COMMERCIAL 4- MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Hay:past One.—We have the same dull stationer
market in funded values, with Consesat 951 to 3 for time and
money as before. There is however, apparently, a rather
uneasy feeling abroad in respect of political affairs, and the
extent to which this country may chance to be com-
promised by the course of events in Portugal
The conviction is strong amongst parties intimately connected
with `pain, and knowing well the state of parties in Madrid,
as well as the political views of the Spanish gouernment,
that should Sahlanha not succeed in putting down the revo-
lution, the Spanish government will most decidedly
interfere, end march an army into Portugal. The
stability, if not the personal safety, of Senor Isturiz and the
members of his cabinet must, rt is asserted, he seriously
c..mpromised, should the struggle for constitutional rights in
Ptrtugal prove successful. The powerful party of Progrcs-
si-tas in Spain is warily watching the course of events, ready
to strike at the opportune moment. It has not
o that General Prim, one of the ablest and
es-
bravest commanders of Spain, and so cruelly used by
Nervaez, took his departure for Portugal by the last packet,
and is not likely when there to remain an idle spectator of
the events pass;ng around him.
These considerations exercise considerable influence on the
operations of the stock market, and tend to restrain
that inclination towards an upward movement in prices, of
Consols more especially, which should result from the in-
terest accrued, and daily accruing, up.in the stock, now
within a few weeks of the dividend paving season.
Half-past Two.—Since writing wliat precedes, Consols
have made a step forward, and are now quoted 941 buyers,
without, however, much activity of business. Exchequer
Bills, 9s. to 12s. premium.
With the exception that Spanish Fives are rather lower,
the foreign market presents scarcely any fluctuation in
prices. The transactions are extremely limited, and, in some
stocks, such as Mexican and Portuguese, it would be difficult to
do business to the extent of many thousands.' Mexican are
nominally 211 to 21. Portuguese, 36 to 8. Spanish Fives,
'251 to 61; the Threes, 371 to 111.

RAILWAYS.
The market continuer to wear a favourable appear_
since, and prices are fairly sustained at the improvements
which have recently been established on some of the
lines. Goole and Doncasters are better than yes-
terday. Shrewsbury and Birminghamadvanced 1
.
in the early part of the day, but the adva ance has not
been maintained. Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle
Junctions, North Staffordshire, North British, are all firm,
with a alight improvement. East Indians are more in
demand, and steady.
