COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—Our stock market is comparatively
quiet to-day. Consols were quoted for some time firm
at 82,i to 1, but have recently declined a fraction,
and are now called 821 to 1, both for money and
account. But for the unfavourable aspect of the
news from Germany, both as referring to political
movements and to the stock markets, our funds
would probably have been more decidedly on the
advance. The announcement by the provisional
government of France that funds were already in
hand for the payment of the half-year's interest on
the 3, 41 and 4 per cents., due the latter end of this
month only, bat which would be paid by anticipation
this day in Paris, and in the departments on the 13th.
has produced a favourable feeling on the stock ex-
change here. Reduced Threes, 82i to Three-sod-
a-Quarter per Cents., shut. Exchequerßills, 255. to
30s. premium. Bank Stock 191 to 4.
We have little if any improvement to notice in
foreign stocks. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
are widely quoted 60 to 70. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 43 to 3 ; the Fours, 72 to 5. Danish 172
to 6. Spanish Fives, 131 to 1; the Threes, 241 to 1.
Passive, 3t to 1. Portuguese, 17 to 19. Brazilian,
77 to 9. Mexican, 141 to 151. Russian, 93 to 100.
From Antwerp, it is stated that the liquidation of
the Commercial Bank will be attended with less dif-
ficulty, consequently lees damage also to the creditors
and proprietors, than might have been expected.
The report of the committee appointed to make an
examination of the bank's affairs was so favourable
as to warrant the decision that, on Tuesday next (to-
morrow), a first dividend upon the liabilities of 10 per
cent. should be paid. Other dividends, it is confi-
dently announced, will succeed rapidly, so that the
liquidation will be completed in a short time.

METALS.—(3tiscotc, March 4.—The alarming
and unexpected events which have just occurred in France,
combined with the immediate consequence of all_ want of
congdence in the stability of political and comme affairs
cm the part of Great Britain and the continent of Europe,
hays materially affected the value of Pig Iron, and caused •
larloonsion of shipments thereof to France, Germany, and
Rolland. Iron intended for these destinations is now being
sold in this country, and the price has declined about 2s. to
2s. 6d. per ton since our advice of the 19th ult. The market
is very sensitive, and the price to-day may be considered
nominal at 475. 6d. per ton for mixed Nos., and 495. 6d. for
all No. 1, good brands, prompt cash, f.o.b.
