MARKETS-..This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our rriarket this morning the arrivals of
English wheat were very small, but sevt ral parcels left over
from Monday were on offer The coneflieu of the produce
was tolerably good, but the demand, both for red and white
qualities, was in a sluggish state at fully Monday's reduc-
tion in prices.

The supply of foreign wheat, both ex ehip and ex-
granary, was somewhat extensive. All qualities met adult
sale, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous currencies.

Malting barley, owing to the close of the malting season
commanded very little attention. Grinding and distilling
aorta moved off heavily at fully the late decline in pricea.
In malt a limited busiuus wee transacted on former
terms.

Good and fine oats sold steadily at full prices; otherwise,
the trade was dull The supply on offer was moderate.
No change took place in the value of beans or peas, but
the demand for them was in a sluggish state.

The flour trade was dull at about stationary prices. The
supply of barrels en offer was moderate.
On Friday next the market will be closed.

PRIVATEERING.—The Boston traveller says :
" We do not hear of any movement in this vicinity
to take advantage of the new law authorising the issue of
letters of marque. One great difficulty, provided a satialac
tory commission from the President could be procured, is
the present scarcity of steam-vessels of bufficient speed and
strength for the desired purpose. It is rumoured that com-
missions will be granted against the rebel privateers, old
not for the capture of vessels attempting to run the
blookado."

accommodation in the open market at 4 per cent.

more numerous than of late. The commercial

anticipation of the holidays, which, together with
the necessary preparation for the 4th of the month,
when, as usual, a considerable number of mercan-
tile securities will arrive at maturity, exercises an
influence.

About £35,000 in gold was taken into the Bank

Owing to the attractions of foreign stocks the
market for the English Funds is still neglected,
but although there is a paucity of business no dimi-

nution is apparent of the firmness recently exhi-
bited by the quotations. The advance is ex-
ceedingly well maintained, the latest prices
of Consols being 921 _a for money. 92a 1 for the
account, and 921 II for the May settlement. The

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
78. !oici. pur ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n arty 2- iliths . er cent. clew er in London than in Paris.
By advises tram Hamburg the price ot go;d is 4.:4 per stark.
and the short exchange on London is 13.: 4 per £1 sterling.
tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, ebout
5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
'the comae of exchange at New York on London for bills at

days,' Ni,tlit is about 171 per cent., and the premium on
gol is 65 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
impor tat.on of f.tol‘i tsorn the United States.
