MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Iwo o'clock.—The private letters from Now York,
by the Washington, add little or nothing to the
accounts already before the public in the morning
papers. Money was easier, and exchange, at 1101
to 111, still favourable for the transmission of
specie to Europe. Although the accounts from the
continent this morning were not construed in a satis•
factory light altogether, public securities were not
the less strong, and even realised an advance upon
the (potations of yesterday. Consols ware
actually dose as high as 841 for money,
and for account they ;were, for a short
time, buyers at 811. Between money and
time stock the " backwardatiou" was still main-
tained. But shortly after one o'clock a change came
over the market. A quantity of money stock was
brought forward for sale, and prices Immediately
began to decline. They have now fallen to 84 to 1,
both for money and time, so that the rates are
equalised, with the exception of the fractional
difference of the month's interest between the
two. Reduced Threes are 82,', to 1. 'llhree-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 83:', to 1. Exchequer Bills, 40s.
to 435. premium. Bank Stuck, 189 to 192.
We have scarcely any variation to notice in fo-
reign securities, in which the dealings still con-
tinue to be of limited consideration. Dutch Two-and-
Half per Cents. arc quoted better, at 421 to 31. The
Fours, 62 to 4. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
58 to 63. Russian 84 to 8. Spanish Fives, 121 to
131; the Threes, 211 to 4. l'assive, 31 to Por-
tuguese, 171 to 181. Mexican, 151 to 16t. Brazilian,
87 to 70. Buenos Ayres, 20 to 3. Peruvian, 37
to 40. The prices here reported do not, how-
ever, seem likely to be altogether supported, as the
market is becoming weak in consequence of the fall
in Consols. From Amsterdam, Dutch and other
stocks come better, with a good demand,

RAILWAYS.—We have bed, till within this hour,
a very good market for shares. Our demand was
good, and prices improved. The sudden and rather
extraordinary fall in Consols has now, however, much
checked business.
