MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
It was said in the City, this afternoon, that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would probably make
known in the House this evening his intentions with
regard to meeting the expenditure of the country, and
this acted unfavourably on the Stock Market. The
quotations of Consols for immediate transfer were 894
to 891, and for the account 89-3- to 89k. Exchequer
Bills continued at 4s. to 6s. premium ; and India
Bonds at 10s. to ss. discount. Bank Stock was sent
down from 168 and 169 to 167 k and 166, but whether
this arises from any expectation of the financial arrange-
ments of Mr. Baring affecting the position of the Di-
rectors, we are unable to state. India Stock was dull
at 248 ; the New Three-and-a-Halt per Cents realised
981 to 974 ; and the Three per Cents. 90i to 89,1.
When Foreign States, which have often deceived us
before, begin to make a show of doing justice to us in
regard to our claims on them for money lent, we begin
to suspect some coming project for a new loan ; and as
the busy emissaries of Spain are trumpeting forth the
good intentions of M. Gamboa (which we ourselves do
not pretend to dispute) we conceive that the pubic
should be cautious in dealing in Spanish Stock at pre-
sent, and bide their time. No doubt their suspense
will only be of limited duration.

To-cay Active Spanish Bonds were at 2.5 to 2.1 ;
the New Portuguese Five per Cents. at 324 to 31-;,,,
being a slight decline ; and the Three per Cents. at 201
to 20-4 ; Danish at 781 ; Chilian at 60 ; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents, at 504 to
Shares were in more demand to-doe. Great Western
were 29 to 27;4i, the New at 131. the Fifths 6 tb 6i,
the London and Birmingham 89, the Quarter 25, the
Thirds 28, and the York and North Midland 22 prem.
Brighton were 6to 6i, Greenwich New 3 to 2.3,
Eastern Counties and North Midland 23 dis-
count. Australian Bank New Shares were 11 prem.
This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were
flat again, and three months paper was generally
quoted at a further slight reduction on each of the fol-
lowing cities :—llamburgli 13 to 7 ; Frankfort
14 8A- ; Amsterdam 12 2to ; Trieste 10 to 10 1,
and Paris 25 50 to 55.

891 ; Exchequer Bills, 6 4 prem. ; Bank Stock, 1671 166,
