MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
With no particular activity in the market, we
continue to notice the same steadiness in the value of
the public securities. Consols were 95 to 95* for
Money, with the dividend, and 93* to 94 for Account,
and ex-dividend. Exchequer Bills were 475. to 495.
premium ; and India Bonds, 42s.premium. Bank Stock
was rather higher, being 1721 to 173/ ; Reduced
Three per Cents. were 941 to 948 ; and Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were worth 1008 to 101.
The Foreign Market left off with tolerable firm-
ness, in the absence of any further news. Spanish
Actives were 18*, and the Three par Cents. 231.
Mexican 304 to 308 ; Colombian 211 ; and Brazilian
691 to 70. The Portuguese Converted Stock was
worth 321, and the Three per Cents. 224. Danish
Bonds were firm at 831, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 528 to 53.

The Share Ma: ket continued good, though the quo-
tations at the close were barely so la as in the morn-
ing, being these :—Great 'Western were 241 ; London
and Birmingham, 99 ; Paris and Rouen, 58 ; York
and North Midland, 44/, and the New, IE4 premium.
Bristol and Exeter were 24 ; North Midland, 381 ; and
South Eastern Scrip, 21 discount. London Joint
Stock Bank Shares were 3 to 31 premium, and Na-
tional of Ireland l 1 discount.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The report of the Liverpool Cotton-market yester-
day, states business had been quiet, and that only
3,000 bales had found buyers, 200 of which were—
Surat at 30. to 4d. ; 100 Bahia at 61d. to 64d. ; 150
Maranham, at 51d. to 61d. ; and the rest Ameri-
can ai 4d. to 51d. per pound. In the Share
market there was a good demand for Grand Junc-
tion, Liverpool and Manchester, and Great Western,
at full rates, but no change in the others. Eastern
Counties, New, were 101 ; Grand Junction, 185 ;
Great Western, Fifths, 91 ; Birmingham, Thirds, 631;
Paris and Rouen 25+; and South Eastern, New, 181.
The advices from the United States by the sailing
packet North America, are to the 19th ult. The
market for State Stocks at New York did not
seem to be improving, as the discredit into which
they have so deservedly fallen in Europe was
much against their value in the eyes of the
native capitalists, who speculate largely upon
the chances of a profitable vie here or on the Conti-
nent. At Amsterdam, Louisiana Five per Cents.
(Hope's Loan), have fallen 8 per cent., as no interest
is expected to be paid next January, and never, per-
haps, was so sad a spectacle exhibited of a great na-
tion being sunk into utter degradation by the growing
popularity of repudiation doctrines.

'The acivices before us state that it is now pretty
generally conceded on all hands, that the present crop
of cotton will be the largest ever grown in the United
States, say 2,200,000 bales, and may range as high
as 2,500,000 bales. Financial affairs are now in such
a state, that no interposition is made by suspended
banks or visionary financiers to " sustain prices,"
or " hold for better prices." Neither does
the absurd notion of financiers appear to
operate, to the effect that Bank facilities are necessary
to send the crop forward; on the contrary, the re-
ceipts at the ports of the Atlantic have, up to this
time, been immensely greater than ever before, and
the requisition of specie in payment does not check its
export. It flows freely to the market.
The state of affairs in the British colonies offers no-
thing particular for comment, though Sir Charles
Bagot's return is not considered at all improbable
among parties in the City connected with Canada.
A communication from Texas states that one of
two things will happen there this winter—a formi-
dable invasion from Mexico—or an acknowledgment
of its independence.

The Funds are still rather flat, with a minor busi-
ness doing. The purchase for the Savings' Banks has
amounted to 5,0001. in the Reduced Three per Cent.
Annuities at 94f, though 941 was at first asked.
Consols have been done for Special Transfer at 95 to
95f, with the dividend, and for opening at 93i. The
premium on Exchequer Bills is dull at 47 to 48 ;
Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 100 i
to 101; Bank Stock has been more in request at 1721
to 173 f. Annuities for Thirty Years are at 121.
Being still without news from Barcelona, owing to
the interruption by fog of the telegraphic communi-
cation with Paris, the Spanish Bonds are heavy at
18 for the Five per Cents., and at 23 for the Three
per Cents. Portuguese Converted Stock is worth 32f.
The Mexican Active Stock is neglected at 30/.
People are afraid to touch it, and what. the Yankees
will say now to Mexican good faith we may easily
guess. Brazil Stock has been steady at 691 ; Danish
firm at 831; ,and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent.
Stock at 52f to 53.

The Shat; Market is very good. Great Western
Railway are 25i; ditto New, 14+ to ; Birmingham,
100 ; ditto Quarter, 25 ; ditto Thirds, 32 ; South
Western, 204; Northern and Eastern Scrip, 5 ; and

rican Bank are 7 discount.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 7.—There

Eastern, 224 and ; Ditto Scrip, 174 ; Manches-
ter and Leeds, 70k; Ditto Half, 301 ; Manchester and
Birmingham, 20; Sheffield and Manchester, 32 ;
Ashton and Oldham Canal, 76.
