I MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
In addition to the purchases usually made for
investing the dividends now payable, the market
to-day has received-an accession of firmness, in con-
sequence of its having become necessary to place an
accumulation of unclaimed dividends, arising from
the East India Corripany's stock, out at interest. The
amount thus to be purchased is about 40,0001., of
which Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced to the
extent of 10,000/, was bought to-day, and it is un-
derstood that the purchases will be continued de die
in diem, until the" whole shall have been included.
Consols left off at 931 93+ for Money, and 93+ 93+ for
the Account ; Bank Stock, 161 166 ; India Stock,
250 252 ; Exchequer Bills 55 57 premium.
In FOreign Securities the extent of business was
merely sufficient to allow actual prices to be noted.
Belgian were 103 104 ;- Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 52+ 524;., the Five per Cents. 100 100+;
Danish, 82 83; and Brazilian, 63 64.
Some of the speculators in Mexican Bonds
have taken advantage of the idea which has
become prevalent, though erroneously, that the
surplus of the money in the hands of the
agents, after the payment of the dividends,
should be applied to the liquidations of the debentures,
in order to depress quotations. It. was undoubtedly
understood that such should be the case, but it was
also as clearly ascertained that it was necessary, in
order to give effect to such arrangement, that the con-
sent of the executive should be obtained. No oppor-
tunity to effect this has yet occurred, in consequence
of the prorogation of the Cortes, but it is to be ex-
pected that, immediately after re-assembling, the
necessary powers will be forwarded to this country,
and the agreement will be carried into effect.
Meanwhile, each opportunity appears to be taken to
keep up the national faith, by remitting the allot-
ment of the receipts of the Customs ; and, at the
present time, a large sum is in the possession of the
agents, to be applied either to the dividends, or to
cancelling the debentures, as may be ordered. Should
the conditions remain unfulfilled after a certain pe-
riod, it was understood that the original bondholders
were to re-assume their coupons, though these had
been turned into debentures. The quotations for the
Bonds, at the close of business, was 321 32+.
A further improvement in Brighton Shares was
the only feature in the Share Market; these left off at
36 361. London dad Birmingham were 182 184;
Birmingham and Gloucester, 40 41; Great "Western,
92 93 ; the Half7Shares, 50 50+; south Western,
57 58 ; North Midland, 57+ 58- ; the New shares,
28 29 ; South Eastern, 22+ 23 1 ; Eastern Counties,
-81 84; Northern 4rid Eastern, 35. 361; Blackwall,
6 6+ • and Brighton, .36 36+ per share.
The rates of exchange were again more in favour
of this country, especially on Hamburgh and Paris,
the quotation for the latter being 25 85, 25 92+, and
the former 13 12, 13 121. The quotation on Amster-
dam was 13 6+, 13161 ; Rotterdam, 12 61; Antwerp,
12 4+, 12 44 ; Frankfort, 151+ 1511; Genoa, 26
26 5 ; Marseilles, 25.95, 25 971; Vienna, 9 57, 9 58;
Madrid, 361 36+ ;'.and Lisbon, 52+ 521.
The settling of the half-monthly account in the
Bonds caused no change in the quotations, neither
were any bargains "entered into.. Colombian were
20+ 201 ; Peruvian, 151 161; Portuguese Five per
Cents., 361 371 ; the Three per Cents., 211 221;
Spanish Five per Cents., 16 16+; the Three per
Cents., 201 21.

The Indigo sale has today exhibited a greater im-
provement, the quantity sold exceeding one-third of
that put up; the home trade were again the larger
buyers.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The English funds have exhibited more buoyancy
than they have dono.for some time past, and a greater
disposition for business has been evinced by • the
jobbers. Consols. 'have advanced to 931 93-a for
Money, ani 931 93a. for the Account, with
an appearance of, great firmness. Three per
Cents. Reduced, .9721 92a; Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. Reduced, 1001 1001 ex div. ; India Stock,
2501 2511 ; Indialßonds, 47; and Exchequer Bills,
Old, 57, New, 55 57 prem.
Foreign Securities have been wholly neglected and
without business ; prices, however, are to be quoted
nominally as yesterday.
The quotation for Mexican bonds has slightly
improved, but the fact of to-day being the half-
monthly settlement' has precluded any extensive trans-
action. The Tay has brought over 18,000 dollars
on account of . the -dividends, which will make about
25,0001. sterling now in the hands of the agents, to
be applied to this purpose. They have been sold at
33 for Money, but are now quoted 32k and 33 for the
Account.

But little has been done in -the Share Market,
prices :in which are rather better. Great Western,
New, 604 ; South 'Western, 574 ; South Eastern,
22i; the Scrip, 111; Eastern Counties, 10i; and
Brighton, 361.
The only Bonds noticed in the lists to-day are
Spanish Three per Cents., 208. •
Neither the mercantile letters by the Great
Western or the Tay add any new fact to these pre-
viously received, which is to be accounted for by the
short interval which has elapsed, between the sail-
ing of those and the former 'vessels. Trade in
America is stated'; to be quite- as unsettled now
as it was before passing the tariff, inasmuch as it
h almost certain that one of the first proceedings
of Congress will be .to modify the present Bill.
The late favourable intelligence from the West In-
dies is fully confirmed by these letters. .

The reception of that accomplished artiste,
Mademoiselle Celeste, .in America, has been most en-
thusiastic. Fully equal, if not surpassing, the greatest
of Ellsler's triumphs. ..The dress circle was entirely
occupied by ladies, a purely American compliment to
evince their admiration for public talent and private
worth. The waving of hats and handkerchiefs lasted
for upwards of three minutes, and her performance of
Marie Ducange, elicited bursts of genuine applause
from a house crowded,to the ceiling. Hamblin offered
her 15,000 dollars for her ten weeks' engagement,
but she declined, preferring half of each night's re-
ceipts, and a clear beneAt.—American Correspondent.

The betting in the town after the races was in"—„),l9o
rupted by a long discussion as to whether Scott's Derm

who ~

; r ..!-
discussion arose out of an offer to back one of 1%,
Yarburgh's two (Dumpling and Mahomet), one of which
only (Dumpling) was included in the list of the lot pub,
lished after Doncaster races ; it appears that neither ot
them has yet arrived at Scott's stables, and thoset
who have laid against the lot insist not only th%
they cannot be considered as belonging to it, bur
that any of Lord Chesterfield's, Colonel Ansons, ;
Mr. Bowes's horses, that are not yet in trainin^-, rautssid
be excluded. The opposite party argue that the lot I,_r
against comprehends horses belonging to Scott's regn
masters, saving only such as may have been purchase.o
or sold by them since the list was published. Who
