MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCA.

From the 24th ult. to the 7th inst., both inclusive, the
East India Company drew to the amount of 108,7931.
2a. 3d. on the three Presidencies. There will probably
be 3,500,0004 drawn for during 1852-3.
A most erroneous statement having appeared in an
evening contemporary, to the effect that the Bank of
England had lowered the price of standard gold to
31. 17s. 9d., and that great dissatisfaction prevailed in
the City in consequence, it may be as well to state that
the Bank never gave more than that price, and, conse-
quently, that no dissatisfaction is or can be felt. The
Bank is merely reducing the value of foreign coins not
of standard fineness, and upon which it would sustain a
loss now gold is so abundant. We explained this on
Saturday, and now give the efficial notice:—
" The Bank of England will purchase gold ingots at
the rate of 31. 17s. 9d. per ounce of standard gold,' only
when the parcel shall in the aggregate be of a quality
equal or superior to the standard of 22 carats fine, and
be fit for coi age without going through the process of
refinage. Fur the convenience of the sellers, however,
the Bank will purchase gold ingots of a quality not
under 21 carats fine, on receiving from the seller an
allowance equivalent to the expense of raising it to
standard. The Bank will purchase American eagles,
French 20 franc pieces, and Dutch guilders, at the rate
of 31. 16s. lid. per ounce."

The national balance-sheet for the year ending sth
January last has been published, The receipts, as we
already know, were 52,233,0661., and the expenditure
was 49 506,6101 This includes 23,029 7491. as interest
of the Permanent Debt, and 3,784,6641. of the Termi-
nable Annuities, besides 402,7131. for Exchequer•bills.
The excess of income over expenditure was 2,726,3961.

From a second account information is obtained of the
balances of the public money, &c., and the following are
the most interesting items:— _ _ _

Balance in the Exchequer, Jan. 5, 1351 £9,245,676
Applied during the year to reduction of debt 3,012,099
Advances fur local works, including
1,075,1061. for drainage, &c , less amount
repaid
Balances in the Exchequer, Jan. 5, 1852 ... 8,331,637
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American and
500 Surat were taken for export; the market was quiet
but steady, at previous rates. The sales comprised
5.500 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to
6id., 100 Bahia at sad. to 300 Egyptian at 6d. to
9d., and 1,000 Surat at 24d. to 4d, per lb.—The Share
Market was firm, and prices had an upward tendency.
Accounts from America of the 28th ult. have come to
hand. There had been a good deal of debating upon the
Mexican indemnity money, the difference of opinion be-
ing whether it should be paid in New York. The
Congress had gone into a Committee of Ways and Means
upon the subj▪
ect.
The Trent steamer brings favourable advices from
the West Indi▪ a colonies. The weather was very pro-
pitious for the crops.
From Mexico we learn that the Republic continued
quiet. There was an increased export duty of 21 per
cent. on the exportation of specie. Mr. Falconnet has
arrived.

The English Stocks are very firm, but there is not
much speculative business doing. The " options" are
coming off and they influence the quotations, to-morrow
being settling day. Investments fur money seem still to
be iu progress. The New Three -and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 98i to and the Three per
Cents. 97* to Bank Stock is very firm at 217. but
India Stuck has declined to 258. Consols are 96i for
Transfer and 96i for Account, showing a slight " bac-
cadation." Exchequer-uills have been at 61s. tai 645.,
end India Bonds at 72•. There are about 2,000,000 dol-
lars in bullion from New York and Mexico.
Iu the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have at-
tracted most attention, and have further improved. The
remittance for the dividend is only 42,000 dollars, as far
as we at present know, but the certainty of the appro-
priation being voted, and the fact of Mr. Falconnet
having made arrangements for the dividend overdue,
is in favour of the Bonds, which have realised 321 to
33k. Grenada Stock is quiet at 161 for the Active, and
6i tor the Deferred. Equador Bonds are at 4. Peru-
vian Old Stuck is North 91-i- to 95, and the
Deferred 47} Spanish Bonds have recovered a
hal,. The Five per Cents. are 23 to *,
and the Three per Cents. 17. Sardinian Stock
is at 87k. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been at 91* to 4, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 58i 1, and Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101.
The R tilway Share Market is buoyant, and an in.
creased business is doirg. Lines leased at fixed rentals
and Preference Shares are more sought after.
Gold Mines are steady.
