MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wore esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken on spe-
culation. There was a good demand from speculators ,
and prices of American were extreme as compared with
the rates of Friday last. Egyptian were id. lower, and
other kinds without alteration. The sales comprised
6,500 American, 750 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 400 Surat
at 30. to 44d,, and 40 Sea Island at Is. 7d. to Is. 9d.
per fn.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at
higher prices.
In the produce markets, this week, Coffee has realised
somewhat fuller prices. Sugar has been rather cheaper,
and holders have offered very little at the public sales.
Rice has given way a little. Spices generally have been
firm; in Cotton there has not been much doing, Tallow
has been quiet, and Tea has tended upwards. Jute has
been in fair demand, and Hemp at previous rates.
It must be noted as a gratifying circumstance that
the letters received from the agricultural districts con-
cerning the crops are cf a more cheerful tone within the
last few days, and admitting that there has been mis-
chief done, no reasonable fear is entertained that the
harvest will prove below an average for wheat, should
the weather continue to hold up. Of the potato disease,
likewise, we hear very little now, and at the waterside
market to-day it was scarcely spoken of, the quality of
tbosereceivecl being perfectly satisfactory, and the quan-
tity adequate.
There can be no doubt that while Peru possesses
exclusively a valuable commodity which all the world
covets, but which she most grudgingly and unwisely
prevents their obtaining upon anything like reasonable
terms, perpetual dissatisfaction will exist, and reiterated
efforts will be made to discover substitutes or break the
monopoly. We are not of that class, however, that
would advocate injustice on the ground of expediency,
or sanction the invasion of another country's
territory. Rather would we prefer the con-
tinuance of the present narrow-minded policy,
and its injurious results to our agriculturists,
and, as the issue might prove, to the bondholders like-
wise, than a violation of national or private rights.
Precisely, however, on this account would we encourage
the most strenuous exertions, by negotiation, by remon-
strance, or by comnromise, to bring about a more equitable
and advantageous state of things. If the Peruvian Go-
vernment thinks in these days of progress and discovery,
of liberal views and enlightened policy, it can shut itself
as 'Lasers) within a Chinese wall, barring out the ap-
proach of friend and foe alike, and remaining insensible
to all overtures, it greatly miscalculates the temper of
the age. What England may and will, we trust, be
too scrupulous to sanction, other countries may be less
chary of attempting. At present the conduct of Peru
resembles that of Holland in her worst days of restric-
tion, when she burnt the costly products of the Eastern
colonies to prevent their superabundance in the Euro-
pean markets, In the same way that this stimulated
the discovery of other islands, the sulphur monopoly of
Naples brought forward new and excellent substitutes,
and a few years longer of a system which keeps guano
at double its proper value, will, in all probability, hasten
the exertions of those who are aware of the importance
of town sewerage. We want of Peru not 150,000 tons
of guano, as at present, but five to six times as much,
and at a moderate price we could turn it all to profitable
account. And where would be the loss to the public in
giving the increased supply ? Is she fearful of its ex-
haustion, when by many we are assured the quantity
obtained will last for hundreds of years, or does she
greedily covet every sixpenc3 she can wring from Eng-
hind, which helped hor in her sore distress, and has paid
her back for this commodity alone far more than the
sum which Peru originally borrowed? Let the Republic
then be wise in time, and attend to the suggestions of
its best friends. Just now there is a plan put
forth " for the Equitable Settlement of the Guano
Question, in which the interests of the Agriculturists,
the Peruvian Government, and the Bondholders are
duly considered," and this plan, though susceptible of
modification and improvement, no doubt is favourably
viewed in most quarters. Tho following are the prin-
cipal features :-
Ist. That the Peruvian Government shall lower the
price of Guano from 91. ss. to 71. 10s. per ton, on con-
dition that the British Government guarantees to the
Peruvian Government and the bondholders, the present
revenue derived from Guano, viz., 637,5001. per annum,
as a minimum to be applied according to the terms of the
present contract, the British Government reserving to
itself the power of redeeming the debt altogether.
2d. That in order to reimburse itself for this guaran-
tee the British Government shall levy a duty of 21. 10s.
per ton on all Guano imported into this country, and
that the Peruvian Government should engage, through
Messrs. Gibbs, to supply Guano at 71. 105. per ton, dt?:
on
paid, and engage to ship or supply to this countryi(ls. er
less than 255,000 tons per annum, which at 21. x !_it..
ton would be equivalent to 637,5001., the minime, g u
ranteed.
3d. That the duty of '2l. los., so far as it. is
Go
of its exc
from Peruvian Guano, shall, in the event derived
ePeruvian Go-
-657,500/, be handed over,
vornmtnt, and one-halt tooneihhealfbtoUdthholders, until the
whole of the debt is extinguishode.xiinguished it shall be

but tier the convenience of all "'all parties it silvan continue
for ten years.
sth. That the British Government invite every enter

into u similar 'ttyrhroo.snegerC
duty of 2/. 103. on all Guano im-
portedments—vie , to levy a

Gth. Every Government entering into this
arrange-
ment, to guaranteeessionto the Peruvian Government the
peaceable poss
of the Guano Islands off the coast of
Peru, whether in peace or war, so that no interruption
shall tisk° place in the supply of Guano to the agricul-
ture of the world.
7th. The Peruvian Government to bind itself to place
Great Britain on the same footing, as regards the
supply of Guano, as the most favoured nation.
