tained. In goods there was no material change from the
preceding Tuesday.

of a limited description, and Consols closed steady with a
trifling improvement at 93i 94 for the Account, Money 934
Opened at the same prices. The foreign exchanges were ra-
ther lower, and it is expected that some further extensive
importations of foreign grain will take place, which will
cause the rates of the exchanges to continue low. Exchequer
