rassments. The amount of the liabilities is believed
to be limited.

With reference to the freight nuirket, Messrs.
Sharer, Lomb, and Co. report as follows :

We have again to record steadiness in Baltic and Ameri-
can freights. From the former, especially, balances has
been active since our last, and the improvement then noted
fully sustained. With the exception of Cronstadt, whence
Use trade is late in opening, all the ports show an unusually
largeexport of grain to England and the Continent this
spnng. The White Sea trade has been briskest for wood,
and the inquiry for grain and first-class cargoes is at present
limited. Ti, the Mediterranean a rime has taken place, but
recent advice-. rep.rt that large supplies of tonnage have
reached come of the chief shipping ports, and the return
trade is quiet. Handy vessels, however, continue about the
same value, our corn market being firm. The natural sequel
to the continued favourable accounts from India have been
a still further reduction of the outward rates. To the
BraziL. and Plate they remain high ; and to the WestCoset
are slacker. Late heavy arrivals have contributed to de-
press the quotations fur -berth ships hence to Australia, Ac.
The pi eition of the market for American securities
in noticed as follows by Messrs. D. Bell, Son,
and Co. :
There is no new feature in the market for American Peen.

mind for State stock, more particularly for the United

States Five tier Cent. onds, and although but a moderate
amount of actual business has been transacted, prices have
generally improved.
