COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE

Two c Clock.—Consols opened this morning at
921, and afterwards went to .121 to bat are now a
little firmer. There is an abundance of stock pressing
on the market, which probably is the real cause of the
extreme susceptibility of the market on the oc-
currence of any rumour.
Some extensive purchases have completely cleared
the market of Exchequer Bills, and they are nomi-
nally quoted at 45e. to 47e. premium. In Bank Stock
and India Stock there is a considerable firmness.
Money is easy at about 2 per cent.
In the foreign market the bwiners has been mainly
confined to Mexican Bond-, which opened at 311.
A notice from the agents of the Mexican government'
has been posted up in theiStock Exchange, to the
effect that they are prepared to advance three-fourths
of the dividend due on these bonds in January,lBl7,
the remittances from Mexico as yet leaving them
aboat twenty-seven thousand pounds short of the
sum required to pay an entire dividend.
This arrangement, however, has not produced
any material alteration in the price of the
Bonds. The other Spanish Atnericin securities
remain much the same as yesterda.y. Buenos
Ayres arc quoted 39 to 41. Brazilian, 78 to

RAILWAYS.—There is very little doing in the
share market this morning, and probably there will
not be much business in most descriptions of English
shares till the expected reports of the various com-
mittees of ioveatigation are published. East Indian
shares have fallen to Ito 7, prem., this morning. In
French shares there is &small bniinesa doing at steady
prices. Orleans and Bordeaux have been done at 31.

Hum., April 3.-We have again to report a large arrival
lof all kinds cf grain. There has been a lair consumptive de-
mand for good-conditioned samples, especially the better
descriptions of red Wheat, which are comparatively soles..
For this day's market our farmers brought a moderato 'apply
of Mu at, which meta fair sale at about last week's prime.
Foe foreign of best quality we experienced a good sale, and
Warier descriptions were no worse; more disposition to
go into stock. A better feeling for Barley at our last week's
currency. No cheats in the value of any other description
of Spring Corn. Only a small arrival of Linseed, and the
market very firm. Linseed Cakes unaltered. A parcel of
Rapeseed has been sold at 261. per last. Rape Cakes dull, at
our quotations. Boom are firm. The present prices:-

'remelt, April3.-'Tike attendance at oar market today
was particularly small, in consequence of its being Wood-
bridge fair. The supply of both Barley end Wriest was
limited, and sold readily at last week's prices. There was a
large quantity of Oats ea offer, and lower rates were obliged
to be taken to effect gala.
LIMOS, April 3.-Oar arrivals of Wheat are large, and
most probably such will be the case fur a week or two ; the
millers buy merely to supply 'hair weekly wants, but holders
do not preys Wes, and tee Tres are fully equal to Friday.
Barley steady in price. Oats and Shelling rather lower.
Little done in Beans, at previous rates. Wheat, 455. Bar-
ley, 30s. 51. Oats, 20s. 21. Beans, 295. 101. Pea., 28s.

Liviterooe, April 3.-Since our market of Friday last
we have received into this port a few tante parcels of grain,
Flour, and Ox•tneal, coastwho and from Ireland. From the
American States upwards of 31,000 qrs. of Indian Corn, with
nearly 19,000 barrels of Flour ; and from the Baltic, in-
cluding the near ports of the European
_ continent
an unusually large supply of Wheat, with 6,315 qrs. of
Beans chiefly from Bop; as apecifled in our import below.
The trade at our market to day was by no means so much
depressed ea might have been expected from the magnitude
of there importations, British and foreign Wheats having
declined In. to 2d. per 70th'., only from the rates of
Tuesday last, at which reduction sales toe mud rate amount
were effecteet. Home-made and Irish Flour, being nearly
without inquiry, remained nominally unaltered in value;
American at the same time b ing taken ',lowly by consumer.,
on terms Gd. per barrel under those of this day week. grime
melting Barter, being scarce, was slightly dearer, ail other
kinds remaining doll at late prince. Malt steady, at one last
quotations. The general runs of Beans were the tarn
cheaper, Egyptians decidedly receding 64. per qr. ; and Yeas
continued almost wholly unnoticed. Oats and Oatmeal, upon
a limited demand, were rather easier to purchase. Indian
Corn, haying been dispo ed of lint freely this morning than
on Friday,Let the advance then stated, and receded 64. per
qr. below the currency of Tuesday last ; Corn Meal merely
sustaining its previous value. On account of Friday occur-
ring this week, our second market will be held on 'Thursday
