MONEY MARKET 6iCITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Ciarle.—The tions for the settlement
of account to-morrow are- the chief business in hand this
morning in the stock market. The quotatim4r, therefore,
Lave varied little, although they are a fraction better
now than they opened, probably because of the
favourable accounts of drooping prices in ?dark-lane.
Consols are uow called 871 to 4, for money and
ta-
n Options must be declared at a quarter before three
o'clock; anti it will then be more distinctly even,
perhaps, what course the settlement may take. At
present, from the improved state of the market
now nod for some few days past, it would seem to
point to what is called a " bear" account. Reduced Threes

Very little business was done, but, if anything, the market
was firmer, and prices have seemingly a somewhat upward
tendency.

b11:0100.-The sales of indigo terminated yesterday.
Originally there were declared 14,361 chests, including 2,12
Madras, 2,064 Kurpah, 27 Dimlipatatn, 31 Manila, 481
Oude, and 9,576 Bengal Benaree, &c. ; but during the pro-
gress of the sale, 7,019 were withdrawn, making the actual
number put up 7,332 ehesta. The result of the sale just ter-
minated presents a strong contrast to that of the one held in
February last, when 8,000 chests were sold, out of a declara-
tion of 9,500, whilst in the present instance only 5,560 chests
have found buyers, out of 14,351 advertised. During the first
three day* the bidding' were very languid, and only 1,500
chests were sold out of 5,100 then passed, the buyers evi-
dently holding back from the uncertainty as to how much
might be offered out of the 10,000 chests yet to be brought
forward, as well as from the knowledge that several mark"
were subsequently to be sold almost unreservedly. Several
large parcels, however, having been afterwards withdrawn,
the sale proceeded ;with more animetisn, and closed at •
slight improvement upon the prices realised at the early
part of it. The Madras, of which the quantity was
unusually large, experienoed the greatest depression in
the middling and good qualities, the lower sorts
having been strongly supported. The few really fine Kur-
pahs sold at very full prices, whilst the other qualities went
off at a decline corresponding to that on Bengal. Compared
with the February sale, good and fine %hipping Bengal have
sold from 2d. to 44., ordinary to middling ditto; and coa-
-1 turning, 4d. to Gd. per lb. lower; Madras, middling to fine,
to Gd., low and ordinary, 2d. to 3d. decline ; Kurpah, fine,
February prices, ordinary to good, 3d. to 4d. per lb. dis-
count ; and Oudc, 4d. to 6d. lower. There was • very small
attendance of buyers, both from the country and from the
Continent. Of the 5,560 chests which have been sold including
430 of the bought in, 4,000 are considered to be for export,
1,000 for the home trade, and about 500 on speculation. An-
nexed arc the particulars of qualities end prices : Bengal,
Benares, &c., fine blue, none; purple and violet, Si. 6d.
to 6s. Bd. ; good to fine violet, ss. 2el. to se. Gd. ; middling to
