MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Half-past Two.—The Bank of England averages
for the week ending the 17th inst. show the following differ-
ences on comparison with the returns of the week preceding:
Iu the department of issue, decrease of 336,4901., the
actual amount of issue on average being for the week
ending the 17th instant, 28,741,6451. In the ac-
tive circulation an increase of 559,4251., the total
average amount of notes out among the public being
21,331,7751. Deere-ate of public deposits, 4,445,1421.,
the average on bend being 5,356,2601. Increase of
other deposits, 761,6481., the ayera3e held being
9,081,2741. Decrease of government securities in bank-
ing department, 153,2411., the average on hand
12,808,1191. Decrease of other securities, 2,438,7261., the
average being reduced to 12,788,9391. Decrease of coin and
bullion, 439,1861., the average amount being reduced to
15,143,043/. The rest shows an increase of 49,2011., the
amount on average being 3,432,3591.
These returns show some remarkable variations in
the position of the Bank. The increase of active circula-
tion, and the decrease of public deposits, may be readily
accounted for by the payment of dividends. The
notes out would, as apparent from the paying out
of nearly 44 millions of public deposits in divi-
dends, have exhibited a much larger increase still,
but for the countervailing check of the decline in the
amount of securities in the banking department, which in
the aggregate was to the amount of nearly 2,600,0001. The
diminution of the stock of coin and bullion would also act
upon circulation, either by the payment of notes into Bank
against coin or bullion taken out, or by the latter being
called for on dividend account. The Bank, as will be seen
by the securities, was letting its loans run out, and probably
some proport'on of its bills. The excess of the former is a
common occurrence during the shutting of the transfer books,
and the accumulation of public deposits.
The funds are about the same as the opening quotations,'
but with en inactive market. Conso's, 94', to 5 money, and
95 to / for account. The slight rise in prim' therefore, of
yesterday are not supported. Exchequer Bills remein 13s.
to 165., which is evidence of the easiness of money.
Excepting in Spanlsh stocks, the foreign market has been
without business. Spanish Fives are a shade better, at the
quotations 261 to 7 ; the Threes are 374 to 1. Mexican heavy
at 221 to 31.
It is stated from Berlin, that the subscriptions for shares
in the new bank, which is to commence operations on the
lot of January next, amounted to 21,000,000 of stealer..,, that
is, to 11,000,000 more than the quantity to be issued. Con-
fidence in the new establishment was so great, that the
shares were already at 113, that is 13 premium, although not
then distributed, and money besides being so scarce.

at present rates, more than they were actually compelled.
Several samples of Barley were in the market, for which ss.
per bushel were irked—we believe the selling price was not
more than from 43. 3d. to 4s. Bd,

RIPON, Ocr. 22.—We had a good supply of grain
at this day's market. Wheat dull of sale, at last week's
prices. Barley stiff, and looking up. Oats and Beans
steady. Wheat (white), 7s. to 9s, per bushel; Wheat (red),
6s. to Bs. 3d. ; Beaus, 6s. 3d. t r 6s. 6d.; Barley, 365. to 425.
per qr.; Oats (old), 225. to 295.

RolmTow, Oct. 21.—The show of Corn 'at this
market to-day, was by no means large. Wheat sold at las.
week's prier. Barley full 3s. per trarte.r higher. Oats,
Beans, and Peas, without alteration in price. Wheat, 335.
to 425. per load ; Barley, 404. to 50s. ; Oat% 18s. to 335. ;
Tares, Os. Od. per bushel.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 23.—There was a fair attend-
ance, and the business done was at higher prices. Samples
of prime dry Wheat were rather scarce, and sold at an ad-
vance of 2s. per qr. Fine old Wheat, from 635. to 688. ; new
do., from 60s. to 635. per qr. Some inferior samples sold
lower still. Makin; Barley sold as high as from 445. to 4Cs. :
good grinding do., from Ms. to 425. Oats, from 21s. up to
305., being at the prices of last week, Rye seems also to
have a tendency to rise in price, from 3.55. to 385., having
been made. Peas, from 40s. to 48;. Beans, from 465. up to
525, per qr. Indian Maize at last week's terms.

SCARBRO' Oct. 22.—An average number of sam-
ples are offering this day; prices of wheat and oats are about
the same as last week ; good malting Barley is a scarce
article, and continues to look upwards in value. White
wheat, Bs. 6d. to Es. 9d. ; red ditto, 7s. 4d, to Bs. 6d. per five
stones ; Oats, 12d. to 13d. per stone ; grinding Barley, 31s.
to 345. ; and malting ditto, 395. to 41s. per quarter of 32
stones ; flour, seconds, 445. to 46a. ; and superfine, 50s. to
525. per sack of 20 stones.
STOWMARKET, Oar. 22.—80th the attendance and
the supply of Cons was rather small at our market, owing to
the wetness of the day and our farmers being engaged in
seeding. We had no visible alteration in the value of Wheat,
but Barley was Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter higher than last
week, our maltaters being anxious to begin working, the
weather baying become cold. Not a sample that we heard
of either of Beans or Peas in offer.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 23.-Our arrivals of Wheat are
still large, but the demand is quite equal, and we quote prices
Is. quarter higher than last week. Barley finds free sale at
an advance of 2s. to 3e. per quarter on all sorts, grinding as
well as malting in great request. Oats are 3d. to ld. per
stone, and Shelling 3e. per load dearer. Beans come to hand
in fair quantity and do not sell so freely, but this article is
generally held at full prices. Fine Malt extremely scarce,
and brings high rates. No alteration in other articles. The
1 following are the current prices; Wheat, Suffolk, Essex, end
Kent, red new, 635. to 66n, extra, 66e. ; dittto. white, 655. to

LIMERICK, OCT. 21.-A very small Wheat market
to-day, price still creeping up: le. 94d. for red, and le. 104 d.
for white Wheat per stone. Oats a very small supply, price
ls. 24. per stone of 141 b. There was a complete storm last
night, beginning about midnight, and at its height at 6
o'clock this morning. It continues to-day, accompanied with
heavy rain. No English mail today.

Suco, Orr. 21.—At market this day the following
rates were current: Wheat, 335. to 345. per 20 stone; Oats,
Iss. to 18a. Bd. per barrel ; Oatmeal, 20s. to 21s. per cwt. ;
Indian Meal none; first Flour, 22e. per cwt. A tolerable
good supply of grain at market this week.
"'WATERFORD, OCT. 21.—Owing to the inclemency
of the weather, our market has been scantily supplied with
grain since Saturday last ; and, in consequence, the late ad-
vance in prices has been fully maintained. higher rates are
e=pected. Flour goes steadily into consumption, at improving
rates ; while Oatmeal and Indian Corn Meal are again dearer
by Is. per cwt. Potatoes, 20. to Is. 3d. per stone of 141bs.
