MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

It is satisractory to mention tl c entire extrication of
Messrs. Johi,ston and Co. from their recent difficulties,
another dividend of 10 in the pound, making in all 203.,
having been announced as payable in the course of a few
days. The arrangements concerning Messrs. Wright's
banking-house are also believed to be making some
progress.
Consols closed this afternoon at 89 for the Opening,
ex. div. ; Exchequer Bills at 3s. premium ; India
Bonds at 14s. premium; Bank Stock at 156} to 156,
and Reduced Three per Cents. at 88i.
The accounts from the Peninsula, received to-day,
were not of a nature to encourage speculation, the ad-
dress of the Queen of Portugal being a mere matter of
course affair, which the bondholders have long been ac-
customed to. The Active Spanish Stock ranged from
238 to 241, and the Passive from 51 to 58; Portuguese
New Five per Cents. from 348 to 341 for account,
and the Three per Cents. from 22 to 221. The ad-
vices from Madrid continue unsatisfactory as respects
both the want of harmony among the members of the
Regency, and, what is even worse, the want of cash.
Colombian Old Bonds were at 24,1, Mexican at 29f 1
to 30, Peruvian at 16, and Brazilian at 71, all except
Mexican being dull at those quotations. Austrian
Bonds were marked 1071, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 511 to 8.
The Railway Shares were not very animated to-day,
but they kept up their previous value. Great Western
were at 22} ; the New at 9} to ; the Fifths at sto
48 ; the Manchester and Leeds at 8 ; and the New at
4 premium. Brighton Shares were 10 to 9i ; Man-
chester and Birmingham, 13} to 13 ; North Midland,
27} ; South Eastern, 168 ; Eastern Counties, 141 ;
and Birmingham and Gloucester, 23 discount. Pro-
vincial Bank of Ireland Shares were at 191 premium.
