MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING,
The English Stock market leaves off a little firmer,
Consols being 984 k. None of the heavy securities
underwent any alteration. India Stock for Acc..unt
was at 282.
The Committee of Spanish Bondholders agreed this
afternoon to address the Finance Minister at Madrid
upon the subject of the claims of the Active and Passive
stockholders ; also, to obtain a statement of the sales of
national property since March last. Spanish Actives
were 221 :} ; and the Three per Cents. 33 to 331. Bra-
zilian were 84 to 84.. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. realised 61ji to 61i.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Bristol and Exeter were 10 ; Great
Western, ex. dir., 611 to 601; Ditto Half, 321; Lancaster
and Carlisle, 1; South-Western, 45k; Croydon, 51; Lynn
and Ely, 3*; Manchester and Leeds, Quarter, 8; ; Mid-
land, .9.1 to 10 ; North British, Ito il ; Norwich and
Brandon, 94 to 10; Yarmouth and Norwich, 104; York
and North Midland, Half, 181; Orleans, Tours, and

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was no alteration in Cotton at Liverpool on Sa-
turday. A. moderate trade demand was experienced,
and the total sales were 3,500 bales.—Railway Shares
were quoted thus:—Birmingham and Gloucester, 113 ;
Eastern Counties Perpetual, No. 2, 11. Os. 6d.; Glasgow,
Paisley, and Greenock, 124; Liverpool and Manchester,
201 ; Ditto Quarter, 49 4- ; London and Birmingham
Quarter Shares, 26:1 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 53i;
Sheffield and Manchester, 841 ; South-Eastern, 381.
The extreme fineness of the weather that has pre-
vailed for the last four days, has had a most beneficial
effect upon the wholesale and retail trades of the me-
tropolis. " Goods (to use the language of a partner of
a large City firm) have moved off like lightning," and
with a full harvest, most certainly there will be a large
and beneficial " fall" trade down. The accounts
received this morning from the provinces are most
satisfactory as to the expectations of the farmers, and
of the manufacturing districts.
There are Buenos Ayres letters and papers this morn-
ing to a much later date than those previously received.
As to the demand for British manufactured goods, the
advices are not very
.satisfactory. There were surplus
stocks of many descriptions of goods. The dates reach
down to the 15th of June. There are no political ad-
vices of impedance. The affairs of Monte Video re-
mained still'in an unsettled condition.
A dull market has prevailed for the British Funds to-
day. Consols for the Account have been sold at 98*,
and the same for Money. A better feeling now exists in
the price for the account being 984, and for transfer to-
morrow 98k. The Commissioners only took 5,0001.
Consols to•tlay. The variations in the other stocks
have been slight.
Business has been brisk in the Foreign Funds to day.
The Portuguese Converted has reached 44 ; 'Spanish
Actives 22* 4, and the -Three, per Cents. 33 and 1.
The Dutch, tile Belgian, and most of the other foreign
stocks, were a shade lower than yesterday.
In the Railway Share Market a good deal has been
issnevaock .
done this morning. The fluctuations have been fre-
t quent, as our corrected list of prices will show.

KILMARNOOL:—We can state upon undoubted
authority, that Mr. Prinsep, who was recently appointed
to a situation on an English railway, is not the Mr. IL
T. Prinsep who contested the Kilmarnock burghs. The
latter gentletnan is a man of independent fortune.—
Glasgow Herald. •
LEICESTER.---STATE OF TRADE.—The d anand is
good, and all hands are fully employed. Wools and
yarns are firm, and in some sorts more difficult to buy;
the season for the Leicester trade may now be consi-
dered as set in, aid from this time till the middle of
November a fair 'demand is anticipated.—Leicestershire
Mercury.
