The operations of the dealers in Silver, which
during a ?ong period were characterised by so mach
activity, are brought almost to a standstill by the
state of the money market. Some large parcels,
which had been sold for transmission to the East
by the Colombo on the 20th inst., have been en-
tirely withdrawn. It is at present computed that
the total remittances by that vessel will not ex
ceed 400,0001.. inclusive of a quarter of a million
in silver despatched by the East India Company.
The steamer Alhambra, which left Southampton
to-day for the Peninsula, had upwards of 10,0001 in
bar gold on board.
The shipments of specie by the steamer La Plata,
for the West Indies, amount to 18,0001, principally
silver.

A failure was announced in the London Stock
Exchange yesterday, in connection with the settle-
ment in shares, but the amount was so small as to
be unworthy of notice.

Messrs. Bardgett and Picard, of London, have
stopped payment. The liabilities are estimated at
about 120,0001. They have been engaged in the
corn and flour trade, and large sums are due from
America. Messrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co., of
Old Jewry-chambers, have been requested to pre-
pare the statement of accounts.
The suspension of Messrs. Wm. Taylor and Sons,
a manufacturing firm, of Redbrook Works, Barnsley,
is also ennounced. •

The Portuguese financial agent publishes a
further statement of the progress of the conversion
of the debt. The total amount converted up to
the present date is 9,487,1951.
Subjoined is an extract of a letter dated Lisbon,
the 2nd November :
The continuance of the fever at Lisbon, and the fact of
its greatest virulence having been manifested in the busi-
ness part of the city, have caused a total paralysis of trade
—a natural consequence of which is a great scarcity of
money. A great number of bills have been protested,
the majority, or nearly all of them, not on account of the
insolvency of the drawers, but in consequence of their
having left their counting-houses, and being determined
to remain in the country during the prevalence of the
epidemic. Altogether, it is thought it any bankr❑ptcies
result from the present anomalous state of affairs, they will
be few and unimportant.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Noy. 17.
The immediate effect in France of the withdrawal of
the prohibition to exports, has been an advance of several
shillings per quarter and sack, in the value of wheat and
flour, which, in the face of reduction in Great Britain,
prevents operations with a profitable margin for the
moment; and until the relative features of the markets
of the two countries change, we may not look for any
material accession of supply from the source now opened
by means of the decree of the French Government, now
in force ; meantime, the anticipation of imports during
the season from a new and, until lately, unexpected
quarter, is producing an effect at this side. Most of the
British markets have suffered a decline up to the close of
the week of 2s per quarter, and those of Ireland, where
the influence of monetary pressure becomes more
apparent, have declined in a still greater proportion
the downward movement also takes effect upon spring
corn and other feeding articles, though they have not as
yet experienced a fall in value, equal to that on wheat
and flour from the highest point. At the reduction
established on Friday we have since had a continued
moderate demand for wheat here, but flour and all other
produce have ruled very dull, and quotations scarcely
better than nominal. The slightest accession of steadi-
ness advised from this side on the 17th ult., in connection
with better facilities for exchange operations, has infla
-enced an upward movement in New York, by the accounts
received thence, under date of the 3rd inst. : exceedingly
light stocks of good southern wheat are reported, the
bulk of the arrivals at the seaboard consisting of interior
western, unfit for shipment ; this grain advanced on the
week 5 to 10 cents per bushel; flour 10 to 20 cents per brl ;
and Indian earn 6 to 8 cents per bushel; the two former
articles especially being at quotations to leave a heavy
loss at our present currencies. We have a good general
import of grain, &ea during the past seven days, but
except of wheat and flour from the United States, they
have not been materially increased since the middle of
last wsek ; the exports of the leading articles are to a
tolerable extent. The depressed state of the trade and
the reduction at Mark-lane yesterday has had its full
influence upon our market this morning; we have, how-
ever, a fair attendance of buyers, and a good inquiry '
for the finer descriptions of foreign wheat, but up to the
close of market hours no important business has resulted,
though sellers willingly concede a reduction of 4a to 6d
on these sorts, and fully 6il per bushel on middling and
inferior parcels, these latter being comparatively
neglected. Flour must be noted is to 2s per sack, and
Is to is 6d per barrel lower, with limited transactions.
Beans 2s per quarter, barley 3d per bushel cheaper. Oats
sell in retail at ld to 2d per bushel, and oatmeal at Is
per load decline on the week. Indian corn is fully Is 61
per quarter cheaper for Mediterranean, and Is for
American mixed and yellow, with the business in a most
limited compass; white held for about previous rates.—
