MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the discount market there is a steady demand
at 2i 3 per cent., and the applications received by
the Bank of England are rather numerous.
At the Bank of England, on Saturday, a with-
drawal of £16,000 took place.
Specie to the amount of £96,674 has arrived by
the Rhone, mail steamer, from the West Indies.
Vine-Chancellor Manus has confirmed the ap-
pointment of Messrs. Cooper, Kemp, and Astley,
as liquidators of the Marseilles Extension Railway
and Land Company, and directed the voluntar3
liquidation to be continued under the supervision of
the Court.
The progress of business in the manufacturing
districts during the past week has been interrupted
by the observance of the Easter holidays. At
Manchester, however, rather higher prices have
been current for cloths and yarns, consequent
11P°11 an advance in cotton at Liverpool, and
some extensive transactions have been reported for
the Indian markets. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown little
change ; there has been a moderate inquiry for sea-
sonable goods, but without material variation in
prices. At Leicester and Nottingham more ac-
tivity has prevailed in the lace and hosiery depart-
ments ; while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and
iyolverhampton the operations have been on a
limited scale, most of the principal departments of
business having been closed for the Easter holidays,
and prices have remained without alteration.

Two o'CLocx.
According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
Y, the the French Rentes were 67f. 90c. Great
agitation.
Business at the Stock Exchange is in a very un-
settled state owing to the varying telegrams from
Paris and Berlin, the fluctuations on the principal
Continental markets, and a fitful species of specula-
tion. The advance induced by the rise in the
Bourse on Saturday has led to sales in realization of
1,1.443) especially as the Rentes are not so firm as
vueY were early this morning. Consols are per
the ent. higher than on Saturday, at 9041 for money and
„, account, and 911 for the June settlement.

MARKETS.--This day.

MARK-LANE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
sca.ntily'supplied with wheat, which moved off steadily, on
rather higher terms. in the value of spring corn and
flour very little change took place.
Throughout the Continent very high prices continue to
be realised for wheat, and most other articles. Tho ship-
ments of produce from America are still limited.

The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon-
don last week amounted to 26,297 quarters of wheat ;
7,083 barley ; 46,280 oats ; 2,295 rye ; 2,170 beans ; 365
peas ; 4,013 rapeseed ; 843 maize ; 320 sundry ; and 725
sacks of flour.

A v,ry limited quantity of Riglish wheat was received
fresh up to-day, coastwise and by laud carriage. The at-
tendance of millers was limited; yet factors demanded an
advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of
from ls. to 2s. per quarter. So little business was trans-
acted, however, that the ris-.! was not supported.
There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on offer. A
few fine parcels changed hands at Is. to 2s. per quarter
more money co:ap•ared with this day se'nuight ; but the
improvement was by no means general.

The inquiry for floating cargoes of grain was steady
at very full prices.

Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but
the supply of foreign was good. The barley trade was
far from active, nevertheless the quotations were well
supported.
Malt was in full average supply and sluggish request,
at late rates.

Although the show of fureign oats was extensive, the
oat trade was steady, and good sound corn was the turn

dearer.

Beans commanded extreme rates, with a moderate
demand. The supply of English was limited.
The transactions in peas were limited. Prices, how-
ever, were well supported.
Both English and foreign flour was held for more
money. Town made advanced 3s. per 2801bs.

Linseed was inactiue, at late rates; but rapeseed com-
manded full prices. Cakes and agricultural seeds were in
full inquiry.
