%ere estirn irum 7 000 to 8.000 ba'cs, about 3,000
bales of which were taken for export and on specula-
tion.—The Share Market opened rather firmly, but
closed heavily, and prices had a downward tendency.
In the Grain Market this morning there is extreme
dulness, and prices have further declined. The arrivals
are large, including 21,880 quarters of foreign wheat.
In the markets for colonial and foreign produce this
week there has been a moderate business, and within
the last two days holders are firm and offer less. Coffee
has been very firm. Generally the export demand for
goods has been rather slack, and steples used Lr
manufacturing purposes have been quieter. The
following is a report upon the state of the metal market
during the past month, as furnished by Mr. William
Short:—

" There has been an improved demand for Welch
bar iron during the past month. Makers have
realised 51. 53. per ton, free on board
in Wales, for parcels for immediate delivery ;
and in second hands there is nothing to be
had under Si. 2s. 6d. per ton. For rails there is also
more inquiry. The price of Staffordshire Iron is without
alteration. Owing to a strike among the colliers, some
difficulty was recently experienced in executing orders,
but these have now returned to work, and supplies can be
had from Staffordshire as before. In Scotch Pigs there
has been a comparative absence of business; the market
wears a drooping aspect, and the price is nominally 445.
6d. mixed numbers ordinary brands, and 4fis. per ton No.
1 Garthsherrie. In Sweedes Iron there is little doing.
Copper has, of late, been in good demand, and at
the present price the copper houses evince little inclina-
tion to add to their orders. A rise is generally antici-
pated. English tin is in moderate request, and the price
firm. Foreign is little inquired for. Straits was bought
in at public sale at 635. per cwt. Coke tin
plates are much inquired for, and are still
scarce, owing to a continued deficiency in the supply of
water required for the Tin-plate Works. Lead is in
moderate request. Holders ask 151. and 151. 55,. per ton
on the spot, and for Spelter to arrive 141. 17s. 6d. per
ton has been paid. The stock here is small,
only 1,360 tons, against 2,800 tons at this
period last year ; but it is apprehended
that a considerable quantity must now ceme in from
the other side before the closing of the navigation, and
holders, in consequence, hesitate to purchase."
The lamburgh mail of Tuesday brings the quotation
for bills on London at 13s. 91d., and the price of gold
at 436. There was a good deal doing in the exchanges.
The market for stocks and shares was firm.
Accounts from Poland state that the harvest in that
country will not be good, and that heavy rains had re-
cently injured the scanty crops.
The Continental Stock-markets, according to the
letters received this day, were all buoyant. lAt Am.
sterdam, Dutch Bonds had still a tendency to rise.
The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 54e. Ia Spanish
and Portuguese Bonds there was no alteration. At
Berlin Foreign Stocks were all rising considerably on
the 4th instant, :and at Frankfort, on the 4th instant,
shares were advancing, and Austrian Stock was without
change. In the Vienna market, on the Ist instant, the
Metallics were quoted 95e.
Beyond the tact of continued firmness, there is
nothing to remark upon in connexion with the English
Stock Market. Consols remain at 92k,t0 ; the Re-
duced Three per Cents. have been 92a to -I ; and the
New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 93i to 94.
Bank Stock has been firm at 200. Exchequer-bills have
been marked 395. to 425. premium, and India Bonds,
735. to 76;. premium.
In the Foreign Securities business is not animated.
Spanish Five per Cents. aro 17i to 18, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. nominally 28 to 29. Brazil Bonds have
been 85 to 87. Danish Stock has been 721 1. Mexican
Bonds are 27i.
Railway Shares, although very quiet, are looking
tolerably firm; but Midland and the other York lines
are flatter.
