it.: very quietly, but with a firm aspect, and prices of7l

!per lb. The Railway Share Market ruled dull.
The final instalments, amounting to 1,050,0001.,
have to be paid to-morrow on the recent loan and
funding of Exchequer Bills. There is, conse-
quently, a good demand for money in Lombard-
street, and at the Bank of England. 5
As was generally anticipated, the market for .
Public Securities exhibits a dull appearance to.
day, in consequence of the thin attendance of deal-
ers and others. Consols for money have been .
steady at 921 to 93, and for account at 931 1.,
The New Three per Cents. are 92i i-, and the Re-'.
duced 9l :1 4. Bank Stock is heavy at 2111. The;;
March ELciiequer Bills are par to 3s. premium, '
land the June ditto 3s. discount to par. 3;
In the Foreign Market business is exceedingly 't
dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. are heavy at 98/ g,
and the 4 per Cents. at 1011. Russian 41 per
Cents. have recoded to 95 and 951 and Sardinian
to 95 and 951. Spanish Deferred Bonds are

The Railway Share Market is inactive and prices 4,
are generally rather flatter. Great Western, Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and South Western are ss.
to 10s. lower. Foreign Shares have been dealt in
to a very limited extent, and the Colonial are

lquieter.
Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares are
generally steady.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale inl
to-day's market. For most kinds the demand ruled in-
active, yet scarcely any change took place in the prices
realised on Monday.
The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive.
Importers were tolerably firm, but we have no alteration
to notice in the quotations.
We had a steady sale for barley and malt, at extreme
currencies. The supplies were limited.
The oat trade was heavy, at Monday's decline.
Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at barely late rates,
