COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o Clock.—We have still an animated market
in the funds. Consols opened in advance of the
last prices of yesterday, and momentarily were buyers
at 851,. From this highest point we have bad a re-
action to 851 to 1 from sales,by the jobbers for the
realisation of profits upon purchases made at lower
rates; but they have since re-ascended to, and now
are, 851 to for the opening. Reduced Threes are
854 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 861
to .1. Exchequer Bills, 378. to 40s. prem. Bank
Stack, 1891 to 1911.
We have marcely any change to report in foreign
stocks, which obtain, and are likely to obtain, little
attention from the jobbers whilst business is so active
and animated in the home funds. We quote Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 431 to 41 ; the Fours have
risen to 871 to 81. Belgian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 58 to 62. Russian, 90 to 2. Spanish
Fives, 111 to 12 ; the Threes, 211 to 2 ex-dividend ;
Passive, 3 to 1. Portuguese, 17 to 18. Mexican,
161 to 171. Peruvian, 32 to 4. New Grenada, 12 to
13. Venezuela, 14 to 17. Danish, 63 to 7.
Brazilian, 64 to 7.
We have very few mercantile letters from New
York by the Hermann, as the merchants still prefer
writing by the Cunard steamers, as more regular
than the American steamers had been. In future,
however, the latter will doubtless become
more regular. The Hermann and the pre-
vious American steamer made both very good pas-
sages. Business was reported to be not quite so
bask in the United States, and merchants were deal-
ing more in loans and money than in wares.

In Osta some few sales were effected at 6,1. per qr. beyond
last rates. Beata anl Yeas were disposed of witi out change

BRIDLINGTON, July I.—The ai-eather has been very ^_^.
settled during the week- There was a 'omit show of Wheat
at this day's market, which sold noddy at Is. per qr. ad-
vance. The supply of Oats, Beans, and Peas was short, but
the demand was dull, and prices were rather lower for all
except prime fresh samples. Wheat, 465. to 495. per qr.
Oots, 91 to 91d. per at. Beans, 335. to 365. Pees, 3ls. to

CANNNIDGE. July 1.-We had a large supply of Wheat,
which met a fair sale at last week's prices. We have had a
dull, cold week, and heavy rain the greater part of this day.
Wheat, red, 445. to 465. ; white, 485. Beaus, 36,. to 38s.
Oats, 18e. to 225.
CIRENCESTER, July 3.-We had a fair amount of business
doing in Wheat to-day, at the prices obtainable last wet k.

currency. Wheat, 101. to 131. per load. Barley, 30s. to 345.
per qr. Oats, 22.. to 285. Beans, 40s. to 411.
DONCASTER, July 1.-Fresh up by water there wu a good
supply of Wheat to this morning's market, hut from the
immediate neighbourhood very little came to hand The
demand was not so active to-day for any kind of Wheat,
and although some samples obtained lea week's currency,
I the general state of the market wee 6d. per three baebel
under. Oats and Beans were nominally the same, the de-
mand being confined 'o the merest retail quantities. Barley
unaltered. Prices: Wheat, new, 19s. to 205. ; fine, 21e. to
21s. 6d. ; old, 195. to 20s. ; fine, 21s. to 21s. 6d.; Blend-

HEREFORD, July 1.-We bad a short quantity of Wheat,
and good samples were readily disposed of, at Is. per qr,
advance. We have little doing in Barley, Beans, Peak or
Oats ; there is ao alteration in their value.
HUNTINODON, July 1.-There was rather more demand
for the beat samples of Wheat, and such made a little mor..
money. Other kinds of grain remain in the same dull state
which of late has been noticed.
KENDAL, July 1.-We had a moderately fair show of
grain, which was mostly sold at the prices quoted. During
the last week a considerable quantity of rain has fallen io '
this neighbourhood; consequently the hay harvest has been
much impeded.
KINGSTON, July 1.-We had a small attendance of far-
mers, with a correeponding supply of Wheat, which met a
ready sale, at prices fully equal to last week. Wheat, 48s. to
575. Barley, 30i. to 325.
LANCASTER, July 1.-Owing to the vast quantity of rain
fallen during the week our (inners asked lc advance for
Wheat, but in no instance did we hear of it being obtained.
It was, however, sold rather in their favour over lest week.
Meal temaine much the same. New Potatoes in abundance,
-101bs. for 6d.

_ - -
Pxxsvon, July 1.---The weather has been unsettled dur-
ing the week. We have to report the arrival of oue vessel
from the Baltic, laden with Wheat and Barley, but with this
exception the supplies fresh up are insignificant. There has
been no change in the trade worth notice since last Saturday,
prices having remained tolerably steady, with an increasing
demand for the heat fresh samples of Wheat. There was a
small supply of English W. eat at our corn exchange this
morning, which was held for an advance of la per wir.dle ;
the dealers, however, would not submit to this amendment,
and ultimately there was some difficulty in effecting a clear-
ance at any improvement upon the rates of thisday sennight,
and we do not alter our quotations. Fresh parcels of Irish
scarce, and inquired for. Flour rather easier to purchase.
Oats in limited request, and prices almost nominal. The
market being scantily 'applied with farmers' Oatmeal, we
must note this article in a retail way the turn higher, but
we have no improvement in the demand fur Irish, and it is
very difficult to realise our quotations. In other articles no
change. The average price of Wheat this week is 50s. 4d.
per imp. qr.
STETNINO, July 3.-The supply of Wheat to-day was
fair, which, from the unsettled weather, met a brisk de-
mand, at an advence of la. to 2a. per qr. Oats, Beans, and
Peas steady and firm. Wheat, wtate, 131. to 131. 10s.; red,
111. 10s. to 121. ss. Oats, 20e. to 21s. Brans, 345. to 38s.
Peas, 38s.
SWINDON, July 3.-The supplies were moderately good,
although the market renx.ins in pretty much the 'tame state
as last reported. An advance of Is. per qr. was made in
the price of Wheat. An inclination to reduction in Barley
ended in less terms being to►en. Oats were looking up, and
some little business done, at 6d. per qr. more money. Beans
and Peas unaltarcd. Heavy white Wheat, 535. to 55s per
qr. ; hest red, 535. ; interior sampler, 425. to 445. Best Bar-
ley, 335. per qr. ; inferior, 31s. Best Poland Oats, 255. 6d. ;
secondary qualities, 19s. to 72a. Peas, best, 485. to 51.4. ;
inferior, 365. to 40s. Beaus, best, Hs. per quarter ; lowest

price, 40s.
YARMOUTH, July 1.-We have but very short eupplies of
all grain. Prices for Wheat are much the same as last
week ; the demand is chiefly confined to the millers. No
Barley at market; and for Beans or Peas we have scarcely
any inquiry. Oats remain the same. Wheat, white, 48s. to
50s. ; red, 465. to 48.. Barley, 28z. to 295. Beans, 335. to
341. ; Peas, 345. to 35e. Oats, 225. to 251. per qr.
ALTONA, June 30.-The Wheat market has been nearly
cleared by the purchases made during the earlier part of the
week, and the prices asked to-day are considerably higher.
For tome small parcels of 621bs. to 631bs. red Upland,
38s. 6d. to 395. 6i. hu been paid, and nothing is obtainable
cheaper. For Baltic Wheats there is a good demand at
about 351. to 361. on board, but there is scarcely anything
off, ring, and 361. 6d. to 375. has been paid far a caret) of
621bs. Mecklenburg to ship at Wismar. Should the weather
not take up in • day or two, we shall have much higher
prices next we, k. The supplies of Barley from the upper
country continue small, and of fine qualities of
Saale particularly only very trifling parcels have
arrived ; prices have remained much the tame, say
21s. to 225. 6d. for 4911b5. to 511bs. Seale' as in quality, and
20s. 3d. to 21s. 9d. to 501ba. to 521 b. Mecklenburg. Danish
Barleys have been offering on cheaper terms, and several car-
goes have been placed during the week. In Beans, Peas,
and Oats, there is little doing, and prices rather lower, with
limited supplies. Of Rapeseed, there is nothing at market
at present, and some inquiry for our own crushed. The
accounts from the country speak favourably of the fields,
and in the Lower Elbe districts cutting may commence in
the coarse of a fortnight if the weather turns fine. Clover-
seed flat for all descriptions.
GRONINGEN, June 27.-Wheat in improved request ; but
enhanced rates being asked, checked sales. Rye and Buck-
wheat met • good speculative demand, at a decline of la.
per qr. Barley neglected. In Beans but little passing, and
prevent' rates are well maintained. Oats, a heavy sale, at a
decline of Is. to Is 3d. per qr. Rapeseed dull, at 10s. to
15s. per last lower. Freights to London and east vast, 14e,
to 16s. and 10 per cent. per last.
Hannon°, June 27.-The berer accounts from England
eau ed • further advance of Is. per qr. on Whett now here,
fine red, 631b1., having been sold at 38s. 6d. to 395. To-day
the market is more quiet; buyers still offer 381. for best
Wheat, but holders will not give way. White Saale Wheat,
601bs. per bushel, fetches 40s. per qr. From the Baltic we
are without offers. Seale Barley continues in good de-
mand, at 225. 6d. to 235. 6d., and an extra parcel was sold at
255. 6d. From Denmark we have more Barley on offer, but
' price is unaltered-235. for Island, and 225. 6d. for Jutland,
531b5., including freight. Oats are still beld at late prices,
i but we hear of no tranuctions. Beans are rather flatter.
Peas find buyers. A moderate business continues to be done
in both white and red Cloverseed. Rape Cakes readily fetch
955. to 963. per too, including freight. Linseed Cakes are
scarce, and held higher.
KONIGSBERG, June 24.-The want of supplies has pre-
' vented much business in corn. 50 lasts of good mixed
Wheat, 611b5., have been plated at 345. ; and 60 lasts good
red, at 335. per qr. free on board. Freight to the east coast
of Great Britain, 41. 6d. per qr. for Wheat, and Is. per last.
Srerris, June 26.-We have little change to noticein cur
grain trade since this day week. Wheat fully maintains its
value, and the demand being rather active, we quote fine
, red, 621b5.,' Pomeranian Wheat, 35e. to 36e. per qr. free on
board ; 611 b. red Uckermark, 335. 6d. per qr. free on board.
In prices of Barley and Peas no alteration.

progress towards perfection since the rain ; there are some pieces of

CHEESE..—FAREILVII (ST. PETER'S LARGE FAIR),
une 30.—This Is said to be the largest (sir for the sale of
Cheese but one in the county of Hants. This year there was
a large quantity (said to be nearly 360 tons) pitched, yet not
so much as some years ; most of it was new. Prices asked
were high, about those given of Romsey and Lymii.g.en
fairs; the finest Somerset, (both white and yerow) sold at
from fife. to 68s. per cwt. for old, and at from as. to 68a.
ditto for this year's make ; a few lots of pnme old Cheddar
reached 765. Higher prices were at first demanjed, yet
factors refused to give, except for a few packed dairies.
North \Vitt', old, made from 60e. to Gls per cwt. ; new,
545. to 565. ; thin Dorset, and Gloucester,, with best half
Cowards, sold at from 48s. to 525. ; skims at from 261. to 324.
A few lots of American and Dutch Cheese offered; best
large and old American went a.. from 40s. to 425. per cwt. ;
Dutch at from 325. to 365. ; nearly all the best found par.
chasers.

WOOL.—NIULLACREW FAIL—From the prices
obtained, contrasted with the rates of Wool at the same fair
for the last two years, there is an alarming retrogression iu
this branch of trade. In 1846, the wholesale price was from
20.. to 21s. per stone, the retail price, 225. to 245. In 1847, the
wholesale prices were from 13s. to 14s. ; retail prices, 16s. to
178. At the present fair, the prices were 10s. 6d. to 11s.
wholesale ; and Ils. 6d. to 12s. 6d. retail ; thus showing a
decrease of cent. per cent. in the lapse of two years, and full
24 per cent, in the course of the past year. N ltwithstanding
the great depression in price, very few sales in the whole-
sale line were effected, as nearly a.l the packs were sent
away unsold.

July 4 :—Beasta, 1,963; Calves, 67; Sheep, 8,056; Pity
.414.

BOTLET, July 3.—The market was well supplied with good
stock, and full prices were obtained. Best fat Sheep were
quotable at front M. to 71d. per lb. ; second quality, 64d. to
id. Some Lambs came in bad condition, and prices gene-
nerally were on the decline: best, ss. 10d. per stone; inferior,
ss. 6d. to ss. Bd. S•ore Hogs and secondary class of Pigs at
average rates.

FAREHAM FAIR.-There was a large quantity of stock
for sale. Cows, Heifers, and Calves were sold at a reduction
of at least 10s. per head from the last Southampton Chapel
fair ; many large Oxen nut making FO much as similar made
this time fast par by from 21. to 4/. per head. Sheep were
in moderate quantity ; prices on the decline. Tests sold at
from 30.. to 40.. each ; Ewes, 265. to 365.; Ram Lambs, from
325. to 451. ; Ewe, 245. to 30s.
NORWICH, July 1.-Our market exhibited a good show of
store cattle ; trade was rather brisker, and last week's prima
well supported. Scots, 3s. 6d, per st. ; short-horns, 3s. to
3s. Gd. ; Irish and Dutch, 2s. 6d. to 3s. per stone of 14165.,
when fat. Fat Beasts • rood show; trade bri'k, at Gs. 6d.
to 7s. p-r stone of 141b5., and all sold. The pens were well
filled. Lambs an excellent show, and a good clearance at
from 16s. to 265. per head. Ewes of all ages • very dull sale.
Fat Sheep steady, at 74. 6d. to Si. per stone, without a clear-
ance. Good store Pigs from 255. to 30s. per head. Fat
Pork, 6s. 6d. to 6s. 9d. per stone.
EARLSTOUN FAIR.-At this fair there was fully an average
supply of cattle, which consisted, as usual, almost entirely of
young Beasts. Sales were in general slow, and several loft
were driven off unsold. Two-year olds ranged from 81. 10e.
to 111. ' • and some very forward in condition were sold at
even a higher figure. 'Year-olds brought from 51. 10s. to 81.
The show of fat Cattle was limited, sad brought from 6s. to
Gd. per stone.
MULLACREW FAIR.-Th's fair was well-stocked, but the
general appearance of the Cattle wu by no means equal to
previous lairs. The lots of Beef, though ample for the
demand, were not so numerous. The lots of Sheep were
numerous, and a reduction in price was manifest. A fine lot
of wethers were sold for 565. each. Those Sheep would, two
months previously, have obtained 655. A reduction, amount-
ing to 11. each, took place on the dry cattle ; and young
mock springers were plenty, and in good demand, but were
somewhat down in price. Pigs have not been so dear for a
long time, except the fat ones ; but every description of them
was enormously high; suckers were a guinea each; nearly
every pig was disposed of.

all the bills in their lordships' house which might come up
from the House of Commons.
