The tendency of the stock markets i.,,..iay was
Attlee of wet
weather, which is most seriously view' 4 at the pre-
sent critical period of the harvest. Ist fact, it is
observed at the present moment, as fr
that the prices of corn and Consol
.s move in an in-
verse ratio. The funds, howeve
gradually, and, notwithetandin• s eqnently before,
r. give way very

Monday, the 29th instant, will be "making up"
day in the share markets.
The downward tendency reported by us last post
day iu the market for foreign exchanges was in-
-1 mewed by to-day's operations. Quotations on most
of the continental cities ruled decidedly lower. Thus
bills on Hamburg were done as low as 13.51., re-
maining in demand at the close at 13.31 to 6. I'aper
on Paris was done at 24.92; at short, and was in
demand at 24.93, and at 25.12; to 15 for three
months. Amsterdam ruled at 11.17'. to 1; Frank-
fort at 1191, money ; Vienna at 10.51 to 03; Trieste
at 10.53 to 55 ; and St. Petersburg at 381 to Z.
I)rafts on Italian places were also in more request.
The day's decline appears to be mainly attributable
to the corn movement at home and abroad. The
accounts from the Baltic agree in referring to the
large purchases of grain in nearly all the northern
ports.
Hamburg letters of the 23rd lest. report a rise of
ls. to la. 6d. per quarter in wheat, owing to the de-
mand for France and Belgium. Since Friday 2,000
lasts had been sold at rates equal to 00s. for Rostock,
645. 6d. for Pomeranian, 03a. to 04s. for Danzig and
Holstein, and 495. to 50s. for Danish. Money was
light at 31 to 31 per cent. The exchanges were
dull, and the rate on London ruled 1 of a schilling
lower, bills remaining over at 13.11 to 1;. Funds
and shares were neglected. Gold was quoted 437{
per mark.
During the first two days of the week it would
appear that some considerable amounts of Australian
gold must have been sent into the Bank of England,
but for the last three days the remittances to the
Continent have been steady, and must amount in the
aggregate to a considerable sum. The downward
movement of the foreign exchanges is calculated to
stimulate the efflux of the precious metal.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Douro, which will leave Southampton to-morrow far
Smyrna and Constantinople, has on board 55,0001. in
specie, and the Iberia for Oporto and Lisbon, 3,085/.
The screw steamer Faith takes out 3,840/.
The arrival was to-day announced of two vessels
from Australia, viz., the Emigrant from Melbourne,
with 7,230 ounces of gold, and the Island name from
Geelong, with 16,131 ounces, making a total of
23,661 ounces, valued at 94,600/. The dates by the
former of these vessels are to the 21st April, and by
the latter to the 6th May, and are consequently old.
Money remains easy; but, if anything, the ten.'
dency to-day was in the direction of rather stiffer
rates. 'l'hero is an impression in some quarters that
the present less stringent position of the market will
not be long maintained, and parties are thus in-
duced to avail themselves the more freely of the
rates now current. Towards the beginning of next
month it is thought the demand for accommodation,
as usual, will show itself in a more marked manner.
A small amount of bar silver was sold to-day at
ss. 2d. per ounce standard, being an advance of 4d.
per ounce. This silver came from the Continent,
and is attracted by the high price now luting in the
London market. The demand is still chiefly for
India and China.
The upward movement of the corn market conti-
nues. English wheat was in very short supply at
to-day's market, and realised an advance of 2s. to 3s.
per quarter on the rates of last Monday. Foreign
wheat experienced a similar improvement, and flour
rate 2s. per barrel, the demand for the Continent
continuing.
The scrip or banker's receipts of the Boston, Slea-
ford, and Midland Counties Railway Company is to
be sent in for registration by the 6th Sept.
In land shares tc-day there was scarcely any va-
riation. Australian Agricultural closed a trifle
lower at 33 to 36. Bank shares were quiet and sta-
tionary in price. Those of the Bank of India, Aus-
tralia, and China were flatter. Southampton Dock
shares mark 35; to 36; cx die.; and Peninsular
and Oriental Steam, 77 to a. Berlin Waterworks
shares are quoted , die. to 1 prem. Crystal Palace
shares closed 11 to 11 prem.

and for the week ending Saturday, the 20th August,
