MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(MONDAY EVENING.)
CHRONICLE.—This being the day for declaring the
options in Consols previous to the settling, which takes place
to-morrow, the market has been in a quiet state through-
out the day, the transactions being principally confined to
arranging the accounts. Up to the present time, the indi-
cation is evidently that of a Bull account, the continuation
being fr to- 9-16ths for the opening (16th July), or about
4} per cent. The closing prices of Consols was 921 to
i--for money, and 93, buyers, for the opening. Exchequer
Bills have not varied, being 235. to 255. prem.
Money has been tight to-day, at 4i per cent. in Lombard-
street, although later in the day some extensive transactions
took place on easier terms. On Foreign Securities, the rate
on the Stock Exchange was 7 per cent. Some parties
attribute this change in the value of money to the state of
the Consol account; and it is so far true, that the Bull
party require money at present to pay for their stock
on Tuesday; but that is not the chief cause of the in-
creased demand. It must be recollected that there has
been- about ten millions sterling paid in this quarter for
revenue, which heavy amount of capital has remained
shut up, owing to the dulness in trade and manufactures.
This circumstance, coupled with tho really limited extent
of the circulation, accounts for the prevailing scarcity of
money in the London market. It has been taken out
pretty freely from the Bank, however, for the last few days,
where a fair extent of business has been doing at the rates
we have quoted above ; but, considering the amount of
bullion in the Bank, in comparison with the circulation
and other relative circumstances, the prevailing demand
for money is likely to be of some continuance ; and,
if so, the country in the long run will be in a sounder
position than would be the result of what might be
termed, under existing circumstances, a more liberal po-
licy on the part of the Bank of England. If thu Bank
of England were now to foster the general bent for specu-
lation, by making money cheap, we should have a speedy
rise in prices, and thus the favourable influence which the
low price of American cotton is calculated to produce on
our export trade would be directly thwarted,. and we
should lose the means of keeping up a healthy action upon
the Foreign Exchanges. Therefore we approve of the
restrictive policy now adopted by the Bank of England,
but hope that it will not be necessary to apply the
" screw" to any inconvenient extent ; and as the season
advances, and the prospects of an abundant harvest arc
secured, that they will be able to relax the pressure, allow-
ing it to become
" Small by degrees, and beautifully less."

The appearance of the craps in the United States and
France are as promising as our own, and hold out equally
flattering expectations; so that the year 1840, under a
moderate extent of timely vigilance and prudence, bids
fair to be one of unusual prosperity. The news brought
by the Great Western represents trade as being in a dull,
depressed state. United States Bank Shares are quoted
at 73 in Philadelphia on the Bth inst. ; Exchange, 8 to
and all kinds of Stocks are low. This fall in prices was
occasioned in the first place by the low prices and almost
unsaleable state of American securities carried nut by
Great Western from this side. Secondly, by the
operations incumbent on the banks, to put them-
selves in a position of sufficient strength to resume
specie payments; and, thirdly, by the want of confi-
dence which pc_llades all classes of the Union under the
antagonist principles of Government (in which the ques-
tions of banking and the currency are deeply involved)
now at work in the contest for the presidential chair be-
tween the supporters of Harrison and Van Buren. The
Harrison, or Whig party, say that Van Buren, with his
hard money loco-focoism and sub-Treasury Bills, has sub-
verted the Constitution, and injured its best interests; that
his plans are pernicious, and must be abandoned, to save
the country from ruin. The elections continue throughout
the year, and, owing to this unsettled state of affairs, capi-
talists will nut venture to invest permanently. There is no
want of money for discounts at short dates, but there is a
general dulness of trade, which will be felt until the citi-
zens see which of the contending principles is to be victo-
rious in the struggle for power. So far as the elections_;
hitherto have gone, they promise decided triumph to the
Harrison, or Whig party.

SUN.—The tenor of the commercial news from
America today, is what we anticipated a month or
two back. Electioneering is all the rage ; business is
depressed ; plenty of produce is at hand for shipment
to this country, but no orders are coming forward for
British manufactures in return, and 'the fall trade will .
no doubt prove, as that of the spring has done, a-,
miserably poor affair.
Accounts received at New York, from Jamaica, to.
the 4th of April, state that matters in the Legislature-
were then proceeding most harmoniously. A Bill for
promoting emigration was under the consideration of the,
House of Assembly. A police force, on the model or
that established in London, has commenced duty, and:,
given much satisfaction.
The Congo! Market closed rather heavily this after--.
noon. For Money the quotation as 923 3, and for
time about 93 to 3. The rise in this stock during the,
.;
account has been 44 per cent. Bank Stock receded to
1763. Exchequer Bills were steady at 255. premium.
'!'ho Foreign Stocks were dull. Spanish Actives de-
clined to 2Si ; Portuguese new Five per Cents. brought
35a Mexican improved to 31i ; and Colombian re-
mained at 264. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. re-
ceded to 543.

Business in the Share Market was more limited to-
day, some of the speculative fever having subsided.
Brighton dropped to 5i discount ; London and Birming-
ham Shares to 86 premium ; the Quarter Shares to 24
premium ; the South Western to Nil ; the New North
Midland 10 ; the Great Western 251, and the New to,
121 premium. The Edinburgh and Glasgow brought
5 discount, and the Birmingham and Gloucester 10
discount. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares were at
3i premium.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

(From the Morning Herald.)
To-night the enemies of the Corn-laws will renew
their crusade against native industry. Mr. Villiers will,
to-night, rehearse his carefully-conned " philosophisnis"
in favour of free-trade ; and will be followed by the usual
train of spouters in favour of those industrial pursuits,
which " owe no allegiance to the shores of England." In
the House of Commons, however, there is at present little
chance of the Anti-Corn-law faction making ranch pro-
gress. There is, undoubtedly, some cause to apprehend that
the great question of the Coin-laws may be under stated, so
far as the rights of the labourers, farmers, and landowners are
concerned: and,let us observe,in passing, that to under-state
these rights, or to place the defence of these rights on a
false basis, is an evil of no inconsiderable magnitude. Sir
Robert Pcel, for instance; did much mischief, during the
last discussion on the Corn-laws in the House of Commons
by his unfounded assertion that the manufacturers of Eng-
land constitute the strength and glory of the country. The
statement is, in itself, ridiculously the reverse of true; ant!
when uttered by one of the refined parliamentary chain -
pions of the Corn-laws, the ill-effects of such a miscrertia -
sentation may, with difficulty, be calculated. h
i
out of doors, that the influence of the •v
league is felt ; and it is to the counteraction of that im -
fluence, that the energies of the friends of native industry
ought to be directed.
