MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The revenue returns for the quarter
and the Sear just ended, come as a :ether agreeable
surprise upon the City, where the apprehensions and
anticipations have pointed to a much heavier deficit
than what now is shown to be the case. lu-
st( ad of a decrease reported to be forthcoming on the
quarter pow ended of 24 millions, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year, it is felt to be a
sensible relief to find it less than 11 millions. That
such is the general impression on the Stock Ex-
change may be inferred from the fact of the
improvement in public securities. Consols are now 8.3
to for present transfer, and 851 to Z for the opening.
These prices are in advance of those of yesterday by
per Cent., and the rise is the more important as it is
not the result of any speculation, but occurs in a
market of steady ordinary dealings. Reduced Threes
are 8.31 to Z. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86f

differences. On merchandise the rate of loans is to
