MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotten at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bags,
of which 2,000 were taken on speculation. There was rather
less animation, but the market closed firmly. Shares were
rather quiet and lower.
There are no arrivals to-day with late news of any in-
terest.

The attention of the Continental States has been attracted
to the treaty of commerce said to have been quietly concluded
between England and Siam. Letters from Batavia received in
Holland state that the population of Siam is at least three
millions, and that the English have secured great and ex-
clusive privileges by the treaty, with the right of import-
ing into Siam a number of articles which the Dutch
and Americans, the greatest traders in those parts,
next to ourselves, have not been permitted to intro-
duce. It appears that to our resident agent at Bangkoch in
Siam is mainly due the obtainment of the advantageous
treaty in question ; and that the manufactures, for
which there is the greatest opening, are those
of cotton, silk, and glass •, fire- arms, perfumery, and
trinkets being also very saleable. We should not be at all
surprised to find the commerce of Siam becoming second to
that with China, provided suitable exports can be found
there in sufficient quantity to make returns for our goods,
since no trade can be carried on with a drain of bullion.

The appearance of the Stock Market is at present heavy,
and the main cause probably is the anxiety of parties to take
the current rates rather than await the chapter of acci-
dents between this and the re-opening of the transfer-
books. Consols have been marked 983/ to % for present
delivery, and 98% to % for Account, being Vs per cent.
lower than yesterday. The premium on Exchequer-bills
has continued at 455. to 475. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been done for Money at 10l to
102, a further decline. East India Stock is 271 to 272.
Foreign Stocks are affected by the tone of our own Secu-
rities. Spanish Three per Cents. bring 381,:2, and the Passive
7. Mexican are worth 327 to 331/1. Peruvian are worth
38 to 39. Grenada Deferred are firm at 5%. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been 62 to 62%.
Railway Shares are dealt in to some extent, but in the
majority of cases they may be bought on lower terms, both
as regards the old and new.
