There has been a steady market for Grain this morning,
and with fair sales.

Complaints of dulness are still prevalent in the Colonial
markets, and business. does ,not increase, the sales made
being for immediate consumption. The Board of Trade
Returns for the month to the sth inst. show a:dimished im-
portation of some staples. Dyes and dyeing materials con-
tinue fiat. On the Continent business is as dull as here.
The speculative purchases of tallow last month are estimated
at 25,000 casks of first sort Y. C., and the chief part is
already in the hands of the buyers. The recent letters from
St. Putersburgh confirm the report of a short supply. Less
is expected by one-half from South America, but rather
more from Australia. The supply of home continues good.
Cotton this week is duller.

Advices of February 8, from the Cape of Good Hope, state
that the districts of Cradock and Somerset were in a very
critical position. Large bodies of troops and volunteers'
however, were moving up to their assistance, and forts
White and Cox were expected to be speedily relieved.
Doubts are expressed as to the policy of making the services
of the Zoolus available aganet the Kafirs, as it may teach
them the art of war upon European principles.
At Amsterdam on Wednesday Dutch Stock experienced
very little change. Spanish, however, was sold freely at
lower rates.
Business in the English Stock Market is comparatively
quiet, as the Budget comes on this eve ing, and the quar-
terly revenue returns will be made up tomorrow. The lat-
ter are expected to be tolerably satisfactory. Consols have
been quoted 96% 3/4 for Transfer, and 96% 34 for Account.
Exchequer-bills have realised 545. to 575., and India Bonds
61s. premium.
Foreign Securities have been at about previous rates.
Mexican Bonds are 33% 44, Peruvian 85%, and Brazilian
88. Spanish Five per Cents. are nominally 21% to %. The
arrival of the Mexican mail may be expected in a day or
two. Portuguese Small Bonds are 371,4. Dutch Four per
Cents. are 89% to 90.
Railway Shares have been looking up again, and the fact
of the North-Western, the Midland, and the Great Northern
having compromised their traffic dispute, gives confidence.
Still the public should discriminate. Some lines are yet too
low and others too high.
