tern,-123 ; Ditto Fifths, 23; Liverpool and Manchester, 223;

Much interest continues to be taken in the state of the
grain trade. Fine showers having been experienced in al-
most all the principal parts of the country, speculation in
foreign wheat has been somewhat checked. Still, however,
there is no doubt entertained that the arrivals of foreign
grain before the autumn will be very considerable from the
Continent, as well as from Canada and the United States.
It appears from the accounts received this Morning from
Mauritius that the trade there had been in some degree in-
jured by the apprehension that the bay and corn crops have
been damaged by the long continued drought that has pre-
vaited in many sections of the United Kingdom. Still, for
the autumn trade in British manufactures, considerable ex-
pectations are entertained that there will be a most abundant
demand for cotton and woollen fabrics for exportation. Yarns
have been in fair request of late.
There have not been any accounts from the Colonies this
morning, with the exception of ship- letters, which are of old
dates.
Although there has not been any business of importance
transacted in the funds this morning, a strong tendency to
decline is exhibited in the prices. Consols for the Account
have fallen from 981 to 985, but they have since rallied to
985. A large delivery of stock is expected to-morrow. Re-
duced Three per Cents. have been sold at 995 ; Exchequer
Bills at 735. to 755. premium, and India Bonds 945. premium.
Bank Stock for the Account has been sold at 1985 ; and the
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1025.
The payment of the dividends upon the Spanish Three
per Cents. were commenced this morning, but the market for
this stock is notwithstanding heavy, at 321 5. The Five per
Cents. have fallen from 221 to 221. The half-yearly interest
upon Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., and upon Portuguese
Converted: Bonds, are also in course of liquidation to-day.
Money is easy in the Foreign Market. The Dutch Twe-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been quoted at 601 ex div. • Old Five
per Cents. Portuguese at 804 ; the Colombian ex Venezuelan,
at 131 1; and Mexican at 351 for the Account.
The result of the interview to be had with Sir Robert
Peel and the Directors of the principal Railway Com-
panies, this afternoon, upon the subject of a Bill
now before Parliament, for the future guidance of
establishments of the description referred to in the measure
in question, is looked for with interest. Any attempt to
fetter the managers of the existing lines is held by them in-
consistent with the property they hold, but it is quite another
and a most important question, as far as the public are con-
cerned, that all attempts at monopoly should be checked, and
so it is hoped that the Parliament will, by stringent laws, de-
cide. A good deal of business has. been transacted in the
Share Market this morning, but at prices not differing much
from those of Saturday last.
