MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The steadiness in the English market was main-
tained up to the conclusion of business, with a mode-
rate number of transfers. There seems nothing just

now to derange the market, as wheat speculations
have some time died away, and may be considered as
effectually closed for yet a long period, by the rise in
the duty to-day to 20s. per quarter. Consols for
Money closed at 9-4, and for Account at 941. Ex-
chequer Bills realised 595. premium, being rather
dull ; and East India Bonds were worth 51s. to 525.
premium. Bank Stock remained firm at 172 to 173 ;
and India Stock advanced to 259. New Three-and-
a-Half per Cents. were 1018 to 1018 ; Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents, 1001 to 1011 ; and
Three per Cent. Annuities, 93+ to 938. Long An-

nuities were at 121.
Very little was doing in any of the Foreign Stocks,
and the market closed flat. Spanish Fives were 18 to
178, and the Three per Cents. 21*. Mexican Stock
also receded, not being higher than 32* to 33 for
money. Columbian were dull at 21*, but Buenos
.Ayres . improved to 211. Brazil Stock was worth
634, being the previous value.
Shares were marked the turn lower, the bargains,
in addition to those noticed this morning, being—

Glasgow, 3-; Brighton, 14k; and North Midland, 37
discount. Birmingham Quarter were 228 ; i',;orthern

Rather more cheering advices have been received
from the manufacturing districts, and at Liverpool
a very extensive business has -.been done in cotton.
The trade are described as having bought eagerly,
though, as the demand was freely met, no alteration
in prices occurred. The sales were 8,000 bales, 'of
which 1,000 bales American were taken on specula-
tion. The quotations were for 1,500 bales Surat,
34d. to 41d.; 200 Egyptian, op.; and 6,300 hales
American, 3d. to 6d. per lb.—ln the Railway
Shares there was no change. Eastern Counties New are
104; Grand Junction, 173; Great Western Half,
611 ; London and Birmingham, 1814; Ditto Quarter,

South Eastern N;ew, or scrip, 174.
The effect of the new tariff, as regards provisions,
has evidently been felt in a very small degree, to
what :nay be anticipated hereafter. In confirmation
of this, we may allude to the almost incredible state-
ment made in recent advices from Buenos Ayres—
viz., that an Englishman resident there in-
tended to slaughter 4,000 oxen, and 20,000 sheep, in
October, for the purpose of salting the meat and ship-
ping it to Liverpool. The statement, we say. appears
rather incredible, but possibly it may turn out to ly,;
correct. in the Argentine provinces, as we are in-
formed by parties in the City, who have resided in,
and continue to trade with South America, the
herds of cattle are of great magnitude, and the vast
range of country open to pasturage, causes so un-
usually rapid an increase in their numbers, that it
is worth while for the proprietors to kill their beasts,
solely for the hides and tallow, the flesh fur want of a
sufficient population being comparatively valueless.
If the curing is so improved as to suit the English,
we may expect, therefore, to have South American
meats at about 2d. per lb.
The speech of the King of the Belgians, upon the
occasion pf the opening of the Chambers is considered
satisfactory, and shows the efforts of the Govern-
ment to extend the trade of its subjects ; though there
is one point we look upon as rather threatening to
foreign commerce ; viz., the declaration that the im-
port duties upon many articles may he increased
with advantage to the country, while those upon ex-
ports can be reduced.
The Consol Market has been very steady this morn-
ing at 944 both for Money and the Account. The
Commissioners for the Savings' Banks have through
their brokers made another small investment to-day.
The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have
inclined to 1001, and the New Stock to 1011. Bank
Stock has only fluctuated from 172 to 173 to-day,
the former being now the nearest value. Exchequer
Bills are a trifle cheaper than they were yesterday,
viz., at 595. premium. India Stock for the Account
has beEn bought at 258.
We cannot quote any movement of importance in
the Foreign Stock Market to-day. A reaction in
Mexican Stock has taken place to 321, though the
market may now be quoted a shade firmer. Buenos
Ayres Stock has fallen to 214, and Brazilian is at
634. The transactions in all the bonds are trifling.
Spanish Three per Cents. have just been sold at 214,
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 524, and the
Five per Cents. at 1001.
Railway Shares are not brisk. Eastern Counties
Debentures may be had at 14 premium ; the Great
Western at 19f premium ; the Fifths do. at 4 pre-
mium; the London and Brighton at 141 discount;
the Loan Notes at premium ; the South-Western at
184 premium ; the South-Eastern and Dover at 27.4
discount ; and Scrip (issued at 25 discount) at 24
discount ; Union Bank of Australia, New Shares, are
at 2i premium.
There were not many public sales of Colonial or
other produce to-day. By private contract, however,
we hear there is a better trade doing. The Timber
trade is very active. Another large public sale is an-
nounced, comprising Canadian and foreign qualities.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, NOY. 9.—Our
market is still depressed, and not much doing, the
business being almost confined to local Stock. The
sales are—Manchester and Birmingham, 19it ; Man-
chester and Leeds, 68, Ditto Quarters, 41; South-
Eastern Scrip, 174.
