MONEY and COMMERCIAL -a
CITY, TWO O'CLO-,
Yesterday was observed as a partial holiday;
Liverpool Cotton Market; the sales were about`
bales, at previous rates.—The Stock Exchange
closed.
The stock of Cotton at Liverpool is 423,730
Magainst 454,879 bales at this time last year.
From Manchester we have the following state;
respecting the condition of trade, by Messrs. Ai
Greenhow, and Irving:—
" Adhering, as we have done for many years, 141
absence of any necessity for supplying a geneses
annual review of the condition of this market-s 11;
from time to time, by our monthly Circulars, 0
endeavoured to inform our correspondents with ,
was passing—we would to-day desire to be excuse;
referring to the opinion which we expressed at tbl:
meucement of the present year, in direct opposilicd
the very general and sanguine views then expresse ,
entertained in favour of its realising a very proSq
character. No doubt, however, now remains.
as the great elucidator of all matters, whether of
poral or of a commercial character, has in its pru;
manifested, by palpable results, great injury to ';
merchants whose bright promises, indulged in .4,
months ago, have been subdued by the conseedee
too much indulgence in the belief that a year ofe
ampled prosperity was then dawning upon them,
fearful depreciation of every description of
produce, as now existing, attests this truth in
reality. The community at large has, be!,
benefitted by the great decline in the vettk,
produce, and in the general cheapness of Pr
c;
sions. One great source of all the
must be ascribed to the high price of cotton at the",
of last year; to the belief that its value would be ,
tained; and to the existence of a very general Or
that not only its then value would be maintsineefd
that the high prices for the manufactured articles "
ruling would continue, and to the consequent heal;
port and import transactions which were entered 1
The fallacy of this belief has been shown too severe'',,
" Be these as they may; a large production, bolls
has been added to that previously existing. 0,1:0
crease may not be without its drawbacks in efter,,,'
still the operatives in the cotton trade are well and ''
ficially employed at this moment. And this bring,o
back to state what more properly comes within Of
"(ince.
" As reported by our last Circular, a very extel3l:
business has been done in November, the effeete
which, from the continued existence of contracts are o
apparent. At the commencement of the present o°o
the same disposition continued to influence buyers g
tt
rally, until—what had been by many anticlpated!lo
receipt of intelligence of another revolution in Filo
Its effects were instantaneous, and a comparative s,'
pension of transactions followed, and continued up
,e.
more pacific tone characterised the general appears%c
matters there. Under the natural feeling of uncertain
producers became willing sellers, at rather lower 110
Confidence, however, in the durability, for a time, inA
position of matters connected with that country, twwoli
absence of any material influence upon Contitleio,
Europe, subsequently became restored; and 1101;ti
standing the unfavourable accounts from India, We've
assumed a firmer tone, and transactions have •r
entered into with less hesitation, but only for pass
immediate wants."
Reports of a very injurious character respecting
li
stability of certain highly respectable firms ware
yesterday afternoon, but met a positive contradicti,‘
Nevertheless some parties still talk doubtingly, Wit"ho
mentioning names. We understand that one of
houses alluded to paid away yesterday about 4,63,f
availing itself of the discount instead of giving bills; ello
firm at Liverpool that was currently alluded toop
offered to discount all its paper out at 2 per cenct:
to give a reward of 5001. on conviction of the WV
originated the report. The moment a failure occurl'e;
is beat to announce it publicly, otherwise half-1341c
housea get their credit whispered away, and as we 1014%1
doubt that more failures are inevitable, it would be "Ito
when they do occur that the firms themselves give
earliest and most extended information. i 0
