MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-WEDNESDAY
Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has reached us
since Monday; hence the show of samples here to-day was
rather limited. The finest qualities of both red and white
commanded a deadv sale, at full rates of currency. In other
kinds comparatively little business was transacted. Free
foreign Wheat was in fair request, and previous quotations
were well supported. For corn, under lock, there was more
inquiry, and prices bad an upward tendency. The sales for all
kinds ofßarley were firm,but we can notice no alteration in value
Superfine Malt moved off steadily; other kinds slowly, at
late rates. The Oat trade was very firm, at fully the advance
noticed last week. Beans, Peas, and Flour, were more in
request, and the turn dearer.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were rather
limited, and did not exceed 1,000 bales. The market was
quiet and prices were steady. The Share Market was very
heavy, and prices in some instances much lower.

The Times may take credit for its advice to the public not
to engage in speculative railway schemes; and the, advice
is really goad. And so have we, under this head, done the
same on many occasions before our Morning Contemporary
took up the question. But there is a point which the " City
Correspondent" of the Times puts forward, to the prejudice of
an extension of the railways, which is hot warranted by facts.
The deposits upon allotments already closed have been made,
and without que-tion the caution-money, as the term is, is
ready for banding over to the Accountant-General upon
nineteen out of every twenty of the projects started some
time back. To assume that the private and joint-stock
banks have been recklessly advancing money upon scrips
deposited with them, and that, when pay-day comes,
there will be difficulties, is a position which will not be
realised. As the deposits upon the principal companies for
new railways that, are likely to pass the standing orders
are already made,: it is not anticipated that any other
severe • pressure upon the Money Market will be expe-
rienced than which may, to a limited extent, be said to be felt
now.

The letter of Mr. Charles Pearson to the Chair-
man of the Committee of City Lands on the sub-
ject, and in - approval of termini being formed for
the Direct Manchester and the London and Birming-
ham Railways, in Farringdon-street, and which
appeared in The Sun of last evening, has been a subject of
very general conve,sation in " City circles" this morning.
Mr. Pearson most truly and correctly asks those connected
with the Corporation to " look at home," and improve, by all
means is their power, the interests of those who gave them
power and influence, whether as Aldermen or Common Coun-
' cilmen, and not be so lavish in lending their names to ad-
vance railway and other schemes, which, in many instances,
if carried out, must tend to damage the interests " of the
City of London and the trade thereof." The admonition of
the "City Solicitor" is considered by most reflective people
to be exceedingly well timed.
There are Graham's Town papers, at the North and South
American CoiThe-house this morning, to the 25th August last.
The Kafirs continue their depradations upon farmers, and a
general meeting had been held, at which resolutions were
passed, claiming further protection from the Government. It
ought to be mentioned that the chief of the Kafir tribe com-
pelled restitution to be made when the robbers were traced,
or the cattle, &c., identified. The markets in Graham's Town
were brisk.
The Cousol Market has been rather firm to-day. Money
stock is less plentiful, and the Bear party apparently indis-
posed to operate further. Consols for Money have ruled from
97% to 97%, and for the Account from 97% to 97%. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills has been rather steady at
425. to 455., and India Bonds have advanced to 595. premium.
The Reduced Three-per-Cents. have rallied a fraction. Bank
Stock has advanced from 205% to 207, and the Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 98% to 98%.
In the Foreign Stocks the transactions continue to be very
trifling. Spanish Stock has fallen from 261% to 253/4 for the
Actives, and the Deferred to 15%; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. opened at 58% %, and have since receded to 58.
Old Portuguese are quoted at 51. Mexican met with a heavy
sale at 315 A ; and the Equador Stock, at 44.
Great caution is shown in the Railway Sbare market in
entertaining bargains in any but the best shares or scrips.
All doubtful projects will soon be at zero.
