      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 31 , 1854 . SiifCB last week we have had a further fall of more than 31 per cent ., and the market looking very gloomy . Russian Fives are SI to 83 ; but it is asserted that this stock has been immensely-oversold , and that 2 per cent , has in some instances been given to keep open the amount . Two considerable failures in the Stock Exchange have perhaps had the effect of forcing a good deal of stock-and shares on the market , and have not tended to improve the general tyne . Yet it is difficult for people to believe , even now , in war ; for they take into consideration the evident reluctance of our all-talented and overforbearing Cabinet' to fire one shot in anger . So the Funds are above their real value . Railway-Shares are , in several instances , 2 and 3 per cent , below last week ' s quotation . The New French Loan does not meet with much favour on this side the water . The same may be said of the Turkish Loan ; Frenoh Railway Shares are much

      lower ; and , indeed , all kinds of investments are looked on doubtfully * . Miniug Shares very quiet . Colonial Gold have declared a dividend of 74 per cent . ; the shares are still but a I premium . Agua Frias have had a slight advance ; when the 25 per cent , dividend , which has been so long threatened , is declared , it may send them up to 1 premium ; but that which last year would bave run shares up to 2 and 3 premium , in the then buoyant state of the market , has but comparative little effect now . Looking still at the magnitude of the stake now b « ing played , and the desperate character of the war—should no unforeseen accident happen to the Czar , and the war continue , with perhaps a reverse or two in the Baltic , we may see Consols at 80—before June . On the other hand , a decided victory either in the East ; or in the Baltic , or any other momentous , t > ut fortunate contingency , would send tlem up 5 per cent , before one could get in- Ihere has been considerable reaction again this afternoon through all the markets , and Consols close at 86 to i , having opened at 851 to | .

      COR 3 T MARKET . Marl Lane . Friday Evening , March . SI . Locai TiulDE . —The arrivals of all Grain this week are moderate . The improved feeling we reported on Monday was followed by an advance of 3 s . per qr . on Wheat on Wednesday , and a further advance of 3 s . is established to-day making fully 6 s . from Monday . , The large arrivals of Oats last week are mostly cleared off , and an advance of 2 s . is readily obtained from Monday . Barley is also 2 s . dearer . F . O . B . —The market had become so depressed on our side , that a great many of the offers both or Wheat and Oats , which were in hand a fortnight ago , were withdrawn at the close of last week , and much business has thereby been prevented . At the present , moment ther * are few orders to in n&na saies

      ueu . oome nave been made as follows s—say 61 lbs . red Stettin "Wheat 70 s . cost , freight and insurance , 62 lbs . Rostock 68 s . f . o . b . 40 lbs . Danish Oats 26 s . cost and freight . A . good many orders have been sent out the last few days for both Wheat and Oats . Barley has commanded less attention . Fixating Trade : —The change in the appearance cf our local market has equally changed the minds of holders of cargoes . There is little off the coast foxsale , and of cargoes on passage there are not , we believe , above 300 . These , of course , will arrive in about three months , after whioa . this branch of the trade will be pretty nearly at an end , and " importers are therefore careless sellers before arrival . A . cargo of fine Polish Odessa sold at 68 s . ; one of Taganrog Ghirka same price ; 66 s . bid and refused for new Ibrail . A cbtko of new Galatz sold at 72 s .

The rate of mortality that has prevailed during the last fortnight , is below the corrected average , Trat does not differ from it to any material extent .
