MONEY and COMVIENCIAL NEWS
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The market for English Stocks still exhibits a
want of animation. .For immediate delivery Consols
realised 891 to 1, and for Account 89i to 90. Money being
scarce, Exchequer Bills gave way in premium to 13s. and
l ls., and East. India Bonds were also rather worse, viz.,
par to 2s. premium. Bank Stock was 170 for the °per.-
ing ; but special transfers for money were made at 169.
The New Three-and• a-Half per Cents. brought 98i to
and the Three per Cents. Reduced 89k.
The Foreign Market, as well as that for British Rail-
way Shares, was quite neglected. The Spanish Five per
Cents. with the May Coupons were at 224 to 21-1, being
a decline of full 4 per cent. on the highest quotation of
yesterday, which, however, it must be observed, was ra-
ther nominal than otherwise. Venezuela Stock was at
29, and Brazilian at 66 to 67; Austrian Metalliques were
worth 1091 to 110 ; and Dutch Five per Cents. of the
New Loan 99* to 1.
Great Western Railway, Shares were not higher than
781 and 78 ; the New 54-1 ; the Fifths 8 ; the Gosport
Junction 501 to 51 ; the London and Birmingham 158 ;
the Eastern Counties 8; the Blackwall New 51. 11 s. Bd.
to Si. 6s. Bd. ; and the South-Eastern 161. There was
nothing done in Brighton all day. Australasian Bank
New Shares were 5; and Colonial Bank also 5 premium.
Australian Agricultural Company's Shares were 10 prem.
The Foreign Exchanges were firm this afternoon.
Three months' bills were taken at the following rates :
—Paris, 25f. 65c. to 70c.; Amsterdam, 12 41- to i 1 ; Ant-
werp, 12 31 ; Frankfort, 149 to ; Hamburgh, 13 10 to
10-34 ; and Trieste, 9 52 to 54.
The following are the official returns of the exports of
bullion from the port of London, for the week ending
Thursday last :
Silver coin to Hamburgh 30,000 oz.
to Rotterdam 35,000 „
„ to St. Petersburgh 24,000 „
Silver bars to ditto 28,000 „
to Hamburgh

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The mar-
ket to-day has been very quiet., the sales amounting to
3,000 bales. Exporters and speculators have made no
purchases, and prices remain as per Friday's Circular.
LIVERPOOL SIIARE MARKET, SEPT. 6.—We have
to report an extremely limited business in the Share
Market ; the transactions are, Grand Junction, 201 ;
Liverpool and Manchester Quarter Shares, 46.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPT. 6.—The
Share Market has been dull ; prices generally keep
firm :—Manchester and Birmingham, 21 22 per share ;
London and Birmingham, 158 160 ; London and South
Western, 51 52; Stockport Bank, 2i.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter.

The Hamburgh Mail has arrived with the letters find
papers of Friday's date. No political news of the least
interest from there. Exchange comes the same. Gold
lower.
Up to the present time there has been scarcely a bar-
gain doing in either the English or Foreign Securities.
Money in the Stock Exchange seems tighter to-day,
and the Unfunded Debt is lower in consequence
The feeling of the tea-trade, it was expected, would
have been correctly ascertained to-day by the
manner in which the public sales went otr, but
as the holders will not at present make any further re-
duction, considering the decline that has already oc-
curred, quite as much has been done as circumstances
will justify. Scarcely any business has been done, and
a good portion has been withdrawn. We may, therefore,
call the market firmer.
Consols Account, 89i 90 ; Spanish, 22 ; but little
doing, and no transactions in any of the other Foreign
Funds.
