COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.--(TILDI DAY.)
The wicd yesterday veered round to the south, and
during the afternoon and night a good deal of rain fell. To-
day the wind is still from the south, with a strong breeze
and otmasional showers.

Thia market ooatinues to be very scantily 'applied with
homegrown wbeat and dour ; barley, oats, beans, and peas
very contracted, but malt in fair supply. No flesh
arrivals of Scotch or Irish since Wednas&y. Ths foreign
supply sines last market day has been liberal of wheat,
the bulk being American ; a few cargoes Rumen.
and Mediterranean. A small addition to the Amyl=
-

and American. Barley, only one small parcel since Wed-
nesday. Oats, a few Danish, Swedish, and Dutch, in
addition.
The trade in wheat to-day continues slow, buyers ope-
rating only safer as immediate wants ; quotations nominally
the same as on Monday.
Barley dull trade, and prices rather looking downward"
Flour—Trade was not active : American about the same
as on Monday ; Norfolk, 355. nominally ; French and
Spanish, 45e. to 475.
Malt trade steady: best samples of Ware quoted at 74.. to
755., and lower deacriptioos down to 605., according to
quality. Beans and peas the turn cheaper. Linseed and
rapeseed without change in value. Trefoil and cloverseed
but little doing. Tares rather cheaper.

consequently not so brisk ; prime easier than last week.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAL)

Two deicer..

The funds are firm at yesterday's improvesint.
There is not much business going forward. La
the other departments of the Stock Ruthaws
prices are well maintained, and there is no varier-
tion calling for special notice, business being quiet.
At Paris this morning, accotding to Mr. Reuter%
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
67fr. 85c., being sc. lower than yesterday.
11 Consols are officially marked 89} and j, ex
div., for money, and 89} and j, ex disc,
for the account. The present quotation is 84
to I, both for money and the 10th inst.
The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cents. Reduced, 881, I ; New Three
per Cents., 88i, f ; Thirty Years' Annuities.
1885, 14 ; India Five per Cent. Stock.
989, 1, ex div. ; ditto for account, 98}, ex div. ;
ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 96 ; ditto,
1859, 959,; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " enfaced's
rupee paper, 1002 ; Exchequer Bills, June, Lk, die.

The late rise in Turkish bonds is Well maintained ;
the loan of 1854 is quoted, 74} to 751, sad
that of 1858, 60 to 1, after being marked
601. Mexican bonds show renewed dulness,.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Two-sed-
a-Half per Cents., 681 ex div. (Exchange
12t) ; Greek, 71, 7. ; Mexican Three per Ceuta.,
for account, 221, 22, ; New Granada
Active, 15 ; ditto Deferred, 5} ; Portuguese Three
per Cents., 1853, 46*, 1, ex div. ; Russian Three
per Cents., 1859, 611, ; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1854, for account, 741 ; ditto Six' per Cents., 1868,
for account, 60, ft, 591, 601.

In the discount nia;icet yesterday the demand was
brisker, and not much business was done below six
per cent. At the Bank of England the applicabises
were to a fair extent. The bulk of the quarterly
advances made by that establishment fall repayable
on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 9th and 10th
inst., the former being &Loth. day for the commence-
ment of the payment of the dividends.

In the Consul market the rate for loans was
slightly lower, at 5 to 54 per cent.
Nine thousand pounds in gold was bought by the
Bank yesterday, and 50,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn for America.

~,;I;:lieTti;ei-W-the Mexican packet was sold
yesterday at ss. d. per onnos, and the Mexican
dollars at 4s. 1 . Compared with the previous
sale, a decline of .is shown in the former imagism,
and of id. in the latter, but lower prices have bees
current in the interval. The magnitude of tin'
present supply, the limited inquiry for the Kest,
and the recent alteration at the Bank of France,
are the causes of the fall. _ _

The Donald M'Kay, from Melbourne for England,
with 200,0001. in gold., put into Pernambuco on Um
12th ult.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm,
with sales to the extent of 15,000 bales.
The particulars are published of bonds to tie
amount of 33,000/. of the Brazilian Five per Coat.
Loan of 1843 which have been drawn, and will be
paid off at par on the Ist Jan. next.
The Eastern Counties Railway trait) retort
shows this week a decrease of 1,743/. ; the lea-
cashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 5111. ; the
Midland, a decrease of 1,2971. ; the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 1311. ;
and the North Eastern, en increase of 3,9251.
The half-yearly dividend to the 30th ult., at the
rate of 7 per cent. per annum, will be payable to
the shareholders in the Albert Medical and Family
Endowment Life Assurance Company on the 10th
inst.

The half-yearly dividends are advertised on Na-
mur and Liege Railway preference and ordinary
shares.

The position of the market for American securi-
ties is noticed as follows by Messrs. D. Bell, Son,
and Co. :

There has been during the past week • steady demand fir
American securities of almost every description, and trans-
actions to exile eiwiiderable extent have taken place in
United State; Five per Cent. at 71 to 71l ; Virginia Six per
Cent. Bonds at 41 ' • Lieorgia Five per Cent Sterling Bends
at 45 ; Micnig w Sit per Cent. at 68 ; Missouri Biz per
Cent. at 36 to 3d ; Alabama Five per Cent. at 46. In m -
road securities there boa been little business doing, and
prices remain steady.
The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks,
and Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales :
- -

At the thirteenth series of publis sales there was a fir
demntul for both dry and salted hides, a fair portico of the
quantity offered being disposed of at full prices.
East lndis—flx and Cow --Oaloutta.—Hides of geed In
prime quality were well competed for, and realised very
extreme prices to an occasional advance of id. to id. par lb.
Common sod middling sorts were ohiedy sold at forme
rater. Both the home trade and exporters wen bugs
buyers. Madras, Pondicherry, ka., were may part sal,
The analysis of the sales is 04357 Calcutta new
24,883 brought forward from former sales, and
Madras, Pondizberry, de. ; in all 93,4134 hides, of whiffs
79976 were sold.

The return of the Bank of England for the week

for the previous week, shows the following changes;

character than the public have been prepared for.
The commercial demand upon the Bank has bora
very heavy, and, as the establishment has at tbs
Ham., time hem called upon to melt) disbursements
ou government account to a considerable amoaat,
ac usual at this period, the reserve has been rather
severely trenched upon. The coin and bonito
have also declined considerably, owing partly to
the shipments of specie to America, and partly to
the demand for coin for the provinces.
