COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—We have some strong selling of
Consols this morning, which depressed prices to 891
from 891 to z for account. This depression has been
vaguely attributed to the receipt, in private quarters,
of more unfavourable intelligence from Italy, but it
is just as probable that parties who hove been leading
buyers at lower rates for some time pistons soaking
their profits by selling out, and handsome profits
they must have made. Consols have now recovered I
so far as to 891 to for money, and 894 to 1 for
time. Reduced Threes, 8911 to 4. Three-andasQuarter
per Cents., 904 to 4. Exchequer Bills, 335. to 365.
premium.
We have not much business doing in the foreign
market, bat prices follow the bent of Console, and are
not so Ligh or so firm to-day as yesterday. Spanish
Fives are quoted 21 to 2 ; the Threes, 311 to ; Pas-
sive, 41 to 31 . Portuguese, 26 to 7. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 531 to 41 ; the Fours, 83
to 4. Mexican, 181 to 1. New Grenada,l94 to 201.
IPeruvian, 39 to 41. Brazilian, 82 to 4.
We are sorry to announce that the East India
House refctr d to in another part of the paper, as
beieg in embarrassments, is Messrs. Brightman and
Co , of the City. The Calcutta branch of this firm
stopped payment in 1816, but without seriously com-
promising the London firm. The recent Indian dis-
asters have now brought it to a shwa. The liabilities,
it is understood, are not heavy.
The Newcastle firm, whose difficulties were men-
tioned two days since, it may be now stated, isMessre.
Bertram and Parkinson, general merchants and mine
owners.
A report was current a short time since, and re-
ferred to in the May .New of the Bth instant, to the
effect that, amongst other houses which had suspended
payment, was that of M'Phail, spinners, Glas-
gow. We are most happy to state that so far as
the house of Dugald M.Phail and Co., of Greenhesd,
Glasgow, is concerned, such repor.wes entirely with-
out foundation.

PRODUCE.—LIVERPOOL, Jan. 28.—Sugar : There
continues to be a very general and extensive demand for all
descriptions, at a further improvement of fully Is. per cwt.
on West India, and 6d. to lc on Bengal The sales are 800
hhds. 8.P., 11,000 bags Bengal, and 2,000 bags Mauritius.
There hu also been an extensive demand for foreign
during the week, and an advance of Gd. to Is. from the low-
est points has been established. The isles consist of 260 cases
and 500 bags Brazil, at 375. per cwt., duty peid, for middling
brown Babill ' • 38s. for new Pernambuco, in bags ; and from
38e. to 425. 6d. for low to fine white Pernambuco, of the old
crop, and 100 hhds. Porto Rieo at full rates; besides the
above, a ears° of Bahia, partly of the ~ew crop, has been
sold, delivers' le in the Clyde, at 16s. Cxl. for brown, and
20s. 6d. for white, floating condition.

SUGAR.—BRISTOL, Jan. 29.—There has been a
very good demand the whole of the week for all descriptions
of Sugar, and prices are fully Is. per cwt. above the rates
ruling here about ten days since. In West India, owing t•
the limited show at market, the sales are limited to about
350 hhds. and tierces; and the small quantity remaining un-
sold here in first hands must throw the demand on other
kinds. For Mauritius there hes been a brisk sale and
about 9,000 mats have been disposed of at extreme, num;
they have fetched, from 11.1 6d. to 2s. per cwt. more than
could hare been realised at the opening of the market after
the holidays. Bengalis have met with more inquiry, and the
sales effected establish an advance of Is. per cwt. In foreign
no sales of importance bare been made, chiefly for want of a
supply, as there is some inquiry, particularly for anything
suitable for refining purpeses. by public auction, 300 casks
of Porto Rico were offered, and which attracted a large at-
tendance both of town and country buyers. The views of the
importers were, however, so mmh above the present market
value, that the whole was taken in at from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per
cwt. above the obtainable rates of the day. The refined
market, both for stored goods, crushed, and pieces, is ex-
tremely active, and the refiners, although working to the
full extent and means of their plant, have no stocks on heed,
and large sales for forward delivery have again been madetat
remunerative rates to the manufacturer. Trade is still rather
dull at 18e.. to 19s. For Rum there has been much disposi-
tion shown to purchase, but the sales of the week are limited
to 100 puncheons, chiefly Jamaica, at an advance of ld.
gallon. A large business would have resulted had
been disposed to sell ; but, in anticipating that somsdis
will be done respecting the duties on this artidealkilasalpille
ing of parliament, many holden refuse to Mare prim at
• Present. We have no arrivals this week.

TALLOW.—Lrvearoot, Ja
of n. P
28.—The Tallow
ve 1
market continues steady ; the sales Petersburg Y.C. ha
been principally at 495., but during the last day or two there 1
hrie been a little more desire on the part of broaden to
realise. American Lard being extremely scarce, for 63
tierces and 60 barrels, offered by auction, 60s. 3tl. to 60e. 84.
pet ant. was paid, for not very hoe quality.
