MONEY MARKET.

Fain: BYZNISO.
The English funds at the early part of the day fully
maintained the prices of yesterday, but under the de-
pression =mid by a want of animations and a very
limited amount of business, they drooped towards
the close. Consuls opened at 921 to 4, and without
other variation clored at 921 to 4, both for money, and
the 11th instant. The Three per Cents. Bedewed ad-
vanced from the first price 924 to 4. The Three-and-
s-Quarter per Cents. were done variously from 934
to 944, 94 marking the operations.
Exchequer Bills are without variation at 395. and
425. prem. Long Annuities are done at 816 16 and
4. Bank Stock at 200. India Bonds at 73• and
765. prem.
The foreign market presented. no novelty, the
transactions being on the smallest scale, and without
material variation. The actual business comprises :
Danish Three per C.nt. B 'reds, 1825, at 721 and s.
Mexican ex. coupons at 274; ditto, Small, at 28.
Peruvian Deferred at 17, 4, and 17. Russian at 1071
and 1064, ex (ay. Spanish Fire per Cents. at 18 for
money, and at 18 and 174 for account. Four per
Cent. Dutch Certificates, at 844.
The premium on gold yesterday at Paris wu 10
per mille, which at the English mint price of
31. 17• 104 d. per entice for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.391; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 421, it follows that gold is
0.11 per oent. dearer in London than in Pails.
By advice, to-day from Hamburg the price of gold
is 436 per mark, which, at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.101; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London at short being 13.104, it follows that gold
is 0.11 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
Advices from Amsterdam. of the sth, state that the
public tale of coffee on the 6th was expected to go off
at the same rates as the recent sale at Rotterdam,
and that even a slight advance was not unlikely.
There remained only 100,000 bags in first hal di,
which was below the cypher they had had for a very
long time, and showed the healthy state of the mar-
ket for that article. The transactions in sugar during
the month have been on a very small scale. The
public sale on the 10th instant of 69,377 baskets Java
being looked for to operate more extensively. A
favourable opinion prevailed as to the result of this
sale, and prices were expected to approach pretty
near to those of tke July sale, as the next public sale
in November could not bo large. South Sea whale
oil had improved in price on receipt of the news from
America, and 424 cents, per gallon was generally
demanded. Tobacco was not very active, neverthe-
less the price of good Maryland bad improved 1 to 2
cents. Owing to the small amount of Indigo for sale
on the 24th at Amsterdam, and on the 27th at
Rotterdsm, it was expected the May prices would be
realized, and perhaps 10 to 15 cents more. Exchange
en Lond9n, fl 2 24 for 2 months, n 2 74 for 3 months.
I The prices of grain continued to have a downward
itendency.

Letters from Hamburg of the 4th, mart that
coffee was still in favour, but that sales of Havanna
sugar had been made at a shade lower than the
previous week. The quotations were for Brown, 4
to 61 : Yellow, 51 to 61. The demand continued
active for hides of first quality. The imports during
the last 14 days amounted in number to about 87,000,
of which 42,000 were dispdfed of. The stock in
first hands was 82,300. A fair amount of business
was doing in funds and railway 'litres, which were
gradually improving. The exchange on London re-
mained the same.

Adviees from Odessa to the 24th August communi-
cate a further depression in the market for wheat,
especially in the inferior qualities. During the last'
ten days transactions to the extent of 25,000 Tech( r
had taken place for export to the Mediterranean and
England. The stock on the spot was estimated at
480,000 Tseher, for which the following priori were
aked : for first quality 214 to 221 r.; second, 18 to
20 r. Should the arrivals increase materially, it was
expected these prices would give way, particularly as
the harvest in Poland had turned out beyond all
expectation. Good rye was without demand,
and the stock did not exceed 7,000 centners
The price nominally was 11* to 13r. Barley and
oats were also not inquired after for export. The
former was quoted 10jr. to 11r. ; and eats at 14 to 16r.
Linseed was in demand, and the whole disposable
stock had been purcha ed at 25ir. to 26jr. ter the
Marseilles market. For delivery next month 27r.
had been paid. The demand for wool continued, and
finest merino was held at 59r. to 60r. ; second was
saleable at 56r. to 57r.; Metis from 50r. to Mr. A
few parcels from Zigay were offered at 29r. to 30r.
Danube wool had realised 16r. to 16'r. per pood.
Tallow was not in stock. Freights were dull, and ves-
sels might be hal considerably under the rates last
paid. Six British vessels were in harbour freight.
seeking ; one hadjust been engaged at 525. 6d. per
ton of tallow to London direct, or 555, for orders.
Austrian ships had 7.. 61. per quarter to England ; a
Greek ship obtained 81. per quarter to Great Britain.
Offers of 50s. per ton fur tallow to England bad been
refused by the English captains.
Front Galati letters of the 28th of Angus! state
that during the latter part of the month the corn
trade had been in • languishing stave owing to the
discouraging accounts received from the e.insumiog
markers, whilst on the other hand holders were
asking high prices on the ground that the crops in
the interior would fall short of the average of late
years. Clouds of locusts had likewise passed over
these countries, but as yet it was not knovn if any
injury had been done by them. Some business hid
been done in the old crop of wheat to the extent of
2,500 kloe, at p. 120 to 135, and about 300
kilos sold at Ibrail, at p. 123 to 155. In the inte-
rior of Upper Moldavia contracts for new wheat
to the extent of about 10,000 kilos, deliverable
at Greats had been made at the parity of from p. 135
to 150. The quality of new wheat of Upper Moldavia
was very fair. In Lower Moldavia, from whence the
linferior qualities arrive, the crop had failed, and the
suppliis therefore from that district would be scanty.'
Of hard wheat very little was exported. The quo-
tations were, for old wheat, second quality, 22.. 10d.
to 245. 5d.; third quality, 17 e. Ild. to 210. 21. per
qr. f. o. b. The stock at Galati was 8,700 qrs., and
at Ibrail, 4,350 qrs. Of rye some sties of old ha:t
taken place at p. 64 to 67 ; stock, 3,620 qr. Barley
had been in request for the army in the interior. The
stock was moon reduced ; 1,000 kilos had realised at
Ibrail from 70r. to 90r. The crop had almost entirely
failed, cad rumours were current about prohibi iog
the exportation ; bat it wari thought the government
of the two provinces would net carry through each
a measure. Linseed was advancing in price, owing to
the deficiency in the crop, and 80. had already been
refused. The advice. from this country had deterred
operations in Indian corn. A few sales had been made
at 1041 p. to 109 p. At Thrall sales took placeat 100 p.
to 115 p. Freights to Enirland, lls. to 11a. 61. per
qr., for English vent la. Exchange on London, 93 to 93i.
