mint commanding the French squadron off Canton.
In the money market to-day prices have been
=maintained with a certain steadiness, but there has
been no buoyancy in the market, as it was not sup-
Posed that the Bank of England would follow the
example of the Bank of France and reduce the rate
of discount b‘f,pre neit week.
Itt the Paris corn market during the past week
ruoes were firm, without any great amount of
siness being transacted. The four marks were at
first sold at the preceding price of 53fr. the sack of
kilogrames, but they afterwards could fetch
only 52fr. 50c. Inferior qualities varied from 51fr.
to 46fr. Wheat was scarcely asked for, and the
quotations may be set down as unvaried. From
the country markets the accounts speak in general
of lower prices.
