MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The news of the commencement of
hostilities by Denmark, against the insurgent duchies
of Schleswig and Holstein, and the defeat of the
latter, communicated in a late edition of the Daily
News, has tended slightly to depress the stock
market Consols were quoted at the commence-
ment of business 82 2to , from which they declined to
821 to 1, but are now better, at 827, to 3. Reduced
Threes, 81 tel. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,B2 to
1 Exchequer Bills, 38s. to 41s. premium. Bank
Stock, 184 to 7.
Foreign stocks are in rather better request, with
some improvement in the quotations. We have
Brazilian at 55 to 60. Mexican 141 to Peruvian,
are up to 27 to 9. Spanish Fives, 101 to 11 ; the
Threes, 181 to 191; Passive, 2•1 to I. Portuguese,
14 to 15. New Grenada, 12 to 14. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 37 to 9 ; the Fours, 53 to 5.
This is pay-day of the settlement, and is progress-
ing quietly.
'fhe two chief banks of Belgium, the Societ6
Generale, and the Banque de la Belgique, whose notes
were recently made legal tender, and the amount tobe
issued fixed by law, have made the first periodical pub-
lication of their transactions and situation, as pre-
scribed, from the 30th ult. to the 10th inst. It results
from the tables that the total note circulation of
the two banks had only attained to 19,733,150
francs, say for the first and greatest, 15,330,050 ; for
the latter, 4,403,100 francs. The aggregate of the
discount operations during the time amounted to
6,352.196 francs, and the number of bills discounted
to 5,335.

RAILWAYS.—The intelligence from Paris, com-
municated exclusively in a second edition of the
Daily News this morning, that the government
measure of French railway appropriation had been
rejected by the railway delegates, has given much
satisfaction, and created quite a sensation in the
market. We are without material alteration in
shires, but with a fair amount of business doing.
