MARKET NEWS-(THIS ;DAY;)

Although the supply Of English Wheat on sale in
to-day's market somewhat
was 80.
on the increase, the ar-
rival of that grain, coastwise, since Saturday, amounted
CORN EX.CHANGE-WEDNESDAY
to 2,910 quarters, and the attendance of buyers by no
means large. The demand ruled steady,
at prices fully
equal to those obtained on Monday last, and a good
clearance was effected. From abroad, 1,830 quarters of
Wheat have come to hand. We had a fair, but by no
means active, inquiry for that article, at fully previous
rates. There was more doing in floating cargoes. The
show of Barley being on the increase, the demand was
less active, yet prices were well supported. In Malt,
very little was doing, but no decline was submitted to
in prices. Larger quantities of Oats having arrived
from Ireland and abroad, the trade was dull, and in-
ferior qualities were 6d. per quarter lower. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn, commanded very little atten-
tion, but Flour was quite as dear.

The dividenddelacreciyesteray d__---at
the meeting of
the Southampton Dock Company was ss. per share, and the
report and accounts were carried. The discussion princi-
pally related to the increase of business likely to be promoted
by the extension of steam navigation, and the facilities for
general traffic in connexion with the port of Southampton.
The present dividend was a small one, but it was intimated
that there was every prospect of its being maintained, and it
was hoped the directors would shortly find themselves in a
position to recommend a higher rate. Before the close of
the proceedings a vote of
the board to give further aCOOI. was authorised to tunablecommodation for dock business,
and make other arrangements to improve a part of their
propsrty leased for a sugar refinery.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export, and 1,500 on speculation. The market
closed firmly, and prices had an upward tendency. The
sales comprised 6,000 American, 10 Maranham, at 7d;
50 Egyptian, at 5d to 9d; 500 Surat, at 3i-cl to 44d; and
60 Sea Island, at ls, lid. per lb.—The share Market
was firm at higher prices.
The statement made yesterday at the Southampton
Dock Company's meeting shows a steady increase in the
trade of that outport.
The monthly returns of trade and navigation, to the
sth ultimo, have been completed, and they serve to show
the way in which the past year wound up. The annual
statement we gave a tew days since. Looking at the
imports, we find a large increase in cattle, sheep, coffee,
flax, fruit, hemp, raw silk, stints, sugar, tallow, tea,
timber, and wool; but there was a decrease in cotton,
wine, tobacco, spices, provisions, and gram.
The exports of the month, compared with the corre-
sponding period of last 3 ear, present the :ollowing re-
sults:—

1851. 1852.
Cotton manufactures ... £2,031 404 ... £1,873,381
Linen (into ... 378,502 ... 361.721
Silk ditto . 100,657 ... 79,980
Woollen ditto ..- 623,126 ... 606,537
Earthenware ... ... 81,105 ... 86,626
Hardware ... ... 237.319 .., 227.182
Bar Iron ... ... _ 148,721 ... 167,445

There was en increase also in the exports, during the
month, of beer, coals, haberdashery, machinery, and
cotton and woollen yarn.
The tonnage returns of the mouth show entries, in-
wards, 544,190 against 467,846, at the corresponding
date of 1851; and, looking at the several countries to
which the vessel belonged, we find the United Kingdom
showing a large increase, Russia standing next. France
third, while the United States and the Italian States
had a smaller number of ships engaged in the trade
with us.

The shareholders of the Societe Generale, at their
annual meeting, received a moat favourable report.
The dividend and bonus was equal to 86 francs per
share, and the total business amounted to 988 millions
of francs. . . _

In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 23d inst.
Home Securities were firm, and with a tolerable business
doing. Spanish Bonds were feebler, and also Mexican
and South American. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
brought 58:4' to 13-16.
The Bank of France, it is reported, will reduce by 1.
per cent. its rate of discount.
The English Stock Market was very quiet this morn-
ing, but well supported. There is neither real nor
speculative business doing. Consols have been 97i to
I from the commencement of business to the present
time. Bank Stock has advanced to 218} The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99- to I,
and the Three per Cents. 97i to Exchequer-bills
have been steady at 603. to 635. premium.

The period for receiving tenders for the West India
loan is farther postponed until the 3d of next month.

Foreign Securities have been quiet generally. A
favourite speculative investment just now appears to be
the Spanish , Committee's Certificate, and this has
advanced to 1i per cent. The Three per Cents.
are 41* to and the Five per Cents. were
nominally at an improvement to 23i and 24*. Grenada
Bonds are neglected, but not lower. The Deferred are
Bi. Equador remain without alteration. Peruvian are
quiet at 100; and the Deferred at 49. Mexican Bonds
have not risen to any extent, although it is pretty well
understood that arrangements have been made with
Messrs. Baring Brothers for an early payment
of 5/. on account of the Indemnity Money, and it is
well known that when the assets are collected there will
be about another 1L coming to the creditors, besides the
dividend of per cent, already advertised. Perhaps
the payment is scarcely so important as the evidence it
affords of the earnest desire of Mexico to fulfil its obli_
gations. The quotations are 32i to 33. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are marked 33 to 331. Belgian Four-
per Cents. are dull at 90.
and-a-Half

The Railway Share Market is very buoyant again, and
improved prices have been obtained for the principal
lines. A rise has ()centred in Lancashire and York-
shire of to 1, North-Western Bristol and Exeter,
to
Great Northern I, Midland to
-a, I,South-
Eastern to and in moat of the smaller lines in the
same proportion. Foreign Shares have been generally
rather higher.

Gold Mine Shares have been in more request, and at
firmer prices generally, Nouveau Monde excepted.
