COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
At this day's market Consols are lower. The
principal feature in the Stock Market is again of a
foreign-political character, a telegrom from the
United States announcing that Spain refuses at pre-
sent to consider any proposition from America.
Spanish Stock fell per cent., and American Secu-
rities are dull.
Consols are flat at 924 to 921 for money ;
ditto, for Account, —; Three per Cent. Re-
duced, 911; New Three per Cents, 911 *8 ;
Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, March, 8 3 prem. ; June,

ditto 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 1141; ditto

Paper, 5 per Cent.,
Foreign Stocks have received a check from the
tenor of the news received from America with
regard to Spain and Cuba, otherwise the im-
provement in Paris was calculated to have a good
effect. Portuguese are quoted 33:1 to 34 ; Vice-
roy Seven per Cents., 791 to 801 ; ditto Nino per
Cents., 971 to 97; ; Egyptian (1864), 901 to
911; ditto (1868), 754 to 761 ; Italian, 52/
to 521; Mexican, 111 to 121 ; Peru, 78i to

841 to 85 ; Charkof Railway, 801 to 81; Spanish
New Three per Cents., 27 to 271 ; Turkish Six per
vents., 65 to 66 ; and Turkish Five per Cents., 411
There is not much doing in the American market,
and the bonds are flat. The Five-Twenties are 83
t° 434, and the Ten-Forties 75 to 751. Erie are
24 to 271, Illinois 94 to 941.
The Railway market opened dull, but the relapse
from Saturday's:general advance is not considerable.
Great Northern is + lower, and South Eastern, Metro-
Politan, and Brighton/ each,while Midlandand Great
Western are firm. The following are the prices:—
Caledonian, 821 to 83 ; Great Eastern, 37 to 371

There is no important change in Bank Shares,
hat Agra A are flat at 11 to 111; Alliance, 121 to
13i ; Anglo-Austrian, 15 to 18 prem. ; Chartered
80Q1 Mercantile, 321 to 331 ; Consolidated, 4 to

gbeing 2s. 6d. higher. Construction and Mainten-
4nee are 281 to 29f, and Anglo-American 21/ 211.
111 Miscellaneous Shares National Discount are
;11 to 111 ; General Credit 11 to 1 dis ; Interna-
,ie°4l. Finance, 21 to 1i die. ; and Hudson's Bay,
.1.3 to 131.
In the Corn Market wheat is dull, with a down-
Ward tendency.
The sum of £41,000 in gold was taken from the
'auk on Saturday.
The several railway journals this week exalt the
Prospects of the Erie line, and, according to Hera-
Path) " with fair rates, it ought to be enabled to
pal'from 10 to 15 per cent. per annum dividend,
,especially when the great Pacific line, for which it
via the best route, is in full operation." Still, even
.hose who may admit the possible correctness of this
jilealation, must ask themselves what power
;(sleY have to obtain the dividend, even suppos-
."sig it to be earned. The line was a good line,
e,d capable, of earning good dividends, at theme
ell all its revenues were diverted and the price
pro down at 16. As any revival in this Etoek will
'i,°bably lead to a renewed introduction of New
t_°rk railway and other undertakings, it is neces-
;"7 that the European public should constantly be
ieeulinded of the fact that in that State there are no
tel means 'whatever by which they can protect
ttieir property, and that if they ever receive a re-
-4:11 Of a single dollar it must simply be consequent
ilia
the individual honesty of the parties who have
el. control. In some of the other States of the
the case may be different.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

SUNDAY.

The Emperor is better again, and, according to tt s
Moniteur, is making good progress. He has been driven h
an open carriage and taken long walks. It is said that the
doctors (Nelaton and Faniel) have taken a short holiday,
in consequence of. the improvement in the Imperial
patient.

The Thr...press's journey to Suez is much talked of in
conue^:ion. with the visit of M. de Lesseps to Saint Cloud.
It if: now thought that her Majesty will set cut on the 30th
iloptembcr, and the nroparations for her departure aro
vigorously proceeded with.

The Patric quotes with enthusiastic approval a passage
from the Universe' in which it is affirmed that Prance was
never more averse to a revolution than she is now. Pos-
sibly it is for this very reason that the present uncertain
position of affairs occasions such general anxiety. If we
are to judge frcm the reports continually in circulation,
the Emperor himself is not beyond the reach of this feeling.
➢cost of the rumours point to some chan:N in the form of
government, with a view to improving the chances of
retraining the throne for the Napoleonic dynasty. You
have heard, of course, the particulars of the abdication
scheme ; but there arc other rumours afloat which suggest
that, while the Emperor contemplates the possibility of
such an event, ho wishes to defer it to a future day, and to
prepare the people for the substitution of his son for himself
by associating him now with his government. According to
this story, a plebiscite or a Senatus-Consultum is to intro-
duce the young Prince to a share of his father's official
labours after a fashion formerly observed in Imperial
Rome.

The convocation of the Corps Legislatif is still the great
political question. Some attention has been excited by the
letter of N. do Keratry, in which he announces that ho
will present himself at his post on the 2Gth of
October (the constitutional limit of the recess), and he
hopes to meet forty or fifty deputies who will
join him in entering a protest against a prorogation which
he deems "worse than illegal." I hear that a deputy from
the Extreme Right contemplates a similar movement, but,
curiously enough, the Left and the irreconcileables have not
decided to take any part in it. If those keep aloof, there
is not much cause to apprehend any great results, though
any such movement would bo awkward at a time of so
much suppressed excitement. The affair shows plainly the
imprudence of the Covernment in prolonging the delay,
and so placing themselves in a position of needless embar-
rassment.

M. Drouyn do Lhuys has just given a brilliant enter-
tainment, which immediately gave rise to tho report that
he anticipated a return to his old official life before long.

It appears that Marshal Begnault is not so ill as was
supposed at first; ho has been suffering from a severe
attack of rheumatism, but at no time has ho been in
danger.

The ratrie declares that the French Government has
come to a decision respecting the (Ecumenical Council. It
has been determined that as the Council will only treat of
purely religions questions, there is no occasion for the
Government to be represented there. Some of the French
prelates who go there intend, if opportunity occurs, to
rep esent the interests of France on their own responsi;
bility, and the Court of Rome has accepted this solution of
the difficulty.

There is a report that Earon I3eust has left Baden, and
that he will come to Strasburg, and. probably to St. Cloud.
Should this turn out corrcet, there will be great excite-
ment in certain (1;1-raters, and we may look for all kinds of
speculatic;as on the subject.
The Emperor now sleeps at Villeneuve l'Etang, hi order
to escape the noise occasioned by the fact at St. Cloud.
General Prim did not succeed in his attempt to arrange
!waters with the American Envoy respecting the Cuban
affair. It was thought more prudent to wait and leave the
Cortes to decide the important question. Until then it is
believed that the American Government will not compli-
cate things by recognising the independence of Cuba.
After all it seems that the marriage of :M. Emile 011ivior
has not yet taken place. The Marseilles journals were
mistaken in the announcement, and the telegraphs copied
their error. The lady is the daughter of an Indian merchant,
who has a considerable fortune.

Queen Isabella went with her children to-day to the
fair at St. Cloud. The Prince Imperial also paid a visit
to the Circus, and stayed till ten o'clock.
I hear that the Prince of Wales did not go to St. Cloud
after all; but a general impression prevailed that he had
paid a visit to the Emperor.
A committee of Socialists have addressed a letter to
Louis Blanc in view of the coming supplementary elec-
tions. They wished to ascertain if the prominent Republi-
can would take the electoral oath, and have received for
answer a decided negative. A similar question, says M. Blanc,
was put to him by Marseilles, St. Etienne, and Paris. Ho calls
upon the peOple to demand the abolition of the oath, and
advises them to elect only those who refuse to take it.
Their votes will not be counted by the Government, it is
true, but the democratic electors may obtain a list of the
suffrages and putdisn them.

The following were the words in which the late
Wade Bolton, of Memphis, left Mrs. Jackson $lO,OOO :
" 1 give and bequeath the widow and children of Gen. T
J. Jackson, known as Stonewall Jackson, who fell at the
battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, ten thousand dollars,
as history tells me hie widow's furniture Imo said after his
41414 An debt."
