MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Market for the English Funds was steady up
to the close, but not quite so buoyant. There was
some demand for money, and as much as 5 per cent.
was paid in particular instances for temporary loans.
Consols for present transfer realised 94 to 941, and for
Time 944 to 4. Exchequer Bills were 59 to 61 pre-
mium ; the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stocks rather
improved, the New being at 1011 to 1014 ; the• R-
educed 1004 to 1003 ; Bank Stock was steady at 172
'
to 1721; and India Stock advanced to 2591. - '
The bona fate and interest paying Foreign Bonds
were supported this afternoon at steady prices, but
the other and more speculative bonds closed a shade
against the sellers. Spanish Actives were 173 and t,
and the Three per Cents. were depressed at 211-
Portuguese New Fives were not higher than 384;
the Converted receded to 323, and the Old Fives
were dull at 58. Mexican Stock ranged only
33 to 32:1-; Colombian were heavy at • 21; *Buenos
Ayres realised 213; and Peruvian 173; Brazilian were fir e
a shade better, being at 64 ; Belgian Bonds were m
at 102 to 1021; Austrian at 1111; and Dutch Fiv
per Cents. at 1004 to 100 k.

There were not many bargains in Shares sub.se- ,
quent to our morning report, and those concluded •'.
were at prices a trifle lower, being these :—Birmingliran

We cannot notice any improvement in the rates a
which bills are negotiated upon the prigeipal conti-
nental cities. On the contrary, they were even a =
shade lower this afternoon, being 12 54 on' Amster-
dam ; 12 44 on Antwerp; 13 114 on Hamburgh 1-.

The accounts received from the Liverpool Cotton - -
Market are this morning again favourable, a brisk -.:' '':,
demand having existed again yesterday, and the sales .
having been as high as 6,000 bales. The trade took
the whole of this, and at an average advance nearly;,, ,i;
of 3d. per lb.—The Railway. Shares were dull, and ,t ,

The colonisation scheme in Belgium continues
to
excite much attention and controversy, four out of the
six Commissioners sent to inquire into the capabilities
of Central America having made a favourable report
while two have given in statements rather against the
project, though acknowledging the eligibility of„t
port of St. Thomas, and the fertility of the soil. -`,."; ..
Belgians have in view as much the establishtnent °'-
new outlet for their trade, as of a settlement for their
surplus population, and if the Governinenth,„34titeP,
flea itself of the nature of the c:;sred
and the prospects for emigrants, probably theue,s in
ends may be answered, though for any eountrY'..a. in
the case of England, to attempt settlemen" to
foreign countries, when such vast colonies are open

The arrangement of the British Queen -''from
