MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The corn market is unfortunately again in advance
this morning, to the extent, we believe, of ss. more than the
prices which ruled on this day week, which again were in ad-
vance of previous markets. It must be noted, however,
that the rise suocessively in the two intermediate markets
of the week eaters into the whole sum of the five shillings '
now stated as between ths two extreme points.
It was known that Russia had already prohibited
the export of Rye from her northern ports. We have this
morning advice* from Paris that the Russian government has
now absolutely prohibited the export of all grain (suitable for
food, as may be supposed only) from the ports of the Black
Sea. The intelligence had made a great sensation in Faris,
and excited serious apprehensions, as, upon supplies from
that quarter France had been, and was considered to be,
mainly dependent to make up the deficiency of her own
production. Four months sooner such a measure would,
however, have been much more disastrous, for in the interim
purchases had been made by individuals, or on account of
the French government, to the value of two millionesterling,
of which one-half only had been received in France.
The measure will affect this country in a very inconsider-
able degree only, as it is so much less in the habit of drawing
supplies from that distant quarter, except in eases of utmost
need, because the length and difficulties of the navigation often
end with derange to the commodity in warm weather. Con-
siderable quantities of corn have, however, been imported
from Odessa, Galata, and elsewhere on that sea during the
last year, but as the stocks must, in consequence of thole im-
ports and the much greater demand for the French and other
Mediterranean ports, be greatly exhausted, the present pro-
hibition cannot produce so much mischief, unless it should
be continued during the next harvest in those parts, with,
at the same time, another failure of the crops in Western
Europe.
Half-past Two.—The account of the rise in Mark-lane
-
would'appear to bare exercised no influence on the funds,
except it were negatively, in preventing a greater rise in
prices. Consols, soon after the opening of business,
advanced to 901 to / for money, and 901 to I for
account, with a steady market. The anticipated failure
of the Irish railway scheme, against which, it is now asserted,
the ministry will be able to muster a majority of 70, is the
occasion of this improvement. Reduced Threes are 911 to I.
Exchequer Bills, 51. to Be. premium. It is reported that
notice will shortly be given from the Treasury that the rate
of interest on these bills will be raised to 2d. per day.
We have the same dulness in the foreign market, with
very little variation in prices. Mexican have been 211 to 21,
but are now called 22 to 1. Spanish Fives, 241 to 6 ; the
Threes, 36 to 1, which show a small advance. Portuguese,
341 to N. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 68 to I ; the
Fours, 92 to 4.
