MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
A very moderate supply of English Wheat has been
received up to our market this week, and the stands
were scantily supplied with samples of both red and
white. Selected qualities commanded a steady sale, at
prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. The
middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry, at late
rates. Only 3,720 quarters of Foreign Wheat have
come in. This morning the show of samples was good;
nevertheless most descriptions moved off steadily, and
the quotations were well supported in every instance.
We had a better demand for nearly all kinds of Barley,
especially for malting parcels; but we have no actual
improvement to notice in ♦alue. In Malt a fair average
amount of business was doing at full prices. Good '
sound Oats were quite as dear. Other parcels were
neglected. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were
dull in sale. The top price of the best town-made Flour
was 48s. per 2801 b.

IPSWICH CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 24.
We had rather a small supply:of most grain for this
day's market. Wheat was in fair request, and last
week's prices were supported. As most of our maltsters
are getting to work, the demand for Barley was pretty
considerable, and prices improved lc per quarter. Oats
are more in request. Beans and Peas are rather
cheaper. Malt sells more readily. Flour, no variation.

MONEY nod COMA-,EIfCIAI., NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE.
In the Liverpool Cotton Aiarket yesterday the sales
were 3,000 bales at steady prices.
The Railway Share Market was not quite so much
depressed, although business was dull.
The Trent steamer, with the West India mail has
❑ot yet arrived at Southampton, as was frrquently re-
ported yesterday, but was at Ilavannah on the 30th
ult., and is, on account of her detention, not considered
to be overdue.
The following, respecting the British American
fisheries, has reached us from Nova Scotia, and is
cheering :
"We are glad to learn from the columns of the
United Service Gazette, that the importance of these
vast and important sources of wealth has not escaped
the vigilant observation of the present noble and gallant
naval Commander-in Chief on this station. The Earl
of Dundonald has, it appears, made a strung appeal to
the powers that be, at home, relative to the American
fishermen exercising their calling in the proscribed waters
of our flaking grounds. Coming from such a quarter,
we may reasonably expect it to have the desired effect,
and with a spirited co-operation from those who are
most deeply interested, the people of these provinces, we
will once again be put in possession of our inalienable
rights. Decisive and stringent measures on the coast,
coupled with a good inspective law, would speedily
restore our lost vantage ground, and open up to our
own people the finest market in the world fur pickled
fish, the United States. Our fishermen must take heart,
day is about dawning upon them. Once rouse Jonathan
off our grounds, and confine him to his own localities,
and the fishermen of Nova Scotia will have the
supplying of all the market 4 from Maine to
Florida. We can easily do this; for under the present
circumstances, we can build and fit out our vessels for
the fisheries at little more than one-half the cost of the
Americans."

We cannot but join in the hope that our Government
will look to this matter, and especially as the colonists,
with becoming spirit, express their ability to
compete with the Americans. Nova Scotia has suffered
like New Brunswick, most severely from the dullness of
the times, and needs any fair support, quite irrespective
of bolstering protection, that can be afforded.
In Mark-lane to-day Corn is firm, the arrivals being
short.
The important public sales of Indigo having been
brought to a termination, we have been favoured with a
summary thereof, from which we take the following:—
" The sale has gone off with considerable spirit, at,
an improvement upon July prices, evidencing the fa-
vourable position this article would have attained but
for the unfortunate state of affairs on the Continent of
Europe, where two thirds of the quantity delivered are
usually sent. Yet, under all circumstances, the orders
on foreign account have been more numerous than was
expected, and the chief advance obtained has been for
Indigo suitable for, these markets, particularly
or Russia; the home buyers have also bought freely, at
an advance upon previous rates; about the sixth day,
competition somewhat abated, and prices for the finer
qualities went rather easier, which continued with but
little exception to the end. The quantity withdrawn
during the sale has been comparatively small,
and importers required to give but little sup-
port ; the few good and fine Madras offered,
realised a considerable advance; but for the ordinary
descriptions the demand was limited. Kurpah, of good
quality sold well. Compared with July the advance is
4d. per lb. on good and fine shipping sorts, 2d. to 3d.
on ord. and defective, and 4d. _to 6d. per lb. on good and
fine Madras."
The remarks which have appeared in The Sum for
some days past upon the subk•et of railway gambling
have elicited approbation in all impartial circles, and
although it is quite true, as stated in a latter inserted
yesterday, that there are great difficulties in the way of
effecting prompt transfers, the buyers and sellers, re-
siding often at a distance, it is felt that by a little exer-
tion they might be " smoothed" materially. The Com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange and the companies could
do much towards such a desirable object. We hear that
North-Western Stock is scarcer to-day.
The Money Market is looking better to-day,and there
is some reaction upon the heavy tone of feeling lately
existing, and induced as much by speculation as by bona
fide causes. The clear, bright weather generally
has an effect in the Stock Exchange after a
heavy fall in prices, but the aspect of conti-
nental affairs, being more satisfactory and pacific,
exercises most influence on the market. As to the
statements that there is ground to apprehend the expor-
tation of bullion to same extent in payment of foreign
grain, no great importance is due thereto, although the
imports have recently been rather heavy.
Consols opened at 844 and have since been done at
85 for " time," and 85i for present • transfer. There
have been several money purchases, and the discretion
of the public who intend to invest is wisely exercised in
buying when prices rule low. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 84i to 844 and the Three
per Cents. 834 to 84. Bank Stock has toucned 115 and 116.
Exchequer-bills have been 395. to 425. premiam for
those of March being about 2s. higher. India Stock has
been marked 234 to 235.
In the Foreign Market there is very little doing, but
Mexican Stock has been quoted higher, viz., 194 to 194;
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 104 to 101; Brazil
Bonds have been marked 704 to 71 ; Dutch Two-aad-a-
Half per Cents. have been 44i.
The Railway Share Market looks somewhat healthier,
and the 'potations have improved in a few inst.oco..
