MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.
Fresh up, we received a fair supply of English Wheat from
Essex and Kent. The finest parcels sold readily at prices
quite equal to those obtained on Monday last. The middling
and inferior kinds at late rates. For fine foreign Wheat last
week's prices were supported in every instance. In Grain
under lock, the rates are nominal. Barley at prices quite
equal to those obtained last week. The best potatoe qualities
of Oats were held at 6d per quarter more money, the value
of other kinds being firmly maintained. Beans and Peas
had an upward tendency. Flour produced very full prices.

The primest Beef, Mutton, and Veal have commanded a
trifle more money—the value of other descriptions being sup-
ported. In addition to the arrivals below, about 500 carcases
of Lamb, and 800 hind quarters of Mutton, have come to
hand from various parts, per railway.

BOROUGH AND SPITALTIELDS.
The arrivals of Potatoes having exceeded the demand since
our last; holders have in some instances been compelled to
submit to lower rates to effect sales, while most of the in-
ferior qualities have been housed. From Belgium, Holland,
and Ireland, nearly 700 tons have been received, and held at
from 40s to 45s per ton, their quality being very inferior.
WOOL IVIARHET.
During the past week the imports of Foreign and Colonial
Wool have not exceeded 800 packages. By private contract
very little business is doing, yet prices may be, considered
about stationary.
BOROUGH HOP MARZZT.
The accounts from the plantations are by no means favour-
able to the young bine, yet the trade here for all kinds of
Hops is in a sluggish state
ALL, at last week's prices.
TOW.

The market continues in that same dull state as it has
been for some time past, with little variation in prices, there

being no speculative business doing, and the trade buying
I sparingly. The Hamburgh mail arrived this morning, but
the letters were not delivered sufficiently early for our report.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a continued good demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday, at firm rates,—sales about 6,000 bales, in-
eluding 1,000 on speculation.—There was less done in shares,
Dover being the exception, as for them there was a good de-
mand. French shares were rather better.

It is much to be regretted that the commercial letters re-
ceived from the Brazils do not hold out any sanguine expec
tation from the new treaty between this country and the
Ministers of the Emperor. Nor can any favourable arrange-
ment be made, as is stated, until the Government of this
country makes concessions as to the sugar duties, so as to
embrace the produce of the Brazils, and the admission of the
staple for home consumption at a reduced rate of duty.
The accounts and advices from India and China are not of
much importance, if we except the fact that the markets
were generally overstocked with British manufactures.
We have accounts to Feb. 23, from the Cape of Good Hope,
but being only a day later, they furnish nothing of particu-
lar interest. The exchange on London, at 30 days was 21
per cent. premium.
The Funds have been a shade better to-day, but there is
only a limited business doing. Consols for transfer have
realised 99* to 1. and for Time 99i to 1. Exchequer Bills
are at the high premium of 755. to 775. East India Stock'
nominally supports the rally upon the previous depression,
the appointment of Sir Henry Hardinge being looked (Ton as
satisfactory. Bank Stock has been marked 1951 to 196. The
New Three-and-a Half per Cents. have obtained 1021 to
1021 ; the Reduced, 1011 to ; and the Three per Cents. 981
to 1. The Commissioners have taken Consols at 991.
The intelligence from Madrid, of the resignation of all the
Spanish Ministers, has led to a fall in the Stock of about
one per cent., the reaction here, however, not being equal to
that in the continental markets. For the Five per Cents.
the quotations have been 231 to 231, and for the Three per
Cents. 341 to 33i. The West India mail being expected to
bring a fair remittance from Mexico, the Stock has im-
proved a little. The Active has been at 351.
and the Deferred at 151. Colombian have been quoted 141 ;
and Peruvian 29, being dull. Danish Bonds are firm at 88,
and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61 to 61i. Ve-
nezuela Deferred have realised 111 to 111.
The market for Railway Shares has been firm, with a
moderate business doing, and we quote Blackwall and South-
Eastern rather higher. National Bank of Ireland Shares are
3/ discount.
