The arrivals of wheat at Marseilles in the week
ending. Saturday last were 402,000 hectolitres. During
the month of Juno they amounted to 1,400,000 hec-
tolitres. The stock is now computed at 177,000
Metrical gnintals. It. is stated that a temporary de-
'band from Spain.has sprung up. The French millers
aro alleged to be less disposed than ever to make
Purchases.

, Thedlscussion on the budget in the French Cham-
bers having terminated, the new loan is expected to
be introduced before the close of the month. The
current of opinion is that the loan will be for the
amount originally announced—.£l7,4oo,ooo. Opinion
seems to have settled down that a 4i per cent. stock
is preferable, in the interests of the State, to thirty
Sears obligations, and a 3 per cent. stock to either,
because the bulk of the public debt is in that stock,
atpd it is secured,against conversion. It is suggested
69f. 50c. will be the price, as 70f. is a peace
Price, the same as 68f. is a war price.
