:%lONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEW.S

CITY, QUARTER 7'o 77.IREE.

This is the settling-day in the English Funds, but
the total absence of speculative business, and the
small amount of fluctuation since the last account has
caused it to be of not the slightest moment. The con-
tinuation is not more thin 3-16 per Cent. Consols for
Money, being 93i. for Money, and 934 938 for the Ac-
count ;Three perCents.Reduced,92l; Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. Reduced, 100 ex div. • New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents., 101* ; India Stock, 250* 251* ;
Eichequer Bills are again higher, being 55 57 prem.
Rather more business has been done in Foreign
Securities; Belgian, Ip3i- ; Dutch Two-and-a Half
per Cents. 52-a, and the Five per Cents. 102*; but
the market has rather given way.
The quotation for Mexican bonds has also de-
clined about * per cent., a bargain having been made
in them at 32*.
The Share market has been quite without transac-
tions, but holders evince a disposition to demand
higher prices; the chief sales have been in London
and Birmingham at 185, the Quarter Shares, 474 ;
Brighton, 36, and the Loan Notes, 10.1 ; Edinburgh
and Glasgow, 46.
The only bargain in the Bonds has been one in
Portuguese Five per Cents. at 37.
The large sales of tea which commenced this morn-
ing, have exhibited greater animation than could have
been expected. From the bidding, it would appear
that the trade are rather short ofstock, and consequently
obliged to yield to the demands of the importers,
who, from the present condition of commerce in
China, are compelled to demand higher rates ; the
scarcity of coin reduces it to a state of barter, the
Chinese refusing to take our goods unless at a great
depreciation, while they exact enormous prices for
their produce, thus deriving a double advantage from us.
