MONETARY AND COMMERUIAL

THURSDAY EVENING

For Cotton a fair demand prevails, at about
previous rates. The sales to-day were about 5,000
bales, of which 500 were on speculation and for
export, without further change in price.
In the Liverpool Share Market p.rices have
been somewhat higher to-day; nevertheleSs, the
business done has been upon the most limited
scale, and there is no new feature to report. The
following were among the transactions :—Bir-
kenhead, 771 ; Eastern Counties, 111 ; Great
Western, 59 ; London and North-western, 944;
Midland, 1051 to 104; North Staffordshire, 41
to 44d ; Warrington and Stockport, 9; Dutch
Rhenish, 5 9-16 d; Grand Trunk of Canada, 8 11 -16 ;
Liverpool and London Fire and Life, Tlic p
A general decrease has taken place in the
inquiry for accommodation. Now the half-
monthly accounts at the Stock Exchange have
been concluded, there is a larger supply of money

than ever ; and the rate for first-class prime paper
is 21 to 21. The demand at the Bank was ex-
tremely sluggish, clearly indicating that the
pressure this day week was occasioned by the
apprc

hension that the directors would have ad-
vanced the terms for discount.

Although business on the London Stock Ex-
change is very limited, there was evidently a bet-
ter feeling, and at the close of business there was
a slight reaction in prices, Conic)ls closing at an
advance of a per cent., viz., at 951 to 95k, for
both money and the account. The New Threes
are quoted at 955 to 96, and Exchequer Bills 23

to 26

The London Railway Share Market was inac-
tive all the day, closing firmly. Canadian and
French Shares were inactive. We quote Caledo-
nian 83 to 831 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire 954
London and North-western 941 to 941; Midland
1051 to 1051 ; Dovers 741 to 741.
The Corn Trade remains dull. In Wheat and
Flour there is very little business doing, and
even a slight concession in price does not induce

purchases to any extent.
The demand for the chief articles in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets is very limited,
and prices of Sugar, Molasses, and Rum, are
merely nominal.

By the arrival of the screw steamer Jura, we
have New York • advices to the 6th instant. On
the sth the Cotton Market was inactive, and
sales quite limited. The heavy fall of rain during
the greater part of the business hours of the day
tended to check transactions. In the absence of
sales of importance, the market closed nominal at
quotations given in another column. Flour was
again heavy, and cheaper for the common grades
of State and Western. Southern Flour was also
easier, while sales of all kinds were limited. Wheat
was firmer, and supplies of prime to choice new
were scarce, while sales were moderate, among
which were prime to choice white Kentucky at $1
56c. to $l, 65c., and prime Southern at slsoc. to $1
56c. Indian Corn was firm, and in fair demand, at
76c. to 78e. for Western mixed. Pork was irregular

and lower, with sales of mess at $l4 80c. to
$lB 874 c., thin mess at $l3 871 c., and prime at
$lO 70c. to $lO 87-Ic., and 1,000 barrels were sold,
deliverable in the first fifteen days of October, at

1 ~i~.

Beef was heavy, while LEtta wai firm

Freights were firmer, with more offering tor
English ports. Among the engagements were
500 bales of Cotton for Liverpool at 5-32 d. to

The estate of Messrs. Reid, Irving, & Co., one
of the principal firms brought to the gronnd in the
panic of 1847, is being liquidated in a manner
much more favourable than was anticipated.
Although fully eleven years have elapsed
since the suspension, the amount of dividend
paid has steadily increased, until, with the
is. 6d. in the pound announced in the annexd
circular, it now amounts -to 6s. This is a very
different result from that which was considered
the prospect some five or six years ago. By perse-
severance and good management the properties
have been realised, and the avoidance of litiga-
tion has bnabled a larger division, notwithstand-
ing the lengthened intervals at which the pay-
ments have been effected. It is satisfactory to
find that, from the proceeds of the Mauritius
property, which furnishes the means of the pre-
sent distribution, a further sum of 2s. to 2s. 6d.
in the pound may be obtained.
An endeavour, it appears, is being made to
arrange the bankruptcy of Messrs. Oak and Snow,
Blandford Forum, bankers, on the basis of a com-
position of ss. Bd. in the pound.
The London Wool Sales continue to be largely
attended, and the biddings to-day have ruled

active at extreme quotations. Over 2,000 bales
have been disposed of on continental account.

THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE

LONDON, Thursday Evening

The Funds to-day are firmer. Consols are quoted
at an improvement •of 1-16 toy per cent. The
government broker has purchased another parcel
of £15,000 Consols for account of the savings
banks. A favourable effect has been produced by
the announcement of the amnesty in France.
Stock Exchange biisiness,however,remains limited.
The weekly court at the bank has separated
without altering the rate of discount, nor was
any change expected. The Russian Loan is
quoted u to a prem., and the Indian nominally 98
to 1. Consols are officially marked 951 to 2 for money,
and 951 to 1 for the 7th of September. The
present quotation is 954 to 1 both for money and
the account. The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 951 to 96i ; the New Three
per Cents., at 951 to 961 ; the Indian Four per
Cent. Debentures, 1858, at 951 ; ditto, 1859, at
941 ; India Bonds, at 1 ls. to 15s. dis. ; and
Exchequer Bills, at 235. to 265. prem. The
transactions in the foreign Stock Market have
been upon rather a limited scale. Attention has
been chiefly directed to Turkish stocks, which
have improved, the Old Loan being quoted 83 to
1, and the New, 73 to 74. Other descriptions
are well supported.
A meeting was held to-day of the creditors of
Messrs. E. and A. Prior, coal merchants, who
failed on the 6th instant. The liabilities were
stated at £83,988, and the assets at only
L 17,726. A committee of inspection was ap-
pointed, who will present their report to an
adjourned meeting to be held on Tuesday next.
