MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY,
ITY,FRIDAY EVENING.
The market this afternoon completely recovered its
buoyancy, the purchases by parties, who took advantage
of the reduced rates, in conjunction with the demand for
s'o:k on behalf of the Bears, who seem to have been on
the losing side this account ; and, finally, the cessation of
sales by the Government broker, having conduced to
this change. During the account, Consols have fluc-
tuated under lk per cent.. Consols for present transfer
were to-day 884 to 891, and for the February account
891 to 89k. Exchequer Bills were 14s. to 16s. premium,
and India Bonds 9s. to l ls. premium. Bank Stock .was
worth 167 to 1661, and New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
realised an improvement to 99 and 99k.
The feature in the Foreign Market was an advance
in Mexican. Stock, and a decline in Spanish. The reve-
nue accounts of Surra y Rull appear, on the whole, not
worse than might have been expected. Active Spanish
Bonds were at 24i during the day, but rallied subse-
quently to 251. They closed at the former price. Por-
tuguese New Fire per Cents. were at 32k to 1, Mexican
Stock at 291 to 291, and Columbian at 214 and 211.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 511.
The Share Market was very heavy, although the sales
were not large. Brighton
.gave way to 13 discount,
Great Western to 201 premium, and South Western to
19k remium. Loalon Joint Stock Bank Shares were
at 2 premium.
f T e improvement noticed last Tuesday in the Foreign
Exchangeswas not, supported this afternoon, as the sub-
joined rates will show:—Antwerp, 12 41; Paris, 25f.
75c. to 80c.; Hamburgh, 13 10 to 13 101 ; Amsterdam,
12 44 ; Frankfort, 150 to 1 ; and Trieste, 9 51 to 53.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Stock effected by the Government broker
up to the present time have been to the extent of
900,0001., and it is generally expected that he has more
to dispose of ; nevertheless the market keeps firm.
Consols opened at 88/ 89 for Money, and 89' 1 for the
February Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced are
891 1 ; Three-and-a-Half Ditto, 99k ; Bank Stock,
166 k 1671.'

Cape of Good Hope papers to the 14th of November
have been received, but they do not contain any news of
the least interest.
Up to the present time no letters or papers from Liver-
pool have been delivered.

Market has passed over vvithout difficulty.

can, 291 ; Spanish, 24/ 25 25k. .
There are in the advices from the Cape of Good Hope
some serious subjects for reflection. The British colo-
nists complain that the settlement at Natal has
too long been suffered to remain in its pre-
sent anomalous position, and that energetic measures
are absolutely necessary, in order to bring emigrants to
a proper understanding with her Majesty's Colonial au-
thorities, and to prevent their encroachments on the
Caffres, who might resent it on the British borderers.
The very limited extent of our commerce with various
foreign parts, where under .a .'more liberal system of
commercial policy, we might, perhaps have, an
excellent opening for our trade, is shown
in the returns before us of the shipping movements
at the port of Bayonne during the past year. The num-
ber of vessels entered with cargo there was 308 of,jA -i ,
tons, and in ballast 217 of 8,400 tons. Ofthis large
a single vessel only bore the English flag, whil4,
were French, a good number Spanish, &c. Thegm j
sailed were 512 of 2,867 tons, of which 016 werfiAmi ,
and one of 140 tons English. a .
