COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two (1 Cock.—Tbe important affairs of pay-day are
occupying, the broken and jobbers this morn-
ing. So far, the liquidation has not been
attended with any casualty, at least none of the
slightest importance. Stocks are flat, and in dec:ine,
as might be expected oa the issue of a settle-
ment in which the speculators for the rise had rather
the worst. We quote Consols now as low as 86 to
for money, and 86,1 to 1 for account, the market ex-
tremely heavy. Reduced Threes, 86 to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 861 to Exchequer
Bills, 38s. to 425. premium. Bank Steck, 197 to 9.
We are still with so few transactions in foreign
stocks, that quotations can be regarded as nomi-
nal only. We have Mexicans marked at
16,1 to 17. Chilian, 83 to 6. Brazilian, 69 to 71,

RAILWATS.—The share market is quiet, and
little business doing, this being pay-day in Consols.
Quotations ate much as yesterday. London and
North Westerns, at 123 to 5, are better, from the
settlement of the differences with the engine-drivers.
Great Northerns flat, at 9: toy die. Birmingham
and Oxfords are better, at 231. Brightens as before.

CORN.- MARK-LANE. - There was very little
English Wheat fresh up for this morning's market; but the
supply of foreign was large. Our millers were far from
eager Foyers, and Monday's rates were with difficulty sup-
ported in the limited amount of business transacted. Very
little was done in either bonded Wheat on the spot
or cargoes to arrive. Barley was is fair request, and quite
as dear. Arrivals of foreign Oats have again been consider-
able ; and, although the demand was icr from brisk, previous
rates were maintained. Beans and Peas unaltered.
BANBURY, August 10.-This market has been well sup-
plied with Wheat to-day, which sold slowly at prices ls. ta
per qr. lower then last week. Spring Corn as before
quoted. Wheat. ss. Bd. to 61. 2d. per bushel. Barley, 30e.
to 345. per qr. Beans, 4s. 10d. to ss. 4d. per bushel. Oats,
23s to 275. per qr.
BRIGHTON, August 10.-The Wheat trade was not very
lively, at about the rates of this day week. Barley, Oats,
Bean., and Peas steady. Wheat, white, 141. to 141. 10s.;
red, 131. to 131. se. Earle,. 28s. to 30.. Oa's, 191. to 201.
Beans, 38s. to 361. Peas, 335. to 395.
BRISTOL, August 10. We have received this week 1.950
qrs. Wheat from Odessa, and 1,060 qre. foreign Barley. The
supply from Ireland and coastwise is 912 qrs. Wheat, 62 qrs.
Barley, 1,207 qrs. Oats, and 408 sacks of -Flour. The woo.
thee ku been showery, and generally unfavourable he
harvest, but a goad breadth of Wheat has been cut, and
day is favourable for carrying, with • higher temperature
and barometer. Notwithstanding the late general anxiety!
respecting the weather, and reports of disease in potatoes, the I
demand for Four has been dull, at 375. to 40s. per rack for
seconds ; no barrel Flour or Irish fines offering, and there
his been no desire evinced by millers to get into stock of
Wheat, or to exceed last week's prices of 465. to 601. per qr.
for red; 50s. to 565. for white, according to the qualities de-
livered by our farmers. There was a fair supply of Wheat,
and no reduction in price would be submitted to, but the sale
was not brisk. A sample of new white Wheat, of fair qua-
lity and condition, was offered at 60s. Importers and
holders of foreign Wheat are very firm in demanding 465. to
488. for hard, sad 48s. to 62a. for soft Russian. Fine Polish
Odessa scarce, at 545. to 66e. per 4841b5. No English malting
Barley offered. A parcel of Good Seale suld at 324. to 84a.
ter qr. ; Danish, 28s. to 295. ; Irish grinding Barley, 275, to
28s. 6d. per 4001 be. Welsh black Oats, 20s. to 21s. per qr.;
Irish, 21s. per 3201b5. ; Irish white Oats, 21s. to 224., with a
poor demand. Beans, 345. to 42a. per qr. ; Egyptian, 26a.
to 283.
Devlin, August 10.-We bad again a very good supply
of Wheat, for which the farmer asked last week's prices ;
hut, the attendance of buyers being limited, a decline of
from Is. to 24. per quarter was obliged to be submitted to,
and, although the trade was pretty good, Hai considerable
quantity remained unsold. Grinding Barley was rather
more in request. Gate and Beans were in abort supply, and
were rather dearer. La Peas nothing doing. The 641
lowing are the puma prior: Wheat, while, per quarter,

625. to 565.; best' re& 40s. to 645.; middling, 455. to 481. inferior, 38s. to 445. Barley, 263. to 335. Oats, 21s. to 265.; Beans, old, 425. to 465.; new, 40r. to 465. P •ss, 363. to 465.

datmagonovon, August B.—The we►ther here has been
very unrettled for tome time, and has had a corresponding
influence in our elm-market. There was an average
amount of lsuriaess transacted to-day, and priers remained
firm. Red Wheat, 5.15. to 515.; white, 5.55.

GODALMIN 0 August o.—There was no quotable difference
from last week in the price of Wheat at the market to-day;
but the trade was rather brisk, and the supply only very
moderate. Wheat, red, 48s. to 625. ; white, 621. to 565.;
fine, 68s. to 625. Barley, 255. to 295. Peas, 364. to 40e.
Oats, 19s. to 245. per qr.

LOUTH, August 9.1-There was no change in the prices of
grain of any description front those of last week, and the
busi.e,s done was to a very limited ext,nt. There were
plenty of good Wheats offering. Wheat, 461. to 515. Bar-
ley, 265. to 30r. Oats, 16s. to 20s. Beans, 355. to 41s. per qr.

cheaper.

StocKrox-ors-TEss, August 9.-During the past week
the west her has been showery, with bright sunshine, sod occa-
sional heavy rains • to-day it is very unsettled, with thunder
shower.. We had a I.rge supply of Wheat to this day's
market from the farmers, and, having a good attendance of
buyers, the whole met a fair demand, at last week's cur-
renc-. For granaried and free foreign there is a steady
demand at our quotations. Barley met with more inquiry
for grinding. Oats were a dull sale, and Beans in demand,
at Lull prices. Flour without alteration. Present prices

WATERFORD, August o.—ln consequence of the dull se-
counts from the English markets, most lir ides in the trade
can be purchased on rather lower terms than at the close of
last week.

EDINHURGH, August 9.—A better supply of Scotch
Wheat to-day than for some weeks past. At the beginning
farmers asked an advance of event shillings per qr. This
checked the sale, and ultimately the trade closed dull, at lu.
week's rates. Buyers of Wheat were cautious to-day, but a
large business has been done in bonded,at tally former prices.
There was hardly any Scotch Barley, and its value rem ins
nominally unaltered. The recent arrivals of foreign have
almost all been cleared off, and prices are now well main-
tained. Oats were Ina sought alter than lost week, and
'secondary qualities are the turn cheaper. Beans in better
supply, and le. lower. Wheat, top, 641. ; aver.tge, 59t. Id.

GLASGOW, August 9.—There are scarcely any arrivals to
the Clyde since this day week, with the exception of two
Canadian vessels just up, whose cargoes are not yet reported.
Via Clraegemouth, the 'applies consist of 3,445 qrs. Wheat,
1,%0 qrs. Barley, 300 qrs. Oats, and 500 auks Flour coast-
wise ; and 1,050 qrs. Barley direct from abroad. Trade
during the week has been steady but not active, caused
chiefly by the choice of good samples, and prices of a 1
articles have been firmly sustained. The weather
this day or two has been showery ; and, though previously
lair, there has been a want of strong sunshine, so requisite
for the ripening of the crops. There are reports about the
Potatoes in this neighbourhood being partial', blighted ;
but the risease is by no means general in Scotland es yet.
At this day's market there was a lair consumptive demand
tor Wheat at the full prices of last week, and barrel Flour
was rather dearer ; some fresh Canadian realising 30s. per
barrel, ex-ship. For Oats and Oatmeal previous rates
were readily obtained. There was not much Barley
offering, and an advance of 6d. per boll was made. A
little new Bere from Dithlin sold at 21s. per 320ths.

and Smith report that the accounts from Mid and Bast Kent

CATTLE, etc.-SMITHFIELD, Two o'Clock.-The
supply of "huts is moderate ; the demand is, however, but
small, consequently trade is slow, at Monday's quotations.
The number of Sheep and Lambs is large, and trade very
heavy ; a clearance cannot be effected, although lower rates
are submitted to. Calves are not so plentilul as they have
been; there are quite sufficient, however, for the demand;
indeed, scarcely anything reaches 41. Bd. From Holland
and Germany we have 151 Brute, 740 Shell), and 243
Calves; Scotland, 240 Beasts; France, 28; and 108 Mitch
Cows from the Home Counties.

NEWARK, August 8.-The fair happening last week has
caused the fat market to be thinly supplied with Beef and
Mutton ; prices as late quotations. Beef, from 6a. 9d. to 70.
per stone. Mutton, 6d. to WI. per lb.
EDINBURGH; August 9.-The Sheep and Lamb mark*
this n °ruing was abundantly supplied. Best aged Wedders
were in demand. Such description sold more freely, at
prices similar to last week; inferior qualities dull in sale.
Pi ices for best quality, 6d.; middling qualities, Md. ; inferior ,
6d. per lb., sinking offal,. A good many interior Sheep lef
over unsold. Lambe were plentiful; what were 01 good quali,
found purchasers at good prices, viz., Bs. to 195. a head.
A few good Lambs were aloe turned out unsold. The Cattle
market was not so well supplied ; the few that were of good
quality were soon disposed of, at from 7.. to 7s. 6d. ; interim
g.. to 6s. Bd. per Dutch stone, sinking orals, and nearly a
were sold.
FALKIRK. TRYST, August 8.-The first of these great an-
nual fairs commenced to-day with the sale of cattle. The
stock most sought after was small Highland State, which
cculd be bought for little money ; but the better description a
suffered a reduction of from 15s. to 11. a-head, beside
travelling expenses, between buying and selling. Not only
were the drovers losing this amount of money, bet stacks
bought in the month of May were also disposed of at a loss
of 20s. a-head, besides keep. The following are a few of
the lots that were disposed of:-A very good lot of twenty
three-year-old West Highland Bullocks were bought by a
dealer. in Wigtonshire, at 8!. 15e. a head; the same
dealer bought twenty two-year-olds at 71- per head.
Mr. Clark, of Alva, sold twenty West Highland Cows at
51. 12s. a head. A lot of eighty three and four year old
Morayshire dots was sold by Mr. Feared, Stettin, at
111. 10s. a head. A lot of forty-four two-year-old Skye
heifers, bought by a gentleman from Dunthrieeshire at 21.1
a head ; 120 bullocks, of the same breed, one-year-old, at 21.
The show of fit was very limited, and the prices per Dotal'
stone were : For the best, 7s. ed. ; second quality, 7e., ml
down to Cc ed.
