AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CL6e:T.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed heavily, and prices declined id. per lb.
compared with Friday's rates. The sales were esti-
toated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, comprising 200
Ilexuam and Maranham at 61d. to 71d., 100 Bahia
at 70. to 70.' 200 Egyptian at 60. to 7/d., and
Surats at 41d. to 51d. per lb. The Railway
"Share Market was firm, with more business doing.
The criminal charge against Messrs. Strahan,
Paul, and Bates is one which, if established, will
Ko far to destroy all confidence, unless it be found
that the law can punish such a case. It is a very
common practice with parties keeping a banker
allow the latter to collect for them the
Interest that accrues upon the various securities,
and in the instance of foreign bonds to cut
off the coupons. Such appears to have been done
I'7 Dr. Griffiths, and we believe there are plenty of
other persons in a similar position. Some different
forms of misappropriation are, however, under-
stood to have been likewise practised. Instruc-
tions have been given by clients to purchase
India Bonds, and it is said that these were pro-
fessedly carried out, but that since the bankruptcy
took place it is discovered that no purchases were
liaade. It will depend entirely upon whether any
broker's note was furnished whether this can be
deemed an offence. The strongest desire is ex- ,
Pressed in City circles that, if frauds have been
committed, strict justice should follow.
The New French Loan is spoken of now in a 1
Vlore definite shape, and the statement that it is E
to be raised differently to the last is calculated to
5
excite some attention, if not surprise. It is pos- 2
Bible that greater difficulty would be experienced s
.1,0 borrowing from the people at large than upon the S
'Mt occasion, as there must be a limit to the accumu-
tions and the savings of every class,and they cannot €l_,
4.1 a few months be supposed to have amassed suffi- st
dent to make up an aggregate subscription of 20 It
or 30 millions sterling. Prosperous times would
this,
allow the smaller class of annuitants to do 12
PA, and we must remember that the war has rather 'it
Impaired than strengthened the ordinary resources. 161.
:Yith the capitalists and bankers, however, it is St.
1
ar otherwise. The curtailment of trade has thrown 3
large amounts out of employment, and these have 29,
accumulated in the " till," and would be willingly st:
Plight out for investment in Government secu-
''ties, nor is it improbable that our bankers would 20
