•.• MOIIDAT
The assents from the sentinental bursas tepee-
Vise the eseekets generally es extremely languid,
We wittiest any important change in valuer. At
Aieslerdant integrals were gaoled 57 7-16 ; French
Thine per Cents. were lower sed Left off it 37 9-18;
Reed= Five pee Cub. (Hope), 1816, 1051 ; Spanish
Arden, 5101., had improved, and were last done at
12 9-18 ; Austrian Metalliques Five per Cent.. 80.
At Antwerp and Benumb scarcely any bushing wee
doing in National Securities, and prices remained the
game ; the Five per Cent., 1840-42, being last qaoted,
99t sellers; Spanish Three per Cents. were in demand
at 331. At Frankfort the bourse wee rather
doll, and the late edema, which had taken
place in the Austrian funds was not eus-
Mined, pion having declined fully 1 to since
-the previous day; the Five per Cent. Metalliques were
last quoted 821; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents, 711;
the Three per Cents, 491. Bank Shares also had de-
clined 10f., the last prim being 1218.
Letters nom Antwerp repute that the produce
ztiMe has not been marked by any particular
during the past yea, except in the article of
rice, in which much more activity has been shown,
the transactions amounting to 17,000 bap East India
sad 1,250 tierces Carolina, at fiemer prices. The
coffee market was gaiety sad tether weak in price,
with so demand beyond local commits lion. Sept, re-
mains finn is price, but with Ins budnsa -doing.
In hides a moderate business was doing at previous
rates. For olive oil there wee rather more demand at
full prices. The cotton market was quits inactive,
owing to the went of disponible stock in first hands:
In spies very little business was doing, and the same
may be said of metals and dye woods. For wool the
demand continues limited, with very small stocks. In
tobacco scam ly anything bad been done during the
week. Fur grain there was a very motive demand,
and a large amount of business had been done at
gradually rising prices.
Homburg advice, of the 9th state that the coffee
market was exceedingly inactive, the total sales of
the week automating to only 5,200 bags, of which
4,400 were Brasil, at 3 13.16 to 41, being a sight
&cline from previous rated. Sugar bad not expe-
rienced the least variation, and sales were limited to
800 chests Havana, and 300 chests Bahia, at previous
rates. In rice nothing of importance was doing,
and the market was unchanged. Hides were firm in
price. There was leas demand for spelter, and only
4.000 canner on the spot had been done at 9.11 and
9.12, and 2,000 ceutner for delivery at 9.13 and 9.14.
Unfavourable weather had occasioned a little more
animation in the grain market. Rye especially was
in good request. Funds were firm, but with little
doing. Gold was at 435 marks, and exchange on
London, 13 81 for short.
Late advice, from Galata mention the exceedingly
favourable prospects for the harvest in most districts,
particularly in Lower Moldavia, Wallachia, and Bul-
garia, the weather being all that could be desired to
favour the reaping, in which considerable progress
bad already been made. The crop of barley, rye, and
hard wheat was abundant, that of rye especially so,
and had Lever been exceeded either in quantity or
quality. Tne reaping of soft wheat and maize bad
not commenced, but appearances indicated a pros-
perous harvest and good quality for both grains.
There had been a very good demand for wheat
for the Mediterranean, and for maize for Great
&Me, the former at 245. 1 Id. to 235. 10d. 1. o. b.,
and the latter at 17.. 3d. to 16.. Id. 1. o. b. In barley
and rye no hesitater was doing, purchasers holding
off until the new crop comes to a arket in all Augur.
As English vessel had been taken up at 9r. Exchange
on London, 931 to 911 for three months.
L•tters from 'lriere of the 3rd, with reference to
the Colonial produce market, state that the operations
in sugar during the preceding month were not of any
magnitude, and prices of all descriptions had declined.
the total sales during July amounted to 4,400 pack-
loges, and 1,000 bags at 16 to 171 f. for Brazil, and 141
to 17f. for yellow Havana middling to fine. For
coffee the demand for the Levant, coupled
with reduced stocks and a speculative inquiry, had
enabled holders to raise their prices 2f. per mother
for most descriptions. The total sales during July
were 14,200 burs and 300 crake, at 291. to 35 f. for
Rio, and 31 f. to 391. for La Guayrs. C eons bad given
way 1 f. in price, the last sale being at 161 f. for Bahia.
Cassia war neglected, and had declined 5 f. in price.
Pepper was without alteration. Cotton, owing to the
continued favourable advice' from America and
England, had experienced an active demand, and
prices a-Ivanced 4 1. per oentner, but subsequently the
market became weak, and prices gave way If. Alto-
gether 17,000 bales were disposed of, of which
5,000 bales were American, at 50 f. to 57 1.
Hyena:lds generally were well maintained. With
reference to exports, 't appears that the favodtable
accounts of the wheat harvest had the effect of causing
a decline of 1 f. per stars, but a demand springing up
during the last ten days for England, holders had been
enabled to recover the previous decline. Seven cat-
goes of grain bad already been despatched for Great
Britain, and four more were preparing for the same
destination. The grain shipments to England include
Indian corn and Egyptian beans. Tne favourable re-
port.. of the next crop of oil had caused prices to de-
cline 2f. per orna for Puglia end Levant. 5.800 ores
of Puglia had been done at 25 to 2611 ; 1,500 orne
Levant at 244 to 261. Currants were without &here-
' tion ; whilst raisins and sultanas were If. lower. The
expered supplies of wcol had not arrived. Freights
to London were quoted 30s. per ton for shumac, and
ss. per qr. for corn and snide. Exchange on London
war f. 11.38.
