cap. 97, no stamp duty was impose] specifically on sl
transfer of a bond for payment of money, such a trans..
far, except rnder some special authority, not being
allowed in law, every such transfer, therefore.
was chargeable with a duty of 355., but by
that Act, duty is specially charged on the
transfer of a bend, such duty being ad valorem, as
in the case of a common money bond, where the amount
secured does not exceed 1,4091., end 355. in every other
case. I am of opinion that this provision was intended
to extend to all eases of trensfer of bonds, and that it
would be so applied by the courts of law, &c."

MARKET NE WS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Nearly the whole of the country markets held on SA.
turdey were well supplied with home-grown Wheat;.
but their general quality was inferior. Selected samples
moved off steadily, at tell prices; but inferior parcels
were very dull. Barley, Oats, and Beans—the supplies
of which were small—commanded a fair amount of at...
tention; but Malt and Peas were dull. In Flour, rather
a larger business was transacted.
Our continental advises state that the inquiry for
moat articles of grain has somewhat improved. The
latest accounts from Now York are to the effect that the.
export trade was rather inactive.
Up to Mr market last week the arrivals of English
Grain were small. From abroad we received 11,975
quarters of Wheat, 11,875 Barley, 594 Beans, 143 Peas,
4,197 Linseed, 2,953 Rapeseed, 203 Mustard Seed, 208
sundry Seeds, 1,650 sacks and 13,694 barrels of Flour.
Fresh np to eur market to-day the supply of English
Wheat, coastwise, was but moderate, and in very mid-
dling condition. By land carriage the receipts were
limited, hence the show of samples of both Red and
White was small. Notwithstanding that the attendance
of both town and country millers was by no means
large, selected samples of home-grown wheats moved off
steadily, and, in some few instances, the quotations were
a shade higher than on Monday last. The middling
end inferior kinds met a moderate inquiry, and we have
no change to notice in their value. Prior to Use close
of the market a good elearanee had been effected.
Several parcels of both Red and White were dif posed
of for forward delivery at very full prices.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, sup•
plied with foreign Wheat. For all good and dry -quell.
ties the inquiry was firm, but no advance was not iii
prices. Most other kinds were held at very fall t cur-.
rencies.

Floating cargoes were in improved request, at thi 3 ex-
treme . rates of last week. The arrivals off the coast
have increased.

The supply of both English and foreign Barley b ring
limited, that article was in improved request, and data
currencies were fully supported.
Malt commanded more attention, and fine Cher: tier
parcels were somewhat dearer, although the au] )ply
ready for delivery was seasonably good.
The show of Oats being smaller than for some we elca
past, the Oat trade was firm at an advance in the quo la_
dons of from Gil to Is per quarter.
We bad a steady inquiry for Peas at full prices.
White Pens sold readily at is per quarter more went y;
but grey were is lower.
Indian Coin dun; but rather a large business waa del
in English and Foreign Flour at full quotations.

Pia were again liberally supplied with foreign stock,
but its general quality was inferior. From our own 4
grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts torero considerably
less than on Monday last, nevertheless they were sea^
sonably large, at least two-1i irds of th©m being beneath
the middle quality; there was a decided improvement in.
the demand for the best breeds, at an advance in the
quotations of fully 2d per 81bs, whilst the value of other
kinds of Beasts had an upward tendency. A few verb,
superior Scots realised 4s per Sibs, but the general top
figure for Beef was 3s 10d per 81hs. The arrivals from. Lincolnshire, Leicmershire, and Northamptonshire
amounted to 2,250 short horns. From other parts of
England we received 400 short horns, Horofords, runts,
&c,; and from gtcotlancl, 40 horned and polled §ceta.
