with little business doing.
Wheat met with a very dull sale at Mark-lane to-day,
()wing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work,
and the certain speedy re-opening of the German porte,
and the prices gave way from those of Monday last 4s.
per quarter for wheat. In spring corn scarcely any bu•
siness was transacted.
Yoe very favourable character of the Beard of Trade
returns has been the subject of general comment. An
increase in the exports of more than thirteen hundred
thousand pounds upon the month of June last, compared
eenh the corresponding period of 1848, is of itself im•
portant, and could not but inspire great hopes of the
future, since, upon examination, it is manifest that the
augmentation is in many of the leading branches of our
Manufacturing industry. The imports are certainly
much larger, but they add to the substantial comfort
of our people, and have, no doubt, stimulated the ex-
port business.
The steamer Niagara from the United States arrived
at Liverpool at ten o'clock this morning, but this is too
late to allow of our receiving the letters to day.
The West India letters have come to hand
this morning, and they are rather important,
though of a chequered character. The weather
continued dry in several of the colonies,
and notably in Demerara and Jamaica, but Barbados s
was more favoured, copious rains having fallen and given
a great impulse to vegetation. The island of Jamaica
was agitated by the dissolution of the Assembly, and the
general elections which were expected to bring in a
more determined set of Financial Reformers than had
previously existed. The amount of Bank-notes in circu-
lation on the 30th of June was 116,808/.
The Continental advices report that at Amsterdam,
on the 4th inst., the Funds continued to advance, the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closing at 52k. At Berlin,
on the 3d inst., business in railways was tolerably ani-
mated, but Stocks wero rather drooping. The Vienna
market was lively for home Stocks and Shares, but Fo.
reign Securities were feeble. At Frankfort on the 3d
instant a more animated business was done in Public
Securities.
It is understood that the agreement between the
llonourable East India Company and the two railway
companies—the East Indian and the Great Indian
Peninsula—has been at length definitively concluded,
thus putting the seal upon the Act of Parliament ob-
tained a day or two since.
Notwithstanding the fine weather, the improvement in
the Continental Stock Mat kets, and the general buoyant
feeling, the English Funds continue to rule rather heavy,
chiefly from default of business. Thus if a money sale
or two is pressed, the absence of many of the principal
jobbers from town occasions more difficulty than
usual in effecting the transaction, and without any inhe-
rent weakness, the market is prevented trom rising.

the Three per Cents. 35 to *. Portuguese Four per

and Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52 to 52k.
The Railway Share Market, from about the same
causes as influence stocks, is exceedingly dull. The
splendid weather, in fact, invites most people to leave
where they possiblaty can. Caledonian have been heavy
23} to i; Eastern Countiese at 8i ; and North-
western, at 132 to 132 i. Thew are about Saturday's
prices, or barely so good. South-Western also are
lower, being 35 to 344. The York lines are much the
same, but neglected. Northern ochsFiranFe have im-
proved a little, being 3i discount. arises from the
