MONEY MARKET.

TIJUDAY EVIIIIIIIIO.
With the exception of a slight &deana in the
course of txchaop for bills on Paris, the rates on
foreign places for this mail present no variation from
last post day.
Letters from Breslau of the 4th confirm the ao-
counts of the dulness which prevails In the wool
market ; the middling floe descriptions which lately
were scarce and much inquired after, were now in
cook, and neglected. A tow hundredweight only
bid been dlepowd of at 48 dela to 88 deb. Greene
and dead wool, on the contrary, were is iserreat re-
finest, and severe.l parcels of the latter had been taken
for French account at 83 dole. to 88 dela. ; and of the
former, for Saxony and the Netherlands, at 65
to 58 lola. The whole quantity disposed of has not
exceeded 600 centter. The arrivals of middling
wool from Russia and Hungary were on the increase,
and the probabilities were in favour of this descri
tion declining in price. Although in the Son kinds
there was little business doing, the pries% neverthe-
less, were well sustained. lambwool was in favour,
but there waa no stock. Several large contracts of
entire flocks for the next clip had been made at the
previous improved rates.

Ddintzio advice* of the god reports quiet market
for all descriptions of grain ; but the short supplies
of wheat had induced the holders of stock to
raise their prices 10 8., which had been
obtained for small parcels, and purehasers were
in the market fur spring delivery at 383 8.
for 131 lbs. fresh high mixed. The general
impression was that wheat will not be obtainable for
shipment under 36e. to 355. for 1301 be., and 38e. to
375. for 1311bs. good and floe mixed ; and 395. to
41s. for 134th*. high mixed per quarter I. o. b., and
extra floe old wheat higher in proportion. Of Polish
rye and summer grain no early supplies were ex-
pected, u the province of itself produced abundantly
of these descriptions. The prices quoted were—for
rys,l2llbe. to 1241 be., 17a. to 191.; barley, 10611a5.,
12s. to 135.; oats, 10s. to Ils. ; all f. o. b. The com-
munication between the Vistula and the city being
still interrupted, owing to the continuance of
frost, few samples were offered on the ex-
change, and from the warehouses nothing
had been done. The stock of wheat at the beginning
of the year amounted to 11,000 lasts, half of which
con fisted of ordinary, and one third of heavy the
quality. The cost price of this stock is much above
the present ruling rates, and the greater part is in
the hands of rich speculators and Polish proprietors,
who, for the present, appear determined not to sell at
• kis!, and, therefore, tine heavy old wheat, with few
exceptions, cannot be obtained under 4508. With
reference to the spring supplies they are generally
considered as likely to run short, as the Polish pro-
prietors have liberally satisfied the exceedingly heavy
demands for rye and summer gram for
the Russian magszines, at high prices. The
supplies of wheat therefore until the next crop are
not expected to exceed 16,000 lasts from Poland, and
8,000 lasts from the interior ; and as scarcely any
part of theft could arrive before May, there existed
uttle inducement at present prices to effect early
shipments. Unless orders arrive from England tit
was estimated that the shipments to this country up
to the end of May will not exceed 4,000 lute, not-
withstandiog the tempting low rates at which Eng-
lish vessels could be taken op, namely 31. to the east
coast. Charters had been efficted for wood at 13s. 6d.
to 13s. per load to London and to other ports in the
same proportion.

Advice, from R;ga of the Ist mention that the
long protracted winter, whilst retarding the opening
of the navigation, had at least the advantage of facili-
tatirg the arrival by and of supplies of products for
export, which were fast accumulating. Rather con-
siderable transactions had taken place in flax at 33 r.
for W.C.M., 30 r. for C.M., 28 r. for D.C., 12 r. for
Codills, and other descriptions in proportion. These
prices, however, it was expected, would not be main-
tained. The business in hemp continued limited, but
prices were without alteration and were well sustained.
The same may be said of linseed. Rye, barley, and
oats were in small request. The exchange on London
was 38 7-16 d.

St. Petersbnrgh adviees of the 30th Marsh men-
tion that 300 casks tallow had been dine for May
and June, at the beginnicg of the week, at 110 pi.,
cash. Subsequently, however, accounts were re-
ceived from Morshausk and Moscow, reducing the
total supply to 103,000 casks, which is 25,000 °sake
short of the first estimates. Upon this prices ad-
vanced, and about 3,000 casks were disposed of at
112 re with lOrs. advance, 300 casks on the spot
had been done at 112 re., and at 111 rs.
for June, and 1071 re. for August. The price
at the departure of the mail was firm at
1108 re. for cash, and 113 re., with an advance.
llt is, however, proper to observe that the Russians
were not agreed as to the correctness of this
estimate. It continued, nevertheless, to affect
the market, and business was going on in
tallow, of which no report is furnished. Flax
was rather dull owing to the pretensions of the
leading dealers, who asked 115 re., whilst only
110 re. were offered. For tow, on the spot, 70 re.
were demanded., and 64 re. was the highest offer.
Hemp was again firm ; 100 tone clean had been done
at 85 rs., and 100 tons half clean at 70 re. cash ; cut
clean wu held at 00 re., and Ontshot at 86 re. Lin-
seed had been done to a small extent at 28 rs., with
an advance. The supply of bristled for the season
was likely to be short, and parties were buying
eagerly at an advance over last autumn prices of 5
to 7 re. in first, 0 to 10 rs. in dried, and 2 to 3 re. in
second and third sorts. In deals and grain so busi-
ness was doing. The import market was dull, as
usually is the case just before the opening of the na-
vigation and the breaking up of the roads. The
weather was fine, with steady frosts. The exchange
on London was quoted 38 d. to 381 cl.

Archangel ailvieeeof the 23rd March state that the
activity is the Lai market was unabated, and about

1,600 tons of all sorts had exchanged hands, in some
instances at an advance on previous rates. Present
prices had every probability of being fully maintained,
ea the holders, who are wealthy men, had agreed
amongst themselves not to aooept lower terms. The
gnanti•y in the hands of exporters had increased to
8,000 tons, and that left in first hands wee reduced to
about 2,000 to 3,000 tons. In other !impede the
market was without alteration. The price of linseed
bad given way to 8 r. 70 os., at which a small lot had
been taken. In grain the transactions were limited,
and presented no particular feature. As regards tar,
the result of the fair bad fixed the export price for
early shipments at r. 2.75. The exchange on London
was 3811

The foreign stock market is firm to-day, but
without much business going forward. The favour-
able views of the prospects of the Mexican bond-
holders, expressed by the new committee in their
second report just issued, in which they state that
there can be no question whatever that the sources of
revenue hypothecated to the bondholders are sufficient
at present to produce more than 3 per cent. per annum,
with the prospect of a steady increase, have had a
strengthening effict on the market for this descrip-
tion, and the price rose to 29; but the last traces°.

MINCING-LANE.—THIS DAY.
The markets are generally suffering from the went of ani-
mation, and, though holders in most instances maintain firm-
ness, prices have •till a declining tendency.
Sugars—The hams trade and 'rrfieers having supplied
their wants out of the large public sales of yesterday, there
is very little appearance of business in this market today.
Two parcels of foreign, in bond, hays been brought forward,
and, eliciting no competi.ion, were wholly bought is—via.
419 chests and 200 bags Pernambuco, and 7,458 bags brown
Manilla; reflaed Sugar brings former paces, but the de-
mand is not large.
Conan.—A small public sale of Ceylon has been at-
tempted, but nearly all was bought in at full rates. By
prints contract the sales have not been of important*.
SaLtrwrai —A supply of 1,214 bags Bengal, at auction,
met no demand at the rates required, and was bought in ;
refraction 31 to 41 per cent., at 26e. 6d.
Mtcs.—Of Bengal, 1,430 bags were offered in public sale,
and bought in rather above the market value. 400 bags
Madras were portly sold, native grain 71. 6d. to 84.. fair
Bengal grain Ss to Ba. 6d. per ewt. Several parade of Sago
were offered and bought in; good pearl, 22a. to 255. 61:
MIMS brown, at 141.

SPICE 11.-At 'auction 600 boxes Caws Lignsa were offered,

The attendance of buyers in Mark-lane this yawning was
small. sad the heehaw *reenacted low in pyoportias to the
magnitude of the supplies, and although the market
