CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday. The sales were 7,000 bales, and included
6,000 American, 200 Egypti in at 61.1. to 7d., 400 Surat
at 41. to 4,71 d., and 70 Sea Island at 111 i. to Is. 23. per
lb.—Railway Shares were dull, with but little business
doing.
In Mark-lane to day the grain trade has been dull and
at lower rates.
Numerous foreign mails will be dispatched from Lon-
don this week, including letter bags for the Brazils,
Madeira, Sierra Leone, and the Cape de Verde Islands,
Valparaiso, the United States, Sz.c.
The reports of the Stock Markets abroad give the
latest quotation of Austrian Bonds at Frankfurt at 841,
and of the Metalliques at,Vienna at 931. The Prussian
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at Berlin were 87k. The
Amsterdam market was brisk for Dutch Two- and-a.
Ralf per Cents, at 53 15-16.
The steamer from America is telegraphed as having
arr!ved off Liverpool this morning, but her letters are
not expected in town until to-morrow.
The continental advises have been received in due
course. At Hamburgh, last Friday, the rate of exchange
On London was steady at 13 91, and the price of gold
was 436. There was an active demand for Bills of Ex-
change on Petersburgh ; funds and shares were tolerably
firm• The general trade of Hamburgh appears to be
improving.
It is mentioned as a subject of complaint, in accounts
from St. Putersburgh, that not only English but likewise
other ships for the North Sea, were becoming continually
scarcer, and that freights were daily rising in consequence.
Neverthele,s, all articles of produce maintained their
value very fairly.
The Lombardian Government has announced a re-
duction in the duty upon wino imported. It may be
remembered that this was raised in April, 1846.
A statement of the foreign commerce of Belgium
during the first seven months of 1849, shows compari-
tively with the like period of 1848, a decline in various
articles imported, wool, tobacco, cotton, and silk fabrics,
being, however, an exception. The exports generally
Were larger.
At the thirteenth annual general meeting of the
Coventry Union Banking Company the report of the
directors and the balance sheet of the affairs to the 30th
of June last were read, and the proprietors expressed
their lull satisfaction at the progress of the bank. The
net balance of profit for the year was about 3,8001.,
which, after paying a dividend of five per cent., left a
surplus of nearly 2,000/.
There has been a better market for the English Se-
curities, and with some increase of money business.
Consols have realised 921 to 1 for Transfer to-morrow,
and 921 # for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 934 and the Three per Cents.
921• Bank Stock is worth 199 to 1991, being firmer.
Exchequer-bills have been marked 393. to 425. premium,
and India Bonds 755. premium. There is no news this
morning calculated to act on prices.
The Foreign Securities are for the most part at rather
full prices, although very little is doing. Portuguese
Old Five per Cents. have been 814, but these, we believe,
are guaranteed by Brazil. Spanish Three per Cent.
Stock has been 344, and the Five per Cent. 18i to 1.
Mexican Bonds have been 28 to k, and Peruvian have
touched 55 and 55i. Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents.
have realised 54 to 541.
The Share Market is extremely heavy again for all
the principal Railways, and sales can only be effected at
farther reduced rates.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN- EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Notwithstanding that the weather has ben showery
during the last two or three days, very great progress
has been made in the cutting and carrying of Wheat.
The produce of the crops is represented as large. The
country markets, held on Saturday, were in a depressed
state for all kinds of grain, which were again lower to
purchase. Our letters from the near continental ports
state that most articles are falling in value. As yet we
have received no supplies from the Baltic; but large
quantities of Wheat are now close at hand from Dant-
zig. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last
week were good—those of other articles of home produce
small. The foreign imports amounted to 11,922 quarters
of Wheat; 4,233 ditto of Barley; 24,282 ditto of Oats;
81 ditto of Beans; 349 ditto of Peas; 8 ditto of Tares;
55 ditto of Rapeseed; 27 ditto of Mustard Seed; 66
ditto of sundry Seeds; and 1,864 sacks of Flour, from
France, made from the present year's crop of Wheat.
Fresh up for this morning's market by land carriage, the
arrivals of new Wheat of home produce were seasonably
good, but its general quality was by.no means so fine as
was that exhibited on Monday last. Coastwise, the re-
ceipts were but moderate, especially from Essex. The
show of samples, nearly the whole of which were new,
was considerably in excess of the immediate wants of
the millers, and the demand for all kinds of English
Wheat was in a very depressed state, at a further decline
in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. At the
close of the market quite one• fourth of the supply re-
mained undisposed ot. With foreign Wheat we were
tolerably well, but not to say largely supplied. A few
selected parcels were in' some instances disposed of
at about stationary prices, but all other kinds
ruled heavy, at is to 2s per qnarter beneath
last week's currencies. The prospect of early and large
arrivals from the Baltic tended to depress the market.
Some of the importers were compelled to land, and
floating cargoes were entirely neglected. Offers for the
delivery of Wheat continue to arrive from most of our
agricultural districts. The few samplss of new English
Barley on offer sold steadily, at full prices. With Fo-
reign Barley we were fairly supplied, while the demand
for that article was heavy, and inferior grinding parcels
were somewhat lower to purchase. Although the quan-
tity of Malt on offer was comparatively small, the trade
ruled exceedingly flat; so much so, indeed, that it was
difficult to ascertain the exact value of thevarious qualities.
The quantity of home-grown Oats on sale was trifling;
that of foreign somewhat extensive. Fine fresh corn
sold at full prices. In the damp and otherwise out-of-
condition parcels, very little business was transacted, at
barely late rates. We have no change to notice in the
value of Beans, the transactions in which were trifling.
All kinds of Peas moved off slowly at last week's quota-
tions. Flour was lower to purchase by from is. to 2s.
per sack, and Is. per barrel. In Indian Corn and Meal,
nothing doing.

SEED MARKET.

A considerable fall has taken place in the value of
new Canary Seed since our last report. To-day that
article was offering at 90s to 100 s per quarter, without
finding buyers. New white and brown Mustard Seed is
lower to purchase. Tares and Rapeseed have a down-
ward tendency. In cakes scarcely any business is doing.
The stork of Clover seed in bond is about 40,000 cwts.

SMITHFIELD.
The imports of foreign stock into the metropolis last
week were seasonably good, and of full average quality.
The low prices alone prevent a very large increase in the
supplies from abroad, where, we learn, they are very
extensive.

The most striking fact in connexion with these re-
turns is the steady increase in the imports of pigs.
At the outports the arrivals of foreign stock have some•
what exceeded 2,000 head, mostly from France and
Holland. Fresh up for this morning's market, the re-
ceipts of beasts from our principal grazing districts
were again seasonably extensive; and the number of
that description of stock on offer from abroad was large.
Although the dead markets were well cleared of their
last week's supply the Beef trade here to-day was exces-
sively heavy, at barely last Monday's decline in the
quotations. The highest figure for Beef was only 3s 8d
per Blbs, and at which a clearance was not effected. From
the northern counties we received about 1,100 short
horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire, 900 Scots and short horns ; from the western and
midland districts, 450 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.;
from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds;
and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots.
There was a slight falling off in the numbers of Sheep
compared with those exhibited on this day se'nnight.
On the whole we had a slight improvement in the de-
mand for most breeds of sheep, in the prices of which,
however, we have no advance to notice. The primest
old Downs were selling at 3s 10d per 81bs. The
" season " for Lamb is now rapidly drawing to a close.
The supply to-day was tolerably good, and a fair amount
of business was transacted, at full prices. With Calves
we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied.
The Veal trade was again dull, at unaltered quotations.
Pigs, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly, at
barely stationary prices.
