Rouen If. 75c. to If. 50c.; and Avignon from lf. 25c. to

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Liverpool Cotton market was quieter yesterday.
Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 were on speculation.
Prices were a shade worse. We fear that when it be-
comes known that the Bank of England have not ad-
vanced their charge for discounts, the fever of specu-
lation may again recur. Shares rather improved at
Liverpool.
We are glad to learn from Canada that there bad
been two Commissioners appointed under the Act of
June last, for a loan not exceeding 100,0001., to the suf-
ferers by the Quebec fires, for rebuilding ; but it
was understood that no debentures would be
issued until some preliminary steps bad been
taken. The only advantage to the sufferers should
the money be raised, will be getting it at three per cent.
upon giving good security for the repayment. Three
thousand a year, will be the utmost of the bonus to
Quecec, should the whole or the 100,0001. be issued.
Some, persons, seem, however, to have imagined, seeing
the remissness of Government, on several occasions, that
repayment would r.ot be exacted. The demands on the
public chest for debt, interest, and current expenditures,
will, however, no longer permit of former indulgences.
The arrivals in the river are extremely limited, on ac-
count of the weather, and supplies of (suit and other
articles in great request at this season are consequently
kept our.
The circumstance of the Bank of England not baying
advance d its terms for the discount of bills, has given much
satisfaction in the City, and there is an expectation that
we shall go quietly over Christmas, and enter upon the
New Year with s-mething like the confidence and bustle
of legitimate trading opsrations.
The public securities have been to-day very steady,
and are a shade higher. Consols realising 9311141, for the
account. Bank Stock is quiet at 206. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 954 to 96, and the Three
per Cents. 94 to 941. Exchequer-bills have been quoted
10s. to 13s. premium. Long Annuities are 98 to
9 fifteen-sixteenths.
In the Foreign House there has been no particular
movement and the speculative Stocks have been quite
neglected. Spanish Passives are sf. The Five per
Cents. Portugut se have been marked 82k. Mexican
Stock has realized 24, being a shade under the previous
rates. Brazil Stock has been quoted 86. Russian Bonds
have been at 111 i, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents.
at 601,
Shares are rather better to-day. Birmingham and
Oxford Junction have risen to 10 and .01; Caledonian
to 284 and 29; Brighton to 581- and 59; North Staff .rd
to 81 Shrewsbury and Birmingham to 5k i; Northern
of France to 101 and 11; and Paris and Lyons to 5i
