The Money Market has undergone no material
change to-day. The demand was perhaps less
pressing, and the applications at the Bank are
understood to have been comparatively limited.
The Bankers Circular of to-day remarks :
The funds during the week have manifes'ed the same
heaviness, and yesterday Consols went down to 89i. Tne
Bank returns exhibit a decrease of .E 272,852 in the specie ;
so that while a latga augmentation has taken place in the
public deposits, there has bxen a considerable demand for
specie. We do not see why this result should not have
beeen anticipated, looking at the general state of the
money market. There has been a large su;ply of the
precious metals during the week ; but the continental
demands have ab3orbed nearly the whole amount of gold
imported ; in fact, the specie demands for the Continent
of Europe have become extremely active, and; hence the
advances made in the value of money ; so that the
immediate prospect of the money market is towards a rise.
There has been no extreme pressure upon the Bank
during the week, but the demand has nevertheless been
active, caused, in some degree, by the payments necessary
to be made to the Bank on account of the public. The
rates paid for accommodation have, therefore, undergone
no relaxation.

The Market for the Public Funds
.and Securi-
ties has been very inactive to-day,the variation from
the commencement to the close of business having
barely exceeded 1-16 per cent. Owing to the rather
more favourable cornplexlon of the news from
India, as exhibited by the detailed advices, the
Funds opened at an improvement of percent, at
which they remained throughout the afternoon.
The improvement in the French funds also
imparted a firmer tone to the market, and to large
influx of Australian gold also exerted a beneficial
influence. The Bank returns, on the other haw?,
were considered unfavourable, but in the face of
the more encouraging considerations already
alluled to, they have had no effect upon values.
The speculators appeared disinclined to extend
their operations, and it is generally imagined that
the market will remain quiet until fresh circum-
stances in connection with the meeting arise to
produce some excitement. Consols were 901, 901
for transfer, and 90&,.901 for the 14th proximo.
The following list shows the fluctuations of
Consols during the past week :

In London, during the past week, there has
been a steady demand for produce, and, notwith-
standing the large arrivals during ie week, prices
eenerally have been well maintained. On Tuesday
there was more inquiry for sugar, particularly the
refining qualities,and considerable parcels changed
hands at full rates to 6d..ner cwt. advance ; the
grocery sorts also went off freely, but to-day the
market closes rather quietly. The sales of Ceylot,
coffee have gone off steadily, at about Is. per cwt.
decline, hut Costa Riot has brought extreme rates.
A. good business has been done in rice, afloat, at
full quotations, but on the spot there is not much
inquiry. Some parcels of saltpetre, to arrive, have
changed hands at Is. to is 61. per cwt. advance;
on the spot, also, the market is about 18. dearer.
The sales of spice in Holland, on the 16.11 instant,
went at reduced rates, except for black pepper,
which shows a slight advance. Tea has been more
inquired for.
Business in the Leeds Woollen Trade has been
very quiet this week Few buyers had been in the
town, and much caution is exorcised in entering
into any fresh transactions during the present high
rates of the raw material. At Bradford the market
had been very quiet, but prices were firm. A fair
business has been done in piece goods for the
German markets. There had been less inquiry at
Manchester for heavy goods, and the advanced
price of Cotton had tended in great measure to
check production in piece goods. There was but
little inquiry for fabrics euitable for the Indian
markets.

The following are the Gazette average prices of
Must;Dyad° Sugar, for the week ending September
