COMMERCIAL MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Quarter to Three o'Clock.—The home funds aro
all working down tc-day, and the market extremely heavy.
A general impression appears to prevail, that the dealss
will not stop at the present rates, reduced as thy
are. The complications of the Spanish quassia",
combined with the state of the provision mai,
keta at home and' abroad, are the stated causes for the
depressed tone of opinion in moneyed circles. Consols_
are now quoted 951 to 6 for money, and 961 to / for time,
which is equal to a decline of 1 per cent, within two or three'
days. Exchequer hills are only lls. to 15s. premium. The
quotations o other home stooks are as in the list below.
The For: l',rn Market is equally or more depressed than
the home, with the greater disadvantage, moreover, that it
is difficult in present circumstances to do business to any
extent at the prices quoted in the more speculative stocks. For
Mexican, Spanish, and Portuguese, the quotations can be
considered as little better than nominal. Mexican are called
ssi to 4, sad evidently weak at those reduced rates. Spa-
nish Fives, 261 to 1, tho Threes, 381 to 4. Pottuguese Fours,
41 to 3, all with a downward tendency. For prices of
other foreign stocks see the list.

RAILWAYS.

The share and scrip market continues in the same
inactive condition, hut with little variation of the quo'ations.
PRUSSIAN RAILWAYS.--According to the Aige-
ateine of Berlin (quoted in a Paris parr), of the
27th ult., Prussia possessed at the close of 1841 127 miles
(Qy. German ?) of railway, the cost of which in French
money was 142 millions 807,500 francs, say about 5,712,3001.
The traffic receipts amounted to 13,780,300 fr., and the ex-
penditure to 7,201,747 fr. ; net profit 578,•534 francs,
equal to an average dividend at the rate of 4 francs
62 centimes per cent. Since the commencement of
1846, 62 miles of railway more have been opened, which
makes a total extent of 179 miles. It is expected that in the
course of the present year another line of 67 miles will be
opened ; there will then be 247 miles. In 1847 the works of
• line of 40 miles arc to be commenced.
