MONEY

AND

1_ A ItKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market closed yesterday
with a heavy feeling, and a decline of nearly id.
per lb. on the current qualities of Americans was
submitted to, but other kinds were unchanged in
value. About 6,000 bales were sold, chiefly Ame-
ricans,- and all to spinners ; 500 Egyptian, 6d. to
Bd. ; 700 Surat, 418 d. to sd. ; and 30 Sea Islands,
10/d. to ls. per lb. The Railway Share Market
has been rather animated, and the transactions
were to a fair extent, at a slight decline on Satan,-
day's current rates.
The letters by the Overland Mail from India
represent business as being steady in exports at
Calcutta, and for saltpetre the demand was very.
large. Imports had been duller since the intelli-
gence from Manchester of a decline in prices there,
but the demand would have been better if the
disturbances up the country had not taken place.
Money was at about the former value, although
it would still be wanted, and an expectation pre-
vailed that further considerable sums would arrive
out from England, seeing the Bank here had 18
millions of bullion, and was doing bills at 31 per
cent. at the date of the accounts last received in
India. One stumbling-block in the way of im-
provement was the doubt whether the Government
could dispense with another loan, confidence being
impaired by the recent sudden loan at a
time when the Treasury was supposed to be so well
replenished. The high rate per rupee for bills
drawn in London by the Honourable East India
Company is sufficient inducement to send away
specie, and the railways must require to forward
large amounts to prosecute their works, now going
on most vigorously in the various directions. The
Scinde will not be behind the others, the great
energy of its managers insuring activity in every
department.
The large arrival of silver, 1,800,000 dollars, by
the West India and Mexican mails, will prove
very acceptable, and may, perhaps, occasion the
postponement of any further advance in the rate
of discount. It remains also to be seen whether
the pressure will not subside to-morrow, as the 10
per cent. on the Consols loan will then be over,
making 70 per cent. paid. Something depends
likewise, as stated under this head yesterday,
upon the course of events at Paris.
The stock market has been depressed again, and
prices have declined a per cent., with a fair supply
of Consols for immediate transfer, at prices ranging
from 89/ to 901. The bargains for account have
been at 901 to 901, and there have been, tempo-
rarily, sellers at 90k. Exchequer Bills are par to
4s. and East India Bonds 20s. premium. Bank
Stock for account has been 218.
The committee of Mexican Bondholders have
received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, 10th ult. The garrison of Mexico had on
the 13th ult. pronounced for the plan of Ayutla, ,
which ‘‘ pronunciamento" all the leaders of the
late President's party signed. In accordance with
this plan General Carrera, late Commander-in-
Chief, was elected-Provisional President. General
Carrera is described as a man of great moderation,
who was likely to do all in his power to maintain
order while in power, and to relinquish it without
reluctance when the public interest should require it.
No Ministers had been appointed, and the public
business was for the present carried on by the
chief clerks of the several ministerial departments.
Senor Don P. F. del Castillo was thus at the head
of the Department of Finance, and had by a circu-
lar order of the 16th August called for information
respecting all assignments on the public revenue,
suspending all of them until they should have been
duly examined, with the exception of the assign-
ments in favour of the bondholders and of the military
on actual duty. This is a very satisfactory indication
of the intentions of the new authorities ; and
Senor del Castello assured Mr. Whitehead that
such were also the sentiments of General Carrera.
The Wye, which arrived at St. Thomas too late
for the Atrato, had taken nothing from Vera Cruz
for the dividends but 12,500 dols. from Tampico.
Foreign Securities have been drooping, and there
are more sellers than buyers. Spanish Threes have
realised 38f, the Passive 5, and the Commitee's
Certificate 4. Mexican Bonds are supported, and
at 2111 a bargain is officially reported. Sardinian
Stock is worth 85 to 852. Turkish 6 per Cent.
Bonds have been 91 to 91g, and the Scrip 1 to
premium. French 3 per Cent. Scrip is 2i pre-
mium. Belgian 412 per Cents. are 95g 4.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ;
Peruvian, 77 to 78 ; ditto Three per Cents., 57 to
59 ; Portuguese Four per Cents,, 43 to 45 ; Rus-
sian Five per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ; Spanish New De-
ferred, 19k to 19q ; ditto Three per Cents., 381
to 39 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 51 ; ditto Passive,
4 to 41.
Railway Shares have been generally about per
cent. lower, without any attempt being made to
rally it, but we may question, after the fall which
has already occurred, whether speculators are not
forcing down prices rather than the real ;holders,
who, from the increased traffic, may reasonably
hope not to be in a worse position hereafter, save
in the case of one or two lines.
French Shares are cheaper, but it will need a
supply of them from Paris permanently to keep
down the quotations, as there is very little dealing
here at present, and the jobbers have not got them
at command. The Great Western of Canada
Shares are firmer, the six mouths' receipts being
large.
The Foreign Mines are at barely former rates.
Lusitanian, however, are still at a fair premium.
Banks are quieter, and in Land Shares there is less
doing.
