MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

There was rather less business doing in the funds to-
day, and prices though steady for the Government
Stocks were flat for the unfunded debt. Consols
for immediate transfer brought 89/ to 891, and 891 to I
for Account. Exchequer Bills were at Bs. to lOs. pre-

248. India Bonds were ls. discount to Is. premium.
The New Three-and. a-Half per Cents. brought 99 to
991, and Three per Cents. 88 to 4.
For the Foreign Bonds, notwithstanding the advance
which continues in Spanish Stock abroad, there has been
a less buoyant market here, and the rise has tempted
some of the speculators to realize profits. The Active
Spanish Bonds to-day were quoted 231 to 231, and the
Passive 51 to 51. Portuguese New Five per Cents. fluc-
tuated from 32 to 32k, and the Three per Cents. were
dull at 191. Mexican Bonds were 251, and Brazilian

Western were at 141 to 15 ; the New, si to 71 ' • Bir-
mingham Quarter at 161 ; and York and North Mid-

sons the weather has been rainy ; this• has caused the
canes cut to yield but indifferently ; it has, however,
been highly advantageous to the young cultivation, and
has afforded to the planter a prolonged season, to enable
him to supply fields which there is but too much reason

" The labourers of many estates during the earlier
portion of the month worked very irregularly. The fer-
ment caused amongst them by the operation of the Rum
