French merchandise shall be prohibited or subject to
a greater import duty than 5 per cent. ad valorem,
except wine, brandy, and other spirituous liquors,
upon which the Government of the islands may im-
pose such duty as it may think fit, provided it does
not amount to an absolute prohibition.

The Paris Bourse continued on Thursday to suffer

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIII?EE.
The Cotton Market, at Liverpool, has been firm this
week, and although it has received a check by the Bank
of England measures, prices have ranged about A-d. per
lb. higher. The sales of the week are 25,510 bales ;
Stock, 492,570 bales, against 769,930 bales at this time
last year. Shares werel heavy.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs.
Lamond and Co., was flat, and prices were again lower.
The market generally for shares had a very dull aspect,
and the fall in Consuls made them rather unsaleable,
except at very reduced prices. The following are a few
of the principal sales :
East Indian £o 6 6
Great Western of Bengal 0 5
Taw Vale Extension and Duck . 2 5 0
Manchester and Southaewton 1 0 0
South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole
North British Extension .
Great Northern
North Staffordshire
Ambergate, Nottingham, & Boston, ex int 2 2 6
Eastern Counties, York Extension 4 5 0
Newport and Abergavenny 1 15 0
Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 1 0 0
Reading, Guildford, and Reigate ... 4 16 0
Shropshire Union and Canal 0 12
Paris and Lyons 5 0 0
We have no arrivals today beyond those from the
continental ports.
The Bank of England weekly return, made up to the
3d instant, is important in respect both to the reduction
of bullion and of unemployed notes, which the directors
had drawn out of the banking department to increase
their circulation and provide for the amount required to
make advances upon the mass of bills offi•red to them.
After the 17th inst. a great deal of money will probably
be returned into the Bank coffers, owing to the bills under
discount running out, Lind the Bank steadily decreasing
its loans in the meantime. The following analysis de-
serves special attention:—
Notes issued
Decrease
Notes unemployed
Decrease
Rest increase
Public deposits decrease
Other deposits increase
Seven-day and other bills increase 125,654
Other securities increase
Bullion

Decrease 769,173
The funds have been fluctuating viol ntly again this
morning, though at present they have rallied a little.
Consols have been as low as 1-5-1,- for Tuesday, and
even 854 for the Account day, but are now 86k.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 85i
to 861. Bank Stock has fallen to 194. Exchequer-
LANs are 3s. discount to par. One reason given for this
further decline is the agreement said to have been
made for the Bank of England to lend stock, which the
jobbers expect to see thrown on the market by the
borrowers.
The Foreign Bonds are comparatively steady. Spanish
Five per Cents., 24i, and the Three per Cents., 35-a ;
Portuguese Four per Cents., 341 to 35.
Railway Shares have all been drooping, and sales are
rather more pressed.
