MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o' Clock.—The stock market opened rather
favourably, with Console at 811 to k for money
and account; but the discouraging tenor of the finan-
cial as well as political intelligence from Paris, and
from other Continental parts as well, has already
reduced the quotations to aq to 1. From Amster-
dam on the Bth instant it is stated that, notwith-
standing the improved appearance by advices
then received, of public securities on the Stock
Exchange here, prices continued in decline there.
The reported stoppage of Gouin and Co.'s bank
at Paris had created much uneasiness, and contri-
buted to the depression, but the chief cause was
doubtless the declaration of several more failures.
Numerous sellers attempted to force sales, but
succeeded only in a few instances. The unfortunately
official announce.-- by the French Government
;.s inabili the demands of • '-

of its _ lity to pay the ac . the Savings
Bank depositors in specie, and its resolution, ;in
consequence, to pay part in Treasury bonds, at several
months after date, and part by inscriptions, in a new 5
per cent stock, with a reservation in favour of small
depositors of 100 francs in specie, is considered tobe
calculated very much to increase the distrust with
which the public securities will be viewed. This
measure, at a moment, too, when a new loan
(or say the amount remaining to be
emitted of the last loan authorized, of which
the Rothschild's contracted for 250 millions) for
100 millions of francs at five per cent. is ordered to
be opened for public subscription, whilst at the same
time the army L 9 to be increased by 100,000 men,
can scarcely fail, it is thought, in conjunction
to damage the credit and embarass the movements of
the government in the sense of order and peace.
Under these circumstances, the funds are heavy, at
the prices quoted, but the transactions are extremely
limited from the indisposition to operate without a
more calm consideration of the changed and changing
aspect of affairs. Exchequer Bills are 265. to 30s.
