CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were again
large—about 700 bags—of which 1,000 were taken on specu-
lation. Prices were firmly supported.
There are no arrival, in the City to-day, and the state of
matte's generally is very quiet.
The Funds have not rallied from yesterday's quotations,
and except in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which
have been marked 96% %, there has not been much doing.
Consols are 95% 3/4 for present transfer, and 96 for time,
though almost nominal. Bank Stock has been Arm at 205
to 206. Exchequer-bills have teen marked 19s. to 235. prem.
The Foreign Stocks have been for the most part a shade
lower than yesterday, but we can quote no decided alteration.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25, and the Three per Cents.
about 36% 1,4. Mexican are flat at 3114, and Brazilian at
811,! to 82. French Five per Cents. are 119 25, with the
exchange at 25 80. Russian Bonds are 111.
The Share Market has been dull, and the chief business out
of doors has been in buying up scrip where there is a chance
of receiving back more of the deposit than will cover the
amcunt laid out in the purchase.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, during the
present week, hare been considerably on the increase ; yet, as
nearly the whole of the parcels from Lincolnshire have gone direct to
the millers, the show of samples of that article here to-day, was
small ; still, however, the demand was in a sluggish state, at barely
Monday's prices. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat
have come to hand, and been landed in bond. So little was doing in
it, free as well as under lock, that the quotations were almost no-
minal. Barley and Malt, though in short supply, were excessively
dull, and prices had a downward tendency. From all parts, the re-
ceipts of Oats were very small, owing to which, the Oat trade was
firm, at an advance in the quotations, of quite 6,1 per quarter. Beans
were a dull sale; but Peas were quite as dear. In Flour next to no-
thing was doing.

Notwithstanding the supply of beasts on sale was but moderate,
the demand for that description ofstock was in a very sluggish state,
yet prices were supported. There were in the market 35 Oxen and
Cows, together with 40 Sheep, front Holland, as also 110 Scots; by
sea from Aberdeen. The numbers of Sheep were again ;limited,
other kinds suffered a decline of 2d per
while the Mutton trade ruled firm, at fully previous quotations.
From the Isle of Wight 144 Lambs came to hand per railway. Prime
Essex qualities moved off steadily at full prites, but the value of
supply and sluggish demand, at late rates. In Pigs very little was
Blbs. Calves were in short
doing, yet prices were maintained. ankh Cows dull, at from 161. to
181. each, including
the small calf.

'uTcRERB' CHARITABLE I NSTIT UTION.—On Thurs-
dayfriends of the above Institution took place at the Free-
masons' Tavern, Mr. J. Sharp in the chair, for the purpose
a special general meeting of the members and
, that,
'
of confirming resolutions passed at a previous special meeting.
The chief objects under discussion were as to whether the
fancy fair, on the 30th of June and Ist of July, should be
held at Walham-green (the almshouses) or at the Zoolo-
gical gardens, as last year. The latter place, it was deemed
by many, would be most profitable ; but, cn the other
hand, it was considered
the asylum at Walham-green, many subscribers were
gained. The by inducing parties to visit
question having been put to the vote, it
of hands, that the fancy fair for this
year should take place at the Almshouse=, at Walham-green.
Some other routine business having been disposed or, the
meeting broke up.
