Messrs. Edmund Jardine and Company, say :

We have main to report a very active market this week,
with a good demand both from the trade and speculators.
The run has been chiefly on the better classes of American
which, from the anticipated scarcity, are expected to
command very extreme prices, and we quote an advance of
3-16 d. to per lb. on last Friday's currency in those
qualities, and ed. to 3-16 d. in the lower grades. There has
been a fair enquiry for Brazil and Egyptian, and the former
are lid to id., and the latter an 4d. dearer. The Stock
of Surat is now under 10,000 bales, and they are fully Bcl.
higher.

The Liverpool Stock Exchange has again shown

were :—Eastern Counties, 121 ; East •Lancashire,
931 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 951' 951, 951 ; do.

day, although some considerable engagements were
entered into on Continental account. Prices for
both goods and yarns continue very firm.
The Corn trade everywhere continues dull. At
Wakefield, to-day, wheat was is per quarter lower,.
with very little business. In Liverpool, although
the attendance was larger, the amount of business
done was very limited, and previous Prices were
with difficnity maintained.
The Loudon market for public securities
opened weaker this morning, in consequence
of the decline in the French Funds yesterday,

were quoted at 964 to 961, but closed at 96. Ex-:
chequer Bills left off at 35 to 38 prem.

previous prices for the low kinds were with difficulty
sustained, but for the better s9rts the biddings were
active mid full rates realised:

It is officially announced that the steamer Pera
will take for Bombay, to-morrow, £384,925 in
silver, all on private account, being the largest re-
mittance despatched to that port during a lengthened
period.
It does not appear that the inquiry for money in
the discount market has been very extensive, but
there is nevertheless a demand which supports the
average rate at 24 to 2+ per cent. The public and
private establishments are transacting an increased
