MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The funds arc all better this
morning. We have Consols at 83; to for
account ex-dividend, which are equal to 84: to
3 with the dividend on. This improvement was
chiefly owing to the expectation that the Bank
f England would reduce its minimum rate of
discount to-day. Such has turned out to be the
fact. The directors have at this moment
of writing come to the resolution of patting down the
minimum rat., from 4 to 3} per cent. Reduced
Threes are 83; to . The Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 84; to Exchequer Bills, 395. to 425. pre-
mium. Bank Stock, 191 to 3.

The expectation, which appears to be more confi-
dently entertained in some quattcrc, from the tenor of
heir advices by the Caledonia, that the treaty between
the United States and Mexico would certainly be
ratified by the latter, has somewhat improved the
quotations for Mexican stock. It is now called 16
to New Grenada remain 111 to 121. Bra-
zilian, 66 to 9. Peruvian, 30 to 5. Spanish are
also better, notwithstanding the departure last
evening of Senor Isturitz, the ambassador. The Fives
are now quoted 12 to d ; the Threes, 221 to 3.
I Passive, 3to Portaguese, 16 to 17. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 42) to 31 ; the Fours, 63 to 4.
The commercial accounts from the United States
are favourable generally. It is observed, however,
that one consequence of the low prices of
cotton and other produce will be that the
imports from this country will be materially
dimin'shed for the next twelve months. Money
was rather more tight in New York, but the
banks were well supplied with specie, notwithstand-
ing the large draughts of it for remittance to Europe
of late.

The Morning Chronicle, under the Money Market
head, refers to a report as current yesterday in the
City, of 2.'000 Russians having enured and taken
possession of Memel. Letters from that city have
been received to-day, of the Bth instant, which do not
contain one word about such an occurrence.

RAILWAYS.—The share market has improved to-
day, and quutations in some respects are firmer, and
rather higher. Calls, however, continue to keep
down such stocks as London ar.d North Western
New Qrs., Great Western 171. shares, and North
British Thirds. We have free sellers of Btighton 6
per Cents ,at 1 pm. Lancashire and Yorkshire stock
is dull sale. Groat Northt ran are firm, at quotutions,
and se, mto be rising, as three are so many " bears"
in the market, and the price is so low. French shares
are better.
