CITY, QUAt?TER TO THREE.
The Co win Market at Liverpool 3 eqerday was Very
heavy again. Sales, 2,000 bales. Railway Shares im-
proved a little.
There are not any colonial arrivals of importance an-
nolinced this morning in the City.
It is understood that the memorial of the East
India and China Trade Association, pressing upon
the Government the policy of increased protection being
given to the Sugars of the East and West Indies, has,
been forwarded to the Government by the East India
Company, with the strongest request that the prayer of
the memorialists should be acceded to.
There is a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Trueman
and Cook, the colonial brokers, who failed some time
back, but the result is not yet known. It is expected
that the statement of accounts will be a most satis-

_ _ ---
factory one.
In the public securities the transactions to•day have
been slight. Consuls for the Account opened at 851.
and receded to 85. The report of yesterday of the in-
tended abdication of Louis Philippe is no longer a matter
of remark, it having been entirely unsupported. Ex-
chequer-bills are somewhat flat at Bs. to lls. premium
and India Bonds are at 12s. discount. The Three per
Cents. Reduced have fallen from 841 to 841.
The only quotations in the Foreig❑ Bond Market
to-day have been in Chilian Six per Cents. at 88; in
Danish Three per Cents. at 49; in Portuguese Four per
Cents. at 221; in Russian at 107; in the Spanish Three
per Cents. at 301; and in the Dutch Two-and-a• Half
per Cents. at 56.
The Railway Share Market still continues to wear an
unfavourable aspect.
Since writing what precedes, the statement of the firm
of Trueman and Cook has come to hand. The liabi-
lities are about 379,0001. to 381,0001 The sum of
20s. in the pound is to be paid thus :-ss. on the 18th
January next, ss. on the 18th March, Si, on the 18th
September, 2s. 6d. on the 18th January, 1849, and
2s. 6d. on the 11th April following, The concern is to
be wound up under inspection. The chair was taken by
Mr.Kingscote, and the business of the day went off
amicably. One of the inspectors named was Mr. J.
Bates, of Baring, Brothers, and Co.
