COMMERCIAL N MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—Consols opened at 80: to :, with a
quiet market, but have recentl7 improved to 80k
buyers for money and account. fhe market is re-
covering from the effects of the large money sales
made yesterday by the Bank broker and the
apprehensions sought to be created about the
Kennington-common meeting of Monday by the
government organ. It is now believed that
there will be stock enough forthcoming for
delivery on the account-day, and that therefore
it will be found the speculators for the fall
have not oversold themselves, as so generally
imagined. The contango for catryng over to the
next account is stated to have been established in one
transaction at s only. Reduced Threes are 78: to
ex dividend. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 79;
to :ex dividend. Bank Stock, 183 to 6ex dividend,
Exchequer Bills, 395. to 425. premium.
The Dutch stocks come better from Amsterdam,
where the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted
36; the Fours, 53) A slight improvement may be
noticed here also in them, theTwo-and-a-HalfperCents.
being now called 33 to 5 ; the Fours, 31 to 3. Brazilian

Our trade accounts from Manchester this morning
are extremely unfavourable. Houses here, who have
recently had orders executed in that market, are ad-
vised by their agents that the same sort of goods
may now be had there at a considerable reduction of
prices.
It is stated from Amsterdam, on the 4th in-
stant, that Prince Metternich arrived, last Friday,
at Arnhim, and put up at the Hotel Cour
d'Holland. A slight indisposition prevented the prince
from continuing his route to Rotterdam, where he
would embark for London.
