Accounts from the Paris Grain and Flour Mar-
kets state that there has been a further fall in
prices. In flour, although sellers are not inclined
to maintain the prices of last week, which ruled
from 101 f. to 106 f. per sack, still they are anxious
to sell at a reduction for inferior sorts ; consequently
the choice quality of flour is at firm quotations,
While other kinds are lower. Fine flour is bought
by the retailers at 105 f. to 10Gf. per 157 kilos.,
and 2ds and 3Js from 98f. to 101 f. The factors
declared the sales of yesterday to average only 97f.
930. per sack. In the Grain Market, at the open-
ing, wheat was quoted at 50c. and 75. per hectolitre,
and a half less than previous sales, but subsequently
there was a recovery, and bargains were closed at
better rates ; however, the feeling that prices have
a downward tendency was evident. Rye was very
difficult of sale at a slight reduction ; and oats were
offered at 50 centimes per 115 kilos. less for best
sorts, and 1 franc less for inferior, without finding
purchasers.

Intelligence from the Vienna Bourse shows no
Signs of improvement there in the Stock and Money
Markets. The 5 per Cent. Metallies are k lower,
and the 4& Stock is hea►y at 64. Old Bank Shares
are down to 885, and New do. to 90. Shares of
the New Credit Bank are in demand at 215, and
Austrian Railway Shares rule at 193. Exchange
on London 10.50, and on Paris 1291.
Although no decided alteration has occurred in
the condition of the English Stock Market this
Morning the prices marked are rather weaker, and
the speculative transactions are less extensive.
/-'er transfer there have been several transactions
111 Consols at 86k it ; but for the account the
oitiotations have been dull at 86! I, which is about
per cent, under yesterday's closing values. The
New Threes have been 86i to 87i, and the Reduced
86a and 86i. Bank Stock is marked 2051 and 207.
Exchequer Bills have improved 25., viz., to 6s.
and 3s. discount. The New 30 Years' Annuity is
164.

The Foreign Stock Market is tolerably steady,
but the dealings aro contracted. Equador Bonds
are firm at 5, and Mexican at 19k, but Peruvian
Active rule flat at 74i to 741. Portuguese Four
per Cents. are ± higher, namely, 45k. Business
has been transacted in Russian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 851 to 86. Spanish Deferred have
advanced to 211 and 22. Turkish Six per Cents.
are dull at 101 to 801, and the New Scrip at 4/
discount. Dutch Bonds hare slightly receded,
the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 63, and the
Pour per Cents. 94 to 94k.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bondi, 6l 7; Mexican,
19i ; Peruvian, 73 5 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 3;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 45 47 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 95 7 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 85 87 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents., 384 39 ; ditto Deferred, 21/
22 ; ditto Certificates, 4-a ; ditto Passive, 6/ 7.
The English Railway Shares are generally sup-
ported at the highest quotations of yesterday ;
still there is an absence of animation. Foreign
lines are dull, but firm, and East India are with-
out alteration.

In the Miscellaneous Market firmer prices are
current. Joint Stock Bank Shares are firm, and
Mining Shares inactive.
