MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Cr! Y, QUAI?TER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull,
only 2,000 bales being sold at about the previous rates.
Railway Shares were quiet.
We have no intelligence yet of the West India mail.
The accounts received from the Continent attract
considerable attention here, and there is more anxiety
respecting the affairs of Italy, and the policy that will
be pumed by Austria, which, as long as Prince 'Met-
ternich rules, is Lot likely to be of a yielding chs-racter,
The letters from the manufacturing districts are not
of a satisfactory tenor, and there is evidently much
depression in trade. This will restrict the consumption
of excisable articles, and affect the revenue, though it
may rcnder money cheaper than ever.
The Funds are much the same as they were yesterday
afternoon, with a moderate business doing. Prices
opened better, but have gone buck a little since. Consols
were 883 to 89* for transfer, since 884 to 89, and are
now 883 to 89*. For January the rates are also 883 to
893. Exchequer-bills have realised 275. to 30s. pre-
mium, and India Bonds 20s. to 235. premium, Bank
Btock keeps at 1983 to 200, and India Stock at 2393.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
893 to 903, and the Three per Cents. 89 to 3.
The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish
Bonds aro merely nominal. Portuguese Four per Cent.
Stock has been quoted 26, and Brasilian Small 843.
Danish Bonds have been 833 to 843, Belgian Four-and-
a-llalf per Cents. 91, and Dutch Two-and•a•Half per
Cents. 534 to 543.
Railway Shares are upon the whole rather firmer
again, but business is by no means animated.
