MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITE, MONDAY EVENING.
The public securities were rather flat to-day, in the absence
of mu-:h speculative business, arid there was a disposition to
sell Stock. Consols for immediate transfer were 89 to 891/4,
and for Account, 89* alternately buyers and sellers. 'I he
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 9814 to 98: ,
the Reduced, 99 to 99/, and the Three per Cent. Annuities
894 to 89%. The Unfunded Debt is now at a higher pre-
mium than for the List year or more, bring 245. to 265., and
this arises as well from a conviction that the surreptitious Bills
will be paid, as from the comparative dullness of trade, and the
want of a temporary, but at.the same time a secure investment,
for idle capital. The East India Bonds were also rather better,
viz. ss. to 7s. premium, and India Stock touched 244 and
245. In Bank Stock there were no buyers.
The account in the Foreign Market was adjusted without
any material difficulty to-day, Active Spanish Bonds were
rather better. The current rates were 244 to 25. The
accounts from Lisbon to-day. notieing the rapid progress of the
revolutionary movement in the different provinces, sent down
Portuguese Stock again, viz., to 32* and 32 for the New Five
per Cents. The Three per Cents. were at 19 to 19*. •Mexi-
can Bonds rose again, the current rates being 34 to 34/. Co -
lombian Stock was at 22 to 22/ Chilian at 70*, and Bra-
zilian at 65 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 514, and
the Five per CeLts. 101*.
In the Share Market there was no particular alteration.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.

The Gurney affair continues to agitate the sporting circle,
and, as was proved yesterday, not at all to the improvement
of the Derby betting. Thii subjoined list of prices will be
found to include very few horses, and not a " select few," as
neither of the favourites yeas touched up. Between them and
the third favourite there is an in:mr•nse gap; indeed, it may
be questioned whether the odds ought not to be quoted at 3()
to I, bar two, for although nominally at 25 to 1, we do not
think that anybody would back Auckland under 30 to 1. The
rime colt was supported at 40 tb 1, by two or three parties, the
layers declining to go on at the same figure, although re-
peatedly entreated. The Meteor, the Joanna colt, Lasso, and
one or two others, were also backed, but without showing any
improvement. For the Oaks the only bets laid were 16 to 1,
and afterwards 12 to 1, in fifties, against the Adela filly. Some
other mares wero inquired after, but these are very few books
on the race, and those who are laying on it appear to be full
against everything exeept Passion. The Chester Cup betting
was in such small sums as scarcely to deserve the quotations we
have submitted.
