COMMERCIAL & MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY IN"fELLIGENCE.
Two o'Cl.wl.—Our stock market does not pi-view
so favourab'e an appearance this morning. We have
had a predominance of sellers, owing, as said, to the
mystery still attaching to the movements or the
whereabouts of the unhappy ex-sovereign of
France, and the reported uneasy state of the
working people of Paris, by which the public
tranquillity might come again to be compro-
mised. Consols had already declined 4 per cent.
upon the latest quotations of yesterday, when the
reported failure of the Commercial Bank of Antwerp
had th ! effect of depressing them still further. They
are now called 811 to 21 for money, and 82 to 1 for
time. Three per Cents., 811 to 21. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cent.., 821 to 31. Exchequer Bills,
ss. to 13s. premium. Bank Stock, 190 to d.
For the more speculative in foreign stocks, such as
Mexican and Spanish, the market continues in the
same or a more depressed state. We quote :Mexi-
can, 151 to 16. Spanish Fives, 131 to 141. The
Threes, 24 to 5. Equador, 21 to 31. Brazilian, 75 to
8. Chilian, better, at 90 to 2. Dutch Two-and-Half
per Cents, 41 to 5. The Fours, 73 to 3. In other
foreign securities, prices may be reported as nominally
the same.
From Antwerp we have intelligence of the sus-
pension of the Commercial Bank, which was unable
Ito face the run upon it for specie payments, by which
also the Bank of Belgium became before pressed on
the first news of the revolutionary movement in Paris.
The suspension of the Commercial Dank would, it was
hoped, be of short duration, as having been more a
matter of prudent precaution against future possi-
bilities than of present necessity. The announci ment
however had spread consternation on the Antwerp

Exchange.
After Change hours, a meeting of the Bank proprie-
tors was held to decide whether a deputation of
commerce should proceed to Brussels, to support there
the application which the directors had proceeded by
railway to make to the great hank of the S,r4lll'
Generale, to discount the securities of which they
were the bearers. After some observations
in favour of, and against the proposition, it
was decided to await the result of the step taken by
the Bank directors, before proceeding to any edfint-
tive resolution. Another meeting was convokt d for
the next day, when an exposition was to be made of
the situation of the bank.
In view of the present extraordinary circumstances,
the Amsterdam papers had recommended, and the
management of what may be called the stock
exchange(Directioh de la SwieW desEffetsPriblic), had
decided that, for the present, all operations in public
securities should be suspended. No transactions or
quotations of prices, arc therefore not reported from
that place.
It is stated from Brussels on the 27th, ult., that
Prince Pierre Napoleon had arrived there on Sunday,
from Paris, from whence he had travelled by a cir-
cuitous route.

RAILWAYS.—Shares are reported to be decidedly
better, with a more steady market, but it is difficult
yet to obtain any reliable information about the ex-
tent of the business transacted. We have no particu-
lar alterations in prices since the publication of the
official list subjoined,
