MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti
mated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, of which 500
American were taken for export and 1,000 on specula-
tion. The market closed firmly. The sales comprised
300 Pernam and Maranham at 54d. to sid., 100 Bahia
at sli. to 54d., 250 Egyptian at 50. to 74d., 1,000
Surat at 3d. to 44d., 20 Sea Island at Is. 14d. to Is. 6d.,
and the remainder American.—Railway Shares were
quiet.
In the Produce Markets the sales held this week
have been more numerous, and there is a better tone in
the market for the principal staples. The purchases
are for consumptton, not speculation, and the supplies
are adequate to check any decided or permanent ad-
vance. The Indigo auctions have closed satisfactorily
for the importers, and Wool has gone steadily. Cotton
has maintained its price, and silk is held at high rates.
Sugar has been firm, and Coffee in more request.
Spices maintained their value. Rum has been duller.
Tallow is mach the same, and also Tea.
The advices by the Avon steamer have been delivered
this morning. A movement was again making for the
purpose of obtaining a diminution in the amount of tolls
or duties exacted by the home country upon the staples
of the colony, the amount being considered enormous,
when the value of the goods is taken into consideration.
The object desired is that products of, the colonies
should enter this country upon the same footing as the
various counties of England, otherwise sugar growers
will be compelled to abandon the cultivation of that ar-
ticle. There exists no desire to increase the duties upon
sugar, whether foreign or colonial, but they seek as
great a reduction upon their produce as possible.
Another reason given for the reduction is the increased
supply of beet-root sugar from the continent, and also
the large amount of slave grown. Perhaps, on the whole,
this is a more tangible move than we have yet had, and
finding higher duties will not be acceded to, the colo-
nists seek relief in lower ones. Still the differential
principle would thereby he established, and this is not
likely again to be recognised.
Of the weather in Jamaica it is stated :—A high
north-easterly wind has prevailed for the last two or three
days, which has created a considerable ground swell in
the harbour, and a pressure of rollers into the River
Bay, though not to the obstruction of business, nor to
the fishermen. Grateful showers have fallen in the
night, but the temperature, which is about 76 morning
and 82 at noon, has undergone no considerable change
for the last few days. The grass round the town had
suffered greatly from hot dry winds, and has become
brown and parched. The continued northerly winds
have not improved it. Colds, catarrh, and influenzas,
prevail.
The terms upon which the Bank of England will
make loans on Stock during the shutting of the transfer
books have not been lowered 4 per cent., as stated by
the Times. The charge is 2 per cent., and was the
same prior to the payment of the January dividends.
The Funds are very steady this morning, and there
is a little more business doing, for transfer. Consols
bring 974 to I. Bank Stock is up to 218 k to 2191.
Exchequer-bills have been supported at 60s. to 635.
prem. There is no speculation going on.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have, in
conformity with what they believe to be the wish of their
constituents, opened negotiations for an advance on the
M exican assignment to them of 2,500,000 dollars of the
American indemnity; and hope, after the arrival of the
picket from the United States early next week, to be
alble to communicate a satisfactory result.
The Foreign Stocks are all good, and the settlement is
going in their favour. Mexican have been at 324 to 33
Grenada Deferred have touched 9 and 91; Equador are
44 4; and Peruvian 1014 to 102 for the Five per Cents.,
and 52 to 53 for the Deferred. Spanish Bonds are nomi-
ea 1. The bonds advertised to be paid off represent cer-
tain British claims adjusted in 1828. Dutch Four per
Cants aro 924 to td.
Railway Shares are moderately in request, but a trifle
lower in some instances. Some are quoted ex-dividend.
Foreign Shares are steady.
Gold Mine Shares are supported, but dull.
