MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 3,000
bales at Friday's rates. The trade were the only buyers.
—There was no new feature in Shares. Birmingham and
Gloucester Quarter, 233 i ; Edinburgh and Glisgow, 66 Great
Weetern Half, 72k; Midland Counties, 90; Paris and Or-
leans 371 ; South-Eastern, 354 ; Ditto New, 9i.
The second portion of the lean authorised to be raised in
this country, and guaranteed bY her Majesty's Government,
has been announced for competition. The money so obtained
is to be applied exclusively to the commencement and com-
pletion of public works in Canada. Thus a fund will become
available for employing a number of settlers who may proceed
as emigrants this year, as well as to aid those already in the
colony. The biddings for this loan are to be made at the Trea-
sury on Friday next, and the whole amount now required is
300,000/. When it is recollected that a strong competition
was shown to obtain a portion of the first - contract- for a
similar sum, and that the present Canada Guarantee Deben-
tures, bearing interest at 4 per cent., are worth 112, little
doubt is entertained that the present loan -will -be eagerly
sought after, especially as money is worth- scanely above 14
to 2 per cent.

34iny speculations have taken place this morning on the
subject of the Budget, and one or two leading men are sup-
posed to have an idea of the intentions of life Government ;
but 'as the period has now so nearly arrived when the -public
will; be fully informed on the subject, it is not worth while to
occdpy space in alluding to general statements on the subject.
We have seen accounts from several leading agricultural
dist -lets this morning, which state that the wheat plant is
Fanorally healthy, indicative of abundance ; notwithstanding
It isi a fact that speculation in foreign grain has commenced
on the Continent; here, however, the
,quantity upon which
duty has been paid recently. is comparatively small.- The
farn;iers are now beginning to complain of tire want of rain,
mo especially to bring forward the spring-sown Wheats.
e adyices received to-day' 'from Lisbon haVe excited
so attention, as Showing that the:revolution has become'
mo serious 'than was:anticipated, and unless some decisive
blow is early struck, it is the' opinion of many well-informed
parties that we shall hear of insurrections a 1 'Espqgyzol,
thrOughout the kingdom. Of course the bondholders have
a direct interest at stake, as their dividends:are _partly de-
pendent for regular -payment upon the maintenance of_peace.:
Much expectation is indulged in, among those- interested
in the East India and China trade, as to iwhom is likely to
fill the important trust of acting as the 'Governor-General of
India. There are not afeW who think Earl de Grey is not an
unlikely party to be-delegated to fill that important post.
The nomination of successor at present is the great object of
the Court of Directors of the East India Company,- subject of
course to the sanction of the Board of Control and the Go-
vernment. ,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY

Fresh up this morning, we received a full average supply of
Wheat from Essex; but from Suffolk and Kent the receipts
were comparatively small. The demand for English Wheat
ruled somewhat inactive. However, the finest parcels found
buyers, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday
last ; but the value of the middling and inferior kinds was
with difficulty supported. Fine Foreign Wheat at about
stationary prices. In bonded parcels the rates were almost
nominal. For Foreign Barley last week's figures were sup-
ported. Malt at last Monday's quotations. The best potato
Oats at somewhat enhanced rates. In other kinds, not much
was passing. Both Beans and Pea:: were held at higher
rates.
