Consols, which left of on Friday last at 881 to A for
account, were suppurtod by investments on the part
of the public, who absorbed all the stock placed
upon the market by the banks and others who were
obliged to sell ; and at a subsequent period the
market was strengthened by rumours relative to
Government interference with the Bank Act. This
imparted great firmness to holders, and caused the
dealers to make wide prices. Yesterday the remark-
able fact was disclosed of a difference of no less
than one per cent. between the price for money and
the price for account, caused by the Bank of England
being heavy sellers of stock on the one hand for
notes, while, on the other, there was as heavy a
speculative demand for the account, owing to the
expectations of the immediate appearance of a Go-
vernment letter. The fluctuations in both cases were
about one per cent. Eventually the Government
letter made its appearance, and in consequence of it
Consols left off for account nt 901 to I. This
morning Consols opened at 901 to I, but a heavy
sale of 500,000/. stock by the Bank forced them
down, though the public were buyers to 891 to I, at
which they left off flat.
Little business has been done in the Foreign
Market, and the fluctuations have been unimportant.

CORN EXCHANGE—The Frenoh Government having issued
a decree permitting the export of native produce from France,
great heaviness has pre7ailed in the demand fur all kinds of
wheat—both English and foreign—this week. In some in-
stances a alight decline has taken place in prices, and very few
parcels have changed hands. The barley trade, from the same
cause, has ruled heavy in the extreme, and the rates have given
way fully 2s per quarter—inferior parcels being quite unsaleable.
The malt trade has continued dull, at barely stationary prices.
The arrivals of oats having been extensive, that grain has
moved off slowly, at le per quarter let.. money. We have no
change to notice in the value of beans, but white peas have
fallen is to 2s per quarter. The flour trade has continued dull
on former terms.
