MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day, at firm rates. Sales 5,000 bales, all to the trade. There
was a good demand for Railway Shares, at steady prices.
Bristol and Gloucester, 5914 ; Caledonian, 7% 1%; Chester
and Birkenhead, 71/3 12 ; Churnet Valley, 8% 34 ; Dublin

There are no arrivals to-day from any quarter.
The Funds have been very firm again, Consols for transfer
being 99% to par, and for April, 100% to 4. The premium
on Exchequer-bills is 635. to 665., being Is. higher. The
advises from Paris show that the reduction of the Five per
Cents. is fully expected to be carried out, but this is more
likely to influence the numerous French Railway Shares
held here, than to enhance the value of British securities
already high, and as to French Stock, the bargains here are
"few and far between." Bank Stock for Account has been
2141/1 to 215, and India Stock, 284. India Bonds, under
1000/., are 70s. premium.
The foreign investments have been rather lively. Spanish
Actives have receded to 3014 and 29%, but the Three per
Cents. continue at 41%. Some interest is felt respecting the
decision on the suspension of the sales of clergy lands, but the
sales to-day are, no doubt, merely speculative, and to realise
profits. Portuguese Converted have been up to 6812 and 69.
Brazilian New have been marked 68%, Chilian 1011%,
Columbian 14%, and Mexican 361 to 36%. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 63%, and Danish Bonds 90.
There has been a little flatness ill some of the Railway
Shares, but the movement is not uniform, a few lines being
better.
