MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
heavy. Sales, 3,500 balsa. Railway Shares were a
shade better.
The Money Market is rather more feverish to-day,
on account of the intelligence from Paris of the renewal
of disturbances, but probably in the end there will
be no particular influence exercised upon it, or rather
the reaction that has occurred may be recovered, should
peace he restored to France. The commercial markets
have not been affected hitherto, but must be somewhat
clogged, unless an alteration occurs.
The accounts by the Tay steamer, from the West Indies,
are given fully in another column of The Sun, but we may
remark that there is not any particular feature in them.
The mercantile houses in the City state, that their corre-
spondents are specially anxious to learn whether there
is a hope of the discriminating duties being reim-
posed upon sugar, and we need hardly remark that this
anxiety will not be long ere it is relieved, though not,
perhaps, in the way anticipated. Our Government cannot
return, in the present temper of the times, to the sys-
tem of class legislation, and is not so inclined.
A small firm in the African trade at Liverpool is an-
nounced as having suspended payment.
The Belgian Government has asked the Chamber of
Deputies for a loan of 25,000,000 francs, or permission
to issue Exchequer-bills to that amount.
The Funds have to-day felt more seriously tho effect
of the accounts from Paris, which now are regarded
with some anxiety. Consols opened at 88i, fell to 87,
and are now 81 to 88. Time bargains were made at
881 to 88, and since at Bsll. The settlement of
the account has been completed to-day, and the pay-
ments this morning have been made with tolerable
regularity, although one or two parties are in difficulties.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 30s. premium. Bank
Stock is worth 198 to 1991, and India Stock 244. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 891
and 89.
Spanish Active Bonds are 20i and Portuguese small
26. Brazil Stock is worth $34 to $4l. Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. are 331.
Shares are dull.
