There are fewer transactions in stocks and shares
to-day, owing partly to the commencement of the
fortnightly settlement, but the tendency of
prices is still firm. The funds and English

of Saturday, and some foreign bonds exhibit a
fresh advance. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway

Helloed a farther rise of per cent. Financial
shares axe strong, and London Financial have im-
proved ss.

MARK-LANE.:-(THIS DAY.)
Only a moderate supply of English wheat was on sale
here to-day, eseatwise and by lead carriage. The condition
of the samples being very middling the few fine parcels on
offer were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwhee the
trade was in a sluggish state, at irregular quotations, and •
total clearance was not effected.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. Nearly all kinds were in moderate
request at last week's prices. The supply of Eoglieh barley
was very moderate ; o4foreign, tolerably good. Nearly all

Malt, the "apply of which was good, changed hands
slowly, but at full currencies.
There was a fair sale far both English and foreign oats on
former terms.
The amount of business doing in beans was only mode-
, rate. The quotations, however, were well supported.
Peas moved off slowly ; nevertheless, prices =LA steady.
Most kinds of flour moved off slowly, at last week's quo-
tatioes.
The arrivals of floating cargoes off coast have been oa
a fair average scale. The transactions in wheat have boss

proof is here afforded of the incorrectness of the
statements lately made to the effect that the United
States are sending us little or nothing in return for
the large amount of goods which they are receiving
front ua.
The expansion of the export business to the
United States from France is shown by the report
