COM.IfEIiCIAL & MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
2trer,o'Clock. The important business of the
settlement is on this morning, and, as generally be-
lieved, indeed as the state of prices testifies, there was
still a residue of " bear" accounts to be bought in,
although it is evident that even in the aggregate they
could not be of ht avy amount, or prices would be
forced still higher than they are or have
been. The bulk of transactions may therefore
be considered to have been disposed of, or
balanced gradually, within the lest ten days, when
prices began to take a more determined direction
upwards. We have had Co isols at 831 to 4, and they
were even done at 84 for money, whilst for the account
now opened they were quoted 4 lower. The
some " backwardatiott" between money and time
exists now, and whilst Consols are quoted 831 to 4
for money, they are only 84 to 1 for the June
account now commenced. Reduced Threes are 821
to Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents., 831. to
Exchequer Bills, 395. to 43s premium. Bank Stock,
189 to 192. The liquidation has passed over so far
without any casualty, nor, indeed, d t any apprehen-
sions appear to be entertained on that head, as, al-
though the differences, as measu ed by the fluctua
lions of prices, would be considerable, yet the general
Prudence with which speculators and dealers guard
against heavy loss e y options, or by turning their ac-
counts on the first aspect of a market unfavourable
to their opt,rations, prevents for the most part any
serious mischief from adver-e balances to be adjusted.
We have not much doing in foreign stocks, which
may be quoted as before with few variations com-
paratively. The high rates of Peruvian late yester-
day have not been sustained. The Bonds are now
called 30 to 2. Mexican, 16 to 4. Brazilian, 66 to 711.
