CITY, QUARTER TO- TII4•E.E.

The Cot! on 3arket at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 4,000 bales. American realised 3d. to
sid. per lb. Railway shares were dull, and rather lower
rates were taken.
The encouragement of domestic industry—a manifest
discouragement of free-trade principles—is likely to be in
favour with foreign Governments, as well as with the
British Court. The Dutch War Department has given
notice that the shirting supplied to the army must be
officially certified as being of home manufacture.
There are not many commercial letters in town from
the Continent with late advices of general interest, but
those which have come to hand seem almost uniformly
unfavourable, the writers conceiving, and no doubt
justly, that it is impossible to enter into business opera-
tions while political revolutions and counter-revolutions
are almost daily occurring, and, moreover, with symp-
toms of Conservative re-action in some quarters. The
greatest interest is felt for to-morrow's mail from Ham-
burgh, as it is supposed there may be some defi-
finitive news from Denmark. Russian merchants give
it as their opinion that the Government at
St. Petersburgh will strictly enforce the existing treaties,
and the only circumstance that can prevent hostilities is
the " backing out " of Prussia. General Wrangel's war
levies in Jutland scarcely hold out much promise of this.
The Spanish affair also excites great interest, and
further disclosures are anxiously looked for. In Perlis-
nit nt many anticipate important results to the Ministry,
and there is a feeling among well-informed Jews that
the Disabilities Bill will not pass the Lords.
There has been a renewal of last Thursday's report,
that we expect a reduction of the minimum rate of dis-
count at the Bank of England. If such should take
place an immediate intimation will be given in The Sun
under this head.
The Stock Market is exceedingly dull to-day.
There are no money purchases making, and it is
said that the jobbers are more in want of cash than
stock. The indication is that we have a complete change
to the state of matters a short time since, Consols having
been only 84 to 84* for Transfer, though 84 to 841 for
Account. Exchequer-bills are 395. to 445. premium.
Bank Stock is 191 to 193, and India Stock 232 to 234.
Spanish Bonds are heavy at 11* to 12 for the Five per
Cents., and at 21* for the Three per Cents.; Mexican
Bonds are 15i; Dutch Four per Cents. are 61 to 62.
Shares are flatter.
