
Russiiins have announced their intention of seizing
Turkish vessels after the 22nd.
At MArk-lane to-day the supplies of home grown
corn were small, and the foreign arrivals moderate.
Few buyers attended, and the trade was quiet at
nominally the rates of Monday. Several floating
cargoes, have arrived off the coast, but no business
was reported to-day, except the sale of a small cargo
of Marianople wheat from Leghorn at 695., including
freight and insurance. Of the country markets held
yesterday the follus'ing showed a decline, viz., at
Liverpool, for wheat, ld. to 2d. per 701 b.; at Ipswich,
Is. per qr.; at Newcastle, Is. to 2s. per qr. At Hull
and Dublin the market was dull, and prices unaltered.
The advices received to-day from most of the French
markets report a further decline in the prices of
corn.

Land shares to-day were lower, especially Austra-
lian Agricultural. Bank shares were steady. Crys-
tal Palace shares continue to be freely dealt in, but
were a shade lower, although the settlement shows a
scarcity of this stock, the dealers being for the most
part borrowers of the shares at a " backwardation."
London Dock stock has been dealt in at 112 ; Aus-
tralian Royal Mail Steam (St. paid), 34 ; Berlin
Waterworks (21. 10s. paid), 14 ; Oeneral Steam Navi-
gation, 27.
With reference to the Chartered Bank of Asia, a
correspondent writes to combat the wish expressed
by some of the shareholders that the concern ohou:d
be wound up, and the assets disided. lie observes.:
In common with very many others I took an intern" in
this bank, because I know, as every one else does who is
converman.. with Indian interest., that there exists a m"t
profitable field for the employment of its capital. As regards
the terms of the charter granted, I am assured on good
authority that it is at least as favourable as that of the
Oriental Bank, the shares of which are now at or about 11w1
per cent. premium. If the shareholders will ocly reflect
upon the rates of exchange in the east, as they have
for sonic time paq, and as they are now, they w::: eA, I
