MONEY and COMMERCIAL

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING

There was a heavier market than ever for the Eng-
lish Stocks to day. The correspondence between Mr.'
Fox and Mr. Forsyth on the subject of Mr. M‘Leod's
imprisonment had an unfavourable effect, and the anti-
cipation of increased tightness in the Money Market,
both here and at Paris, when the new loan comes out,
tend to increase the depression. Consols for immediate
transfer receded from 89k to 88k. and fur the Ac-
count from 89k to 88k and 89. The market left off
heavily. Bank Stock was rather better, viz., 165, but
East India Stock dropped from 248 to 247. Exchequer
Bills were steady at 3s. to ss. premium ; the Reduced
Three and a Half per Cents. ranged from 98 to 98k ;
and the New Three and a Half per Cents. from 974
to 97k.
There was nothing of any interest stirring in the
Foreign Market to-day. The Active Spanish Bonds
realized 24k to 24 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents.
31k to and the Three per Cents. 20k to 19k. 'I be
South American Bonds were scarcely dealt in
at all. Pertivian brought 16} to 16k ; Buenos
Ayres, 21 to 23 ; and Brazilian, 721. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. ranged from .50 to
501. The Amsterdam mail brings prices as lower on
Tuesday, the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock closing
at 50 1-16 ; Danish Bonds realised 78f.
We have to notice a heavy market for the Railway
Shares, and lower rates. Great Western brought 25 ;
the New 11 to 11f ; the Fifth 51 and the South
Western 19k to 18a premium ; Brighton Shares were
7 to 74 ; Eastern Counties 15 ; and Edinburgh and
Glasgow 5/ discount ; Union Bank of Australia Shares
were 8k ; and London Joint Stock 2k premium.
The rates for bills of exchange on the Continent were
heavy again this afternoon. On Paris the quotation was
251. 50e. to 55e. ; on Hamburgh 13 7 ; and on Am-
sterdam 12 24.
The season for the re-opening of the navigation of
the St. Lawrence is looked forward to with considerable
interest by those connected commercially or otherwise
with the British Provinces in North America. It is
expected, now that the,Canadian Government has an
accredited agent in this country for emigration purposes,
there will again be even a more considerable addition to
the population of that noble possession than there was
last year, through the indefatigable exertions of Dr.
Rolph, and it is unquestionable that the employment
afforded to shipping, and the demand created for the
necessaries of consumption by such an influx, together
with the amount of money added to the local circulation,
must prove highly beneficial to our commerce in that
quarter of the globe.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
We have received the American papers by the Cambridge to
the 9th January, which contain the fall in the United Stites
Bank shares to 50 for six months, afterwards are quoted 52.
SALES OF STOCK, JAN. 7.—A fair business has been done
to .day at the Stock Exchange Board, and in most instances a
downward tendency. United States Bank closed yesterday at
55*, and opened this morning at 52, at which price 200 shares
were sold. The next sale was 55, when the sales fluctuated
until they got down to 50 sellers, six months. The last cash
sale was 250 at 52k, being 23/4 below the cicking sale of yester-
day, which is a decline of 12i per cent. on the sales of Mon-
day last.
Exchange upon London 8} 8:34.

Accounts from Mexico, received at New Orleans via Ha-
vannah, state that a law has been passed by the Mexican Con-
gress at its late session, imposing a duty on capers of four dollars
per arroba.
Advices from Tampico, by private letters dated in Novem-
ber, give the important information that Tampico is destitute
of flour, the inhabitants were anxiously waiting the arrival of
the Fame from Vera Cruz Kith a supply. One of the accounts
state that all bakers have suspended their business for want of
flour.

A Vera Cruz paper of the 24th November says, a violent
gale, about the lit of the month, caused the entire destruction
of three vessels in the port of San Blas, on the Pacific shore,
two of which were] Mexican, and one foreign. Fire lives
were lost.

The New York Money Market exhibited the same depres-
sion on the 7th which the following day presented in reference
to the United States Bank. Other Directors had been ap-
pointed, but their influence had not been exercised to the ad-
vantage of the Bank when the last accounts left. The various
statements should be received with great caution; the prejudice
and personal animosity among the .►merican Journal►sts is ex-
ceedingly obvious.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's
date.

Bouese or ADISTritDAM, Faa. I.—The Dutch Funds are
in demand, and for all of them there were buyers at the high
prices. The Integrals were 50 1-16 ; Society of Commerce
1601. The Foreign Funds were more firers, except Ardoin's,
which were lower ; Coupons were offered at 20i.
It is known that, for some time past, there was a negotiation
between the Cabinet of Madrid and the Northern Powers, for
the acknowledgement of the Spanish Government; it now ap-
pears, by the Gazette of Cologne, that the King of Prussia
will give the first example of this acknowledgement.
The Baltimore Patriot if the 7th January, has the following
in respect to:the United States Bank : —" We present in to-
day's Patriot, the full exhibition, fuller than any that has been
recently published of the condition and affairs of the United
States Bank, as submitted by the President and Directors of
that Institution, at the annual meeting of the stock-holders,
held on the 4th January. The statement is held to exhibit
the statement of the. Bank in an aspect somewhat more favour-
able than the general ant'cipation; in the absence of these
details, no dividend is, however, declared, tha profits of the
business of the Bank for the e last six m,,nths being applied to
the making whole of for:ner losses, and thus strengthening
its position. On the eve of resumption a Board of Directors
for the current year were elected at this meeting, and Mr.
Dunlop was re-elected President.

been inactive during the whole morning, which will Le per-
ceived by there being only three quotations.
