F'otn the circular of ,Messrs. Kershaw and
Jardine, we learn that—

The cuitinued accumuleion of commercial difficulties,
and ineru,es d stringency in the Money Ma ket, have had
3 deprzssing influence on nearly every branch of business
daring the past week, and has in a great measure dissi-
pated the more cheer ful feeling we noticed at the close of •
last. Our madK,..t since Monday has been extremely
languid, and holders generally have submitted to a torker
decline, ;races again being very irregnla-, and quotations
must he reduced id to 1 per lb all round, b low those
given on Fric:ny last..
There has been. a tendency towards improve-
ment in the Liverpool Share Market to-day, but
the business done was extremely limited, and nn
disposition to buy for higher pries seems to exist.

The Man hester market opened with more
obeerfulnePs ; but tha amount of business bans-
acted in either department was restricted, owing
to monetary difficulties, which are seen to have
been relieved in a lesser de4roe, and threat©n a
ioteer continuance than was generally exrected,
end which causes much anxie!:, all over the country

The Grain Markets every where exhibit a serious

declining tendency, and here it is impossible to
make sales as quickly as desired ; buyers will not
be tempted to operate beyond their immediate
requirements. Though the attendance is fair,
holders are not relieved of stock freely, and with
liberal imports the disposition to realise has occa-
sioned a decline of 31 to 6.1 per 701 b on Wheat, I.s.
to 2s per barrel on Flour, and 6.1 to is per quarter
on 'lndian Corn, all other articles being,,easier to
purchase. To-Jay's market was very dull, and all
articles could be bought at a fataler material
reduction.

In addition to the 72.0001. already mentioned,.
nearly 40,0001. of the gold brought by the Avon
from Melbourne has been sold for the Continent.
