MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wero
2,500 to 3,000 bales, including 1,000 bales American
for export. Business was dull, but there was a better
feeling. Railway shares also improved a little.
A report of the interview between Lord John Russell
and the deputation from Birmingham, with reference to
the financial and commercial difficulties of the country
has, of course, been a matter of general conversation in
the leading circles of the City this morning. There ap-
pears however to be but little of novelty in the general
discussions. Mr. Salt, one of the deputation, spoke out
rather strongly, it is thought as he complained of the
extreme ignorance of Ministers in their legislating on
questions of such vast importance without inquiry, but
directly refusing to inquire. It is said his Lord-
ship was somewhat nettled at this. Certainly
=is is not the opinion hero that his Lord-
'ship is right that on affording further relief
there would be tenfold suffering hereafter. That
his Lordship is wavering in his views is absolutely cer-
tain, for what other construction can be placed to his
deliberate reply to an express question from Mr. Salt,
whether his Lordship was prepared to grant, at present
efficient relief and full inquiry into the effects of the ex-
isting monetary legislation. The reply is, "I do not
say that I will or I will not." It is pretty evident that
his Lordship is desirous of going no further without the
authority of Parliament.
There is a report just now current that an agency
house at Plymouth has been placed in difficulties. It
is understood that although the firm is on the spot de-
signated as a banker, yet it has no London banker as its
agent here. The principal sufferers will be those
locally situated, and probably many connected with the
navy have claims upon it.
There are not any arrivals in the City this morning
from the colonies.

Usually the sth of November is a day of fun in the
Stock markets with fireworks, &c., but this has been a
real business day. Consols for the Account have fluc-
tuated from 834 to 834, but have since receded to
83. Money Stock has been in very good demand.
The premium on Exchequer-bills has ralied to
12s. discount, while the small are at 3s. premium.
Consols for immediate Transfer from 831 have just
fallen to 83. Bank Stock is 184 to 186 ; East India
Stock at 2281 ; India Bonds at 265. discount ; and the
New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have been at
834, and at 83 and 83i.

The Foreign Funds have been little influenced by the
rapid changes in Consols. Brazilian have been at 76k;
the New Bonds at 75 ; Danish at 794 ; Portuguese Five
per Cent. at 74/ ; Spanish Passive at 51 ; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 53i to 53g.
In the Railway Share Market there is more spirit dis-
played to day. Great Western's old are up about 5/.
per share, the Midlands are also in request, as well as
the York and North Midland. A few of the foreign
lines were creeping up a trifle.
