The announcement that only £10.00,000 will be
required.this year for a loan for India, in addition to
the £2,000,000 of the last loan .issued, has operated
favourably' in :the market for the Public Funds and
Securities, and an advance took place in Consols; btit
very. little business was done. Consols closed at 94&
to 915 for both money and the account, and the New
Threes at 94 to 951-,.
The. London Railway Share Market was extremel-
inactive to-day, and there is no cli

Respecting. the Grain-Trade,. there is not much to
report. Speculation is very quiet. The harvest is
becoming general throughout the country, and the
crops are expected to prove an average, though not
eQual to last year. Farmers are holders of a consi-
derable portion of last year's stock. • France reports
a deficiency as compared with previous crops, but has
still large quantities of last year's yield in hands;
and America again promises an abundance.
Since the signing of the treaty of peace, Wool has
advanced 2d. to 2d. per lb., and the demand at pre-
sent existing induces the belief that English Wools
will reach 2s. per lb. this year. Yarns h.ave equally
advanced with the raw materal, and manufacturers
being einite full of orders, and there being plenty of
foreign ones coming in, the rise of 10 per cent. may
possibly be followed by a further one, unless an un-
looked-for decline should occur in Wool. A large
business is going on at Leeds, and manufacturers,
in
viany instances; are engaged for fully three months
to eeffie. .All 'raw materials and yarns are 71 and 10
per cent. higher in the month, and blankets are held
for Id. per lb. advance. Makers are not inclined to
accept contracts, except to a limited extent, and they
demand higher prices. ,

With the exception of purchases for India, the 'transac-
tions in Yarns have-been congiderahle since peace has been
declared. The rise in common and medium Yarns during
*he Itiouth has been fully ld.- to lid. per lb., and for some
descriptions of Double Yarns even more had to be paid. The.
hie Ymur trade has, however, not participated in this im-
brovement, some of the higher -numbers and finest Yarns
eing slightly, tower than. before. The deniand for grey
bood.s.of nearly all descriptions has been good, and stocks
eing small, a more or less extensive advance had to be paid
to secure early deliveries. 40-inch Shillings, suitable for
India,. have not been. in active Jectliest, aid have 'cense-

fluently risen less than other goods ; for while 5-4 Shirtingd

According to the <circular of Messrs. Wm. connal

day-in the stock xehange. Netwithstaxiling the dis-
qtuctimg character of the telegraphic news.by the Bombay
Mai, liov.-ever, Consols scarcely declined more than 1-16
per cent. Attention was chiefly directed to the approaching
Indian financial. statement. Increased heavineos prevailed
as regards British and Foreign Railway Shares.

The demand for money has inereaseil, anclythe supply has
diminished. 'ln Lombard-street, to-day, lAls of a:high

observable in the Stock Market; and Consols have opened
and closed to-day at a further decline of d, notwithstand-

A renewal of heaviness took place partly in consequence
of the news from India, showing the continuance of military
as well as financial difficulties.

The Railway Market -continues dull, and has experienced
a further decline.

The Cotton Market was rather quieter to-day, and

It is, in the meantime, well admitted that a good sur-
plus is carried .over from last season,. which, as well as
the stocks in granary at outports,• will shortly be in ex-
tensive requisition for mixture with, the new Grain. In
France, also, a large portion of old Wheat remains in
hand'; but from the reports of deficiency of the present
harvest, especially in the southern half of that country,
and the relatively higher rates prevailing at. the various
markets of export, there appears no early prospect of
ctur obtaining 'supplies thence, except in very limited
luantity. The American markets, on the other hand,

abundance of their several crops of grain.. The trade

at unaltered •rates generally. Except of Indian Corn,
our fresh arrivals arc light, since this day week. The
exports are to a fair • extent in Wheat, Indian Corn, and
Flour. The Wheat trade has ruled Very quiet throughout
the morning,. having very few buyers in'attendance at mar-
ket, and the currencies of Tuesday last are consequently
barely supported •in general, while, in some instances, pur-
chases were practicable at a decline of hi. per cental.

are now lower in proportion than Wheat, good French
