and though we have great reason for congratulating our-

There is a smart advance reported in nearly all the
leading British markets up to the close of the week, and
here higher rates have been daily acquired, for Wheat and
Flour, but the extent of business has been restricted by
the small stocks we now hold; some shipments of Indian
Corn have been made hence to the north of France, and
Yesterday several thousand quarters more were taken for
the same destination. With the exception of a fair quantity
of Egyptian Beans and American Indian Corn, we have
scarcely any grain arrivals since this day week ; the Flour
(2,958 barrels) imported, is of an inferior quality, from
Australia.
The market to-day was well attended, and there being
an active demand for Wheat and Flour, with very mode-
rate supplies, prices advanced to the extent of 6d. to 9d.

LONDON, Tu

)AY MORNING,

Notwithstanding the dulness of the money market,
there was no pressure of money in the Stock Exchange
en Monday, the rate being 34 to 4 per cent. on govern-
ment securities ; for commercial purposes, the demand
advanced, and a fresh rise in the corn market likewise
exercised an unfavourable influence. There was still an
absence of political news, but it was noticed with satisfac-
tion that the Greek firms, who always get every fact of an
adverse character from the seat of war with great rapidity
by the way of Odessa, appeared during the last few days
to have heard nothing. An instalment of £150,000 on
the Turkish scrip became due on Monday. On Tuesday
there will be a final payment of about 20 per cent. on the
first series of Exchequer Bonds.
The advices from Portugal by last mail are very un-
favourable, both as regards the wine districts and general
Position of commercial affairs.
At Lisbon, numerous failures had occurred, including
some of the French houses established there, as well as
several native firms.
PARIS, MONDAY.—Funds closed, 75 and 984, being
nearly 4- per cent. lower, chiefly owing to money sales.
VIENNA, MONDAY.—The appearance of the money
I.2larket indcates increased distrust, the exchange on
London having advanced upwards of per cent.
