WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1848.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, tj 11 A R:TE R TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, 1
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 pursued by Austria, which, as long as Prince Met- I
ternich rules, is not likely to be of a yielding character,
The letters *inn 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 render 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 back a little since. Consols
were 884 to 8914 for transfer, since lifq to 89, and are
now 88i to 894. For January the rates are also 884 to
894. Exchequer-bills have realised 275. to 30s. pre-
mium, and India Bonds 20s. to 235. premium, Bank
Stock keeps at 1983 to 200, and India Stock at 2394.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
894 to 90k, and the Three per Cents. 89 to 4.
The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish
Bonds aro merely nominal. Portuguese Four per Gent.
Stock has been quoted 26, and Brazilian Small 843.
Danish Bonds have been 834 to 844, Belgian Four-and-
, a-Half per Cents. 91, and Dutch Two-and a-Half per
Cents. 534 to 544.
Railway Shares are upon the whole rather firmer
again, but business is by no means animated.
