MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Cloek.—We have to-day to notice a further
relaxation in the rate of discount at the Bank of
England. The minimum is now four per cent. per
annum, the reduction on the former charge being
one per cent. The alteration appears to be one of
importance, but so far no material effect has been
produced by it at the Stock Exchange. Console be-
gan at 89 to 1, from which they receded to 881 to 9,
and rallied to 891. This was after the breaking up
of the Bank parlour, which took place somewhat e..rlier
than common, so that the feeling of the board in I avour
of an abatement of the rate of discount may be sup-
posed to have been nearly or quite unanimous.
Things have since flattened again, and the present
Consul quotation is called 891 to 1 for account. Ex-
chequer Bills are 28s. to 31s. prem.
There have been no dealings of the smallest conse-
quence in the foreign funds, the quotations for the
whole df which are little more than nominal. Danish
Stock, 83& to 41. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents,
531 to 41; the Four per Cent. Certificates, 85 to 1.
Mexican, 18 to 1. Five per Cent. Spanish, 201 tot ;
the Three per Cents., 301 tot ; the Passive Debt,
41 to 1. Six per Cent. Chilian, 88 to 90; the Three
per Cents., .50 to 2, Peruvian, 35 to 41. I'ortuguese,
251 to 61. New Grenada, 19 to 20.
A supplement of the Gazette de Breme having ar-
rived at Haraburg, announcing the dissolution of the
King of I)enmark, the Danish funds at once declined
in the Bourse of that place, although a fatal termination
of his Majesty's severe illness had been so fully antici-
pated. Great political complications were expected
to be occasioned by the unfortunate event. Money
was extremely plentiful at Hamburg, the rate of
discount being only 3i per cent. per annum. The
temperature was at 16 degrees of Iteamur.
Three e'Clock.—The result of the Bank meeting
this morning, as stated above, has, down to the mo-
ment at which we write, failed to exercise any par-
ticular influence on the public securities. Consols
remain steady, at 891 to 1 for the account, with a
very limited business. It is altogether a tranquil day.

TALLOW. —The delivery for the half-week io
1,991 casks. Following on the enormous deliveries we have
lately had, it must be regarded u furnishing the strongest
evidence in support of the position taken by us many months
ago, that the trade were exceedingly bare of stock and the
home supply unusually short. Should the demand continue
with any thing like its present vigour, a considerable rise
must be• the consequence. New Tallow is now a.tracting
attention. Oct. to Dec., 44a. ; separate months, 445. 9d.

CORN.—BARNSLEY, Jan. 26.—Our market was
very thinly attended this day, and very little business was
done; what was done was at a decline of from 6d. to Is. per
3 bushels in Wheat; and Barley, fully le. per qr. Wheat
sold at from 18s. to 19e. 6d. per 3 bushels. Barley, at from
325. to 355. per qr. Nothing doing in other grain.

BAKINOSTOND, Jan 26-The Wheat sold was at a
decline. Best white and dry red sold at 141. per load
good Wheats at 131. 10.. per load; inferior, 121. to 12
guincis. Floor, was ls. to 2s. per sack low( r. Bread
as last week. Barley was plentiful, and trade brisk. The
heavy wimples made Wt week's terms, but others were
offered at a fall of lc per qr.; top price, 335. per qr.;
lowest, 265. to 28s. Malt does not seem to go off freely
at present. Oats were not very plentiful, yet last week's
prices were scarcely obtained ; prices given from 18,. to 26e.
per qr. Beans were is. per qr. lower prices ; from 445. to 48a.
per qr. Peas, the best white, sold readily, at 45e. per qr. ;
grey and maple were down Is. per qr.
BOSTON, Jan. 26.-Farmers do not press sales ef Wheat

ply, without variation in price. Wheat, red, 40s. to 465. ;

extra dry, 545. Oats, 16s. to 21s. Beans, 36a. to 380, per
qr. to the growers.
CHICUESTEft, Jan. 26.-We have had but little Corn in
fresh since last market day, consequently, the sale to-day
was not large. There was a fair demand for most articles,
at prices fully equal to last market day. Flour • slow sale,
at Is. per sack decline. Wheat, 47a. to Ms. Barley, 275. to
335. Oats, 21.. te 245. Beans, 401. to 445. Peas, 365. to
46e. Flour, 375. per sack.
HALESWORTI4, Jan. 25.-The show of Wheat was good.
for which the trade ruled particularly Leavy, at • decline of
le. per qr. Barley firm, and for choice qualities our top
quotations were more easily obtained. Wheat, white. per
qr. 48a. to 525.; red, 425. to 495. Barley, 265, to 31s. Beam,
and Peas, 345. to 40s. Oats, 245. to A&
