hence there is a strong desire, that either through Parlia-
mentary or other influence, there may he such a law passed
as to compel the managing committees to Wind up
schemes now considered doubtful of success, or which
(as is the case with too many of them) are
wholly unwarranted to be carried out. Consols fir
Money have fluctuated this morning from 95% to 95% ;
and for the Account from 95% t 096. The lower rates are the
prevailing ones at thepresent time of writing. Exchequer-bills
have fallen to 225. premium. Bank Stock left off on Sa-
turday at 2053', it opened to-day at 204%, and is now at
205%. India Bonds and India Stock are lower, as well as
the Three and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Reduced
annuities.
The Foreign Bonds commanded but little attention to-day.
Spanish Consols for the Account rose at one time to 2514 for
the ♦ccount, and the Three per Cents. are lira. at 363.
One or two bargains have been made in the Three per Cent.
Portuguese Bonds at 57%, and in the Four per Cents. Con-
verted at 58. The Belgian Four. and• a-Halt per Cents. are
steady at 98N, and the Four per Cents. at 92%. Mexican
Stock is heavy at 31%.
A most anxious desire is exhibited among parties con-
nected with new railway projects to have a general " wind
up" of all doubtful projects. To this end much attention is
now principally drawn. We understand that combined
measures are in progress to accomplish this important object.
The demand for scrip and old shares is heavy to-day. The
official list of prices for this morning are annexed.

MARKET NEWS.-(TRIS DAI.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat were somewhat on the increase,
and of very superior quality, compared with the parcels lately on
show. The attendance of millers and others being numerous, se-
lected parcels of both red anl white Wheat of home produce com-
manded a ready sale, at, in some few instances, an improvement in
the quotations obtained on this day se'imight, of about Is per quar-
ter, and at which a good clearance was effected without difficulty.
In the middling and inferior kinds rather more business was trans-
acted, and previous rates were well supported. At the close of the
market most of the mtodling kinds were disposed of. Notwithstand-
ing the large import of foreign Wheat since this day se'nnight, and
the immense stocks in bond, an unusually small quantity, free of
duty, was on salt, to-day. Still, however, the inquiry was by no
means active, though we consider the most selected parcels to have
produced a trifle mote money—say Is per quarter. In bonded Wheats,
owing' to the high rates at which certificates were held,
very little was doing, yet the holders remain very firm.
Although the at rivals of English Barley have beon small, the quan-
tity moirning• was fully adequate to meet the
yfinest malting parcels were a slow
sale

The quality of most of the samples was by no means first-rate. The
shipment of Oats from the principal Irish ports having bean
small for some time past, we had a very limited
quantity on offer this morning; hence the Oat trade was somewhat
active, and the quotations Improved Is. per quarter. The allow of
flee Foraign Beans was somewhat large. All kinds moved of slowly,
at barely late rates. I'eas—the supply of which was small—ruled
steady, at full prices. The Flour trade was in a very inactive state
at previous figures.

SMITHFIELD.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-
day were on the increase, and of very interior quality. Although
the attendance of both town and country buyers was numerous, the
Beef trade was in a very sluggish state. However, the primest Scots,
&c., were mostly disposed ot; at last week's prices ; but most other
„..

kinds suffered a-ffecicie of 2d per Sibs, and much difficulty was ex-
perienced in effecting a clearance. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridge, were received about 1,290 kens, Ileme-breds, and Short-

of various kinds ; and from Scotland, 300 Horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of Sheep were again on the increase, and of unusually
prime quality ; yet the Mutton trade was cocrparatively steady, and
previou4 rates were supported in every instance. From the Isle of
Wight 50 Lambs came to hand per sailway, while the arrivals of that
description of stock from other quarters were moderate. The Lamb
trade was steady at last Monday's currencies. Calves were in short
supply and sluggish inquiry, yet prices were sapported. In Pigs;
very little was doing, at our quotations. A large portion of the
Beasts and Sheep from Norfolk did not arrive hither until past eight
o'clock, arisinz from the delays upon the Eastern Counties Railway.
