sales of wheat last week in the markets which
reguirete the averages were 95,801 quarters of wheat,
ued 74 856 of barley.
Grew complaints are being made by the merchants
convected with the American provision trade in London
of the difficulty experienced in obtaining a ready safe
f their produce, from the circumstance of the leading
houses in the trade opposing the system of public sales,
whilst in Liverpool the system finds every fevour by
the buyers, and the public re ap all the advantages of the
sane. This argument was strongly adverted to this
day by Me Keeling, if the firm oe Keeling and
llunr, at a public sale of American provisions at Brewer's
Quay, and who appealed to the trade, assuring them
the, in the event of their promising support to pencil:-
cal public sales, on tee same principle as now in exise-
enee at Liverpool, the firm would be backed by several
of the le cling /emetic:its provision houses, who we re
anxious to di stroy the monopoly exercised by a few
firms in London.
Much less Tallow nay be expected to arrive in Lon•
don between this and the 31st May, than arrived either
last 3e ir or the year before, 1,200 casks oily are known
to be on the way to London from Australia; perhaps
5,000 casks will be the outside arrival from all places.
The last ireceunts from Odessa state that there were
only 1,500 to 2,000 casks on the spot ; but that the total
quantity will be much more than at first was expected.
By letters just received from St. Petersburgh we learn
that the market there was flat at 108 Ho., a.m.d. for
Auguse and 112 with 10 Ho. hard money. The quer.-
tey of New Tallow is variously settee from 115,000 to
130,000—probably for a safe calculation it may be stated
for shipment at 150,000 casks, including the quantity
left over the last season; this would make the supply for
1850 much the same as last year.
The St. John's (New Brunswick) Courier gives the
annual account of shipping belonging to that port, and
its out-bay, Miramichi, which has been made up for the
home government, for the year ending 31st December,
1849, Wo learn from the statement, that the number
of now vessels built at St. John's during the past year,
for owners in the United Kingdom, and not registered at
that port, was 12, measuring 5,495 tons ; the number
built and registered during the same period
was 73, measuring 31,279 tons. Tee number
of vessels in existence, as far as can be ascertained, be.
longing to Sr. John's, on the 31st December lust, was 505,
measuring 93,192 tons. As regards the shipping i f
Miramichi, which includes all vessels built on the north
ern shore of the province of New Brunswick, Miraraiehi
being the only registering port in tbat district,
we learn that the number of new ve ssela built there
during 1549 was 21, measuring 6,763 tons. The total
number of vessels owned there on the 31st December,
1849, was 90, measuring 7,464 tons. And as a proof
that the ship-builders at Uses() posts do not anticipate
much injury to their business trom the repeal of the
navigation-laws, we gather from the statements that
there are now in progress cf building in the St. John's
and North Shore districts 66 vessels, averaging in all
34,040 tons.

The English Funds are still firmly supported, in thee
absence of foreign intelligence of any importance.
Consols have been 958 to 96i; the New Three-and-a-

Cents., 96e to 96e. Exchequer-bills have been 555. to
58s. premium, and India Bonds 85s.
The Foreign Securities have been fluctuating. Peru-
vian have rallied in consequence of the intimation that
the Government of the Republic does not require a new
loan, but merely has asked authority from Congress t,
anticipate sums due upon the guano contracts which ex-
pired last year, and which, in the ordinary course, would
not be payable until next June. The Active Bonds
ere quoted 724 to 744, and the Deferred 304 to 318.
Mexican Stock has been marked at 298, and Brazi-
lian 69e, Portuguese Four per Cents. brought 33g, and
Spanish Five per Cents. 17g.
Railway Shares have been further advanced, and with
a steady business doing. Eastern Counties, and the
shares with small amounts paid up, are generally
higher. Great Western have risen about 1, North-
Western 1 to 11, and Midland ie Brighton, South-
Western, and South-Eastern are firm. Foreign shares
are quiet, and there is less doing in mines and banks.
