MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Market for the English Securities was very de-
pressed to-day, and there was more disposition to effect
sales. Consols for immediate transfer were reduced
from 89} to 891 to 1, closing at the intermediate value
of 891. For Account the quotations were 89i to the
last bargain being at 89f. Bank Stock was as low as
1671 ; and South Sea Stock was marked 98g. Exchequer
Bills were 14s. to 16s. premium ; India Bonds, 6s. to Bs.
premium ; and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
98* to 4.
The feature in the Foreign Market was a decline
again in Spanish Bonds, in consequence of sales effected
by the parties who, in the Stock Exchange, go under the
denomination of the Pigeon-men," these affecting to re-
gard the state of affairs in Spain in an unfavourable light.
The Active Swish Stock was flat at 19i for money, but
touched 191,4 aeogunt ; Portuguese Oldl Five per Cents,
were at 57 ittidColombian Bonds at 20 to 191 ; Danish
brought IV and Dutch Two-and- a-Half per Cents,
511 to s:i. A
The sales in the Share Market were not extensive,
but, nevertheless, the quotations gave way wherever they
were attempted. Great Western were at 17 ; the New
at 6 ; the Fifths at 4} to 41 ; London and Birmingham,
Quarter, at 17} ; the New at 211 ; and the South
Western at 131 to 12 y premium ; Brighton were 61 to
7i ; Blackwall 10, and South Eastern 20k to 201 dis-
count. Union Bank of London Shares were It discount.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 10.—We have
had a very quiet Cotton market to-day, the sales not
itinountino• to more than 1,000 bales at the previous quo-
tations, boi4v§§ has beell confined entirely to the
trade,

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AL7G. 10.—The follow-
ing are the transactions :—Grand Junction, Quarter
Shares, 27 ; London and Birmingham, 160 ; Ditto New
Shares, 24 ; London and Brighton, 43 ; London and
South Western, 52 ; North Midland, 64i.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 10.—But few
transactions in Shares have been reported to-day, al-
though the present low prices of Railway Stock afford a
safe and eligible opportunity for capitalists to effect in-
vestments :—Midland Counties, 85 ; North Midland
Thirds, 9i ; North Union, 88 ; Manchester. Bolton, and
Bury, 55 ; Grand Junction, 198.

The British Market opened this morning fiat and heavy
owing to the change in the weather.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon a purchase was
made of near one hundred thousand Consols, said to be
by the Government broker, which caused the Market to
recover from its previous flatness.
No arrivals, nor any news.
The drooping state of the public Funds, added to the
wariness displayed by our monied men in all their
operations, show clearly enough the pdss to which
things are come ; and we may fairly observe, that
what with bad trade, bad weather, and the prospect
of a Ministry disinclined to do what alone can make up
in some measure for either, all classes have reason to
look twice before entering into fresh engagements.
The discussions in the City upon ;lie question
of commercial reform are becoming every day
more frequent and earnest, and the views of intelligent
and wealthy foreigners resident here, and engaged in
business pursuits, generally concur in censuring the
impolicy of our food regulations, as enabling them
to compete with us in the race of cheap manu-
facturing. We may further add, that the shoe
pinches so much with many of the merchants pro-
fessing Conservative politics, that they begin to look with
anxiety to the adoption of some liberal measures which
they before strenuously opposed, even by the new
Ministry.

came necessary to demand assistance from the neigh-
bouring Pachas.
