CITY, Q UV: TER TO TIII?EE.
There wea a steady market for Catton at Livepool
yesterday; the salas were cstiinatsd at about-8,000 bales,
including 2,000 American, for expert and on spectilation.
Prices remain with alteration.—The tna"ket for Railway
Shares was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency.
The corn trade is dull to-day.
It is curious that, despite the splendid character of
the present harvest weather, there arc doubts of the yield
of wheat being more than an average. Whether this view
be correct we are unaide to say, but it is so stated in
communications from hens, and bkewise from Norfolk,
as the following extract, dated Norwich, will show:--
" Trade is mach : s usu tl, the present price of corn
being in its favour, but I wear that next year we shall see
it otherwise, for I never knew a late harvest, particularly
with such weather—heavy mildewing weather—as we
have here now, and have had for a considerable time, to
be otherwise than deficient. I have watched the grow-
ing crops closely, and notwithstanding the general asser-
tion that the crops are looking well, yet from my own
observation, confirmed as it is by the opinion of many
practical men with whom I have conversed on the sub-
ject, I am quite convinced that the quantity of wheat to
go to market, from the present growing crop, will be
below an average. I think far below, but I won't say
so—and the quality, if even we should get quantity,
must be bad. The root crops promise well, at d in no
way warrant the advance in Oilcake and Linseed.
Our Grain Market hero is heavy, but good Wheat
cannot- be bought at lower figures. The farmers
have none, neither have the millers or mer-
chants. We have lately had a few parcels of foreign
wheat into Yarmouth, which have been eagerly taken
by the trade, to prepare them for harvest and the new
wheats."

We shall have in any case plentiful supplies of foreign
grai❑ to moderate prices a little, though our farmers
will probably se•e the fallacy of apprehending very low
prices.

Tte Continental advises received to-day state
that at Amsterdam, on the 6th instant, the Two-
and•a- [Tall per Cents. wero 52i, and at Vienna
on the 3d the Five per Cents, were 931- to %. The
Paris Thurso improved at the opening, but receded
a little subsequently, although the Sardinian question is
now positively reported to be finally settled. The truth
appears to be, that at Paris, as here, business is exceed-
ingly dull, and this is the main cause of the existing
flatness.

Her Majesty's ship Calypso, which left Valparaiso on
the 28th may, for Rio and England, has in bullion
2,850,000 dollars on board.
The English Funds have been lower this morning,
both for money and account, and it is manifest that
prties are anxious to leave town without leaving any-
thing " open." Consols have been 92k 4, and are now

premium.

The Foreign market shares in part the flatness of
home securities. Spanish Three per Cents. are 341 I,
and the Five per Cents. 18i to 19. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been 284 to 29i. Brazilian Stock ia
85f, end Buenos Ayres 51 to 52k. Mexican is steady

and Belgian Two-and-a-Half p n. Cents. 47.
The railway companies that are inviting loans are the
following:—

"Great Western—Loans on debentures, at four per
cent., for three years, or at four-and-a-half per cent.,
for se=ven or ten years. Manchester, Sheffield and
Lincolnshire—Loans on debentures, in sums of not less
than 5001., for periods of three or more years, not
exceeding seven, at five per cent. per annum. Whit?-
haven and Furness—Loans en mortgage or bonds, in
such sums as may be agreed on, with interest, at
the rue of five per ceii. per annum, and for terms
of not less than three, or more than seven years.
kVaterford and Limerick—Loans on debentures, in sums
of not less than 200/., at five per cent, per annum, and for

500/. Chester and Holyhead—Loans on debentures,

per cent. per annum. York and North Midland—Loans
on debentures, fur a term of three or five years, in sums
of not less than 1,000/, at a rate of interest not exceed-
ing 4i per cent. per annum."
The Railway Share Market continues flat, and, as far
as we can learn, without any ascertainable cause beyond
the paucity of business. The report certainly is that
some of the great companies will announce at the next
meetings a probable future reduction of dividends, but
this may be mere hearsay. East Indians are still in
favour, being 4to 44. Aberdeen are firmer, and Pans
and Rouen also.
