We yesterday drew attention briefly to a matter which
has excited much interest among a most wealthy class
of individuals who are connected with the fur trade.
The result of inquiries made on the subject have fur-
nished us with the following facts:—The common prac-
tice of the Hudson's Bay Company has been from
"time immemorial" to retain goods offered for sale, if
not then bought by customers, until the period when
again the trade is assembled together. A departure
from this rule has just occurred, and the subject is one,
cotsidering the monopoly of the corporation of the
Hudson's Bay Company, which requires something more
than the blunt refusal to answer questions on the part of
the governor, to satisfy public justice. A buyer of beaver
skins for years, sometimes averaging 11,0001. to 12,0001.,
complains that betwixt sale and sale he is undersold by
the broker or other officer of the company itself. He
loses money by finding a competitor in the field who
undersells him. He asks for information from the
governor relative to the fact, and whether such course
was to be followed for the future. The governor (Sir
John Pelly) most politely told Mr. Mayhew, the party
who put the questions, that the Company would not be
dictated to, and that he might bid or walk out
of the room, just as he pleased. It should be
noticed that those remarks were considered rude,
and that the complainant bad in the opinion
of the trade ground of complaint. The sale went oft
very heavily, and no dOubt the future conduct of this
powerful corporation towards its buyers will be marked
with that degree of attention to the interests of the fur
trade which was universally displayed by Vie directors
of the East India Company to their buyers, during the
who!e period of their commercial career.
The papers by the Great Western have just come to
hand. There is little of interest in them.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted
in the Funds this morning. Consols are at 96i for the
Account, and at 968 for cash. The premium upon
Exchequer-bills has receded. Bank Stock is worth 210,
A further improvement has taken place in the Spanish
Bonds to day. The present price for the Five per Cents.
is 271 and for the Three per Cents., 39?-4 For
Mexican Bonds there has been a firm market at 27.
Most of the other Stocks are steady.
In Shares the market is quiet.
