SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1822.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

During this week the arrivals in Grain in the port of London
amount to 6,200 quarters of Wheat, 3,()00 quarters of Barley,
6,000 quarters of Oats, with 8,700 sacks of Flour; for Wheat
there is scarcely any demand. The millers buy a few picked
samples at Monday's prices, but sales of any other description
cannot be effected, except at a farther depression in price. There
is little Malting Barley on sale, and such is worth 30s. perhaps
31s. per qr. ; only needy Maltsters, how Over, submit to such
high prices. The Distillers do not increase their stocks, and
none of the opulent Maltsters are yet at work. The town de-
mand for Oats is equal to the very scanty supply, and their late
prices are fully maintained. Flour is exceedingly heavy, and
a farther decline ought to take place in this article, if no
advance occurs in Wheat. The price,of Bread is maintained
by the Bakers at 2d. a pound, being at the rate of upwards of
455. a sack for the average price of flour.
In Mincing-lane, the Plantation Sugar Market this week has
been very firm, and the prices are rather dearer. The sales
exceed 3,000 hhds. about 800 of which have been taken on spe-
culation. The certainty that this year's importation will be
considerably under that of last season, is already-sensibly felt
in the market, and prices have the appearance of at least main-
taining their present rates, if an advance does not take place.
The latter, however, is generally expected. Fine this week has
been sold at 70s. a 765.; good at 64. a 685.; middling at 58s. to
635.; and brdwn at 51s. a 565. per cwt. Foreign Sugars are
very steady, but the supplies at market are extremely small.

The Government Contract for Rtm has made the holders
rather more firm, but no sales of any consequence have been
effected.

Coffees are rather dearer. Considerable parcels of good and
fine middling Jamaicas have been brought forward, And sold
readily at 133 a 140. Good.and fine ordinary descriptions may
safely be reckoned 2s. a 3s. dearer than last week. Pimento is
rather lower.' Pine quality, howevez, is still worth 94d. a 941.
per-lb. _ _

Consols for the Settlement this month opened at Bla. and be-
cdming more in demand, they advanced to 81i, and finally
closed at this latter price. So little business is now however
done at the Stock Exchange, that souse of the great jobbers
and- brokers in the .EngliSh funds have applied to the Com-
mittee of that establishment to appropnate a part of their
Exchange, hlready too much crowded, for transacting the
business of the Foreign Securities. Thus the importance of
the transactions in the Foreign Loans has at length forced
itself on the attention of Gentlemen who did not perceive
at first the immense benefits which they would bestow on the
British nation. In a country where the most perfect freedom
should be given to commerce, it is impossible to perceive what
benefit the Foreign 'Brokers could receive from removing the
transactions in the Foreign Funds from the Royal to the Stock
ExChange. On the former their operations attract the universal
attention of the public, whilst the transfers in- the English
Funds-are only known by repl?rt; On the Royal Exchange,
any person may do his own business in them, but if they be re-
moved to the Stock Exchange, brokers must be eniployed, and
those chiefly interested would know • little of ' their opera-
tions. By this removal it would be no difficult matter, as
in the case of the English funds, to , form Juntos of Bulls
and Bears in the different descriptions of Foreign Stocks, and
to play on the public as might best suit the views of either
party. Indeed the facility which the smallness of the amount
of the foreign securities would afford to the capitalist of raising
or depressing any of them, as it might suit his speculation, were
the business in them confined to the Stock Exchange, would
deter any, except subscribers, from .having any transac=
tions in them.. The proprietors of the. Stock Exchange". have
made a monopoly of the. British Funds, for nobody can respec-
tably deal in them unless he be admitted a subscriber. The
Gentlemen who deal in the Foreign Securities have on the Royal
Exchange made all their transactions public, and consequently
challenged inquiry into the correctness of their conduct. A.
great increase of public patronage has been bestowed on them,
which they never would have enjoyed-had they been confined to'
a building into which the public had no admission. Very few
improprieties have yet taken place in any of their transactions ;
but by, a proper understanding with the Gresham Committee,
the names of those who have dishonoured their' characters might
be posted on a black pillar on the Royal Exchange, and being
thus held up, the public would beware of dealing with them.
This evil is, however, more fanciful than real. Few will sell
without knowing something of the' buyer, and to avoid even the
appearance of secresy will be far more important to the general
interest, than any minor grievances which can possibly result
from the admission of a few improper characters to their trans-
actions. Besides, the Bonds themselves are handed over, and
not transferred into a book, as in the case of the business of the
English Funds, and it would consequently be very difficult
to carry on' the transactions in the Foreign Securities in any
private .building.
• An immense deal of business has been done this day in
every description of Foreign Securities, amounting to many
millions,—The Spanish Old Bonds for Cash have again ad-
vanced to 79, and for time they have been done at NI. The
New Bonds have also risen fully Three per Cent. having been
done at 691 for the 15th current. The increasing confidence
which Capitalists repose in the stability of the Liberal Govern-
ment of Spain, and a credited rumour that the New-Spanish
'Loan is to be under the powerful patronage of illr. ROTHS.
tkILD, create the idea,of a still further advance. The New
RUssian Loan is also much inquired after, and the prices dearer.
Colombian Bonds_ have risen Three per Cent. The CongreSs
of this rising State has been summoned to assemble next Janu-
ary, at Santa F 6 de Bogota, and their approval of the PRESI-
DENT'S Contract of this Loan cannot be doubted.

TIIE CHILTERN HUNDREDS.—The Chiltern
Hundreds, so frequently ►mentioned as being ac-
cepted by Members of the House of Commons,
when they 'wish to vacate their seats, are divi-
sions of counties made by King ALFRED, and now
annexed to the Crown, although they still retain
their peculiar Courts. The stewards of these
Courts are appointed by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, and their salaries are twenty shil-
lings per annum. This sum, however, small as it
is, being derived .from an office under the Crown,
is sufficient to disqualify any person who accepts
it, from retaining his, seat, unless re-elected.
Accepting the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun.
dreds, is, therefore, merely a formal manner of
resigning a seat when a Mernher wishes to retire
from Parliament,
