CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

- -
'rho Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
root Sales, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares had further
improved. Midland were in good request, and the
value of the principal lines was increasing.
The accounts received from the continental cities are
of the character anticipated, the first intelligence of the
outbreak of the revolution having occasioned visible
agitation among the people, and anxiety on• the part of
the Governments. The continued moderate tone towards
foreign states of the men now at the head of
Miura in France should inspire confidence
however, when it becomes known, especially after the
recognition of the Republic by England. The declara-
tion of independence by Neufchatel is regarded, never-
theless, as being somewhat embarrassing under the cir-
cumstances.
The intelligence from the West India colonies by the
mail steamer is of a chequered character. The weather
in parts of Jamaica was favourable, but in others
extremely dry. Even where good crops were made
the return would not cover the expenditure, which was
being curtailed in all directions by the discharge of
book-keepers and other European employds. In Barba-
does the suspension of the West India Bank occasioned
much distress, and there was no prospect of the liabili •
ties being met within a reasonable period. Two or
three years will probably be required to pay off all
claims. The other colonies were suffering from the
great depression in the value of produce.
There are accounts of Feb. 16 from New York by the
Cambridge packet-ship. The value of American
Securities had improved 1 to 11 per cent.
Accounts to the end of December from Valparaiso
notice some scarcity of shipping.
Money is easier in the City to-day, and confidence
stronger generally.
Renewed orders for the purchases of money stock
have given strength to the Consol market, the heavy de-
cline in which seems to have been in anticipation of
almost everything untoward that may arise. The
speculators for a fall have, in fact, made their calculation
upon disturbances in Germany and Italy, or with the
prospect of peace between France and Bnglar.d, a fall
of 10 per cent. would, not have been brought about.
Consols have ranged from 82i to 821. Exchequer-bills
have advanced to 255. and 295. premium. Bank Stock is
Worth 194. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 83k.
In the Foreign Securities the transactions have been
numerous. For the first time since the crisis Belgian
Bonds have been officially quoted, the price being 65 for
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. On Friday last they
Were nominally 55, and on the 22d ult. 94 to 91. Brazil
Stock has been quoted 79. Mexican has realised 14/ to
131- Peruvian Bonds are 26. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been 16f to 171. Spanish Five: per
Cents. 13} i, and the Three per Cents. 24 to 241, being
about previous rates. Dutch Two•and• a-Half per Cents.
Were quoted 441, and the Four per Cents. 721.
Railway Shares have been rather looking np again,
and there is a better disposition to do business at the
higher rates established, even for some of the French
lines, except for Boulogne and Amiens.
