MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'aock.—The stock exchange is in all the bustle
of the settlement of account this morning. Consols
have fluctuated in such a trifling degree, and remain
for money so nearly the same as yesterday, that it is
found somewhat diflieult to decide whether it is a "bull"
or " bear" account, although opinion rather inclines
to the former. We have the somewhat rare occurrence

of late of a contango betwixt money and time stock
of no less than 1 per cent., the money quotations
being 861 to I', whilst for the account now
open, and fixed for the 7th September, they are called
861 to 1. Money stock is therefore ir. good supply,
and so far must tell rather against the speculators
fur the rise. Reduced Threes, 86 to 4. ihree-and-
a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to 1. E;chequer
375. to 425. premium.
We are almost without business in foreign stocks,
and quotations with scarcely an alteration. Danish
are called 63 to 70. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
43 to 4; the Fours, 69 to 71. Belgian 68 to 72.
Russian, 98 to 100. Spanish Fives, 11 to 1 ; the

121. Peruvian, 30 to 3. Chilian, 83 to 6. Brazi-
lian, 69 to 71.

CORN.—BARNSLEY, August 9.—The market ruled
dull, at a reduction of from Is. to ls. Gd. per 3 bushels, and
even then very little business was done. Wheat sold at
from 20s. 6d. to 225. per 3 bushels. In other grain nothing
doing
BOSTON, August 9.—We have been well supplied with
Wheat at market today, but the trade was without anima.
tion, and :•usiness cooed dull, at 2s. decline. Very little
doing in Opts or Beans, and no change in the value of either
article. Wheat, red, 451. to 49e. ; white, 46e. to 525. Oats,
15s. to 21s. Beans, 365. to 38e. per qr.

CHICHFSTRR, August 9.—Our market was moderately
supplied with Wheat to-day, for which there was not much
demand. A few parcels were disposed of at about the prices
of last week, but ,o have effected sales to any extent, lower
prices mu.: have been submitted to. No alteration to notice
in the value of other grain. Wheat, 48.. to 54*. Barley,
28.. to 32.. Oats, 22a. to 245. Beans, 38s. to 401. Peas,
40*. to 420. Flour, 395. per sack.
HAYWARD'S HEATH, August 9.—We have ► very wet
day, and Wh, at in consequence wia held and sold at 2s. per
qr. advance from last market-day ; very little other grain
offering. Wheat, white, 141. to 141. 102 ; red, 131. to
131. 10s. Barley, 264 to 281. Oats, 192. to 21.. Beans,
341. to 36.. Pea., 38s. to 395.

Newcaertn, August B,—The weather still presents WI-
Nettled appearesee. On Sunday night we bad a good deal of
rain ; yesterday was fine throughout, but to-day we have a
return of moisture. At our market this morning we had a
moderate show of Wheat from thl growers, but having
several parcels fresh in since Saterday, the market opened
somewhat heavily, but towards the conclusion more disposi-
tion to do busin. se was manifested, and, by sub-
mitting to • decline of Is. per qr., a pretty general
clearance was effected, extra red commanding 66e. per qr.;
general runs, 84s. to 6.55.; and white. from Ms. to bls , ac-
cording to quality. Fleur was held with much firmness, and,
there being little ht re at present, lull rates were amply rue.
tain.d. Rye nominally the some. Grinding Barley must
he noted Is. per qr. dearer, and in good request. In Malt
little melee, but prices retrain without change. Beans and
Peas rather d , and the same may be said of Oats.
Rogrottu, Angus• 9.—Our market to-day was in a very
unsettled state, owing to the rain and stormy weather.
Farmers not inclined to sell at the present prices, and buyers
not inclined to give more money. We b■d two or three
samples of new Wheat, which sold at 645. to .565. Wheat,
48s to 60s. Barley, 295. to 325. ; grinding, 245. to 295. Oats,
20s. to 275. Beans, 30s. to 365. Peas, 345. to 38s. Rye,
281. to 30s.

Du lath, August B.—We have had much heavy rain since
Friday, and harvest operations are retarded. At this day's
market the tend/ ney of prices was generally upwards, and
we must advar.ce our quotations 6,1. for Wheat, and 31 per
barrel for Oats. Flour was also -6d. per cwt. blither, and
Oatmeal was In more request. Indian Corn was Is. per qr.
lower. The following was the currency : Wheat, white, 30s.
to 381 ; red, 265. to 345. per 2801bs. Oats, 13s. Gd. to 14s. 6d.
per 1961 b. Barley, 14s. to per 2241 b. Sere, 10s. 6d. to
12s. pr 2'241h. Oatmeal, 11s, 6d. to 134.6 d. per cwt. Rape-
seed, 211. to 265. per 2241 b. Flour, seconds, 17s. to 18s. per
cwt. Indian Corn, 329. to 365. per 480ths.

HOPS.—CRANDROOK, August B.—The past week
hat again been very unpropitious for the Hops, and they, are
not looking quite so well ; in fact, it this weather continues
a week or to °longer, the crop will become much short of what
was expected. Wheat cutting has become general; and
what we have examined feels light in the sheaf.
WORCESTKIL, August O.—There was no business doing in
our market on Saturday, not even at the ruinously low
prices which now pre♦ail. The cold nights which we have
lately had prevent the Hop making much progress, and the
duty for the district is now done at 18,0001.
WARTLINO, August B.—The weather has continued un-
favourable for the Hops, with ea-seedy any exception, since
our last report ; and the wonder is, that they get on so well as
they do. When we are favoured with a fine warm day they
appear to thrive. We have one garden that is set at 17 cwt.
per acre; but, generally speaking, 10 or 12 cwt. will he much
nearer the mark. We are quite clear of vet min, black, end
the mane evils resulting from an attack of 8y; but, as a set
off, the Hops have suffered much more severely than usual
from wind and wet. Had we not experienced the latter,
there is no doubt we should have grown more Hops than
ever renumbered.

CATTLE.—BEVERLEY, August 9.—A good show
of Beasts, part of which were foreign, but a rather short
supply of Sheep and Lambs; business was rather brisk, all
the Sheep and Lambs, and nearly all the Beasts being sold.
Prices : Beef, 6e. 6d. to 7a. per stone. Mutton, 6id , and
Lamb, Gd. to 61d. per lb.
- - - -

DUDLEY FAI n.—The weather wai very unfavourable, end
the supply of Cattle, Sheep, and Lambs, was very indif-
ferent. Beef fetched 51d. to 6d. per lb. Mutton and Lamb,
61d. to 7d. Pigs were scarce and dear. There was a nume-
rous show of Horses, of inferior description, but little busi-
ness generally was done throughout the fair.
ExermAueust 9.—There was a good show of Beef,
and, though this was not wholly sold out, yet was there a
fair stroke of business done. Among the fat Cattle le't un-
sold were some Oxen from north-west Devon, for which 261.
each was asked. With respect to fat Sheep, some lots of
prime Withers were turned out unsold, the owners not
yielding in the price recently obtained for Sheep of this de-
scription. The dul'est part of the market was that for store
Cattle, in which, althoueh there was a good show, there
was very little doing. The quotations for fat Bullocks were
from 50s. to Mk per cwt., or from 91. to 10a. 3d. per score.
Butchers' Calves were in fair supply, at from 6d. to 6d. per
lb. The quotations for fat Sheep were from 51d. to 61d. per
lb., and for fat Lamps, from 51d. to 6jd. per lb.

Mott FAtit.—The fair of Moy was large, and very well at
tended by graziers and cattle dealers fern the surrounding
neighbourhood and d stint parts. Compar,d with the pre-
vious fair, the number of black Cattle was not so great ; yet
the gales let re pretty bri,k, and buyers and sellers seemed
generally satisfied, although there was a reduction
from the prices obtained in the July fair. None but
cattle in good condition maintained their value, and these were
eagerly sought after and quickly bought up. A small man-
tee of fat Sheep and Lambs were sold at former prices. No
Pigs for sale. The Horse fair was well supplied with a good
description of cattle. Horses for farming purposes and for
draught sold well, at prices superior to the last three or
four fairs. _ _

--- -----
NEWCASTLE, August 8.-We have had upwards of 700
head of fat Beasts and about6,2oo head of Sheep and Lembo
On offer here to-day ; their general quality, time of year
considered, was a fair average. About 300 of the cattle
arrived by sea from the northern counties of Scotland.
Regarding the demand, the Beef trade was in a depressed
state, prices receding from 3d. to 6d. per stone from last
week, and at the close of business there was more remained
unsold than ever there was on any former occasion. The
supply of Sheep and Lambs leas about 6,200 bead. The
Mutton trade was far from being active, yet wedders of
the best description made 61. per lb., and part left unsold.

good demand for the better qualities. Prices: Beasts, 61. to

to Is. per bead above 6d. per lb., sinking offal.
REDDITCH FAIR, August 7.-There was a good a'teodance
of buyers ; the quantity of stock was large, and much of it
very fine; there was a good sale for prime fat cattle. at
respectable prices (of which sort there was more than has
ever herr, seen in that locality) ; barren and Store were few
in request. Out of a fine show of Sheep and Limbs a good
quantity was sold. Pigs were thosidered too dear, conse-
quently but few went off. The show of Horses 6110 sou
more numerous than formerly.
ROTHERHAM, August 7.-Tbe supply of both Beasts and
Sheep was good, and the attendance of buyers numerous,
which c' used a brisker demand, and last week's quotations
were fully maintained. Beef, 6s. 6d. to 7s. per stone;
Mutton, 6d. to Old. per lb. Beasts, 24G; Sheep, 2,300.

rather above 6d.; Lambs, 61d. per lb. ; the best store
Wither Sheep, for turnips, making from 355. to 461. each;

in market, and those sold remarkably high.

3a. 6d. to 4e. Bd., per stone of 81te., sinking offal.
Sr. JAMES'S FAIR, KELso.-At this fair there was •
small supply of grasi,l; Cattle, fur which the demand was
dull, at priors of recent markets. There were a good many
mileh Cows, which were selling slowly, at from N. to 121.
The Horse market sou well supplied, amongst which were •
good many useful Horses, both for saddle and harness, which
were in piqued, at fair prices. The greater portion of the
Horses were, however, of an inferior description.
Tsth HILL Feta (Warsnraa.)-This fair took plate on
Monday last. Sheep were inn ther limited numbers, and
sold well, realising about 2a. a head more than at Wagtail.
Wether Sheep were scarce, and sold at 38e. each. Ewes
