MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY..

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a very limited scale; and the show of
samples here to-day was *mall. All kinds, owing to the large
attendance of buyers, moved off steadily, at fully the late
advance in the quotations. Upwards of 12,000 quarters of
Foreign Wheat have come to band this week, yet the trade
was firm, and selected parcels produced I s per quarter more
money, chiefly for export to France. The imports of Barley
have been large, nevertheless the trade was very firm at ex-
treme currencies. The transactions in Malt were trifling, at
about stationary prices. Nearly 30,000 quarters of Foreign
Oats were on show. The best qualities sold freely; other
kinds slowly at late rates. In Beaus, Peas, and Flour no
alteration took C.ace.

Although the supply of Beasts here, this morning, was
seasonably extensive, the Beef trade was firm, and, in some
instances, the quotations were a trifle higher than on Mon-
day—most of the primest Scots producing 41 101 per B.bs.
There were on offer 320 Oxen and Cows, 430 Sheep, and the
large number of 134 Calves from Holland and Germany.
With Sheep we were fairly supplied, while the Mutton
trade was steady, at very full prices. From the Isle of
Wight, 300 Lambs came to hand, and the receipts of that
description of stock from other quarters were good. All
kinds sold freely, at extreme currencies. In Calves,
a full average amount of business, was doing, at late
rates. Pigs were quite as dear, with a steady demand. Milch
Cows were selling at front 161 to 191 5s each, including their
small Calf.

• MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady myket for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales 4,000 bales, without change in prices, including
3,500 bales of American at 6d. to 7%d. per lb. There was
a better feeling in the Share-market, owing to the bankers
discounting snore freely.
, Much interest, and indeed some little excitement, was ma-
nifested in mercantile walks, upon the fact of the Boston
steamer having arrived off Holyhead becoming known, and
all were on the q'si rive to learn the rate of exchange at New
York, and the state of the grain market. Had the letters
and papers reached town sufficiently early, the market
would no doubt have been affected in Mark-lane, but in the
interim business proceeded quietly, and Monday's rates were
supported, foreign qualities being even a shade dearer, in the
absence of any extensive demand, and despite the very fair
arrivals Iv ithi❑ the last two or three days. Wheat seems
now to be the scarcest article, and therefne it becomes of
importance that consumers should turn their attention in
some measure to rye, Indian corn, /cc., as partial substitutes.
Thi-, with economy, would assist in clearing out the supplies,
and much, also, will be saved by even the moderate use of
sugar in distilleries. The exchange comes higher from
New York, but for other particulars, as we have
not yet had an opportunity of seeing private letters from
America, we must refer our readers to another part of
The Sun.
Although money has been rather dearer in the Stock Ex-
change, arising from the payment in advance of instalments
upon the Loan, and which have been made, it is said, to
some extent, there is certainly rather more ease in the dis-
count market, and there has been accommodation rather
more liberally granted, despite some difficulty which has arisen
in the payment of acceptances by one or two houses. In-
dulgence in the present state of affairs may well be needed,
and to the fullest possible extent, no doubt, will be
granted too.
The Funds are influenced temporarily by the Loan pay-
ments, but Exchequer-bills have been made most
available for the purpose. The allowance of in-
creased interest or discount upon prompt or full
payments of the deposits upon the Eight Million Loan,
in some degree, and without doubt, if such payments be ex-
tensively made, tend to check the advantages intended by
the advancement of the interest upon the Unfunded Debt,
though unquestionably it must place the Treasury in a more
wholesome condition. It may be questioned whether capi-
talists, considering the present value of money, will pay ex-
tensively upon the scrip until matters become more settled.
Consols have alternated from 86% to 8718 for present
transfer, and from 8718 to 87% for account. Exct quer-
bills have realised par to Is. premium. The New Three-
and- a-Quarter per Cents. arc 87% to 871 A.
The Foreign investments have been very little dealt in.
Spanish Three. per Cents. are 34 to 34%; Mexican have
touched 20 to 201/8 ; Brazilian are steady at 83; and Dutch
Four per Cents. are 8734.
Railway Shares are rather better supported, wills less stock
pressing for sale.
