MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Clock.—The intelligence from Berlin of the
ratificationot the armistice betweenllenmark and Ger-
many by the Prussian government, given in the Daily
News exclusively, with the exception of one other
morning journal, has afforded much satisfaction
in the City as an assurance of the continuance of
peace on the Continent. Upon the funds it ex-
ercised at first no particular influence beyond
rendering the market more firm. Consols
have been nearly all the morning 87;„ alternately
buyers and sellers, but they are uow in advance at
87?, to 1 for money and to-morrow. Reduced Threes
87 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to Z.
Exchequer Bills, are better at 425. to 455. premium.
Bank Stock, 1921 to 41.
The feature in the foreign market is the continued
rise in Russian stock, now quoted 97 to 100. Scarcely
a week has passed for some time back without an
improvement in the prices of this security. Dutch
Two-and-a-lialf per Cents. are 44 to 6; the Fours,
69 to 72. Danish, 66 to 70. Spanish Fives, 111
to 12 ; the Threes, 211 to 2 ; Passive, 21 to 34.
Portuguese, 17 to 18. Mexican, 16.1 to 171. New
Grenada, 12 to 13. Brazilian, 67 to 9. Chilian,
80 to 2. Venezuela, 15 to 18.

Paper money is taking, or likely to take, an ex-
traordinary extension in Belgium. The Bank of
the Societe Generale has commenced, as duly
authorized by the government, the issue of
notes tor five francs, say rather more than
four shillings each, to supply the want of small
change which was experienced in various parts of
that country.
The weekly board of the Bank of England has just
broken up, without making any alteratitn in the
minimum rate of discount.

POTATOES.= -As the last proof of the absence of the
potato disease thi• year, we may state that in the Bazaar,
the potato merchants are glad to get off their stock at 10d.
per stone.—Glasgow ConstiftdionaL—Potatoes, says the
Edinburgh Weekly Register, in general have still a healthy
and vigorous appearance, and the accounts from different
parts of the country are to the same purport. In Inverness-
shire, however, we learn from the Courier that the plants
are income districts showing symptoms of the " curl."

CORN.—BosToN, July 12.—A small show of Wheat
to-day, and a dull trade at le. to 2a. decline, No change in
the value of Oats. Beans in short supply, and the turn lower.
Wheat, red, 435. to 47g.; white, Vie. to 495. Oats, 15s. to

.
BASINGSTOKE, July 12.-There was a brisk sale for
Wheat, at the prices previously quoted. The trade in Bar-
ley ruled at a decline for inferior sorts. Oats, from 6d. to
Is. per qr. less. Best conditioned samples of Wheat sold at
555. per qr. ; secondary, 415. to 435. Barley best qualities
345. ; inferior, 30s. to 31s. Oats, 2.55. ; sweet feed, 19s. Bean;
nominally quoted at 375. to 445. Peas unaltered.
CHIONESTER, July 12.-There was a thin attendance at
our market to day. There was little disposition on the part
of millers to pureness Wheat except on lower terms, which
the farmers were unwilling to submit to, consequently little
business was done. We have scarcely any other grain at
market. Peas nominally as before. Wheat, 465. to 525.
Barley, 28s. to 325. Oats, 225. to 24a. Peas, 38s. to 40s.
Beans, 38s. to 40s. Flour, 355. to 365. per sack.
NALESWORTR, July 11.-We had a good show of Wheat,
and a very heavy sale, at a decline of fully ls. per quarter.
In other grain nothing doing. Weather now tine, but we
have had on unsettled week. Wheat, 40s. to 50s. per qr. ;
Barley, 284. to 305.; Beans and Peas, 345. to 38e.
HAYWARD'S Haste, July 12.-A very slender attendance,
with short supply of Wheat. The little that was shown was
held at last week's prices, which the buyers refused to give,
and but little business was done. White wheat, 121. 1011. to
131.; red, 111. 10s. to 121.; Barley, 265. to 30e. ; Oats, 20s. to
21e. ; Beans, 345. to 36a.; Peas, 36e. to 385.
NEWCASTLE, July 11.-The weather upon the whole has
been exceedingly favourable since this day se'nnight, Sunday
excepted, when it rained throughout the day. At our mar-
ket this morning we had an extremely moderate show of
Wheat from the growers ; but, having rather more offering
from the coast, with a fair quantity of foreign on sale, the
business done was of a limited character, and only the
choieest qualities maintained their value, other descriptions
being rather cheaper. For Flour there was leas inquiry, and
in Come easel, where vessels required clearing, a reduction of
about 6d. per-eaek bad to be submitted to. In Rye little
passing, although offered at a decline of Is. per qr. Grind-
Barley unaltered, and the same may be said of Malt.
Beans and Peas excite little attention ,• and to effect Was of
the Wet, it would be nooerary to mks a slight oosotrion.
