The inquiry for!discount accommodation exhibits
very little variation, the requirements of the mer-
cantile public affording the market a steady supply
of bills, and at present the demand for other pur-
poses is comparatively small. It is expected that
some relief will be created next week by the pay-
ment of the October dividends.

The following remarks with regard to the sup-
plies of Wheat from America, are from Messrs. J.
Travers and Son's weekly circular :—lt appears
that the shipments of Wheat and Flour from
America to the United Kingdom, during the twelve
months ending the Ist of September last, were
nearly twice as great as in 1847, during the Irish
famine. The total in 1847 was only about 2,450,000
quarters, and, on the present occasion, it has been
about 4,800,000, In the former year, however, we
received about 2,200,000 quarters of Indian Corn,
and this year only about 1,500,000. The year be-
fore last was that of the smallest importation of
American Wheat and Flour.• at any time during the
past fifteen years (with the exception of 1848), the
total having been only 103,000 quarters.
The English Stock Market has been very dull
to-day, but increased depression has prevailed in

the 7th inst. At the last moment, however, there
is rather more firmness, the quotations being 921
