COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Half-past One o Clock—The small money purchases
of stock by the public, referred to yesterday as being
uncommonly numerous, and therefore in the aggre-
gate of considerable amount, have been telling upon
prices this morning, and diffusing more confidence in
the market. Consols opened at 80 to 1 for money,
and 801 to 1 for account, from whence they gradually
advanced to 81 buyers for account, and 801 for
money. At these quotations speculative sellers made
their appearance, and reports were circulated of the
Bank having finally refused assistance to the Royal
Bank of Liverpool, and one of the large mercantile firms
connected with it, and embarrassed by its suspension.
The prices consequently gave way, and are now called
80k to 1 for money, and 80i to 1 for account.
Reduced Threes are 781 to 9. Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents, 801 to 1. Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 21s.
diaconnt Bank Stock. 179 to 182.
We have bad some inquiry for the more negotiableand
speculative foreign securities, but the business actually
done has been unimportant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are quoted better, at 52 to 4; the Fours,
remain 80 to 2. Mexican, are a shade higher, at 17;
to Spanish Fives, 181 to 171 ; the Threes, 271
to 1. Portuguese, 19 to 21. Brazilian, 73 to 5.
e late heavy failures in this country are begin-
ning to show their expected results abroad. Advice@
from Venice report the stoppage of three of the
largest
i commercial establishments of that city en-
gaged n the corn trade. Their liabilities are under-
stood to be of great amount.
Two o'Clock —The market is still in decline, and
Consols are now quoted 791 to 80 for money, and
801 to j for account.

RAILWAYS.—Our share market has rather ma-
terially improved to-day, and purebeeeehave been made
at full priors, compared with yegsrdirle quotations.
A fall in Great Northern Railway &area occurred
this morning, owing to • rumour that the company
was pressing for the payment of the last call. This
rumour, we learn, is altogether unfounded; the
lest call tuts been remarkably well paid ; two-
thirds of it were received by the day appointed. The
rumour has its foundation in a circular issued to the
few defaulters of the second, or previous call, request-
ing them, in justice to the great body of the share-
holders who have furnished means to carry on the
works, to pay up their arrears. The works of this
railway are progressing rapidly in the north; and it
is fully ex that, by the spring, 150 miles will be
open from Lincoln and Peterborough to the Humber
Ferries.
