cap. 97, no stamp duty was imposed specifically on a
transfer of a bond for payment of money, such a trans-
fer, except under 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
ttansftsr of a bond, such duty being ad valorem, as
in the case of a common money bond, where the amount
secured does not exceed 1,4001., and 355. in every other
case. I am of opinion that this provision was intended
to extend to all cases of transfer of bonds, and that it
would be so applied by the courts of law, 84c."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Sa.,
turday were well supplied with home-grown Wheats,
but their general quality was inferior. Selected sample/
moved off steadily, at full prices; but inferior parcels
were very dull. B arley, Oats, and Beans—the supplies
of which were small—commanded a fair amount of at..
tention; but Malt arid Peas were dull. In Flour, rather
a larger business wa s transacted.
_ _

Our continental a dviees state that the inquiry for
most articles of grain has somewhat improved. The
latest accounts from New York are to the efftct that the
export trade was rather inactive.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English
Grain wore small. From abroad we received 11,975
quarters of Wheat, 11,875 Barley, 594 Beans, 143 Peal.
4,197 Linseed, 2,953 Rapeseed, 203 Mustard Seed, 208
sundry Seeds, 1,650 !sacks and 13,694 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the supply of English
Wheat, coastwise, was but moderate, and in very mid..
cluing 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
and inferior kinds met a moderate inquiry, and we have
no change to notice in their value. Prior to the close
of the market a good clearance had been effected.
Several parcels of both Red and White were disposed
of for forward delivery at very full prices.
We ,a •ere tolerably well, but not to say heavily, sup•
plied wi th foreign Wheat. For all good and dry quali-
ties the in quirt' was firm, but no advance was noticed in
prices. Most other kinds were held at very full cur-
rencies.

Floating t. .urgoes wore in improved request, at the ex-
treme rates of last week, The arrivals off the coast
have increase d.

The supply of both English and foreign Barley being
limited, that a. Thole was in improved request, and late
currencies were fully supported.
Malt comman led more attention, and fine Chevalier
parcels were so, uewhat dearer, although the supply
ready for deliver; was seasonably good.
The show of 0, tte being smaller than for some week.
past, the Oat trade was firm at an advance in the quota-
tions of from 6d to As per quarter.
We had a steady inquiry for Peas at full prices.
White Peas sold madly at is per quarter more money;
but grey were is lo wer.
Indian Corn dull, ,'ortt rather a large business was doing
in English and Foreign Flour at full quotations.

We wets , again liberally supplied with foroi gn stock,
but its general quality was inferior. From our own
grazing t nstricts the arrivals of Beasts were COBl3iderably
less than on Monday last, nevertheless they vi ere sea-
sonably large, at least two-thirds of them being beneath
the middle quality; there was a decided improvo.ment in
the dems .nd for the best breeds, at an advance in the
quotatioi is of fully 2d per 81bs, whilst the value of other
kinds of Boasts had an upward tendency. A few very
