Only a moderate supply of English wheat was on sale
here to-day. There was no activity in the demand for any
quality ; nevertheless, all good and fine samples changed
hands at full prices.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Sales
in most qualities progressed slowly, and the total amount
of business transacted was very moderate. Prices were
without change from Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
Barley was in very moderate supply. Good and fine
malting produce ruled firm, at full currencies. Inferior
barley was
dull.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was large. Most descriptions
moved off slowly, at Monday's currency.

and a large business has been done in West India at a
slight advance on former rates. In the refined market

MONEY RABBET

AND

COMMERCIAL LNTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The payment of the dividends,, which commences
to-day, is causing a better feeling among dis-
counters, but for the present the rates charged for
accommodation show no important change. There
is only a moderate demand for money both at the
Bank and hi the open market, and with the pro-
bable increase in the supply some concessions will,
no doubt, soon be made to the commercial world.
The weekly balance-sheet from the Rank of
England, shows that the position of the establish-
merit has been further weakened, and that the
authorities have had recourse to a sale of Govern-
ment securities to strengthen their reserves. The
foilowing are the particulars :

return, which shows that the directors acted judi-
ciously in advancing the rate of discount :

There is still a quiet feeling in the discount mar-
ket, and an early decline is considered more pro-
bable than an advance. Borrowers are limiting
their transactions as much as possible, and capitalists
evince more disposition to utilise their balances. At
present, however, no substantial difference is per-
ceptible in the rates for bills or loans from day to
day on Government securities in the Stock Ex-
change.
