MARKETS.

FRIDAY, JUNE 13, SIX P.M.
The Stock Market was rather depressed to-day. Quota-

the transactions were more limited than usual. Reading
Railroad declined 2 per cent., but improvod at the close.
Erie Railroad closed IA per cent. lower. Canton Company

rent yesterday. Norwich and Harlem were firm, and were
in demand at the close. There was no change at the second

CITY TRADR REPORT.
Ashes continued in active demand, and with a firm mar-
ket. There were sales of 200 bbls.—pearls at 5 dolls. 50c.,
and pots at 5 dolls.

Bieadstuffs—We noticed more activity in the flour mar-
ket, but without improvement in rates, which, owing to the
large quantity arriving, favoured purchasers.
( otton - The market had less firmness to-day, and the
sales, which were about 1,000 bales, were at prices about
ic. lower than yesterday, on all except strictly fair style's,
which, however, could not be sold as readily as before.
Dry Goods—The transactions in the dry goods trade are
diminishing daily, and do not aggregate any heavy amount;
and with the absence of demand there is an anxiety to sell,
and an extent of stock, which render prices very heavy.
Few articles are steady.
Freights—Most of the vessels on for Liverpool were full,
as far as grain was concerned. Cotton was nominal at 5-32 d.,
and grain 4i(l. to sd. Some British vessels were about being
taken up for corn at 4icl. Flour was engaged at Is. 3d. To
London, 1,000 brls. naval stores were taken at 2s. per 2801 b.,
and 2,000 brls. flour at 21. There was rather more offering
for California, and clippers were getting 50c. to 60c. per foot
measurement. To Havre, cotton was ic.
Tobacco has been in pretty good request this week, with-
out creating any particular change in rates. The operations
consist of 450 hhds. Kentucky (part of which was shipped
for Europe from first hands), at 6c. to 13c. ; 15 ditto Mary-
land, at 6c. to 6ic. ; 92 bales Havannah, part at 30c. to 61ic. ;
22 cases Florida, at 121 i c. to 17c.; 4 ditto Pennsylvania, at
18c. ; and 132 bales Baracoa, at private contract.
Wool The sales we have to report show a still further
reduction of prices of American qualities; and in foreign
there is nothing to report in the way of sales. It is the
well-grounded opinion of traders that prices will recede
considerably below their present standard. Sales have been
made of 15,0001 b. low grade fleece, at 36c. to 38c.;
10,000 lb. miudling, at 40c. to 42c. ; 5,0001 b. extra pulled, at
38c. to 40c. ; 10,0001 b. superior, at 36c. to 37c. ; 10,000 lb.

THE BAND AT KENSINGTON-GARDENS.—The locale
selected for the performance of the bacd of the Horse
Guards in these gardens, this season, is abutting on the nevr
equestrian ride, in order to afford equestrians the opp9rtu-

and confusion which would have arisen if it had taken place
on the usual :site, in consequence of its contiguity to the
Crystal Palace. The band plays on Tuesdays and Fridays
at the usual hour.
