MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Do° o'clock.—The second editions of the morning
papers, with reports from Paris that the government
were fully resolved to prevent the great reform ban-
quet demonstration by force of arms, and had actually
collected seventy or eighty thousand troops, from ven-
ous parts of the country, for action in case of necessity,
created somewhat of a sensation in the stock
market, but without more effect on prices than
neutralising whatever tendency there might other-
wise have possibly been to improvement, or to more
active operations in that sense at the commencement
of business, and fur some time afterwards. Consols
remained at b9l to until within this half hour,
when upon a more dispassionate appreciation of the
reports less weight was attached to them, and some
purchases iu csanseqm nee have gradually carried
prices to 894 to 1, both for money and account
This rise is partly attributed to the opinion prevalent
among the dealers that the parties speculating for
the fall have oversold themselves, that is, technically
speaking, that it is and will be a " bear" account.
Again, the belief now more generally entertained
that there will neither be a funding of Exchequer
Bills nor a loan wanted, infuses more confidence
among those who are inclined to think more favour-
ably of the funds.

done at 891, and at that price are buyers. Reduced

CORN.-BARNSLET, Feb. 16.-We had a dull
market this morning, although attendance of the farmers
was good. The general run of Wheat was in soft condition,
and scarcely saleable, but dry samples nearly maintained
the rates of last week ; as may be said of Barley, Oats, and
Beans.
Bost" Feb. 16.-Wheat was lower to-day, with a large
supply ; the best qualities ls., and other sorts, 2s. per pr.
Common Oats, Is. per qr. cheaper ; such as are suitable for
sowing, as also Beans, quite as dear. Wheat, red, 40e. to
455. ; fine, 48s. to 51s. ; white, 425. to 485.; fine, 50s. to 535.
Oats, 16s. to 21s. Beans, 38.5. to 40s. per qr. to the grower.
CHICHESTER, Feb. 16.-Our market was liberally sup.
plied to-day with both Wheat and Barley, for which there
was a very dull sale, at a decline of fully Is. per qr. n•
value of Oats, Beans, and Peas, unaltered. Wheat, 461. to
51s. per quarter. Barley, 28s. to 331. Oats, 21s. to 24a.
Beane, 40e. to 441. Peas, 38s. to 40e. Flour, 375. pet sack.
HALEBWORTH, Feb. 15.-We bad a slow trade for Wheat,
owing to the heavy state of the atmosphere, causing them to
be in very bad condition, and only real dry samples were
saleable. Barley very heavy sale, and, in some Instances,
less money was taken. Beans and Peas as per our last.
Wheat, 465. to 545. per qr. Barley, 28s. to 31s. Beans and
Peas, 325. to 365. Oats, 22e. to 28e.
HAYWARD% HEATH, Feb. 16.-A dull market for every
sort of grain, which was much affected by the dampness of
the weather. Wheat, white, 121. 15s. to 131. ; red, 111. 16e.
to 121. Barley, 30s. to 325. per qr. Oats, 113 s. to 20..
Beans, 35e. to 365. Peas, 36e. to 375.
Rircatx, Feb. 16.-We were again thinly supplied with
the best description of Wheat and Barley, which caused the
market to be firm at last week's prices. The same may be
said with other grain.
ILMIVSTER, Feb. 16.-Trade was very dull; nothing bet
finest Wheats made the prices of last week ; all comma
kinds were 2s. per qr. lower. Barley was also lower ls. per
qr., with a slow sale ; prices from 30s. to 83s. per qr. Oats
a trate lower. Beans and Peas sold well, yet at reduced
prices. But little doing in Seeds.
NEWCASTLE, Feb. 15.-The weather still continues opm,
and, as a natural consequence, all corn comes to hand in
wretched bad condition, and the trade generally tends down-
wards. At our market this morning we had a good supply
of Wheat from the growers, and the arrivals coastwise being
considerable, sales could only be promoted by submitting le
a reduction of ls. per qr. upon Saturday's rates, bat at tide
decline a fair extent of business was dons, Norfolk aid
Suffolk red Wheats commanding 525. to 63e., and white
to 56e. per qr. of 631bs. per bushel. Flour mast be mai
quoted le. per sack ; and at 375. for honaeholde, the aelemi
was tolerably free. In Rye little stirring. )Ls Drefey
most difficult to quit, and, although a further decline of la.
per qr. would have been conceded, it failed to attract
buyers. Malt dull, and inclining cheaper. Beans rather
lower, but boiling Peas are in fair request, and fully
maintain their value. Oats without change.
