      will have the beat of it—he looking to the well-being of the publics pocket , and the otlier gentlemen to the fructification of their own gains . French Rentes and railway shares are faat coming bock to their old price wbich they maintained before the declaration of war . Our old railway shares have been active , arid yet , if all reports be true , as to tbe state of { be leading lines , they must be far above their value . People do say , doubtless interested " Bears , " that the noT > le Chairmain of the London and North-Western , has given it as his opinion that fclie said time must soon come to divide 5 per cent , per annum . Were this true their proper price is 90 to 92 . insi . ead of 98 , 99 . Eastern Counties , so long despised and ignored as an in-, vestment , now seems in demand . Mines are flatter than ever , save Noirveau Monde , in which ' some purchases have been made this week on behalf of great names . There has been a demand for Pontgibeaud shares , but as tliere were but few dealers in the market very wide prices are made . . land Companies hav « declined a little ; North British Australasian "have received satisfactory accounts from their agents , and are firm at par to £ prem . The feeling- in the market to-day at two o'clock is still of an upward tendency . Consols are 91 $ , 92 , and although the " Bear" party is very strong , and were it not so strong would b&ve reason and almost certainly of correct judgment on their side , the immensity of their transactions must swallow up the floating stock . vTe may live to see Consols driven up by pressure to 95 before July .

      CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Priday Evening , June 2 . Locai . TbjLdb . —The arrivals of all Grain during the week have been moderate , but the demand has been slow . To effect -sales of "Wheat to any extent , lower prices must "betaken , but to this holders will mot submit . JSarley as |) efore . Oats the turn ciieaper than Monday , Fhbe on Boabd . — The trade has keen characterised by an absence of activit y since our last , at all the principal shipping ports , while here it has been dull , and has offered little inducement to purchases abroad , At the same time tie arrivals from the Black Sea having been quite insignificant , with no expectation of a renewal of them , it appears likely that prices may improve rather than decline during ' the interval between now and harvest . Much , however , will depend on the weather in influencing farmers , millers , and merchants to realise or otherwise . The French markets are still improving , and some of our correspondents expect a ra-Tival of the domand from there . FtOATiKa Trade . —Since this day week -the trade has been quiet , and tueie being few cargoes offering , wo have little to report . 70 s . has been paid for Qalatz Wheat arrived , and 48 s . for Saidi ; with th « se exceptions we hear of no sales up to the moment of writing , nor is there any new feature in the trad * . Che English markets have been generally quiet , and those of Scotland and Ireland have been affected by the tone of the London market . Indian Corn is not in quite so much request . We hear of no sales—the article being scarce . Barley iremains as at date of our last : a car # o of Salon lea lias beon sold at 28 s ., being a better quality than was sold last week at the same price .
