AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGIANCX,

CITY, One o'Clock.
The Stock Markets are flat. The rise in Corn
Yesterday has dissipated the idea of a continues de-
cline until the price reached the quotations of even
last year, high as that was, and there is now a con-
viction that until the arrival of the new Wheat no
further permanent decline is probable, Moreover, it is
thought that after the-recent prolonged upward move-
ment a reaction is likely, and speculators hastening to
realise at the top prices have precipitated the decline.
The funds are ±to lower, and the relapse in foreign
stocks is to the same extent. Railways are heavy,
and Metropolitan and Great Northern are particularly
flat. A large increase in the receipts of the Great
Luxembourg line causes the shares to be firm.

Bonds are f per cent. better.
