      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday . There has been a gradual and steady improvement going on in the Home Funds all this week , though not to a very great extent . The market opened buoyantly on Monday , and , although there was not much business done , an advance was manifest . The " Derby" race interfered with the ordinary transactions of the Stock Exchange , where betting , in a great measure , absorbed the attention of speculators and jobbers on Tuesday ; notwithstanding which , however , the market was firm , with a further slight advance . On Wednesday the racing attraction caused rather a thin attendance on ' Change ,

      though its being the carrying-over day for Railway Shares , and a time of preparation for the settlement of the account to-day , obliged many more persons to be present than would otherwise have been there ; and again there was a firm tone pervaded the market , and another fractional advance was realized . Yesterday morning operations commenced briskly , prices still looking up , but a rumour having reached the city that the Russian Ambassador had been recalled , there was a temporary depression and decline , which , however , soon passed away , and the quotations at the close were fully as high as at the commencement . This morning the market is sieady and

      mproving . The advance on Consols altogether , however , has not exceeded about § per cent . The first price on Monday was 96 , and they may now be quoted at 96 j to £ . The firmness and imptovement of the market is mainly attributable to the expectation of the differences with France on the Greek question being amicably adjusted . The dealings in the stocks have been : Reduced Three per Cents . 96 $ to | ; New Three-and-a-quarter per Cents . 97 J to 4 , ; Long Annuities , 8 k to 3-14 ; Exchequer Bills , 68 s . to 70 s . prem . ; Bank Stock , 206 f to 2074 ; India Bonds , 87 s . to 90 s . prem .

      The business in Foreign Stocks has been limited , and prices have scarcely changed . The principal transactions have been in Mexican , at 30 J to 31 J ; Peruvian , 77 ; Ditto Deferred , 334 to 354 ; Grenada , 154 ; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents , 544 to f ; Ditto Four per Cents .. 854 to |; Portuguese Four per Cents ., 33 ; Spanish Five per Cents ., 174 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., small , 964 ; Belgian Four-anda-Half per Cents ., 86 f . There has been nothing worthy of remark in the business of the Foreign Bourses . If anything , perhaps an improvement may be noted , particularly in the French Rentes .

      The Railway Share Market has been firmer , and during the last three days a decided improvement has taken place in the shares of some of the best lines . London and North Westerns have advanced above £ 2 10 a . ; Great Westerns , £ 1 ; Midland , £ 1 10 s . ; Brighton , £ 1 10 s . ; Leeds and Bradford , 10 s . ; Hull and Selby , £ 1 ; and South Western , 10 s . per share . The Produce Market has been pretty steady , with , if anything , a tendency to advance . Colonial produce , generally , has been in rather extensive demand , especially Sugar , the public sales of which , on Tuesday , were to a considerable amount , a * , good prices .

      The Corn Market has again declined . It was dull in Mark-lane both on Monday and Wednesday , and a fall of about a shilling a quarter took place . The manufacturing trade , in the Lancashire districts at least , has been generally dull this week , except for Manchester yarns , which have advanced , and still look Up . The German houses have been considerable buyers . la some instances calicoes and prints have gone off pretty well for exportation ; but the home trade is still much

      depressed . There wns , however , a markt d improvement in Manchestfr on Wednesday and yesterday . At Macclegfield business is complained of as very dull , and prices heavy ; and similar complaints are heard of at Rochdale and Huddersfield , except for low fancy goods and Tweeds . Leeds is represented as doing a fair amount of business , principally , however , in the foreign trade ; and at Halifax there is a steady market in its taple worsted trade . Saturday .

      The market remained steady to its close yesterday evening . This morning it is firm with an improving tendency .
