Accounts from Hobart Town, of March 13, state that
new wheat was worth 4s. 9d. to ss. per bushel, and fine
flour 121. per ton.
A larger number of sales are in progress in the Co-
lonial markets, but the fall in the prices of various arti-
cles has been so marked recently, that there is but little
spirit to do business except for immediate wants. All
holders of sugar, and rice especially, must be severe
losers.

The Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have inti-
mated that the surplus amount of income over expendi-
ture available in the current quarter is 694,9121. l6s. I Id.,
and that, consequently, there will be 670,000/. invested
in Deficiency Bills, and the rest in stock. We are glad
to find Sir C. Wood pursuing the wise policy of the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is manifestly in the
highest degree absurd to redeem stock on which the Go-
vernment pays but 3 or 31 per cent., while it has inte-
rest to liquidate on Exchequer-bills at a far higher
rate, to say nothing of the importance of being inde-
pendent of the Bank of England.

The Funds have been rather heavy again. Consols
are 884 to 89 for transfer, and 88-,7,- to 89. The state of
the account influences the market still, but there is not
much speculation. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 91 to 914. Bank Stock is at 196 i.
Exchequer-bills have been at 9s. to 13s. premium.
The Foreign Investments have been better, and the
speeches in Parliament respecting the Spanish debt
have caused some improvement in the quotations of the
bonds. The Five per Cents. have been 214 to 1, and
the Three per Cents. 33 to 33k. Portuguese Four per
Cents, are 31i. Mexican Bonds are 19i to 1. Russian
Stock is at 111 i; and Dutch Four per Cents. 90.
The Share market is dull, but North Staffords have
improved upon the highly satisfactory report made to
the proprietors at the meeting. South Yorkshire and
Goole are in some request.
