MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Tio. Clock.—The funds are still on the rise, with
a market apparently extremely strong. The decreas-
ing rates of discount, showing the less value and the
restricted means of employment for money in the ge-
neral market,contribute in no small degree to this con-
tinued improvement in public securities, since the larger
returns of interest which they yield must tempt ca-
pitalists with spare funds to invest in them, if only
ter temporary convenience. We have Consols now
quoted for the opening at 81 to or 1 per cent.
better than the highest quotations of yesterday.

We have had some transactions in Mexican bonds
this morning, which improved upon purchases to 161
to 17. In other foreign stocks we are still with few
dealings. Brazilian remain 64 to 6. Peruvian, 30 to 2.

22 to 1 ; Passive, 21 to 3. Portuguese, 151 to 161.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per C,nts. are better, at 43 to
4 ; the Fours, at 61 to 6. Russian, 90 to 2. Danish,
63 to 8.
Whilst public securities improve, and money is so
abundant, the Produce market would seem to be as
depressed as ever in some respects. It is stated
that Surat cotton could not obtain more at yesterday's
sales than 21d. to 21d per lb. • and that those extra-
ordinarily low prices were actually submitted to.

PROI)UCE.-711INCING-LANE, Half-past Two.—

Madras; refined, standard quality, 5.55. 6d. The public
sale of Mocha established a further decline of ls.
—Saltpetre continues dull of sale, and a portion of the
1,000 bags off,red was bought in; refraction, 101, 265.;

FARNHAM, June 29.—The Hops are still progressing in
this neighbourhood ; in fact at this season of the year we do
not rec3llect ever seeing them more flourishing; they are per-
fectly free from vermin, are of a good colour, and arc throwing
out their midsummer shoots abunduntiy, quite to the admira-
tion of the planters; at present they promise well for a good
crop.
WORCESTER, June 28.—We have nothing to report in
this day's market, business being completely at a stand, and
prices are quoted as almost nominal, the highest price for
1846's being at about 565. The plantation ia in the most
Nourishing condition, and the duty is still done at a high
figure.
CRANRRHOK, June 27.—We have had a slight spread of
Or, but at 'newer t the weather is too boisterou-to permit a lengthened
slay. The bine Is very unew n, but looks healthy. We have hail quite
wet enough; and are now looking forward for some warm dry sum-
mer weather.—Wsm LINO, June 27.—the hops still maintain their
favourable appearance, Manchitig across the alleys, and they are as
char as possible from every description of vvrmin. Shouid they re-
c. lac no check, the picking season will commence unusually early.
The damp gloomy weather, so favourable to the grow hot the hop
Dines, very much checks the progress of carrying the clover hay, con-
siderable comities of which remain usinned.

CORN.—MARK-LANL—The supplies of all descrip-
tions of grain, with the exception of fon ten Barley and this,
have been moderate since Monday. Our market was at-
tended by several distant country millers, who took off
a lair quantity of ♦•heat, at prices rather exceeding'
those of Monday last. Barley has been in good
request, and purchases could not be made on quite so good
terms an at the beginning of the week. The busk of the
recent large arrivals of foreign Oats having gone into second
hands, this article was held with more firmness, and Mon-
dale rates were, in many instances, exceeded by U. per qr.
Beans and Peas unaltered.
