COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—So far as the general money market
credit is decidedly more easy, and bankers will now
discount long dated paper which within the last
few weeks would bare been inadmineili!e on almost
any terms. The complaint of scarcity now comes from the
Stock Exchange, where high rates are current for accommo-
dation. To-day, as for seme days part, there has been little
speculation in the funds. The market is fiat, as if the
jobbers were waiting the initiation of some particular
feature before re-commencing operations. Consols have
only fluctuated all the morning about i Per
Cent. from 881 to both for money and time ; they are
sow quoted 881 to 1. Bank Stock, 189 to 191. Exchelner
Bills are still called 2a. discount to la. premium only, not-
withstanding the unusual notice from the Treasury that
holders not wishing to renew may have their money es

verification. Redoced Threes are 851 to 1. Thru-and-a-
Qurter per Cents., 881 to 71.
We have no business worth notice to report of foreign
sleeks. The market is heavy, and prices with a drooping
tendency. Spanish Fives are tolled in decline, 721 to 3; the
