As tne arrivals of produce from every quarter are at present
so large, owing to a change ofwind, business is rather checked,
and buyers feel that they shall have an ample stock from
which to make a selection.

The advices from New York are still satisfactory in refer-
ence to trade, though we apprehend that the high tariff of
the United States is forcing the extension of its domestic
manufactures to the injury, of its own consumers certainly,
but, at the same time, to that of the foreign shipper also.
The Texas annexation affair engrosses still a great deal of
attention, and does not assume a better aspect, although if
Congress should adjourn there may be no more thought of it.
In Canada commerce was active, and the effect of the
amended corn-law will be to send its large supplies, especially
as the season here continues so dry, and of which intimation
can so speedily be` sent across the Atlantic.
We understand that the banking interest have some hopes
of inducing Sir• Robert Peel to take the five years' average
for the circulation. We almost doubt it ; strong as the feel-
ing is becoming against the Premier, not only among traders,
but landholders, the more his measure is discussed.

-'The Public Securities are very quiet, and there is some
flatness in the quotations, owing to the American news.
There is also more demand for money. Bank Stock has been
worth 1981; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have receded
to 104 ; India Stock for Account is 285.
In the Foreign Market there has been also a want of
animation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 22a to 4 ;
and the Three per Cents.; 344 to 3, being tolerably steady.
Mexican have raffia slightly from the depression of yester-
day, being 34 to 4 for the Actives, and 144 for the Deferred.
Buenos Ayres have been quiet at 36. Portuguese Converted
have improved a little, viz. to 464, but are not buoyant.
Dutch Two-and-aLHalf per Cents. have realised 614, and the
Fiie per Cents., 1001 to 4.
There is very little doing in Railway Shares, which have
a tendency to droop. Bristol and Exeter are 9, and Bristol
and Gloucester 163 premium. Birmingham 'have been heavy
again at 1124 to 115 premium. Brighton are steady, and
South-Eastern lower. French lines are not so good.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 12.—There has
been a moderate business done, but prices generally are not
so-firm. London and Birmingham and Grand Junctions are
lower. Bristol and Gloucester 473 ; London and Brighton,
' 474 • Manchester and Birmingham, 574 ; 'Manchester, Bury,
andßossendale, 5 ; Paris and Lyons, 3 9-16 ; Blackburn and
Preston, 44 ; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 2 5-16; Peak
Forest Canal, 41.
