MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAR7'ER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
brisk. Sales, 4,000 bales, of which 3,700 were American,
at 4id. to 6d. per lb. In railway shares there was but
little doing, but the market was firm.
The accounts from the United States, per Britannia
steamer, are expected to-morrow, and the Message of
the President will reach by that opportunity.
From Rio de Janeiro there are advice': of November
14. The markets were dull for British manufactures,
and had not been improved by the tenor of the accounts
taken out from England by the Fury. The exchange
had been as high as 23d., but was last quoted at 270.
The .Six per Cent. Stock appears to have been in decided
favour, and had advanced 2 to 3 per cent.
The accounts from the Continent represent that trade
was dull, and that the weather had become so severe as
in most instances to close the navigation.
The speech of the King of the French has not excited
particular remark in the City, except so far as relates
to the notice of the Reform banquets. The progress of
these political alp:ions is viewed here with considerable
interest and curiosity, not likely to be diminished either
by any attempt to suppress them. The allusions to
foreign affairs are of that indefinite character which
excites no particular feeling, either favourable or

adverse.
The public securities have been very quiet to day,
and have maintained their value. Out of doors money
it easy, and the discount houses are allowing but four
per cent. on " call." The failure of Messrs. Deaves',
brothers, of Cork, and Messrs. Job, Wright, and Co., of
London. both in the Russia trade, has excited a little
uneasiness in the circle which it affects, but causes no
general apprehension. There are parties who
still anticipate considerable pressure in the
American Money Market, and calculate upon its
reaching here. Consols for Account have been 85i to
854; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 861 to 4;
and the Three per Cents. 854 to 4. Bank Stock is 1864
to 188. Exchequer-bills have realised Bs. to 12s. prem.

Railway Shares have been steady, with a moderate
business doing.
