The corn market yesterday, was firmer, and in some
eases sellers of wheat obtained a slight advance upon
Monday's rates. Since last Friday week no lees than
62 floating cargoes of grain have arrived at ports of
call, of which 19 consist of wheat and 14 of maize.
The transactions in this branch of the market have
this week been more animated, owing partly to
statements that the potato disease is extending. The
French corn markets remain flat. At Paris a further
decline has taken place.

market is from Messrs. W. J. and li. Thompson ;
The colonial markets have been very dull, prices of many
articles showing • downward tendency. Although the quan-
tity al eager brought forward has not berm large, the males

the week met with a brisk demand at le. per cwt. advance,
bat to-day the market is quiet. The drat portion of the sales
In Holland went off on Monday at about 1 cent. below the
valuations, the total quantity finding purehmers ; but the

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, August 29, compared with the per
vions return, shows the following results:
Circulation ism
Cirel&MOD active
Publie deposits
Other deposits
Government securities in
banking &vestment 10,693,664 Without alteration
Other mourines in banking
Impartment 17,811,663 Inman 458,278

degartmente
llorrea day and other bilis 784,059 Increase 56.367
The Ran
Mohr in reserve 5,999,790 Increase 168,905
This return is satisfactory, but less so than many
persons allowed themaelves to hope. The larger
portion of the Treasury deposits paid in during the
week was employed in discounts, &c., and the in-
crease in the reserve of notes is therefore small. The
increase in the bullion does not exceed 270,4581.,
although last week the Bank bought not far short
of half a million in gold ex the steamer Great
Britain and the packets from the United States. A
shipment of upwards of 60,000 sovereigns was made
to the Brasil last week, and large quantities of
coin are required in the provinces for agricultural
operations.

The funds to-day sustained a fresh fall of per
cent., owing chiefly to the apprehension that far-
ther unfavourable intelligence may arrive by the
next mail from India. The belief is also gaining
ground that a loan must ultimately be resorted to,
to meet the heavy expenses incurred in the move-
ment of troops, &c. In the Russian war ample
evidence was afforded of the costliness of the trans-
port service, although in that case our distance
from the scene of operations was comparatively mo-
derate. The downward tendency of the stock
market to-day was aggravated by the movements
in preparation for the settlement of the monthly so-
count in Consols. The rate of"continuation
exacted from speculative holders has advanced to
7-16 to per cent., the former fraction being at the
rate of about 6 per cent, per annum. This move.
ment indicates that, although the investments of the
public during the last few weeks have relieved the
market of a considerable masa of stock, the floating
supply is still large.

At Paris the variations in the French funds con-
tinue very unimportant. The Three per Cent.
Rentes advanced to-day 6c., closing at 66.86 for
money, and 67.5 for the end of September. Con-
aiderable sensation has been excited by the announce-
ment that there is a division in the board of the
Credit Mobilier Society, arising out of the affairs of
the MM. Thurneyssen. It is positively stated that
one of the directors, M. Ernest Andre, has retired,
and it is added that his example will probably be
followed by some of his colleagues. Further details
will, in all likelihood, soon transpire.
At Vienna a lees favourable feeling prevails In
financial circles. The Austrian funds are drooping,
and the exchange on London has advanced to
10.12.
