MONEY AND ComMEHCIAL NEWS

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING,

After having apparently recovered from the reaction
of yesterday, Consols have again been reduced, below
even the previous reduced range, having closed at 99 to
99k. The other investments were much the same.
The new portion of the Canada Loan has been taken
by Messrs. Hammond and Co., at 112/. 12s. 6d., and sup-
posed to be for the East India Company. There is four
per cent. guaranteed for twenty years, hence the high
price given.
A fall occurred in Spanish Bonds just before the close
of business, the Actives being 24} 1, and the Three per
Cents. 35* to 34j Mexican were 351 to f, being a
shade better.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Birmingham and Derby Eighths were
21 ; Glasgow and Dumfries, * tot; Birmingham, 131 f ;
Croydon, 5f ; Midland Counties Quarter, 7*; North
Midland Half, 51 ; Ditto Thirds, 81 ; Norwich and

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
A good business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday,
the sales amounting to 6,000 bales, of which 800 were on spe-
culation, and 400 for export. Prices were steady—sales, 200
Pernam at 6d. to 7d., 250 Maranham at 51d. to 51d., 400
Surat at 31d. to 4d., and the rest American at 4*(l. to 51d.

and Cashel, 41 ; Eastern Counties, 13* ; Paris and Lyons,

There are no arrivals in the City to-day, except the usual
continental mails.
From Leipeic we learn that at the fair there had been a
very extensive business done in cloth fabrics, especially
Prussian and *axon.
The further portion of the Canada loan is taken to-day,
but the arrangements being conducted at the Treasury, the
result will not reach the City in time to be noticed under this
hea l in the early edition of The Sin.
The Funds have rall.ed a little this morning, and there are
fewer sales passing on the market. Consols have realised

rather lower, Exchequer Bills have been 745. to 765., and

Three per Cents. have not improved, being 351 a. Mexican
Bonds are 35% to 1; Portuguese Converted have been 45%.
Belgian Bonds are quoted 102* without the dividend. Dutch
