MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY; QUARTER TO THREE.
Thera was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa-
turday. Sales about 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Holders,
however, appeared to be rather firmer.
There are no late arrivals to-day from any quarter, and
the markets for all articles, save those usually in request
about Christmas time, have been very quiet, and are likely
so to continue till the new year.

Viii Holland, there are accounts of Aug. 30 from Batavia.
The only news contained in thorn refers to a great conflagra-
tion near Kedirie, by which 228 dwellings were destroyed.
These, however, were no doubt very unsubstantial structures.
Without much inclination to do business, prices in the
English Stock• market are to-day rather firmer, Consols being
94% % for present transfer, and 94% to 95 for time. There
is no speculation going, and even the transfers making are
chiefly in anticipation •f the closing of the books at the Bank
of England preparatory to the payment of the dividends.
The premium on Exchequer-bills is rising, whether in anti-
cipation of an increased rate of interest being allowed
we are unable to say, though the belief is that the
Bank broker has been buying. The values paid this
morning have been 20s. to 28s. Bank Stock has been
quiet at 200 to 2011,6. In India Stock there have been no
bargains. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 95% to ; the Three per Cents., 98% to 3.
The Foreign Stock-market is decidedly flat this morning.
Spanish Five per Cents. are down to 27%, and the Three
per Cents. to 371/4. Russian Stock has been firm at 113.
Belgian Four-and a-Half per Cents. were 95%; and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 591:2.
For railway shares, although the inquiry has not yet be-
come animated, we may certainly notice a firmer market, and
there can be no doubt •of the fact that moneyed
men are quietly picking up the low-priced scrips, and by
which they will make money. The expected Presi-
dent's Message alone checks a permanent advance.
