MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
C. 1117, QUARTER TO THREE.
A slight re-action has occurred in the English market, owing
to some large sales having been made by the Chancery broker.
Although the various stocks are reported " heavy," still the
alteration in prices is extremely small, which, taking the great
rise of yesterday into consideration, may be viewed as indicative
of firmness. Consols are marked 92/ to 93 for Money, and
93 to 93. for the Account ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.,
101 to 101 A ; Reduced Three-and-a- Half per Cents., 100 to
; Bank Stock, 1674 to 168; India Stock, 246 to 248; tae
Bonds; 20 to 22 ; Exchequer Bills, 38 to 40, premium.
In Foreign Securities the only business has been in Dutch,
the price of wheat is 53k 5314 for the Three, and 101 k for the
Five per Cent. Stock.
Scarcely any thing doing in Shares, and the only alteration
is in Brighton, which appear to be rapidly improving in value,
and in public estimation, the price now being 37k; South
Western, 63 63k; Northern and Eastern, 434; Birmingham
Quarter Shares, 37k ; Cheltenham and Great Western, 18k
k ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 54 55.
Although this is settling day in the bonds of the insolvent
States, there is only one 'quotation to each of the following,
which is CoLnabian, 26i; Portuguese Five per Cents., 38k ;
the Three per Cents.a23; Spanish Actives, 24k ; the Three
per Cents., 24k.
The unprecedented circumstance of the quantity of West India
Sugar on show in theCelonial Market, not exceedingso hhds., was
noticed yesterday. If the wind continued wive, se it may be ex-
pected that the weekly return of the stock on hand, will on
Tuesday exhibit but a few hogsheads, perhaps not more than
four hundred, should the deliveries have been equal to what
they were in the last week. It is satisfaCtory to be able to add
that this causes no alarm, neither have prices been affected in
consequence, the quantity of Mauritius and Bengal being suffi-
cient for the immediate wants of the trade. The consumption
of the latter desci iption has wonderfully increased since the
equalization of the duty, having been 270,000 cwt. in 1837, and
upwards of 1,000,000 in 1841-s-a strong argument in favour of
low rates improving the demand.
Private accounts from Jama'ca, and some other of the West
Indian colonies, state that the condition of the negroes is im-
proving, and that an increased willingness to work has been
manifested on those estates, where kindness was shown them
before, and after emancipation. It would appear from these,
that the gitomy forebodings of the cultivation of sugar iu the
co!onies ceasing, are in 'reality without foundation, and this
opinion is strengthened by a despatch lately received
from Sir C. Metcalfe on the subject. He writes
,f with respect to the labouring population, formerly slaves,
but now perfectly free and more independent than the
same plass in other free countries, 1 venture to say
that in no country in the world can the labouring population
be more abundantly provided with the necessaries of life, more
at their ease, or more secure from oppression than in Jamaica."
Papers one day later have been received from the Cape of
Good Hope, but which contain no colonial inteiligeree, being
filled with extracts from European Journals which Lad just
arrived,
