quarter. --astai• beans, and malt, went off at
higher prices. One purchase of '2op plows of
wheat was 'made on Tuesday, and sold again on
Friday at a profit of 601. At Leeds there was also
a rise. Nearer the capital, at Canto bury, the
higlieSt prce Of wheat on Saturday last was Sth.

early on Tuesday morning. He had spoke only
once.

FINANCE.--It is agreed, that a Bonus of six
millions, which was to be given to the Proprietors
of Bank Stock, shall be lent to Government.—
This, it is supposed,. will supersede the necebsity
of the Minister's asking a Loan, end has had the
effect .of producing a rise in the Stocks.—Another
Bonus,..if taken due advantage of before Saturday
next, will supersede the necessity of many Loans.
We mean the Lottery Bonus, of which all are
eager to avail themselves, and at no office with
greater avidity than at WEBB'S, 17, Ludgate-
street, and 9, Cornhill, arising, no douht, from
their'being two Prizes of 30,0001. in the Scheme,
and his having sold the two last.
