MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at LiVerpool yesterday were again
large—about 700 bags—Of which 1,000 were taken on specu-
lation. Pfices were firmly supported.
There are no arrivals in the City to-day, and the state of
matters generally is very quiet.
The Funds have not rallied from yesterday's quotations,
and except in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which
hare been marked 96% %, there has not been much doing.
Consols are 95% 3/4 for present transfer, and 96 for time,
though alrnoq, nominal. Bank Stock has been firm at 205
to 206. Exchequer-bills have been marked 19s. to 235. prem.
The Foreign Stocks have been for the most part a shade
lower than yesterday, but we can quote no decided alteration.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25, and the Three per Cents.
about 36% %. Mexican are flat at 3114, and Brazilian at
81% to 82. French Five per Cents. are 119 25, with the
exchange at 25 80. Russian Bonds are 111.
The Share Market has been dull, and the chief business out
of doors has been in buying up scrip where there is a chance
of receiving back more of the deposit than will cover the
amount laid out in the purchase.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, during the
present week, have been considerably on the increase ; yet, as
nearly the whole of the parcels from Lincolnshire have gone direct to
the millers, the show of samples of that article hers to-day, was
small ; still, however, the demand was in a sluggish state, at barely
3londay,s prices. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat
have come to hand, and been landed in bond. So little was doing in
it, tree as well as under I,ck, that the quotations were Almost no-
minal. Barley and Malt, though iu short supply, were excessively
dull, and prkes•had a downward tendency. From all parts, the re-
ceipts of Oats were very small, owing to which, the Oat trade was
firm, at an advance in the quotations, of quite Od per quarter. Beans
were a dull sale ; but Peas were quite as dear. In Flour next ti no-
thing was doing.
