MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Market has been in a very agitated state since the com-
mencement of business, founded avowedly upon the intelli-
gence of the death of the Duke of Orleans, but in reality more
upon the state of the account. Few events have occurred of late
years likely to produce such serious consequences as the melan-
choly one in question. In the common course of nature it is not
probable that Louis Philippe will survive many years longer,
and the prospect of a lengthened Regency in such a nation as
France is not the most cheering. This being the " option
day" in Consols, and the present account being " bullish,"
every advantage has been taken by the opposite party, who
were likely to have been severe losers, to depress prices as
much as possible ; consequently Consols have been driven
down from 91fi to 90a for Money, and 9n for to-morrow,
without however any bona fide sales having been effected..
Three per Cents. Reduced 90fi ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
Reduced, 99fi ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 ; Bank
Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 249 250; India Bonds, 26 28;
Exchequer Bills, Old, 48 50, and New, 46 48 prem.
This has been the day of settling accounts in Foreign Secu-
rities, but as time bargains are not now made in them, the cir-
cumstance has attracted no notice. As has been the case for
some days past, business has again been confined to I)utch ; the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 51k, the Four per Cents. 1011.
The quotation for Mexican has declined to 35k.
In the Shares the only transactions have been—Edinburgh
and Glasgow, 43 ; London and Birmingham Quarters, 46fi ;
Great Western Halves, 61; South Western, 60k; and Brigh-
ten, 334.
Spanish Five per Cents. at 21h; and the Three per Cents.
20k, are the only bonds quoted to-day.
Recent advices from the United States appear to evince an
anxiety that the new loan should find purchasers in other coun-
tries. It would seem that the Americans are now fully con-
vincell of the shock which their national credit has received
by the repudiation system pursued by some of the
States, as well' as of the impossibility for enter-
ing into monetary negotiation with foreign capitalists,
until measures shall have been adopted to liquidate the old
liabilities. As a first step towards this, it has been proposed
that these debts shall be guaranteed by the Federal Govern-
ment, which is to arrange with the bondholders, and
collect the amount from the defaultees ; and it is to
be hoped that such a desirable object may be attained. If it
be, it will form no reason for advancing mere, since, constitu-
ted as the Government now is, no security can be given which
may not be revoked by future acts of Congress, or upon which
the borrowers can be obliged to refund.
