MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(TIIURSDAT EYENING.)
TIMES.—The short conversation last night in the
House of Commons between Mr. Herries and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer has had some slight influence on
the price of Consols,as it is inferred from it that the Chan-
cellor is disposed to a further funding of Exchequer
Bills, which would create, of course, an additional supply
of Stock, and this notion. is borne out by the circum-
stance th,it while Stock was depressed the Exchequer
Bill market improved. In both, however, the fluctuation
has been but trifling. The sales of Stock were on the
whole rather considerable. Money is in very little
demand, and Stock was so much wanted, notwithstand-
ing these sales, that from day to day it was lent without
any interest. For a long period, say two or three weeks,
money could have been obtained at 23: per cent., though
the jobbers generally were unwilling to make bargains
for longer period. Consols opened at 911 (buyers) for
money, and 91-a (buyers) for the account, but soon de-
clined to 901 .to 1 for money, and 91 to if, for the ac-
count, at which price, after a little fluctuation, they ulti-
mately closed, Exchequer bills are quoted at 11s. to
13s. premium
In the foreign house, the only feature was some de-
mand for Spanish Stock, in consequence of orders by
the Dutch mail ; but this had no other effect than that
of maintaining the previous prices.
In the Share-Market there was great heaviness ; the
only business done was in Great Western, which are
quoted at 1 to 2 premium, and par for the new shares.
In consequence of the meeting on the Corn-laws held
in Guildhall yesterday, petitions have been placed for
signature in various parts of the city, and have had
names subscribed to them so rapidly as to produce
the conviction that in this -pitted at least there is a
very strong and general feeling in favour of some
alteration in them. It could not, indeed, well be
otherwise, for when the merchants and bankers are
assured from what are considered first-rate authorities
in such matters that the currency is perpetually de-
ranged, and the reciprocity of trade destroyed, un-
der the present operation of those laws, they cannot
be otherwise that advocates of a change. All the
differences of opinion among them therefore turn upon
the amount of protecting duty to be imposed, and in
this respect there is A disposition perhaps to be more
liberal than is generally imagined, which arises from
their anxiety to establish a principle, for the modification
of which to its fair and proper level they trust to time.
It is generally believed in the City, notwithstanding
the contradiction which has been given to the report
lately current on that subject, that Mr. Grote will
shortly retire from the representation of the City,
and that his abdication will take place in consequence
of certain arrangements connected with his house of
business, and arising out of the articles of partnership.
There is no hint at present as to the person to be
brought forward by his own party to supply his place,
but the usual agents are understood to be already on the
alert. The Conservatives, it should be added, are fully
awake as to what is going on.

SUN.—The Tea Market closed very flat this
afternoon, with a further slight depression in prices—
say id. per pound. The Colonial Markets were
steady, but not brisk.

The Funds only partially recovered the depression of
the morning, leaving off about per cent. higher on the
extreme depression. Consols for Money touched 91i
91, and for Time 91i it. Exchequer Bills realised 13s.
to 1 ls. premium. India Stock 24Si to 2491, and
Bank Stock 179.

The Foreign Securities were a shade higher. Spanish
Consols closed at 26i ; Portuguese New Five per
Cents. at 34i ; Colombian at 274 ; Belgian at 10'4 ;
and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52i to .52i.
The Railway Shares were depressed, and all lower,
though not materially so.
