MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The general tone of the Money Market does not appear to be
improved, neither has the feeling of uneasiness which
has pervaded it during the last few days subsided.
Some apprehension Lis felt that the circumstances
which have obliged the Spanish Ministry to resign.
may have a serious effect on its political relations
with other countries. Meanwhile business is going on, in the
most limited scale, and prices remain nearly as on Saturday,
although the Bank hroker has purchased about 100,0001. Re-
duced. Consols arc 91A 91* for the opening ex-dividend;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 90i," ; Three-and-Half per
Cents. Reduced, 99,7, 100 b ; India Bonus, `24; Exchequer Bills,
Old, 45 47 ; and Advertised, 38 prem.
Prices of Foreign Securities are—Belgian, 102 103 ; Dutch
Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 521 52i1 ; the Five per Cents.,
101 1011 ; Brazilian, 67 68.
The quotation for Mexican is 354 36*.
The Share Market is flat, and purchases have been confined
to Brighton, 35i 36*; Loan notes, 51 N"; Eastern Counties
New, 6/. 14s. 2d ; South Western, 624 ; Greenwich, 6*. .
The Bonds are quoted, Colombian, 254 26* ; Peruvian, 18

It will be seen that speculators for a fall in Spanish have
partially succeeded in their object ; and the folly of dealing in
these and other similar documents will thus be clearly per-
ceived. Opportunities have been frequently taken in this
paper of pointing out the real nature of the transactions usually
going forward in them, and, although the most solemn assur-
ances have been given that the dividend promised in July was
actually provided for, yet a fall of nearly four per cent.
has taken place, consequent upon a change of
Ministry. If the assertion were true, this event could not
affect the prospect of the holders; if not, the quotation now is
far above what it should be, and the correctness of the news
which have from time to time been put forth is proved.
The mercantile accounts by private letters from India are
generally more discouraging than those 'by the last mail would
have led us to expect; and both at Bombay and Calcutta
European piece goods are now in less demand, with lower
prices. The heavy stocks are doubtless a principal cause of
this stagnation, but the state of the Money Market, consequent
upon the expellees of the war in the North, has greatly added
to commercial embarrassments. From Calcutta it is stated
that business was nearly at a stand, and that public confidence
was greatly shaken ; while at Bombay the exchange on London
had fallen to 2s. lid. per rupee for six months' bills, and
2a. 04d. for those at three months ; and Gold had declined to
10, 5 per pound sterling.
The intelligence from China is not more encouraging; trade
being carried on solely by barter, and the Chinese having al-
ready abundant supplies of imports on hand, do not appear de-
sirous to part with their commodities, which they know we
must. have, except upon terms very advantageous to themselves.
The step of proclaiming Hong- Kong, Unman, and Amoy
free ports, is; looked upon as extremely judicious, and is
expected, in the course of a short interval, to place
our trade with China upon a substantial basis. The intelli-
gence received from China for several months past has always
represented the natives as far more disposed to place
themselves under the protection of the English au-
thorities than to remain under their own Govern-
ment, and this view appears to be fully confirmed
by letters received by the present mail. If such be really the
fact, it may be expected that a regular supply of tea, and other
produee, will then be obtained. The total quantity of tea
shipped to England and Ireland, between the commencement of
July, last year, and the 20th of February, in the present year,
is given at 26,405,788 lbs.
The official returns, made up to the 31st of May, state the de-
liveries of tea, for the tirst five months of the present year,
to hare been 14,357,000 lbs., and for the like period of 1841, at
14,628,000 lbs. ; the stock at present at 33,175,000 lbs., and in
1841 at 28,820,000 lbs.
