MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CI Tl', Ql7_l:,:l''_::L' TO TihJi:L

There was a dull radar:.- ;,:or Cott,,:i 00l 0,, •
day; sales about 2,000 bales. Buyers had an abundant
choice, and prices were rather in their favour. The Railway
Share Market was very flat.
The accounts received to-day from the Continental grain
markets, notice continued purchases for exportation to Eng-
land, with much firmness in prices. Up to the 9th inst., the
weather was milder, and the ice was breaking up, but the
navigation is not expected to be free again for some time.
In Belgium about 100 waggons laden with grain had been
seized by the authorities when about to pass the froutiel
into France, contrary to the recent law prohibiting exports.
Nevertheless, a large quantity was known to have been con-
veyed since the law came into operation.
The Corn Market does not appear to have assumed any
very decided feature this morning. Some parties call it a
shade dearer for wheat than on Friday, but at least it may be
quoted firm, in the absence of extensive dealings, for which
the quieter state of the markets at Liverpool and in Ireland
will partly account.
Accourrs from the fair of Frankfort-on- the-Oder, dated
the 2d inst., stated that the quantity of goods brought there
was 75,000 cwt. The market falling earlier in the year than
usual, and the scarcity of money and dearness of food being
felt also, caused business to be rather slaek. The chief
transactions were in Berlin calicoes, mousselines de laine, and
single dyed woollens. In cloth, buckskins, and other similar
articles, there was not much done. Silks were dull of sale,
as also iron and steel fabrics, porcelain, glass, &c. In raw
products, such as skins, furs, bristles, &c., a fair business was
done.

There is no news yet of the steamer from Boston, but she
is hourly looked for.
....

The fineness of the Weather was expected to have operated
favourably upon the English Stock Market, and at the
opening there was rather a firmer appearance, but buyers do
not come forward freely, despite the impression in some
quarters that the operations for a decline in prices
have been carried too far. The conti❑ued export
of the precious metals and the firm state of the corn
market act very injuriously still upon the value of
funded property, because few can predict the extent of the
drain or the rise that may take place. Eiidently from the
increase shown in its "other securities," the Bank of Eng-.
land was tolerably liberal in its discounts up to the 6th inst.
Consols after being 88% to 14, have just dropped to '87%
for transfer to-morrow, and time bargains have been effected
at 88% to 88. Consols Scrip has been done at Ito 1% dis-
count. Exchequer-bills are par to 4 premium.
The Foreign Market has been very dull, and there is no
speculation going on. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 22N,
and the Three per Cents. 34%. The Deferred have been
16. Brazil Stock is marked 85%, and Mexican 21%. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 575/8.
Shares are affected by the heavy condition of the Stock
Market, but the sales have not been to any extent, and thus
the decline is rather checked. The settlement is going on
favourably.
