MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Almost the only thing to do in this department
to-night, is to quote the nominal prices of the Funds, in-
asmuch as business has been literally at a stand-still.
Hardly a bargain in any security has been made during
the day, and although no one will sell except at an ad-
vance upon the quotations, yet no disposition was shown
to purchase, though the general feeling appears to be
that a rise will take place.
Consols left off at 901 904 for Money, and 901 908
for the Account ; Bank Stock, 1651 1664- ; India Stock,
248 249 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 46 48 ; New, 44 46
premium.
The
_prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian,
1011 1021 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51 51i ;
the Five per Cents., 101 1011 ; Danish, 81 82 ; Brazi-
lian, 63 65.
The quotation of Mexican was 361-361. No material
variation occurred in the rates to-day, although the
official lists, by misprint, stated it to be marked at 354,
instead of 364.
In Shares but littla was done. London and Bir-
mingham were 177 179 ; Birmingham and Gloucester,
47 49 ; Great Western, 86 87 ; the Half Shares, 611 621;
South Western, 614 621 ; North Midland, 59 61 ; New,
29 30 ; Eastern Counties, 84 91 ; South Eastern and
Dover, 224 931- ; Northern and Eastern, 401 411 ; Black-
wall, 9 91 ; and Brighton, 34 344 per Share.
The quotations for the Bonds were—Colombian 21
214- ; Peruvian 16 17 ; Portuguese Five per Cents, 331
33; ; the Three per Cents. 19A- 20 ; Spanish Five per
Cents..2oi 21 ; the Three per Cents. 20;1 20i.
‘were no foreign arrivals, although the West
India Packet ha; been Jor some days expected.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)

The whole of the markets have been heavy this morning,
with scarcely any business going on. Consols are 90* for
Money, and 90-11 for the Account. Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 91 911; Three-and-a-Half per Cent,. 1003; New
Ihree-and-a-Ealf per Cents., 99k; Bank Stock, 166 167 ;
India Stock, 248 249; Exchequer Bills, Old, 45 47; New,
43 45 premium.
The only transactions in Foreign Securities have been a
purchase in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 511, and
one in the Eve per Cents. at 10la.
The quotation of Mexican has receded to 35.
The Share Market has been flat—Great Western, New,
611 62; South Western, 401; South Eastern, 231; Brighton,
341/4 ; Northern and Eastern, 401 ; York and North Mid-
The only bargains in the Bonds have been Portuguese Three
per Cents. at the quotation of 191-, and Spanish Three per
Cents., 20k, both for time.
The accounts to-day from the country, and especially York-
shire, ars very discouraging. It had been supposed by many
the published intelligence had been somewhat exaggerated,
but the arrival of some eminent men of business from
thence upon their own affairs have to a great extent
dispelled the delusion from the minds of mercantile men with
whom they have conversed. The conference, which is to take
place to-day, and to which almost all the merchants, bankers,
&c., have been specially invited, attracts much attention.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 19. The sales to-day
are fully 4,000 bales, including 300 Ameiican for export. The
market is steady, without any change in pries.

321. Shares, 60.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 19.—Our market
has been very fair to-day, with a good inquiry for Railways,
but owing to the continued scarcity of stock only a limited
business has been transacted. Higher prices would in most
cases have been given. Our quotations are—Liverpool and
Manchester, Half Shares, 84; Lancaster and Preston, 30;
Ditto. Three-quarter Shares, 20 21 ; Manchester and Leeds,
75 75%; South Western, 611,4 62; Manchester Assurance,
