MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. MONDAY LVENINO.

This has been one of the dullest days of business which has
been experienced in the Ctty for some time. Prices of the
Funds have slightly receded, but from no other reason than the
great indisposition to enter into bargains, and Consols left off
at 914 buyers for the opening and for the Account. Reduced,
913 913 ; Bank Stock, 167 16S ; Exchequer Bills, 48 50 prem.
In Foreign Securities, Belgian were 102 103; Dutch Two
and a Half per Cents. 524 53; the Five per Cents., 101 1014 ;
Danish, 804 bl 4 ; and Brazilian, 664, 674 ; Mexican was
quoted 364 364
London and Birmingham Railway Shares were 177 179 ;
Birmingham and Gloucester. 50 52 ; Great Western, 69 70 ;
the Half Shares, 624 623 ; South Western, 62 63; North
Midland, 65 67 ; the New Shares, 32 33 ; South Eastern and
Dover, 253- 26i ; the Scrip, 6 64 ; Eastern Counties, 994 ;
Rackwall, 101 ii; and Brighton, 35A 35g.
The quotations f,r the Bonds were—Colombian, 264 264 ;
Peruvian, 14 194 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 37% 38 ; the
Three per Cents., 22 22%; Spanish Active, 224 221;
the Three per Cents, 234 234.

It will be perceived that the quotation for Spanish is about
11 per bond lower than on Saturday, and the circumstance
affords proof, i: any were wanting, of the real nature of the
dealings in them. The intelligprice from Spain is entirely of
a neutral character, and )et, although it is stated that the
Provisional Government will provide the money for paying the
ni xt dividend, the nominal value of the Securities is de-
pressed. It must again be repeated that these fluctuations are
solely occasioned by jobbing, and the only caution to be exer-
cised regarding them is to avoid them altogether.
It may appear almost a worn-out subject to return to the
question of the late proclansation ; but instances having oc-
curred to-day, of light sovereigns being paid out from the
Bank of England, and the serious loss which occurred to many
of the working dales from the rapacity of those with whom
they were dealing, render it necessary to impress the neces-
sity of Government estop ing some method to relieve the dis-
tress and inconvenience, as well as to retreat the need of great
vigilance in individual dealings.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
. .

The whole of the Markets to-day are exceedingly flat, with
scarcely anything done. The prices of the English Funds
have been firmly maintained, Consols remaining at 913/4 for the
opening ex. div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91i 91 ; Three.
and-a-Half per Cents., 104 ; Reduced '1 hree-and-a- Half pi r
Cents., 1001 1001 ; Bank Stock, 166 ; India Bonds, 22 ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 48 50 ;mem.
No transactions in Foreign Securities ; prices however, are
nominally as on Saturday. Mexican is quoted 36k.
In Shares, Great Western have been sold at 89} ; Brighton,
35i 35i ; the Loan Notes, it prem. ; South Western, 62i ;
South Eastern, Scrip, 6i.
The Bonds quoted to-day are Columbian, 26k; Spanish
Five per Cents., ; and the Three per Cents., 231—a1l be-
low the opening rates thi, morning.
Letters received this morning from the manufacturing dis-
tricts give a very gloomy account of the state of trade.
Great expectations had been formed that the last Overland Mail
would have brought some extensive orders, and operations
had been entered into in anticipation of such an event.
The contrary, however, was unfortunately the case,
and there-action has been more than proportionate to the
rise ; prices have declined below what they were some weeks
since. It is to be hoped that the heavy stocks lately on hand
in most of the foreign parts will shortly be re-
duced to a point which will allow of a renewed
demand, since it is said that if not, increased
and very serious distress may arise. 'the orders from America
during the present year have been far below an average ; this,
however, may be attributed to the deranged state of' their
finances, and not to permanent cessation of demand, so that it
is considered that at the tall of the present, or the commencement
of the ensuing year, some relief may be expected from that
quarter.

The interesting drama of Tht, Miller's Maid,
founded on Bloomfield's well-known poetical tales i called, was
announced for last night and during the week, at Miss Kelly's
Theatre in Dean-street, Sobo. The deep .athos of Miss
Kelly's performance of Phoebe, the heroine of this little drama,
cannot fail, we should imagine ;to attract crowded audiences
to her very pretty theatre.
At Union-hall yerterday several young men and boys
were held to bail kr bathing in the Surrey Canal on the pre-
ceding day. The complaint was made by a inumber of the in-
habitants residing In the immediate vicinity of the canal, whose
families could nut approach the windows, owing to the dis-
graceful exhibitions which were of constant occurrence!
