—(Twls DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday Wee
very scantily supplied with wheat; yet the demand foray
kinds was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices'
Barley and malt had a downward tendency. Beans, Pa"?
and flour command very little attention.
The latest advices from New York state that flour Iva
firm, and rather dearer. The Baltic French and Mediter
ranoan markets have been dull and drooping for most ar•
titles.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports amounted
21,837 quarters of wheat, 10,084 barley, 22,315
oats,
rye, 436 peas, 15 tares, 4,174 linseed, 643 rapeseed, 33
sundry seeds, 2,616 sacks and 5,999 barrels of flour.
A very limited quantity of old English wheat was re
ceived fresh up to our-market to-day coastwise and by land
carriage; but there were about 150 quarters of the present
year's growth on offer from Essex, Kent, and Sussex, ill
excellent condition. These parcels changed hands at from
64s to 75s per quarter—the latter quotation being for
Talavera. The first parcels of new corn offered at the
corresponding market day in 1853, and realised from 50e
to 63s per quarter. For all kinds, the demand was in a
dull state, notwithstanding that very unfavourable poem"
came to hand respecting the progress of the otato dismiss,
at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of is
per quarter.
bou
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. .A.
an average business was transacted in good and 8n341
parcels on lower terms. All other kinds were dull, and
2s per quarter cheaper.
No English barley was at market, but the show:of foreign_
was larger. The trade ruled heavy, at from is to 2s Per
quarter less money.
The inquiry for malt was in a depressed state, and the
quotations were the turn in favour of buyers. The
trade was heavy, but no material change took Place
value.
The few beans on offer met a dull inquiry, and Pre-
-
showed a tendency to decline.
In peas, so little was doing that the quotations We
almost nominal.

Indian corn was held at full quotations.
The flour trade was dull. In prices, however, very
little change took place.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday cg
Were estimated at 6,000 bales, includiug 1,000

American taken for export and on speculation

The market was tame, but steady. The sales cone
- -

prised 5,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham
at Old. to 61d., 20 Bahia at 61d., 200 Egyptian at
60. to 9'd., 300 Surat at 3d. to 41-d., and 350 Sea
Islands at 10d. to ls. sd. per lb. Railway Shares
were dull at lower prices.
• As might be expected from the continuance of
the fine growing and harvest weather the corn
market was in a drooping state to-day, and prices
generally in decline. About 150 quarters of new
wheat were on sale in Mark-lane in excellent con-
dition. The reduction in cereal values so far, and
which from present appearances may be looped for
continuously for some time to come, is calculated,
with other beneficial consequences, to exercise a
, considerable influence on the money market, and on
the rates of interest and discount. Large amounts
• of capital will of course become disengaged, which
heretofore have been necessary to the representa-
tion of the higher prices of corn ruling, added to
which the tendency of an abundant production of
. home growth will be to diminish materially the 2
quantity of bread stuffs required from abroad, s
whilst from the lower prices which will prevail so
much capital less will be absorbed in payment S
for that lesser quantity which shall arrive.
. It may be observed that whether such payment St
be made in hard money or bills representing money, lc
or, in commodities, the effect will be the same, of St
releasing so much capital. Supposing, which may 10
be hoped, and so far as the -United States may be St.
anticipated, that payments fur imported breadstuffs St.
• shall be balanced or covered by fabrics and pro- St.
ducts exported, and that the present market value St.
• of these, shall be supported, if not enhanced, it St.
should result that with a greatly-decreased cost of 12
the raw material of life the country will be the 52,
gainc.or in addition by all the profits of exported in- 141
dustry. In so far a large proportion, if not the St:
whole, of the surplus prots from past high prices 194
necessarily paid away for an excess of foreign sup- 14
. Plies will be recovered, and thus on the sound free
2-0
_ trade priliciple the trading intercourse of nations- u_A
• Will be found to adjust a balance itself. 10
In the face of these encouraging circumstances, St.
and -with prospects of such tromise, it would seem St.
, impossible that the present high rates for money ;_g
accommodation should be long maintained. With 12
disposable capital daily in increase, and the sup- st.
ply of bills in the discount market notoriously 50
short, arising mainly indeed frcm the greater pre- 40
valence of cash payments induced by the high rates g
exacted for discount and the more restricted credit, st.
it should follow that the directors of the Bank of 512 s
England will find it necessary to take further steps St.
•in the reduction of their present minimum rate of St.
5 per cent., under-sold as they already are •by the 25°5
banks and discount houses. The recent reduction 100
Per cent. appears inadequate to satisfy the st.
legitimate conditions of the present state of money 6i
and commercial affairs. 25
The commercial advices by the Overland Mail 50
from India are of a mixed ch hatter. At Cale itta 20
the trade in piece goods was heavy,.and prices on st
the decline, without attracting purchasers. At 5(
Bombay, on the contrary, the heavier kinds of S'
cotton goods were not difficult to move at a slight
• reduction upon previous quotations, although finer
goods, such as jacconets, are neglected. The export
trade was dull, chiefly on account of the high
prices and short supplies of produce, and freights
had fa 1 n in consequence, and with a full supply
of shipping. From Hong Kong and Canton a fair
amount of business was doing iu imported commo-
dities, but teas were ruling at advancing rates,
with light stocks and not much offering. The ope-
rations of the insurgents in the province of Canton
were calculated to interfere with the passage of the
supplies from the tea districts.

The New York accounts by the St. Louis notice
a depressed stock market. Money continued easy
upon good paper, and the bankers, it is stated,
found difficulty in employing their capital. The
latest weekly return of the city banks showed a de-
crease in the deposits of $1,168,426; in the circula-
tion of $11,512; and in the specie of $333,445. The
item of discounts increased $576,709. The exports
of specie during the week ending the 29th ultimo
were $985,755, making the total for the year up to
that date, $19,108,319. In the dry goods market
foreign products were in improved demand, but
still the aggregate transactions were limited, and
the prices irregular; The value of wool, cotton,
silk, flax, &c., entered for home use in the week to
the 27th ult., was $1,871,209. From all quarters
of the States prospects of abundant crops of wheat
Were reported.
There is little change to report in public securi-
ties, in which the transactions have been of in-
considerable extent, as usual, on the first day of
the week, with a thin attendance of dealers at this
season of the year. Consols have ranged between
93g. to for money, and the same for time, the

In Railway shares not much is doing, and the
quotations have further tended downwards. The
decline is most observable in South-Western, Man-
Chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, Midland, and
York and Berwick. Great Western are consider.
ably lower, the report just issued not being so
favourable as generally anticipated. The Foreign
lines are dull but steady.
Mining shares attract very little attention, Joint-
i

firm.
