on 'Change than for some days past; but although this
expression of satisfaction has been pretty general, we can-
not report any actual improvement in the price or amount
of the transactions of the day. The Share-market here
has been very dull, and most lines somewhat lower.
Consols throughout the week have shown a disposition to

fall, mainly owing to the late unfavourable harvest wea-
ther, and closed on Saturday, after having receded to 851,
at 85/ to 86.
In another part of our paper will be found a paragraph
headed " trade returns," in which the consumption of
the chief articles contributing to the'revenne of the coun-
try and the comforts of the people are shown to have con-
siderably increased. In connexion with this, we cannot
refrain from drawing attention to the increase in the
amount of tea consumed during the first seven months of
this year in the United Kingdom, which shows the im-

menie difference of upwards of 2,500,0001 b contrasted
with the same period last year, being nearly ten per cent.
upon the entire consumption.
The Sugar market for the last two or three days has
been rather quiet. The sales are 200 hhds. Demerara,
120 hhds. Barbadoei, 50 hlids. Porto Rico, 600 mats
Mauritius, and a few Bengals, at prices slightly hi favour
of the buyers.—A better business has been concluded in
Rum. 200 puncheons Demerara fetched 2s. 6d. to 2s. Bd.
for 33 to 35 per cent., and 2i. 11d. for a good mark. 200

neglected, and to effect sales lower rates would have been
taken.—ln Mincing-lane there has been little alteration
during the week. Business has taken place to a moderate
extent, but, although importers generally have not felt
disposed to realize unless at full prices, there has not

been much activity. The sugar market, has presented a
steady appearance throughout, and the pric:..s paid by gro-
cers and refiners have been about equal to former quota-
tions. In West India, however, some sales have been ef-
fected on lower terms.
Although a fair business has been transacted in CorroN
since our last, the tendency then noticed to lower prices

has increased to a quotation for common and middling
Americans, which are 1-d. lower on the fortnight. The
import for the week ending Friday was 32,338; the stock
previously, 596,019 ; the sales, 29,290, of which 1,800

were on speculation, and 6,290 for export, leaving a stock
of Cotton in the port of 600,867, which was 204,197 hales
more than at the same time last year. The stock of
American was 451,955, being 144,155 bales more than at
the same period last year. The apparent weekly con-
sumption up to Friday was 26,188, against 21,154 at the
same period last year. The sales on SATURDAY were
about 5,000 bales, chiefly American, at 34-d. to sd. per lb.,
with a steady market at previous prices. About 600 bales
were taken for export. TO-DAY 5,000 bales were sold,
500 of which were for export, prices remaining unchanged.
The public sales of colonial and foreign Wool. which

were held here on the 10th and 11th inst: drew together
one of the most numerous attendance of buyers we ever
had. The quantity offered was 800 Port Philip, 387 South
Australian, 485 Cape, 915 East. India, 1380 Peruvian; and
412 Russian, Egyptian, Oporto, &c. The biddings for
the Australians and Cape were very spirited througl,out,
and the result is very satisfactory. An advance of hl. to
lid. per lb. may be quoted on the late London sales. The
greater portion of the East Indies was sold at about late
rates. Almost the whole of the Peruvians met with

buyers.—lmports for the week : Foreign, from Naples 20,

The continuance of unsettled weather having produced
a feeling of uncertainty as to the safety of the crops, all
articles of the ConN trade are held here with more firm-

ness. Indian Corn is Is. to ls. 6d. dearer; and Wheat,
having recovered from the slight depression of Friday,

realizes the full prices of Tuesday last. Floating cargoes.
are also in good demand, and rather dearer. The trade
is undoubtedly influenced in some degree by the serious
reports which reach us from all quarters about the
POTATOES. The accounts from Inost parts of England,
and nearly all south of the Humber, are more unfavoura-
ble than heretofore. In Lincolnshire and Norlhampton-
shire it is not expected that a healthy Potato will be found

tinues very steady. The sales are about 250 tons, at an
advance on last week's prices. The import. tor tue week
are 1,184 barrels, 355 tierces, and 100 kegs. Fists OILS
have been in limited request; the sales only about 50 tuns,
at previous rates ; pale seal, £23 15s. to £24, straw, X 22.
brown, £2O per tun. A small parcel of Southern Whale
Oil, of good quality, is reported at £25, and a few tuns
of American Sperm, of middling quality, at £74 ; good
quality is worth £BO per tun. In Olive Oil a large busi-
ness has been done, and higher prices are now asked.
Gallipoli, £45, Spanish, £43 to £44, Palm Oil, £29 10s.

business has been done at 265. for first sort Montreal Pots,
but holders are now asking 275. Pearls, 30s. Of rough
TURPENTINE there are further arrivals. At auction, on
Thursday, 7s. 3d. for good quality was bid, ex ship, but
was withdrawn for 7s. 6d. Spirits of Turpentine move off
slowly at 345. LINSEED CAKES are wanted, and as the.
season for consumption is approaching, higher prices may
be looked for. HEMP is rather dearer, 200 bales dew_

rotted having been disposed of at £24 per ton. ROSIN
continues very steady at 2s. 9d. fcr common and 6s. for
fine qualities. In consequence of the advanced price asked

for Praladelphia QUERCITRON BARK, there has been more
inquiry for the other descriptions, and 30 170 bags
