MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, as follows, viz., 4,000 American, at
3id. to 6d.; 100 Bahia, at /lid. to sd; 150 Egyptian, et
sd. to 61-d.; 400 Surats, 2id. to 3ecl.; and 30 Sea
Islands, at lid. to 10d. The market closed firmly, but
with little animation. The Railway Share Market was
rather better, and all the leading stock in good demand
at previous prices.
The accounts from abroad are rather meagre, the bad
weather having prevented arrivals. French affairs are
now watched with most anxiety, and still the predomi-
nant feeling is in favour of Cavaignac.
Notwithstanding the reiterated statement in some
quarters that the Bank of England will this day reduce
the rate of discount, we believe we may state that no such
intention exists; but at the same time we shall take due
care to keep our readers advised of what occurs.
A report upon the Metal market comes acceptably to
hand from a leading broker in London (Mr. Short).
In this we are informed that Welch iron continues is
limited demand, and the price has considerably deolined
during the month, sales of good makes having been
effected (but it is said not by makers) at 41. 15s. per
ton, free on hoard in Wales; and while Si. to 51. ss. per
ton is the general price asked, every desire is evinced 10
meet the market, if the doing sO would induce orders.
Scotch Pig Iron at
.Glasgow is quoted in the market
there about 415., assorted 3-5 No. 1, and 2.5 No. 3,
F. 0. 8., immediate cash, against storekeepers' warrants
or makers' undertakings ; but the makers' price for
early delivery is, according to make, from 2s. to 4s. per
ton above this price. But little progress has yet
beers made towards the accumulation of stock at
Glasgow, and a fair business is done daily for
consumption. There is not much demand for export,
as the late American advices announce a decline there,
with some increase of stocks. In the absence of export
orders, an increase of stock in makers' hands is expected
during the winter. Dealers, both here and at Liverpool,
are however but sparingly supplied.
In Swedish Iron there is scarce any business doing ;
the stock here is small.
Copper is in fair demand; the shipments to India dur-
ing the last month, it will be perceived, are consider-
able, amounting in all to 473 tons.
Tin-English common is in fair demand. Refined
continues extremely scarce. Banes, Tin, admissible to
home consumption, is held at 865., while for Banca im-
ported from Holland, and which can only be sold for
exportation, the price asked is 765. The present stock
of Banca and Straits is about 200 tons.
Tin Plates are still scarce, while the demand continues
good, very large parcels having been recently purchased,
chiefly for the United States.
Lead-English is in moderate demand for home con-
sumption, but not for export. Spanish of middling
quality has been sold at 141. 10s. per ton, duty paid, and
for superior qualities 15/. ss. per ton is asked.
Spelter on the spot is in little request, and some
slight business has been done at 141. 15s. per ton, and
for larger quantities it might be possible to get on at
shade lower. The present stock is 2,550 tons, against
2,235 tons at same period last year. For spring deli-
very 151. per ton is asked, at which figure and at 14/. 154
business has been done.
There are some symptoms of the Consol account
being Bullish, but the Bank is said to be affording
liberal accommodation on stock. The " continu-
ation" to January rather increases, and should
the sales of Stock be carried much furcther before
"settling" day, money will be in greater request among
the jobbers. It is impossible to say whether the sales
made, and which are for delivery, are really on account
of the loan. Parties most entitled to credit affirm
that they are so ; but others, who dislike the
idea, give a contrary opinion. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86k to 86k,
and the Three per Cents. 86k to
- Esschequer-
bills have been 38s. to 415., and India Bonds under 1,0004
38s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
Five per Cents. are nominally 111 to 12, and Portuguese
Four per Cents., 24 to 25. Mexican are 21} to 21i.
Brazil Stock has been at 73 to 75. Russian Bonds have
realised 101-1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 474.
Railway Shares are very fairly supported at the im-
proved values of yesterday. South-Eastern are flatter.
