MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Half-past One o'Clock.—We have not an event or
a report this morning that should disturb the stock
market, or really does so, although prices have been
fluctuating one way and the other alternately within
a range, not yet overpassed, of about per cent.
That no speculative operations of magnitude are
now going forward in the house may be surmised
from the fact that prices vary within a range so
limited. These fluctuations, however, suit the jobbers
extremely well, and even better perhaps than those
sudden and violent panics, such as have been too fre-
quent for many months, during which changes
of prices represent revolutions of values to the
extent of 10 per cent. in an account, and
2or 3 per cent. in a day. Consols have so far de-
scribed the following round of rates. They were
first marked for account 83, advanced to 831, receded
to 831, rose again to 83!, back again to 834, returned
to 831, down to 83, and again up to 83;. Purchases
of money stock have been Ireely made, among the rest
a considerable parcel by the broker usually acting for
the Scotch banks.
Twn o'Clock.—We have now a more determined
retrograde movement in Consols. They are down to
821 to 3 for account. The Hamburg mail steamer,
whose arrival is just reported, is assigned as the cause
of this sudden depression, because she brings
twenty-five thousand pounds only in specie or bullion,
instead of the much heavier amount expected, if not
advised of. A cause of so little importance now seems
strangely out of proportion with the effect. It is
more probable that, as the purchases ceased, the
selling party took advantage of the absence of counter
operations to, what is technically called, " bang the'
market." For money, Console are 82; to 3. Re-
duced Threes, 811 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 821 to 3i. Exchequer Bills, 17s. to 12e. din.
Bank Stock, 184 to 6.
With the exception of Mexican quoted in decline
at 131 to 16, foreign stocks may he reported rather
more firm. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
called 53 to 4 ; the Fours, 814 to 21. Spanish
Fives, 161 to 17; the Threes, 261 to 7. Portuguese,
20 to 2. Brazilian, 75 to 8. Other foreign stocks
are quoted as before.

RAILWAYS.—The share market opened firm at
yesterday's quotations, with a tendency to advancing
rates, which the heaviness of Consols has, however,
checked. Most descriptions of shares may now be
bought rather more easily. A call of 21. 100. upon
Great Northerns has been announced this morning,
and the shares in consequence are rather lower.
