The Batavier Dutch steamer bas arrived, bringing the
Dutch prices from Amsterdam, of the 23d November.
Consols are not so good as in the earlier part of the
morning, when they were 901 for the Account ; at pre-
sent they may be quoted at 89Z; Money, 89k. This
heaviness may be attributed to the puts and calls which.
take place about four o'clock, -as well as the settling of
the account against to-morrow. Money is rather more
easy. Exchequer Bills 1 3 discount, par; Bank Stock,
lower, 160 159.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Active, which was in the
morning 23.4, has since receded to 22C; this depression is
owing to the manifesto of the Queen Regent of Spain. as
well as to the report that the speculative account in Spa-
nish, of Wright the banker has been sold out; Portu-
guese also lower, 341 • Three per Cents., 221; Colom-
bian, 26 ; Brazilian, 741% Mexican, 30 ; Dutch Two-and.
