MONEY MARXET.

WEDSZSDAY EVERIAG.
The English stock market was sensibly and favour.
ably affected in the conree of the day by the opera-
tions of the "Bears" reducing their floating accounts,
which canoed some movement in the home funds, and
prices advanced fully 1. Consols opened at 924 to
for money, and, after touching 1 they fell to 921 the
lest rice. For account they commenced at 924,
from which they rose to f inlets, and almost attained
that fraction buyer,, when they declined, and were
next and last done at 928. They closed 921 to 1 for
mosey, and 924 to # for account.

Commercial advice. from Quebec of the 2nd inst.,
report that, since the opening of the navigation, the
market had never been so bare of good superfine flare
From the orders requiring to be tilled for the Lower
Ports, as well es parcels wantel for shipment to
Europe, the price had advanced. The price was
getting up at Montrealoleo, and it was thought that
it might soon go to 25a, if supplies did not come for-
ward, as the bulk of what was then mating is

was expected that the Quebec market would he

Ageism from Prime Edward's Island state that
the General Assembly of that island was prorogued
to the 30th October. The harvest in the different
prate of the soustry was just commencing. It is
stated that the wheat crop throughout the island
would prove a very good coe, and, although the oats
were eat, they were "morally well filled. No
appeases, of the diners had bees met with is the
and the moped that wales% and also of tor-
ah?. never wore a better appearance.
Nova Scotia letters state that the weather continued
oppremively hot, the thermometer ranging during
the day from 84 to 96 degrees ia the shade. Many
tree were raging in the woods around Halifax, and
sassed a dense smoky haze, which completely filled
the atmosphere. This same weather, however, had
bees particularly propitious for harvesting and hay-
making. The potato crop was considered nearly out
of danger, and the wheat woo free from weevil It'
wasemilldently believed that the crops, hay excepted,
would prove more productive and more profitable
than for the last three years.
From New Brunswick we have no news of parti-
cular interest. In some quarters fires continued to
rage in tho woods; and latterly, as no rain had fallen
he some time, they had 'pried to a rather alarming
=tent.

-The latest accounts from the Brasile extend to the
17th July from Rio, the 6th August from Peruse-
home sad the 81 August tram Bahia.
The oommereiel news linen Rio is not of mush im-
porters:le, and is only a lbw days later than that pre-
viously received. The womb of the improved
rimard for safes is Europe bad not bad the effect
upon the market that might have besa expected, and
rites remained about the same as previous to the
arrival of the June whet ors the 23rd July. The
comparative =poets of the three principal products
for the first six months of the last three years, were-
Wks is 1849, 780,764 baps; in 1848, 850,718 bags;
in 1847, 859,094 bags. Sugar in 1849, 3,043 ewe;
in 1848. 3,645 cues; in 1847, 3,544 cute Rides in
1849, 183,281; in 1849, 128,880 ; in 1847, 187,816.
From which we adonis the fallowing molts :-The
quality dooffee exported during the first six months
of 1849 was 8.222 per cent. less than in the same
pssiod of 1848, bat the average currency price having
lima 8.703 per out. more in 1849 than in 1848, it fol-
lows that the value of the coffee exported from Ist of
January to 30:h Jane, 1849, exceeded that of the six
months of 1848 by nearly one half per cent. The
new crop is understood to be considerably deficient in
quantity, but very superior in quality.
In consequence of the diminution in the production
of sugar in that part of Brazil, its exportation is an-
wally falling off hem Rio. The quantities received
there daring the past season of 1818 49 was only
6,584 eases, and 13,354 boxes and barrels, which
slowed a diminution on the average of eve year.,
suiting in 1849, of 4,277 came, and 7,491 boxes sad
barrels. The new euzars were just commenclog to
arrive. Exchange on the 26th July was 25d.
The impoets of mottos], linen, and woollen pine
goods had loop pace with those of last year, but wen
ra qoantity about 30 per cent. below those of 1847.
At Pernambuco, on the sth August, the weather
continued favourable foe the growing crops. A few
wales cf sugar in bags bad been made for whits at
1,460 rs. to 2,500 raw.; brown at 1,800 re M
1,900 es.; white, in CSWII. at 1,200 re ahem
Cerro; brown, ditto, at 1,200 re. ditto. Cottle
was in request at 4,800 re. to 4,900 re ; hides were
quoted at 100 to 1021 rs. Freights were dull, and
cargo was difficult to be had; one vessel had been
tale,ll up for cotton to Liverpool at 9-18 d., and ano-
ther small vessel at 40s. for oases and 35.. for bop to
the Channel. Exchange was 25d. The exports from
let Nov. to 31st July were: cotton 28,183 bags,
against 17,933 bags same period last year; sugar
47,800 toes, against 46,200 tons same period last
year; bides, 48 849, against 69,828 same period last
year; hone 22,000, against 2,100 same period last
year; rem 3,698 pipes, against 408 pipes same period
last year.
Babia advice* of the 6th August state that the
market for sager was dull, though very little wee
Marred for sale. The pries. paid for fair average
lots were 2,000 re. to 2,500 n., equal to 18s. 103. and
11s. par ewe free on board. The receipts amounted
to 70,808 cases, against 86,380 same penal Feet year.
The receipts of cotton to the lst Avast were 17,887
hop! Lens inquiry bad smog op for this staple at
4.600 re. equal to 4.. 13-1005. free on board. For
hides the quotations were, dry, 110 re, equal to nit
o. b ,dry gaited, 86re, equal to 21d., fl o. b. Tee
supply rf coals was large, and the article dielault of
eels at 8,000 to 9,000 re. In exchange there was little
doing, quoted 23/d. to 25d. The scarcity of export
produces had reduced the rates of freight to 35.. fur
the North of Europe, and 32,. Bd. to 355. for the
South. The stooks( f British manufactures were heavy,
and sales were being made by public suction,
pertisularly of cotton fabrics. The weather was fa-
vourable for the standing crops. The exports from
the let October to the Ist August for the last three
years were : of cotton in 1849, 18,243 bags ; same
}.p
lod 1848, 8,741 bags ; same period 1847, 8,878
Saga in eases, hoses, and barrel', in 1849,
