COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock. —The funds continue firm and in
favour. We have Consols at 84'4 to with good
buyers; it is reported, indeed, that some of the Scotch
banks have been in the market this morning, and have
taken off considerable quantities of money stock. We
have a slight reaction now, but only to 84; to 1, both
for money and account. R diced Threes are 821 to
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 83,;,, to 3. Ex-
chequer Bills, for June, 33e. to 375. premium; the
March Bills, 425. to 475. premium. Bank Stock, 189
to 192.

We have some movement in the prices of various
foreign stocks to-day, with rather more activity of
business. Although the accounts from Amsterdam
advise of further depression in the stock market there,
we have to report an advance here in Dutch stocks.
The Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are now again quoted
at 41 to 3; the Fours, 61 to :1. Belgian remain 58 to 63.
Spanish are also better, and more in demand ; the
Fives, at 121 to 13; ; the Threes, at 221 to 3. Por-
tuguese, 17 to 18. Russian, 84 to 8. Mexican, 151
to 16. Peruvian, 35 to 7. New Grenada, 10 to 12.
Brazilian, 68 to 70. Buenos Ayres, 20 to 3.
Au appeal of the government appears in the
Belgian papers, from which it may be gathered that
the voluntary loan, decreed to be opened by the law of
Nlay 6, was making but indifferent progress. The public
are advised that subscriptions will be received for
any sum not below twenty francs, and that the rate
of interest is fixed at five per cent. But, it is
added, those who shall subscribe are at liberty also
to declare whether they will accept of the interest,
as proposed, or renounce it in favour of the treasury.

Baum:tar, May 18.-This has been a very quiet day In
lb* corn trade, beat dry samples of Wheat only real sing last
week's prices. The value of spring corn is without ahem
tion. Prices as follows :-Wheat, 53.3 d. to Os. per qr. Beans,
53. to Os. 6d. Barley, 295. to 340. Oats, 213. to 263.
Blinn:10 HAY, May 18.-During the present week the
transactions In the trade arc again on a limited scale, but the
Wheat which changed hands realised fully previous currency.
Barley less in request. Oats very scarce, and have further
advanced. Buyers of Beans and Peas hold off, rather than
comply with higher rate,. At this day's market there was
a short supply of Wheat, which sold at an advance of Is. to
Is. Gd. per qr. Bailey unaltered in value. The high price
demanded for Oats caused the sale to be limited, at Is. per
qr. advance. Beans held for some improvement, which could
not be realised. Prices :-W hest, English, white, per bushel
of 621135, 6s. 3d. to 6s. 10d. ' • new, 6s. 4d. to Gs. 9d. ; red,

Bali:rrow, May 18.—We have to-day to report a dull
market for all sorts of grain. Millers that had Wheat by
them refused to get further into stock, and needy buyers
bought very cautiously, so that only a retail trade was trans.
acted. Wheat, white, Ili. 15s. to 121.; red, 101. 1.55. to
111. Barley, 34e ti O►ts, 20s. to 21s. Beans, 365. to
375. Peas, 375. to 38s.
BRISTOL, May 18.—The weather was warm and dry
during the put week, until last night. We had to-day
slight showers, and promise of better weather for spring
crops and grass. Our foreign arrivals consist of 776 qrs. of
Wheat, 366 qrs. of Barley, and 122 qrs. of Beans; these,
with 1,200 qrs. of Barley, 1,049 qrs. Oats, and,only 24 qrs.
of Wheat, 10 barrels and 36 sacks of Flour, coastwise and
from Ireland, forma very short supply. The deliveries of
Wheat from the farmers are but moderate, though sufficient
for the poor demand from our millers, who continue to ea-
perience a very slack sale of Flour. Prices much the sane
as last week, with some improvement in Oats and Barley,
which are held for 6d. to Is. per qr. advance this week.

Day izzs, May 18.-We had a moderate supply-of Wheat.
At the commencement of the market a few parcels were sold
at lot week's prices, but the trade soon became very brisk ;
and, on the whole, prices may be quoted fully 2s. a quarter
above those of last week ; everything was quickly sold. At
the close some lots obtained an advance of 3s. a quarter.
Barley was in small supply, with but little business doing, at
about the prices of our last market. In Oats, Beans, and teas
the transactions were very limited, ‘ll,l but little alteration
in price. Wheat, white, per qr., 495. to 535.; hest red, 48s.
to 525.; middling, 425. to 465. • inferior, 395. to 41s. Barley.
28s. to 40.. Peas, 21s. to 26a. Beans, old, 42a. to 50s. ;
new, 40e. to 46e. Peas, 365. to 465. Flour, fine, per sada,
395. to 411.; seconds, 355. to 38s.
Fauxuast, May 18.-We were well supplied with Wheat
at this day's market; trade ruled dull, and secondary des-
criptions were rather lower. Barley and Oata were in
demand, ani were both the turn higher. Wheat from 111.
to 141. per load. Barley, 30.. to 36, per qr. Oats, 225. to
to 265. Peas, 38s. to 425. Beans, 385. to 42a.
GAINBBOROUGH, May 16.-There was more animation in
the Wheat trade; a tuir supply was offering ; sellers demanded
advanced prices, which ruled Is. to 2s. per qr. higher than
last week. Spring Corn very scarce, and at full prim.
Flour as last week. Wheat, 465. to 50s.
UADLLIGIi, May 15.-We were moderately supplied with
grain today ; screen Wheats were rathi r short, and late
prices were fully maintained for the best sample.. But few
Barleys on offer, and no particular alteration in value.

LOUTH, May 17.—We had a small corn market, and only
• limited business; prices for all kinds of grain were well
supported, and we quote them as last advised. Wheat, 41s.
to 495. Barley, 26a. to 30s. Oats, 16s. to 20s. Beans,
355. to 41s.

13ANNINOTREE, May 18.—The supply of Wheat was only
moderate to-day ; there was no disposition on the part of
buyers to do any business; we therefore call the trade
nominally as last week. This fine dry weather keeps up a
brisk demand for spring Corn. White wheat, 48s. to 62e.;
red, 44.. to 475. Beans, 30s. to 365. Peas, 32e. to 355.
Barley, grinding, 28s. to 30s.

Mar.vosi MOWBRAY, May 16.—We have had a fair sup-
ply of Wheat offering at this market, at about the same rates
as last week; with a thin supply of all kinds of Spring corn,
at hill Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer. Wheat, 48s. to 50s. Bar.
ley, 345. to 36e. Oats, 2.45. to 28e. Beaus, 404. to 44.. per qr.
NIWBUILY, May 18.—We had rather a large supply of
Wheat, for which there was a steady demand, at fully the
prices of last week. There was scarcely any Barley at
market ; prices remain the same. Rather more money wait
given for Oats and Beans. l'eas the same. Averages to the
13th May . Wheat, 468 qrs., average, 475. lid. Barley,
76, 325. Bd. Oats, 25, 20alld. Beans, 43, 38s. 11d.

• . .
Ptsmorra, May 18.—Very little business was done at
this day's corn market ; fanners' supplies were small, and
merchants were not disposed to take the oilers made by
millers, many of whom appeared de,irous to purchase
Wheat. The weather has changed to ahowen, and is cold
and unsettled.

ROMSEY, M:y 18.—Our ratrket thts day was but scantily
attended by buyers and sellers. The former scarcely sp.
eared to know whether to become purchasers or not.

other sales at 121. 10s. In Barley bluing's was done at an

Svoctrox-ox-Tres, May 17.—The weather continues

coastwise, and the farmers' supply this morning was exceed-
ingly limited. Wheat met a ready sale at an advance et le.

Wonxiworom, May 17.-We had a fair 'apply of Wheat
and Oats at this day's market. Bailey r-arce. There were
but few buyers, and only a dull I usiness done, at a slight de-
cline on last week's rates. Wheat, 20s. Gl. to 234. Gd. Oats,
134. 6.1410 91. per 3 imp. bushels. Average for Wheat, 695.
Oati, Ilk 4d.
EDINTU.RO/1, May 17.-There was bat a small supply of
Wheat brought forward at this morning's market, but the
bulk being of fine quality, farmers were enabled to obtain
fully last week's rates. Foreign Wheat was in limited re-
quest, and the turn cheaper. Barley continues scarce, and
Werner prices are fully maintained. Oats met a good inquiry,
at about the currency of this day se'nnight. Beans anal-
tared. Wheat, top, 605., average, 545. Id.; Barley, top,
137/. Gd , average, 31s. 4d. ; Oats, top, 265. 6d., average,
265. sd. ; Beans, top, 371., average, 345. 51.1.
GLASGOW, May 17.-Supplies to the Clyde since this
day week have been trivial, the principal imports being
3,150 In. Oats from Ireland, and 1,495 qrs. Indian Corn
from new York, while into Grangemouth there are reported
200 qrs. Wheat, 2,080 qrs. Barley, 780 qrs. Beans, and 712
sacks Flour, coastwise; and 1,085 qrs. Wheat from the Elbe.
Demand for Wh, at during the week has been slack, and
although there has been no very material variation in prices,
the tendency Las been duwevrards. Oats have been held for
higher rates, and in some instances a small advance has
been obtained, but the trade has by no means been lively.
Barley has supported its value, end fe-ding Beans have been
more saleable at fully late rates. In Flour and Oatmeal
there has been no change. There has been an improved
inquiry for Indian Corn ; and there are only • few small
lots held here. We had some refieshing rain in the early
part of the week, which bas much improved the appeararce
of the growing crops. This day's market was pretty well
attended. There was a fair retail sale for Wheat, and the
rates of this day se'nnight were maintained. Oats may be
noted 3d. to 6d. dearer for fine qualities; but demand not
alive. Barley was held at full prices; but there was
scarcely so good au inquiry for it as of late. Flour and Oat-
meal supported recent values. Indian Corn was wanted,
and the few trifling lots here ware held for extra prices.
The following were prices:-Wheat, per 246 lbs., English,
white, old, 26e. to 275.; new, 2.5 e. to 26e.64.; red, old,

CATTLE, &c.— SmininELD, Tice o'Clock.—There
is to- ay a larger supply of Beasts than we have known for
a considerable time on the Friday ; notwithetanding,,the
weather being favourable, and the dead market being pretty
clear, trade is very little worse. Although 4s. 4d. in in some
instances realisEd, it is rather above what may be termed an
average for best qualities. We have *fair supply of Sheep,
but not many tirst-rre descriptions ; prices remain about the
same as on Mondry. Good Lamb is scarce and diar ; the
general quality of the supply is very middling indeed. The
number of Calves is large, but there is a brisk &mend, and
prices remain ur.altered. There is rather a better trade for
owing to the favourable change in the weather. From
Holland we have about 160 Beasts, 616 Sheep, and 136
Calves ; Scotland, 500 Beasts; and 131 Much Cows from the
Home counties.

fected were at reduced prices, unless for a few lots of superior
quaiity. The show of fat Beasts was small, and of inferior
quality, but quite equal to the demand, which was very list;
the average price not more than 6d. per lb. An unusually
large quantity of Lamb-hogs were pitched. A great portion
of these were crews breeds from the north, of much better
quality than have hitherto appeared at our fairs; only a
small number of them were sold. The show of Leicester*
was not larger than in former years, and wore mostly dis-
posed of, at rather reduced rates from what they made in our
market a few weeks back ; prices varied from 30s. to 4.55. per
bead. The Horse fair was very inferior; but few good ani-
mals exhibited, and very little business doing.

LIVERPOOL, May 15.—We have bad a fair average supply
of stuck at our market to.day, with a numerous attendance
of customers, and prices much the same as of late. Beef,
51d. to 6d. per lb. Mutton, 71d. to 71d.
LOUTIL—The stock fair was tolerably well supplied with
both fat and store Beasts, of quite average qua'ity, but
very little business was done, the prices offered being
low, and the farmers not being diep'ised to submit.
Fat Sheep were rather plentiful, and met with a slow sale, at
somewhat lower pricer. Sheep in low condition could
scarcely be disposed of at any price. The Horse trade ruled
heavy, and the fair generally was very discouraging.
Nommen, May 16.—The show of Sc its and shorthorns
was not very large, still more than equal to the buyers.
Trade commenced very slowly. What were sold were at
barely last week's prices; and at the close of the market
nearly half remained unsold. Fat beasts a small show;
dull, at from 61. 9d. to 7s. 6d. per stone of 141bs The pens
were badly filled. Hoggets of all kinds were from Is. to 2s.
per head lower, and one-fourth unsold. Fat sheep, naked,
from Bs. to Ss. 6d. per stone, with a pot r show. Ewes and
lambs a dull show. No prices at present worth notice.
Store Pigs and fat Pork remain without alteration.
ROTHERHAM, May 15.—The show of both Beasts and
Sheep was large to this day's market, and of an excellent
quality. The attendance of buyers middling numerous, yet
the trade ruled only dull, and part both Beam and Sheep
left on hand, although lower prices were asked and forced to
be submitted to. Beef, 6s. to 7s. per stone. Mutters, 6d. to
61d. per lb.
SALFORD, May 17.—We were well supplied with Beasts
and Sheep to day, and the quality good, though the demand
was brisk tor prime Meat ; still the buyer hod a slight ad-
vantage, but scarcely a quotable one. A fair clearance
made.

MraaanaLD, May 17.—We had a fair supply of stock at
market this morning, of both descriptions, with a good attend-
ance of buyers, yet the market was heavy, and part turned
out unsold. Mutton, shorn, Sid.. ; in wool, 71d. per lb.
Lambe, 20s. to 2.5. per head. Beef, Gs. to 7s. per stone.—
Beast, 600; Sheep and Lambs, 4,700. We had e short sup-
ply of lean Cattle and Carers.

_
Ewan:aux, May 17.—The number of Cattle brought
forward to•day was fewer than last Wednesday. Prices were
very dull, and a great number were unsold. Top price,
7s. fld. per Dutch atone ; current, 6s. 6d. to 71. ; middling
and inferior, ss. 6d. to 6e. We had a large supply of Sheep
this morning, in comparison to last week, the number being
2,304. Sales very dull, and prices down 2s. a head, and
even at that sr duction a great many were turned out unsold.
Top price, 6d. per lb.; inferior, 41d. to sd. There was a
goodahow of Lambs. Top down. Prices, 24e. 6d. to 17s.

htuta OP CIRD MI.PUIET.—The Cattle were in excellent
condition. On the first day • good deal of business was done,
although sellers were obhged to submit to a redaction of
boat 10s. to 15s. on the value of an 81. beast.;
