The present accounts of the financial movements (id!
Ministry at Madrid have been a topic of earnest conv.el..
sation among moneyed men here. The addition of;
large amount to the Three per Cent. Stocks by the c
pitalisation of domestic debt, is a subject, however much
it may please the public creditors in Spain, quite to
the disadvantage of the foreign bondholders. The Prcux
mise held out by the Finance Minister, Set,
Mon, that the surplus revenues of Cuba,„ lii.
shall be' strictly kept sacred to pay the :
terest upon the Three per Cents., is worth Ilt'▪ 14
os
arnou,,, as it is most clearly shown that the total
that can be sent to Madrid from the sources stated, foul_
short by somewhere a million sterling of the money wi,
quired to pay the interest upon the whole Three t.
Cents. as now consolidated, and which, as far as .75
be ascertained, is from forty to forty-five railil▪
°0
sterling. These circumstances being cor sidered, lv.ho
somewhat extraordinary that by the operations in ':',l
Bolsa at Madrid, and on the Stock market here an
at Paris, the value of the Three per Cents. should hays
been advanced.
There are no arrivals from any quarter to-day. ..0

moderate supply only of young cattle have been ieutiose
for sale, and very few have changed hands, ancl„`. to
few at low prices ; yearlings, for example, from 2Thit
40s. a head, two-years old from 505..t0 90s. each ; bat
some few of prime quality and well reared exceeded t,
e
figure. Good steers and oxen, three and four years, jog
could not be sold, though offered at prices ruinously ery
to the breeders. Cattle fit for slaughtering continue %rt.
scarce, and in demand at from 40s. to 50s. Per coo
Horses have not lately improved in value ; nor !Aso..
demand for them. Owing to the yearling and
years old colts being sold off for the English fairsii-ose
markets, very few good nags are shown ; but ,'n ark
which are, are in demand at full prices. Bacon en„"d°the
pigs sell well, so do strong store. Young pigs g.- last
poorer kinds of stores sell at better prices than
