GUANO.

A great many Guano ships have been reported within
the last few days. It is calculated that, including those
now discharging in different ports, and others on their
way here from St. Helena; there are altogether 200 laden
with this valuable manure, intended for the United King-
dom. 'Besides these, we learn, by the latest accounts
from Ichaboe, that about 450 more were there, and at
the other islands ; and that the facilities for obtaining
cargoes were so much greater that twice the former
number of vessels were enabled to load at one time. In
addition to the quantity expected to arrive, the stocks in
this country hare been accumulating for several months,
especially in the out-ports. •
Under these circumstances, and with no immediate
demand for consumption, there is great difficulty in ob-
taining; previous rates for floatiug cargoes.
So large a supply affords, no doubt, a very pleasing
prospect to the agriculturist, and it is gratifying to know
that present prices are still very remunerative to the
shipowner.

There are not any arrivals in the City this morning'
from the Colonies of later dates than those previous)/
received.
At this season of the year there are numerous trade
circulars, drawn up from official sources, relative to all
the different branches of trade. As the tea trade is one
of prominent importance, and as there is an agitation
in progress in favour of an alteration of the duty to 15'
per lb., the general summary of a circular sent to us q
a well-known broker, will be read with interest. It '
as follows ;-
" The Tea Market throughout the past year has Lint,
been distinguished by any unusual characteristic; tne
improvement which marked its commencement was Junin.
tained by speculative purchases of considerable extent,
until the announcement of the Budget in April, when;
no mention having been made of tea, the principal pe
of these investments was again brought on the merge'
forming with the arrivals, then becoming heavy, a fur
ply more than adequate to the demand; prices of coin:
mon Congou gradually declined, and in the months °`
September and October were depressed to the lowest point'
viz. 9id. to 10d.; towards the close of the latter month
some extensive purchases were again entered into at 10c1'
and 101 d. and from that time to the present buyers hare
been found to take off readily all the common Congo°
brought on the market, which is now firm, with b°l
little of that quality available under 11d. Early 1°
November the demand was extended to Twankalt
which served to advance quotations from is. lid. $43
Is. 3d. The scarcity of first class and Ho-How klnd°
of Congou since August and September has been one,
'
felt by the trade, and has induced, of late, business- 'II
these descriptions by private contract at some CORSIGet•
able improvement on first cost. The low stocks of the
fine classes of Greens with which the season commence'
lid to an eager demand ; the early arrivals were gene
rally taken off at very remunerating prices ; the d°:
mend continues good for nearly all descriptions, with
the exception of Gunpoader, of which the supply his
been recently more abundant."
The further accounts received to-day from India nr°
not of particular interest, and if there is any diffetenci
in the tenor of the mercantile advices, it is, that the;
are better than those received in December.
The market for the Public Securities is to-day at'
vancing, and there is a fair business doing. Coni°'
have been marked 1004 i for the opening without ini
dividend. Exchequer-bills have been steady °t
635. to 655. premium. The Government broke"
on account of the Savings' Banks or Anuuitiel
only, however, continues daily to invest about 15,0
in New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. This does nu,
look as though the Chancellor of the Exchequer intend
to propose a reduction of interest. Shortly there will na
doubt be a surplus for the National Debt Commix'
sinners, bur whether they will cancel stock or deficient;
bills with it remains to be seen. The dividends will b'
payable next week, and may improve prices, unless up°
the opening of the tranfer books sales are pressed
New Three-and- a Quarter per Cents. are 1031 j. 411
Reduced Three per Cents. 1004 Y. India Stock is up 1°
2874 and 288.
There is again rather a quiet market for Foreiglid
Stocks. Spanish Actives have been marked 2714, $lll,

Columbian have improved to 144 4, and Braziliel

The Railway Shares continue rather buoyant. South'
Westerti have rallied again, and the Great Weiterth
Birmingham and Gloucester, &c., continue as bake'
London and York are somewhat flat. Direct Norther°
about the same as previously to a slight advance. ,
