fur the past month, observes:—
" There has been a rising market for Wheat during
the past month. In point of fact the weekly average is
now very nearly six shillings per quarter higher than in
the first seven days of the present year. For the mo-
ment there is a pause in the upward movement, and
probably the price will remain at the point it has
reached for some weeks to come. It will be seen how-
ever that the importations have been on a very limited
scale. The truth is that for the last two months ithas been
a profitable operation to export corn from some of the
eastern counties to parts of Germany. In the centre
and east of Europe there is positive scarcity. The
Zoliverein have suspended the import duties on all grain
till next harvest, and in same states the Governments
have opened storehouses. Considerable supplies have
been sent from France to Germany, and at present prices
here it is not probable that importations would yield a
profit from any part of Europe. The higher price,
howevcr, has not failed to bring out larger supplies from
the farmers, and while we are by no means sure that
higher prices will not prevail before the end of May, it
would be unwise for cautious people to overlook the con-
sideration that the market as it stands is not in a bad
state for sellers. Perhaps we may be allowed to remind
our readers that the present state of averages corre-
sponds very closely with the views we have expressed
ever since last week."
The negotiation of bills of exchange upon the prin-
cipal continental cities was effected yesterday afternoon
at a slight decline for paper dated 90 days, on Paris,
viz, 25 50 to 55 at firm rates on Amsterdam and Ham-
burgh, and at an advance to 1214 and 122 on Frank-
fort, and 12 45 to 50 on Trieste.
The proceedings yesterday at the meeting of the
Eastern Steam Navigation Company have excited a
good deal of attention, and the expediency of a Parlia-
mentary inquiry is fully acquiesced in.
The official returns of the Trade and Navigation of
the United Kingdom for the month ending the sth

the principal articles during the month stand thus:—.

corresponding date of last year 326,406 tons. The
vessels of the United Kingdom and its dependencies in-
creased, and the falling off was in Russian, Danish,
French, Italian, and Belgian ships. This refers to the
entries inwards. The outward clearances were 427,986
against 370,337 tons.
The Amsterdam Market on the Ist inst. was rather
better.

The exports of the precious metals from London direct,
