ORDINARY SHARES AND STOI

THE GREAT REFORM DEIYIONSTRA-

TlON.—This Day.

The great Trades' Demonstration in favour of
Reform took place to-day, and as far as we are
enabled to report with great effect. St. James's
park, at eleven o'clock, presented a most exciting
appearance from the vast number of trade societies
which had at that hour assembled. From eleven
o'clock until half-past the great mass was con-
tinually augmenting, and as each procession arrived
from its appointd place of starting, it was marshaled
to its respective positions in the most orderly man-
ner. The Committee of the Reform League were
early in attendance, and as far as the arrangements
were concerned, they appeared to work admirably.
The police gave the utmost support to the executive
committee by keeping the thoroughfares free from
the slightest obstruction, and in many other
ways did all that was favourable to assist the mar-
shals of the immense procession in carrying out
their arrangements. The streets in the line of
route from St. James's Park to Beaufort House,
Old Brompton, presented qUite as extraordinary an
appearance as the parks, the pavement being en-
tirely occupied, and thereby rendered impassable by
the great number of persons who had turned out
to witness the procession. The sale of tickets for
admission into the grounds must have been enor-
mous, because there appeared to be quite as many
persons with them out of the procession as in it.
The wisdom of selling these tickets without any
regard to number, perhaps, may lead to some in-
convenience, especially as those possessing them
seemed all intent upon getting to Beaufort House
prior to the arrival of the procession. The number
of persons forming the procession it would be im-
possible to estimate with anything like correctness,
but previous to its departure from the park it
seemed to fill the entire space as far as the eye
could reach.

Precisely at 12 o'clock, the marshals having com-
pleted their inspection, the procession left the park
by the Marlborough-gate, and proceeded along
Pall-Mall in nearly the following order, certain
alterations having to be made in the published pro-
gramme in consequence of the non-arrival of the
parties expected :

At ten minutes to one the first division turned
into Piccadilly on arriving at the Regent's-circus,
it having occupied nearly one hour in marching
that comparatively short distance. In Pall-mall
the windows of the different club houses were
crowded with spectators, and as the procession
passed the Reform Club the cheering broke
forth from the various Sections composing
it. Nearly each of the respective trades were pre-
ceded by their military bands, whilst the display of
banners was extraordinary. They were of all
colours, sizes, and shapes,and the mottoes not in all
cases being quite applicable to the occasion, but in
a very conspicuous part of the procession one ban-

TheSocietyof Farriers presented a notable feature in
the procession, as each of its members, in addition to
being mounted on very good-conditioned horses,
wore a blue scarf across their shoulder, which gave
quite a dashing appearance to the troupe. The
glass-workers also carried with them some very bril-
liant specimens of their trade, which elicited much
cheering from the spectators. The seamen also
came in for some loud cheering, the ebullition being
caused by the motto on their banner, " Seamen's
Rights and No Surrender."

MARK ET S. —This d%y.

MARK LAN].

The trade for wheat in the country markets hold on Sa-
turday was very inactive, and prices declined is—in some
instances 2s —per qr. Fine barley ruled firm, at hill cur-
rencies ; but inferior produce was dull and rather lower
in prices. Oats, beans, and peas were steady, both in value
and demand. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms.
On the Continent the wheat trade is rather quiet; never-
theless, prices rule firm. The arrivals of wheat and flour
at New York have increased, but the export movement is
still snail.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
only moderato. The condition of the produce was but
middling. Owing to the large arrival of foreign wheat
and flour, and decline in the country markets, the trade for
all qualities ruled heavy, and prices were 2s to 3s per
quarter lower than on this day fortnight. At this reduc-
tion the supply of home-grown produce was disposed of.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
The demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and a decline
of is to 2s per quarter took place in the quotations.
_ _ _ _ _

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, but. at
rather lower prices. . .

Fine barley supported previous rates, but medium and
inferior produce was rather cheaper. The market was
moderately supplied.
There was only a moderate demand for malt at late rates,
About an average business was transacted in flour on
former terms.

Oats were in fair supply. Russian qualities were firm
and the turn higher in price ; but other kinds met a slow
sale at last Monday's currency.
Beans were dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
The market was moderately supplied.
Peas were in fair supply, and slow request, at barely late
rates.

Linseed and rapeseed met a slow sale, at previous quo-
tations.

Cakes were in good demand, at fully the late advance in
prices.
