COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Ttco o'Clock—We have no particular feature in
our stock market this morning. Consols are dull,
and alternating between 85 buyers and sellers, their
present quotations being 85 to J. Reduced Threes,
84: to 5. Three-and-a-Uuerter per Cents., 86 to
Exchequer Bills, 9s. to 12s. premium. Hank Stock,
166 to 8.
Foreign stocks are rather more iu demand, and
prices of some descriptions in advance. Dutch come
better from Amsterdam on the 29th ult., when the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 54 15-16,
after some active purchases. Here, also, they have
recovered somewhat from their recent depression at
541 to I, ex-dividend ; the Fours, 851 to 6. Spanish
Fives are now called in advance, 181 to 191 ; the
Threes, 29 to 4, ex-dividend. Portuguese, 23 to 4.
Mexican, 17,i to 18. Buenos Ayres have improved
to 30 to 2.
The intelligence of the death of the Princess Ade-
laide, sister of the French sovereign, communicated
in second editions of the morning papers, is considered
in Stock Exchange circles to 1.).; likely seriously to af-
fect the health as well as the mind of the sovereign
himself, over which she was known to exercise much
influence, and in that sense is supposed to have con-
tributed to the present depression of the funds. It
may be mentioned here, on competent authority, al-
though in opposition to the account given in Galignani,
that the lamented princess had been in an infirm
state of health for some years past, and so lame that
she was obliged to move about in a wheel chair.
Reports arc current of some important failures in
Frankfort. The name of one, a banking house of
repute, has been freely mentioned, but, until further
verified, need not be alluded to more distinctly. The
suspension, yesterday, of the great house of Cotes-
worth, Powell, and Pryor, in the South American
and West India trade, with liabilities about 350,000 t.;
and of Durand, Mackenzie, and Co., American mer-
chants—refered to without names under this head
yesterday—continue to be the subject of interest and
conversation in City circles.
