MONEY and COMAIERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

It is supposed that the news from France was made use of
to depress the Funds to-day, more particularly for the pur-
pose of obliging certain weak parties, who have been operat►ng
for a rise, to close their accounts. This opinion is confirmed
to some extent by the fact that during the whole of the
period which has elapsed since the last settlement every
disposition which has been perceivable in the funds
to advance, has been immediately checked, and with-
out any apparent cause. Jobbers have for some
time evinced much disinclination to enter into busi-
ness until after the 15th, when, it is supposed, that
the indiv►duals above alluded to will be obliged to charge
their tactics. Consols this afternoon partially recovered from
the decline of the morning, and left off at 91, buyers both for
Money and for the Account. Bank Steck, 166 167 ; India
Stock, 248 249; Exchequer Biils, Old, 46 ; New, 46 48

however, did not materially vary. London and Birmingham

Western, 85 86 ; the Half Shares, 601 615 ; South Western,
60 61 ; North Midland, 59 60 ; the New Shares, 29 30 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 22 23 ; Eastern Counties, 64 84
Northern and Eastern, 40 41; Blaekwall, 9 91; and Brighton,

dam, 12 44, 12 5 ; Rotterdam, 12 5, 12 5* ; Antwerp, 12
44 ; Frankfurt, 151 ; Hamburgh, 13 10, 13 104; Pari 25

Five per Cents., and for the Three per Cent. Stock.
The quarterly sale of Indigo commenced to-day, and the pro.
!victors giving great support, the prices of April, tb 3d. per
p iund advance, were readily ob'ained. Of the 841 chests which
already have been put up, 633 were sold, of which the larger pro-
portion was for shipping ; the home trade, though numerous
in their attendance, apparently hanging back from purchasing.
This may, perhaps, be accounted for by the circumstance, that
large parce!s of former sales still remain to be forwarded, in
consequence of the intended reduction in the duty.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The intelligence from France of the adverse tendency of the
eections, as far as they have proceeded, to the present Minis-
try, had the effect of depressing Consols to 94. It is cone
sidered that advantage has been taken of the circumstance of a
few having gone against the party now in poaer, while
the. fact of others having been favourable has been kept back.
Parties very likely to be well informed are of opinion that the
final result will be a indjority of between 40 and 50 in their
Lvour. The prices have semew hat recovered from the mo-
mentary decline, and C.eisols are 91 for Money and far the
opening, and 911 9.. for the August account, with an ap-
pearance of being still higher. Three per Cents. Reduced,

quer Bills, Old, 48 50. and New, 46 48 prem.
The decline in the English Market caused a dulness in Fo-
reign Securities, the prices of which were not, however, altered
to any extent. The business has been, Duch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 515 ; and the Five per Cents., 10(1.
Mexican Bondi are quoted at 351.

tions. London and Birmingham, 177; North Midland, 59;
Northern and Eastern, 40 South Eastern and Dover, 223/ ;
and Brighton, 3334.
The bonds quoted to-day are—Colombian, 22i; Portuguese
Five per Cents., 33% ; and Spanish i hree per Cents., 20i.
Money continues exceedingly abundant,•and a sum for which
a parcel of Bank Stock was borrowed, could not be employed
at one per cent. although offered at rate.
The business at the Custom-house has been very extensive
this morning, and it is to be noticed that a large portion of
the goods cleared were either necessaries of consumption or
manufactures. The quantity of coffee taken out of bond has
far exceeded what might have been expected, fully showing
that dealers must have have been quite bare of stock. Although
so much extra labour• has thus been caused, yet scarcely any
beyond the ordinary time has been consumed in passing entries.
The Russell, Glover, arrived at Liverpool, has brought ac-
counts from New York to the 23d ult. The news, however,
1),, this arrival, like that by the packet-ship England, is equally
barren of iiitere.t. Business at New York, arid at the other
principal parts of the Union, continued without improvement.
Sales in the Stock Market are limited. The impetus given to
the Cotton Market by the recent advices from England had
subsided, and prices had a downward tendency.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 11.—A fair quan-
tity of Cotton was sold to day, at the quotations of last week.
The market preserved a quiet tone, and 5,000 bales met with
purchasers; 500 American were taken on speculation.
