There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the receipts of
beasts were very moderate for the time of year; neverthe-
less, owing chiefly to the prevailing hot weather, the de-
mand for all breeds ruled inactive, at prices about equal to
those realised on this day se'nnight. The general top
figure for beef was 4s 6d; but very prime Scots and crosses
realised 4s 8d per 8 lb.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,100 short-horns and crosses;
from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire 900 Scots, short-
horns, and crosses; from other parts of England 200 of
various breeds ; from Scotland 300 Scots and crosses ; and
from Ireland 100 oxen, &c.
We were again well supplied with sheep, most kinds of
which came to hand in fair condition. The mutton trade
was somewhat inactive at last week's currency. The best
old Downs realised 4s 10d per 8 lb.
The show of lambs was tolerably good, and the trade
was inactive at previous quotations, viz., from 4s 8d to 60
per 8 lb.

There was a slow inquiry for calves at last week's cur'
rency. The supply was only moderate.
In pigs scarcely any business was passing, on former
terms.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Very large supplies of home-grown potatoes on sale
these markets in middling condition ; but the imports frol
abroad have suddenly ceased. The demand is heavYy,
from £2 lOs to £3 108 per ton. Very fine samples v.'"
worth £4 to £5 per ten.

WOOL MARKET.

heavy, but we have no change to notice in prices. The
stock of wool in London is now over 100,000 bales.

SEEDS.

A very beautiful specimen of that almost extitio
species of bird, the bustard, was shot on Thursday last 1310
Mr. Connyer, of Devizes, on Salisbury Plain. This ra_..r
avis is the second that has fallen this season before the g.,71
of the same gentleman, both birds being found in the sa''

MONEY MARKET AN.D CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The advices from the various manufacturing dis-
tricts are of a very satisfactory character. The
inquiries for woollen cloths at Leeds have been
brisk, and there has been an increase in the de-
mand for plain cloths for the autumn. At Brad-
ford piece goofs have been in fair request,
and the transactions for the American mar-
kets have increased. At Manchester the
favourable advices received by the last overland
mail have caused greater activity in the market for
goods suitable to the East, and prices have shown
an upward tendency. At Leicester the hosiery
trade continues in a very satisfactory state, most
of the operatives being fully employed. The iron
trade of South Staffordshire has shown symptoms
of improvement, and at Birmingham most depart-
ments of business connected with the town may be
considered in a healthy state. At Sheffield and
Wolverhampton the iron trade generally has ex-
hibited increased animation.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday in-
creased animation was apparent, and between 12,000
and 15,000 bales were sold at extreme prices. The
Railway Share market closed steadily at full quo-
tations.

The Europa has been announced this morning
from the United States, with £70,800 in specie.

The money market remains in the same easy
and quiet state as it presented last week. The
demand is too limited to create the least activity,
and the abundance of the supplies induces dis-
counters to negotiate approved descriptions of
mercantile paper on extremely favourable terms
to those who require assistance.

The imports of gold continue on an extensive
actzle, and although the bullion at the date of the
last Bank of England return showed a larger dimi-
nution than was anticipated, any permanent de-
cline of importance seems improbable. The
exchange at New York is flatter, and the
Supplies from that quarter may shortly fall
eft but the receipts from Australia and
other places, including Mexico, are likely to keep
up the importations at such a point as will satisfy
the requirements of the exporters, and leave us at
present a balance for the national establishment.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Union Bank
of Australia, held to-day—Mr. Cummins in the
chair—a report was presented showing a consider-
able diminution in the profits of the last six months,
but which was partly accounted for by the depres-
sion in trade. The net profits of 1858, however,
amounted to £179,073 15s. 7d., out of which a
dividend was paid at Christmas, and the directors
now declared another of £2 per share for the last
half-year. The report and dividend were agreed
to unanimously.
An active business has been transacted to-day in
the Stock Exchange markets, and they have pre-
sented a very buoyant appearance. A further im-
portant rise has taken place in the funds. Foreign
Stocks have also improved, and the upward move-
ment has extended to the market for Railway
Shares. The prolongation of the armistice to the
15th.of August, and the meeting of the two Em-
perors, strengthen the impression that a peace will
be soon negotiated, and under these circumstances,
with a scarcity of Stock, and an abundance of
Money, no surprise can be felt at the important
change that has suddenly taken place in this de-
partment of business. Consols have been 95a but
they have since reacted to 951 k. Bank Stock has
improved to 222; the New Threes to 95i 968 ; the
Reduced Annuities to 951 96 ; India Loan Scrip to
941 95; and Exchequer Bills are firm at 245. to
278. prem.
Foreign Securities, as already intimated, have
Participated in the increased firmness and activity
....which generally pervade the Stock Exchange
Market, Turkish 6 per Cents., Old, have been at
80 to 82, and the New 68 to 70 ; they are now at
80 to 81, and 68 to 69 respectively. Spanish Bonds
have been dealt in at 421 ; the Deferred, at 314 ;
Russian 41 per Cents., at 97 ; and Dutch 4 per
Cents., at 99. Mexican Stock is rather firmer, at
181 ; Peruvian 4-1-- per Cents. have risen to 89 90 ;
the Uribarren are 80 ; and the 3 per Cents., 621.
Buenos Ayrean, and Brazilian Bonds tend
upwards.

• A moderate degree of activity has prevailed in the
Rail/sly Share Market, and prices have improved,
in &oat' instances, in sympathy with the English
funds,-_( Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, ad-
vanced ss. ; Caledonian, Great Western, North-
Eastern, York and South-Eastern, 10s. ;
Eastern
Counties, 15s. ; and North-Eastern (Berwick), £1
Great Northern have declined about ss. to 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have shown
in-
creased buoyancy. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares
are at lot 101, and the New at 91 10k; Great
Luxembourg, 6 6i ;and Pernambuco, 9.1 10. Grand
Trunk of Canada have advanced to 36: ; East
Indian, to 103; and Great Western of Canada, to
150 ; and Calcutta and South-Eastern are dealt in
at par.

Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are also at slightly advanced rates. Bank of Egypt
have improved 55., and Ottoman Bank os. Lon
don Chartered of Australia and London. Joint-Stock
are at about former values. Peninsular and Ori-
ental Steam have risen 10s., and Red Sea Tele-

TAE REVENUE DEPARTMENTS. The total
amount of the Estimates for the expenses of the Revenue
-Departments—the Customs, Inland Revenue, and Post-
cCee—for the year 1859-60, is £4,739,453, being an increase
of £16,304. compared with 1858-59. The Customs figure
for a 485.?,1qee,
the Inland Revenue for £1,349,864, the Post-
office for £2,051,213, and the superannuations of the three
departments for £481,221. Part of this money has been
voted "on account." The Customs employ 5,871 persons,
the Inland Revenue, 5,439, and the Post-office 24,409
THE FRENCH FLEET.—The Channel squadron
Which it has recently been determined to form is to consist
of 12 liners 10 of which are at Brest and Cherbourg.
This is, I 'believe, independent of the Ocean squadron
which is fitting out at Brest. The St. Louis and Vill de
Paris have just returned to Toulon, and are under orders
to join the Channel squadron. It is stated, with what
foundation I do not pretend to say, that before many weeks
are passed the Brest and Channel squadrons will be able to
form a fleet o' 30 ships of the line, besides the proper pro-
portion of heavy frigates. The greatest activity is displayed
in Toulon dockyard to get ready and launch the two
frigates Invincible and Gloire.—Tnnes Correspondent.
