COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANK.-(THIS DAY.)

Coastwise and by land.carriage' the reoeipts of home-
grown wheat fresh up to our market today were only
moderate, but the greater part of the supply came to hand
in tolerably good condition. For both red and white
paraels the trade ruled firm, and Monday's advance in
prime was supported.
There was a moderate quantity of foreignwheat on offer,
the demand for which was steady, at full currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off freely, and prices
I ruled finn.

The 'how of barley, both English and foreign, was limited.
Fins malting parcels commanded extreme quotations. For
grinding :.um dist:thug sorts, the trade was steady, at late
rates.

Malt was disposed of at this full prices of Monday.
With (sits we were modeintely supplied. In all kinds
sale% progressed steadily, on former terms.
Beans found buyeri at the late improvement. The
supply Ralf trifling.
Peas were in fair reouest. at late rates.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69fr. 50c., beiag per cent. higher than
yesterday.
It is worthy of remark that since the 16th of
last month, when the fall in the Bank rate of dis-
count from 10 per cent. commenced, Consols have
risen only 1 per cent., although, under ordinary
circumstances, it might well have been imagined
that a reduction of 3 per cent. in the value of
money would have had a powerful effect upon
prices. The fact seems to be that there is still
little disposition on the part of the public to invest
in British government stocks, on account of the
small rate of interest they yield. A comparison of
the present price of Reduced, or New Three per
Cents.-stocks in which no speculation is carried
on-with that of Consols certainly indicates that
the market value of the latter is a good deal helped
by speculative influences. For example, the real
intrinsic difference in value between Reduced
Three per Cents. and Consols is at present
only per cent. in favour of the latter
stock-this 13s. representing the difference in divi-
de :.ccrued, yet yesterday's average quotations
are for Reduced and 69* for Consuls for money,
showing a difference of no leas than 2A. The
natural inference, even after allowing fur the
superior marketability and other attractions of
Consuls, is that the price of this stack is now sup-
ported rather by speculation than by investment.
The final instalment of 9 per cent., making 74
per cent. paid, fell due yesterday on the Brazilian
for :•,041/1.01101. sterling, introduced in Sep-
tember last by Messrs. Rothschild.
About 230.0001. in gold, chiefly from the East by
the steamer Poonah, was sent into the Bank yester-
day. 97,0001. consisted of bars, and the rest
of sovereigns.
The Maid of Judali, from Sydney, has brought
72,0001. in gold, and the City of Boston, from New
York, 27,500'.

steady, and as regards bills on Belgium and three
