MARKET NEWS--(THIS DA`t

CORN EXCHAI GE-MONDAY.

Fresh up, we received rather a limited supply of Wheat
coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. The de-
mand was flat. Fine dry parcels of both red and white
fully supported last week's quotations ; but the value of all
other descriptions was barely maintained. Foreign Wheat at
late rates. The value of corn under lock almost nominal.
Malting qualities of Barley were quite as dear, but grinding
and distilling sorts were in sore instances the turn lower.
Last week's rates for Malt were with difficulty supported.
Oats, Beans, Pease, and Flour as last quoted.

For the primest Scots, Herefords, runts and Devons, we had
a steady demand, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnight ; but, in the middling and inferior kinds, only a
moderate amount of business was transacted, at barely late
rates. The sheep were in good condition. Prime downs and
half.breds fully supported last week's rates; but all other kinds
moved off slowly, and their currencies were barely supported.
Veal advanced quite 2d. per Sibs. Pigs at fully last quotations.

BOROUGH HOP MAKKL2r•
Prices are firmly supported : indeed, many of the holders are
refusing to sell at present rates.
WOOL MARKET.
The demand for most descriptions is inactive at unaltered
quotations.
BOROUGH AND SPITA.LPIELDS.
The best qualities of Potatoes are in request at full prices,
but other kinds are heavy in sale, though not cheaper.
TALLOW.
The weather having been colder in the early part of last
week, has caused an advance in Town Tallow, but this, we
think, is temporary. The price is 4•ls. net cash.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS
CITY, QUARTER l'() T.HRE E.
The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was firm.
Sales, 6,000 bales, including 3,000 en speculation.—Railway
Shares remained good, and had an improved tendency.
Eastern Counties were lot. 13s. ; Edinburgh and Glasgow,
3SL ; Grand Junction, 234 ; Great Western Halves, 70k;
Liverpool and Manchester, '224 ; Birmingham, 242 L ; Ditto,
New Thirds, 42; Paris and Orleans, 34 ; and South Eastern,
New, 351.
There are several arrivals to-day, and we have the nume-
rous West India files of papers together with the
private letters received in the City, on Saturday evening, when
business in general had ceased, though a few of the firms most
interested having received intimation of the expected delivery,
had thoir employes in attendance. We find much of the old
story in these advices, though from Jamaica parties write that
labour was not so scarce, some of the more sterile and "used-
up" plantations having been abandoned as altogether un-
profitable. This is a result that can surprise no one
acquainted with the West Indies, where capital and energy
requires to be diverted to new channels and not to be frittered
away in the old routine of slavery times. The weather in the
greater part of Jamaica was too dry, and the same in Barba-
does, but Trinidad and Demerara fared better. The latter
continues actively to bestir itself in endeavouring to procure
labourers from some quarter or other.
There are advices to-day from Australia also, viz., Sydney,
September 10 inclusive, and Port Philip August 27. The
first session of the Legislative Council had commenced, and
the Governor had delivered a very neat address, devoid of any
crotchets of his own, and in a tone calculated to revive the
drooping spirits of the colonists. Trade continued in a very
bad state, and nothing was doing except for urgent wants.
' Money was still scarce.
From Buenos Ayres there are dates to November 4, when
the Roses party were more sanguine than ever of the capture
of Monte Video, which was described (in intercepted letters
from Madame Rivera, the wife of the President of the Orien-
tal Republic) as in a very straitened position. A ship, arrived
at Havre, brings dates of Nov. when the exchange was
.25i. No treaty negotiations are spoken of.
The funds have been steady at the closing rates of Saturday,
but have not exhibited any buoyancy. '1 he Commissioners for
the Savings Banks, &a., have taken 10,e001. Consols at 97,
which from the smallness of the amount would almost lead to
the inference that their operations are drawing to a close.
Consols have been 97 to 967 i for money and time. Exchequer
Bills continue quiet at 675. to 655. premium; and East
India Bonds under 1,0001. are firm at 82s. premium.
Bank Stock has further advanced 1 to IL per cent., being 191 L
to 194. This arises from the impression respecting the pro-
bable renewal of the charter, to which we adverted in The
per Sun CofenFtrs.

have been steady at 103, and the New at 102 to
[OIL ; Long Annuities are 121 to 12 13-16; and the Three
per Cents. are 974 to L.
There has been rather a lively market fir the Foreign invest-
ments, which, in general, have an upward tendency, The Spanish
Five per Cents. have improved to 224 1, and the Three per
Cents. 3034 to L. A statement has been made that Carasco's
budget, allowing the full interest on all the loans, will ex-
hibit a deficit of only fifty millions of reels, and
that by reducing the interest on the Active Stock,
a surplus to some extent will be obtained. A surplus
in the Spanish revenue would certainly be a wonder.
Portuguese Converted Bonds have been again done as high as
451 to 46. Mexican are 33 to 334, which is an improvement.
