MARKET NE WS.--(THIS DAy.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
We had a fair average supply of English Wheat on offer
to-day. The first qualities were in steady demand, at fully
last week's prices ; but in other kinds very little was
doing. In Foreign Wheat the business doing was trifling,
yet we can notice no alteration in value. The best
Malting barley was in steady request, at full prices. In
other kinds, owing to the extensive supplies offering,
very little was doing. Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas
ruled about stationary.

The places of public resort for business have to-day
resumed their wonted activity, and the question is now
asked in many quarters when the New Royal Exchange
will be opened for the assembling of the merchants and
others. It is feared that some time will yet elapse
before this can take place, as there is still a great deal of
wo.k to be done before the building is fully completed.
The Act of Parliament passed last session for the re-
gistration of Joint-stock Companies, will come into
operation the day after to-morrow. The following are
the principal features of the law :
" Companies existing on the Ist of November must
register their names, purposes, and places of business,
within three months of that day, under a penalty not
exceeding 501.
"Companies to be formed subsequently to the Ist of
November, must obtain a certificate of provisional regis-
tration previously to declaring themselves to the public,
in taking any public step towards formation, under a
penalty of SO!.
" Companies formed subsequently to the passing of
this Act, are subject to its provisions, with respect to all
proceedings after the Ist November, under the penalties
assigned by this Act."
No doubt is entertained that the new law will prove a
wholesome check upon the formation of mere specu-
lative Companies.

The parties concerned in the forgery of Bank of
England notes on the Continent, the discovery of which
recently took place, still have eluded the vigilance of
the officers sent in quest of them. It is stated, however,
that a clue has been obtained to the place of their retreat,
and, no doubt, before they know that the forgery has
been found out, they will be in custody.
The Stock Market is firm. Consols for immediate
transfer have been 991 to par, anti for time par to 1001.
Exchequer Bills have realised 70s. to 725. premium.
Bank Stock has been at 202 to 203. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. were rather better, being 1011
to 102. Long Annuities realise 12 1-16 to 11 15-16.
The Foreign Market is extremely dull. Spanish Bonds
have not been quoted at all this morning. Portuguese
Converted have been sold at 53 to 53k. Dutch Stock has
been scarcely so high as yesterday. The only other quota-
tions are for Brazilian, 85i ; Colombian ex Venezuelan
from 1q- to 14; and Mexican from 34i to 34i.
The Railway Share market has been rather firm to-
day for the principal lines. The settlement in shares
has progressed easily to-day.
