MONEY MARKET.

[For this clay's City News, see hth papt.]
FRIDAY EYRXIXO.

Some considerable alteration; occurred in the ;
foreign exchanges to-day, the rates on several im-
portant places advancing materially, whilst a decline
took place in some cases of minor importance. Paris ,
maintained last post's price, of 24.97; to 25 for ,
short, and 25.17; to 20 for three months. Amster-
dam found only few takers, and was therefore done
higher, closing at 11.17; to;. On Hamburg the
advance was still more decided; at first 13.7; was ,
offered, but much paper coming forward the rate 1
advanced to 13.7; to Discount going lower at ,
Hamburg, the exchange on London is expected to
rise. Bills on Italy were much in demand, and again
a shade lower. On Spain the demand was not great, ,
and the rates slightly receded. For Portugal the quota-
tion remained stationary at 531 to 2 both for Lisbon
and Oporto. Tho most marked alteration was
noticeable in paper on Austria, which was Dego-
I •
trated at 12.18 to 20 for Vienna, and 12.20 to 22 for
Trieste. The exchange on London comes 12.6 from
the other side, in consequence of the recently an-
nounced intention of the government to sell crown
lands to the amount of 40,000,0001., and to adopt
other measures calculated to improve the money
market. That but very little reliance is placed in
these flattering promises is fully proved by the cir-
cumstance that the currency of the country is still at
a discount of more than 20 per cent.
The rates negotiated were as follows:

A slight fall has taken place in the price of bar
silver at Paris, sympathising with the decline here.
The present quotation is If. per mille below that of
Wednesday. Sovereigns have likewise receded, and
are now '23f. 03c.
The price of gold yesterday at Paris was 3 per
milk discount ((new tariff rate); which at the English,
mint price of 3/. 17s. !Old. per oz. for standard gold
gives an exchange of 23.04, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 23, it follows that
gold is 0.179 per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.

By the latest advice's, the price of gold at Ham-
burgh is 4241 per mare, which at the English mint
price of 31. 17s. 10 per oz. for standard gold gives
an exchange of 13.41, and the exchange at liam-
burg on London at short being 13.1, it Mllows that
gold is 0.410 per cent. dearer m Hamburg than in
London.
By last accounts, the course of exchange at New
York on London, Mr bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101
per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 100 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is nominally 1.17 per cent. in
favour of England. Upon taking into consideration
the difference of interest and charges of transport,
we find that the present rate leaves a considerable
profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

The public sales of colonial wool have been fixed
to commence on the lith instant, when between
50,000 and hO,OOO Ixtgs will be offered.
The Board of Trade returns for the month and
five months ending June 5 afford little room for
comment. The trade of the country remains steady
at the high figures of last year, and the differences,
whether of increase or decrease, are so inconsiderable
as scarcely to call for notice. The total exports for the
month are as follows:
1819
114:41 5,9.59,919
1851 5,961,393

Increase over V,50
1810
The exports of cotton goods arc as follows:
1840 £2,102,375

18.50
1851

....
2,480,430
2,631,2.31

Increase over 1850
This is the most remarkable head of increase. On
woollens and linens there is a slight decrease; silks
arc steady.
The glass manufacture, emancipated from fiscal
obstructions, is in a very favourable condition. Ex-
ports arc steady ; the imports of foreign glass are d‘,.
creasing, and likewise the supply of foreign glass re-
exported.
fhe returns of imports and consumption likewise
afford little room for comment. sugar and tea are
slowly increasing; coffee recovering; cocoa steady.
The total of sugar entering into consumption in
the month was;
1849
1850
18.51
The consumption of tea was :
1849 4,203,927 lbs.
1850 4,568,999 „
1851 4,693,543 „
The live months' returns likewise show a steady

increase.
The imports of corn for the month have fallen off,
but the import of Hour is largely increasing. Half
as much was imported in last month us in the whole
year 1850. '1 he provision and live stock trade are
not to so great extent. It is likewise to be presumed
English agriculture is not quito in extremity, as
agricultural supplies continue largely to extend.
The returns for the five months are us follows :
Guano. Bones.
Tons. Tons.
1849
1510
1841
Other articles are :
Oil cakes. Clover Seed.
Tons. Tons.
