EXchequer Bills 36 to 39s. premium.
BdCOH.-The amount of business passing has been
considerable, but it is still confined almost entirely to
the inferior descriptions, at very low figures other
sorts attracting very little attention; stocks are,
nevertheless decidedly getting into compass,
and quotations are quite maintained. In Hams and
Shoulders we have no change for the better.
Beef.-lmports having entirely ceased, and
steady, though but moderate, demand continuing,
stocks lighter at the end of each week, and quo
tatons remain unaltered.
BlGtter.-The season for Grease is nearly over,
and business has been dull.
Cheese.-Some small lots have arrived, better in
quality and condition than preceding shipments, and
we anticipate ivelicr trade in this article.
Corn, Sc.-During the past week the improve
ment noted in our last has been sustained and good
consumptve demand has been combined with specu-
atve enquiry, leading, in cases, to slight ad-
vance in prices. Indian Corn continues to be the
chief item in transactions, the Potato Disease being
diligently notified in the newspapers Mediterranean

COhon-Import this week II ,562 bales; sales,
IS, 200; and present stock ST 500 bales, against
52S, 800 at same date last year. The trade have
continued to purchase sparngly, and though specu-
aton and export have taken a considerable quantity,
the total sales are but trhing. The &" Canada's"
accounts confirming previous unfavorable reports of
the crop, led to a slight advance, which how
merely temporary, and prices remain almost I'M
altered from last week. Spectators have taken
1870 bales, and for export 2 $50 bales, dull mar
ket to-day, with sales of 1000 bales.
Lard.-More has been doing at steady prices,
sales reaching to nearly 100 tons.
OaS.-The market remains very firm.
Pork.-Of low Western Prime Mess the quantity
left is manageable; this week has been
more lively than for many past, and sales are above
an average, the lowest quotations being advanced.
Fine qualities least enquired for.
Rice.-50 tierces Carolina sold at los. 3D. ~ cwt.
ROSin.-Supplies are liberal, and will probably
cause prices to rccede 500 barrels, at IS, for
mon Amber, up to lis. W cwt. for fine are reported
as sold.

.MOney.-There is no change in the quoted rates
of discount, though the terms asked little more
stringent. Consols were last done at 92s-an i'm
provement of ~ CT; whilst Railway Investments
of all descriptions appear to have lost public conf
dence, and rapidly declining in value.
C0ttOn.-The market continued quiet until Tues
day, the 18th inst, when the intelligence received
per Canada" had the effect of encouraging specu-
ators, who took 1000 bales, at slightly higher
rates; whilst the purchases the part of the trade,
did not exceed 5000. With this exception, the daily
sales have only averaged 1000 to 5000 bales; the
port demand having fallen off; whilst Spinners still
confne their operations within very narrow COM
pass. Since the 18th prices have resumed their
former dulness. Our stock shows little dimunition,
but the increased import consists chiefly OF lighter
bales from India and the Brazils.
PROFESSIONS is more inquired for, and up
wards of 400 brls. have found buyers, although the
article is still difficult to move freely The sales of
Bacon amount to about 500 boxes, chiefly the inie-
rior qualities, which more sought after in other
kinds there are few transactions.
Bread StufS.-A frmer feeling has prevailed
during the week, and fair amount of business done,
at steady prices. Old Wheat has been inquired for
at extreme rates, whilst New is easier to buy, and
we see that Foreign has again become heavy in Lon
don. Indian Corn is firmly held at the late advance,
owing to the increased fear of the Potato rot.
.NaraI Stores, Sc.-Turpentine After several
of demand sales of 5000 brls having been made from
the ships side at 5s 3D. for inferior and out of cond
tion up to IS for good. For Quercitron Bark good
inquiry has existed and the bulk of recent arr
walls have been placed at los, up to lis. 3D., chiefly
however, at the lower figure
